About

We take a personal approach to every newly engaged couple. We love hearing their stories, getting to know them, and learn about their special relationships with family and friends. Even though there are lots of details, effort and investment put into the wedding itself, at the end of the day what really matters is beloved people surrounding a couple on the wedding day.

What comes to your mind when you think: “Why should I hire a wedding photographer? What are the reasons?” This is a very simple question, but it shouldn’t be ignored because the answers will help you understand your needs. Here are the things that we value:

  • Love, family and friendship
  • Experiences over material things
  • Fully experience the occasion with family and friends and have a piece of mind that professionals capture it

If your values are similar to ours, then we look forward to working with you to document your special day.

We believe, photographing from the heart is the only way to show not just how you looked on the wedding day, but also how you felt. Welcome to Red Trolley Studio, our vision of documenting the day from the heart.

Amazing and Epic Photography Power Couple!

Segrey and Silyara are some of the sweetest people you could ever hope to have around you , let alone working to make your wedding day perfect. These two made my wife and I's day ever more special. The professionalism and creative input from them to make sure we could remember our day best is above and beyond. I would STRONGLY recommend them to anyone looking for an amazing Photography vendor ,and good people. They captured unique moments in ways I can't explain , but only show. They made our wedding on 3/15/2019 very special!

Personable and natural wedding photographers

My husband and I were very particular and had a hard time in choosing a wedding photographer. We wanted to have someone there not to stage us on our wedding day, but to capture what was happening. Once we saw Red Trolley's work, we knew they were who we needed.
Sergey and Dilyara are extremely passionate about the emotion involved on a wedding day and how important it is to be able to still feel what you did that day, years later. They are a very sweet couple and you can feel how happy they are for you in the planning process, and especially on your wedding day.
My husband and I are not "picture" or "pose" people, so they both did an excellent job of making a comment or question to get us in a more natural state when we were thinking too much about pictures. They were very good at never being noticed or in the way of any of our ceremony or reception moments, but always there to capture the perfect moments. They would do whatever was needed to capture a shot in the best stylistic way, and from whatever angle was needed.
They are extremely dedicated to putting out their best work and making sure the couples and everyone involved is happy.

I met Sergey and Dilyara at a Bridal Show in San Diego. I was instantly drawn to their photography style because you could really see the raw emotion in the moments they captured in their photography. I also loved the fact that they are a photographer couple! Shortly after meeting them we hired them for our engagement photos and to document our wedding. Additionally, we hired Red Trolley Studio to do our videography and video editing!

Both experiences were absolutely amazing. Sergey and Dilyara really know how to work with you to help you feel your feelings in order to get those really raw, emotional photos. Our engagement shoot was half in our home and half in the town by our house. Both experiences were lovely, the in-home shoot really captured us in a relaxed state and the outdoor ones were more formal. We loved hundreds of images from our engagement shoot and had a really great time!

Our wedding was documented PERFECTLY. I can't even narrow down my favorite photos because I love so many of them. They really captured the feelings and experience of us and the guests, rather than just posed-photos of the event. We just got our highlight video last week and I can't stop watching it. It is so beautiful and helps me to relive all of the special moments of our wedding day.

Thank you SO SO SO much Sergey and Dilyara for capturing our memories. I hope to work with you again in the future!

Incredibly talented, empathetic, and innovative, Sergey and Dilyara were the perfect photographers for our wedding. They made the planning process fast and easy, and flew all the way to New York on a short notice! Our ceremony was in Shakespeare Garden, Central Park. Sergey and Dilyara arrived in NYC a day prior and, on the day of the wedding, were at the park bright and early, already familiar with the place and armed with ideas.
Our photos turned out magical! They captured candid beautiful moments that day, and today every time we look at the photos we get to relive those precious moments. We feel very fortunate to have found Red Trolley!

We met Sergey and Dilyara at our wedding venue's open house where there were plenty of photographers to chose from. What made Red Trolley stand out above the rest was their high-quality portfolio and how friendly, warm, and professional they were. We knew right away that we made the right choice to hire them for our big day. They communicated perfectly, sent us a very useful prep packet, and skyped a few times to get to know us. By wedding day, we already felt like Sergey and Dilyara were our friends.

We couldn't be happier with the end results. During the entire event, Sergey and Dilyara were EVERYWHERE and made sure not to miss a thing. Our friends and family keep commenting about our awesome photographers. Red Trolley delivered priceless images that make us relive our beautiful day again and again.

We are currently in the process of selecting our favorite photos for our album and big frame, but are having a very difficult time because they are all so amazing.

Red Trolley Studio (RTS) IS AMAZING, literally converse your vision, give details, and come day of, the photos will look a million times better going above and beyond your expectations. Guarantee they’ll capture exactly what you want. We searched forever finding many great options, but RTS stood out because of their ability to capture the story, by snapping key moments as they took place, this was phenomenal. We wanted this unique ability and they exceeded our expectations. Our wedding preview: https://video214.com/play/PCNHioFHN7je7cDtt3b3Sg/s/dark captured all our dorky smiles and cheesy laughs showing just how happy we were the wedding day. We’re beyond impressed with RTS because these photos put us right back into the happiest day of our lives. Their work the day of, pictures and overall work, blew us away, & our entire wedding party away, literally our guests were raving about them. They made picture taking look easy, when in reality it’s difficult to capture what they captured. We literally cannot express how happy we’re to have had the opportunity to work with them. They made us laugh, captured our dorky shots, and caught our tears; they took pictures when we didn't even know anyone was looking. Randomly, I would hear the camera, and was just shocked they knew exactly when to shoot capturing our in the moment shots. They not only know how to capture candid shots, but they’re also very creative in creating images from places I would of never expected to take photos. The portrayed shots, don't even look like we were posing because they made it easy for us to think of each other rather than thinking this photo is taking place let me pose, which we loved. Thank you Red Trolley Studio for making our day perfect, and capturing every perfect shot going above and beyond our expectations, we couldn't be happier!

My husband and I were married October 15, 2016 at The Westgate Hotel.

What can I say Red Trolley was exactly what I wanted. They listened to our wants and needs. They were very professional, organized and on time...

When we saw the video it was more than we expected and we expected a lot.

You will not regret hiring them

They were absolutely amazing. Professional - on time - they knew their music. I suggest that you give them an idea of your expectations - music you like etc. Our wedding had a super club atmosphere and they looked and played the part.

Sergey and Dilyara are so amazing and talented! They shot our engagement photos and wedding. At the engagement shoot we had never had professional photos done and they made us feel so comfortable and helped us great beautiful moments. Doing the engagement shoot with them made the wedding photos that much better. They captured all the details; I'm obssesed with all the photos. We also purchased an album from them; which is another work of art!! I could go on forever with how amazing these two are. If you're looking for great people with great talent look no further.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
