I can't say enough about Olya and her team. My husband and I don't love attention, which is difficult on your wedding day. Olya made us feel comfortable, like she wasn't even there. She was kind and professional, non-obtrusive, and truly a pleasure to be around. Most people didn't even notice she was there getting shots. Her work is amazing and I can't wait to get our pictures!

We selected Olya to be our wedding photographer because we felt her photos were stylish, romantic and timeless - she more than exceeded our expectations! On the day it was like having another fun guest at the wedding, she managed the shoot subtly and effectively and enhanced everyone's enjoyment of our special day.

Planning a wedding can be unnecessarily stressful, but Olya made the entire photography process seamless and stress free. She was the only photographer who we met because of her professional and friendly demeanor, not to mention the gorgeous photos! I could not be happier with how our pictures turned out, and we have received dozens of compliments from our friends and family. Neither I nor my husband wanted cheesy, forced photos, and Olya really delivered on capturing us exactly how we are, and gives the perfect amount of direction. She and her husband captured moments without us even knowing, and those were the best photos! Whether we were getting ready, walking through NYC parks/streets, or dancing with our friends, Olya created the perfect narrative of our day. The only downside of everything is that I am so overwhelmed by the sheer number of excellent photos I now have! Even knowing nothing about photography, it is beyond clear that Olya is a master of her craft and a true artist. I couldn't recommend her more!

We could not have asked for better photographers. Olya and Igor are beyond talented. They captured every moment of our special day and did not miss anything. I love their attention to detail and the fact that they shoot in digital and film it makes all the difference in the world i promise. For me it was the personal feel - how i never Had to instruct a single photo, how I felt like i enjoyed our day without interruption and they were both so sweet.

I absolutely cannot say enough good things about Olya. I came across her website while searching for a photographer for our Aug 2017 wedding, and was immediately drawn to her style, her passion, and her unique ability to storytell through images. She seemed to be able to capture not just the events themselves but the spirit of the day, and the warmth and the joy surrounding the people she photographed. When my now husband and I met Olya in person, her passion for what she does and her creativity, kindness, and generosity of spirit were immediately obvious and we knew we wouldn't be able to find a better person to be with us on our wedding day.

I won't bury the lead - we hit the absolute jackpot with Olya. Every time we look at the photos she created, we relive the beauty of the day.

Neither my husband nor I love being put on the spot or having our photos taken, and on our wedding day we certainly didn't want things to feel staged or tasked. Instead, we wanted to have a memory of what the day was like that felt - well, real. And indeed, she made us feel as though it was just the two of us on a date, enjoying the experience and each other.
Olya is punctual, reliable, she communicates quickly and openly, she is so easy to work with, and she is one of the sweetest, kindest, loveliest people I have ever met. Her love and passion for what she does is so obvious and we just couldn't be happier that our paths crossed.

So here's the bottom line. Olya's work speaks for itself -do yourself a favor and check out her website. Our photos are stunning and in every shot you can see a piece of the story that comprised the day. Every detail is captured with love and intent. Every shot has a meaning. If that sounds like something you envision for your own day - contact Olya, you won't regret it :)

Olya was a dream. She was so lovely and professional - she made us feel like we weren't even being photographed. My husband and I didn't want to have any posed shots during our wedding because it wasn't really our thing. Olya worked with this and did such a fantastic job of capturing our day with friends and family. We couldn't have asked for a better photographer :)

Working with Olya as our wedding photographer was one of the best decisions we made, hands down. Her photography style is beautiful and unique, providing a more documentary, candid feel to our photos. We also did a series of posed family and friend portraits that came out wonderful. We worked together to create a shot list, but our favorite images were shot when she pulled us aside during the sunset to run through the grass. She captured perfectly how we were feeling in that moment. She also has such a lovely, gentle approach, she seemed to be able to insert herself into just the right position without us barely noticing, so we always felt comfortable. She was timely in her delivery, we loved getting a few sneak peeks while on our honeymoon, and then getting all the digital files afterwards for our use. We can't say enough good things about Olya!

I couldn’t possibly think of enough words to give Olya enough praise to describe how great of an experience it was to work with her at our wedding. But I’ll try..

First and foremost, Olya is a true artist. Our wedding photos capture so much emotion and joy in them, and they look stunning. She used both digital and film cameras, exhibiting a wide range of talent and technique. Especially the film photos have a magical, ethereal quality to them, which can only be done by someone with Olya’s talent. It’s clear that she devotes a lot to each and every photo, making each one so special.

Secondly, Olya is extremely professional. We planned every detail about the day together, which made me feel really comfortable as a bride. She was highly communicative, and had great ideas and advice regarding shooting locations around the city.

Finally, Olya was a joy to work with. Doing our first look photos and portraits felt like we were hanging out with a friend. She and her second photographer, Igor, blended seamlessly in the wedding, allowing them to get great shots and for us to have tons of fun.

Wedding photos don’t get better than Olya. I love looking back on them to this day.

Olya is an incredible photographer. Her calm, sweet nature and unobtrusive approach makes you feel so comfortable and so at ease in front of the camera. She took our engagement and wedding photos and also my maternity and newborn photos. I cannot imagine having anyone else document these milestones in my life. I am so in love with all of my photographs! She has a way of seeing beyond the surface and capturing moments that really tell a story.

Olya is a rockstar . The perfect mix of an actual artist and a professional . Super pleases with everything
