Ioana was truly the best photographer we could have asked for on our wedding day. From our very first consultation, we could tell that she and her husband genuinely cared and would put their hearts into capturing such a special day for us.

Ioana did an incredible job capturing all of the moments and memories that we’ll now be able to cherish forever. Beyond her talent as a photographer, she was also incredibly thoughtful and kind. She even surprised us with a beautiful gift basket filled with foods from her native country of Romania, which was such a meaningful and unexpected gesture.

We are so happy that we chose Ioana to be part of our wedding day and truly could not imagine having had a better experience. We will forever be grateful for the beautiful memories she captured for us and would recommend her without hesitation!

We hired Ioana for our 150-person wedding at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, and we would highly recommend her!

From the very beginning, Ioana was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly generous with her time and expertise. It was clear that she truly cared about us as clients and wanted to understand what mattered most to us.

When we first met and asked to see more of her portfolio, we were blown away by how consistently beautiful each of her albums was. And sure enough, when we received our own wedding gallery, we felt the same way. She captured us, the venue, the small details, and our guests so perfectly. Every element of the day came through beautifully, and we were so impressed by both the quality and quantity of photos captured by Ioana and her second photographer.

As a bride, there is so much of the night you do not get to see firsthand, and I loved being able to experience so much of the evening through our guests’ eyes. That was especially true in the highlight reel, which brought the moments of the night to life and added the movement and energy that photos alone sometimes cannot fully capture.

My husband and I are usually awkward having our photos taken, but Ioana and her second photographer both had such a calm presence and documentary-style approach that we felt completely natural and at ease. The result was a collection of beautiful, genuine photos that really felt like us.

We received so many compliments from our guests about Ioana and her sneak peek that we decided to include printed guest photos in our thank-you notes, along with a link to the full gallery. We absolutely loved working with Ioana and would hire her again in a heartbeat!

We couldn’t be happier with our experience with Ioana! She was incredibly professional, attentive, and truly listened to all our requests. The photos turned out absolutely stunning — exactly how we envisioned them — and her editing skills are just amazing. We find ourselves reliving our wedding day almost every day, as the pictures roll on our TV when it’s not in use 😊. We’re so grateful for her work and couldn’t recommend her more highly!

I recommend Ioana, first of all for her dedication to the art of photography, professionalism and promptness. Her view to portrait us in the photos was unique and the vibe during the photography sessions was amazing! She is a young and open spirit. I recommend with the utmost confidence!

Choosing Ioana as our photographer was one of the best choices we made for our wedding. A partnership that we will always appreciate. We had a number of requests, and Ioana was extremely attentive to our needs. To the same extent, Ioana was clear and concise about the way she works, and we, in turn, tried to respect this. We also assure you that Ioana is a serious person, of her word, and the quality of her work is... superb! We received exactly what we wanted. Ioana is a warm person, who managed to bring calmness to a busy day. She is the kind of dear person, who simply stays in your heart. We will definitely collaborate with her again, which we recommend to you too.

We couldn't be happier with Ioana's services. Our wedding photos are absolutely beautiful and capture every special moment in a unique way. Ioana was a discreet and passionate presence at our event, which contributed to a relaxed and natural atmosphere. She managed to capture all the emotions and joy of our day in the most beautiful frames. We highly recommend her services!

The photos were spectacular, they managed to reflect reality very well, it was everything we wanted. Ioana was very professional and very kind, we had a good connection throughout the event and she understood our wishes. If you want documentary style pictures and you hate posing Ioana is the one for you.

Our civil wedding was the first time we had the opportunity to look for a professional to capture this moment. We had the chance to be honored by Ioana Stavar, a completely exceptional photographer. Her work along with her incredible presence and warmth allowed us to create together a cinematic, luxurious gallery with a vintage accent. In short, these were core moments that got captured in such a way to remain unforgettable. From a minimalist and intimate event, Ioana transformed our story into a fairytale through the magic of her photography. If you haven't connected with someone on the pictures side yet, it is due the fact that you haven't chosen Ioana yet!

Ioana is a warm person and the most adaptable photographer I ever met. She managed to make me feel not only cute, but the most beautiful bride, far beyond what I would have imagined ❤️ She was able to fold her approach in conformity to each guest's personality. Thank you very much, Ioana! You managed to capture each emotion ❤️
