Slava was Amazing. He started taking pictures early in the afternoon and never stopped till the wedding reception was over. He went out of his way to make sure that my daughter's wedding pictures would be Picture Perfect. He is very dedicated to getting just the right shot. I highly recommend him for all your photography needs.,

Slava is absolutely one of the BEST wedding photographers in the business. After meeting with him and seeing samples of his work, we knew without hesitation, that this was our guy. Slava has an incredibly artistic eye towards romance and brings and ethereal dream-like quality to his photos, without compromising spontaneity and a "candid-feel" to his photos. Simply said, he captures every aspect of your love, on film. Slava's helpful tips for all aspects of our wedding planning literally saved us thousands. He's been in the wedding business for 20+ years, and has some incredibly helpful advice, well beyond photography. One of the most wonderful recommendations he made, was doing a pre-wedding shoot (HIGHLY recommend) at Las Velas. If you don't know of this place, you MUST check it out. It is gorgeous and very inexpensive to use as a stunning backdrop for a romantic bridal shoot (see photos below). Slava was exceptionally skillful at posing us just perfectly (literally, he would pose our bodies to the millimeter to get the most perfect photo). His technical skills are outstanding, but honestly, he's an artist! Slava was quick to communicate through every step of the process (he responded typically in a matter of minutes). He masterfully guided us through both the pre-wedding shoot and the wedding/reception photos. The finished product? Beyond our WILDEST EXPECTATIONS. No lie. We never imagined we could look so great, and that our love for one another could be captured on film. Slava did it. Our final photo album is absolutely gorgeous and we will display it proudly on our coffee table to share with friends and family. Be sure to purchase the copyrights to the photos and get all of the jpeg images, as those are wonderful for social media and sending to friends and family. We would give Slava a TEN STAR rating if there were such a thing. We interviewed several photographers with vastly inferior work for twice the price. BOOK HIM!!!

Slava was amazing! On time, easy to communicate with, fast paced, and friendly! Our photos came back within a week and they looked absolutely stunning. Highly recommend. He was willing to work with our budget and was not pushy in any way like other photographers we met with. We are beyond pleased!

We hired Slava to do the bridal portraits and the wedding photos. Slava was professional, on time (early), and most importantly he is an artist. He plays with light in the photos in a beautiful way. We were also impressed by his turnaround time to get the photos ready. He had them by noon the day after our wedding. We have been amazed by his ability to capture moments, to help us pose (when none of us are models) and to create beautiful photos so we can treasure our wedding memories. Thank you Slava!

Without a doubt, Slava is an amazing photographer. He is very professional, accommodating, easy to work with, and we are thankful that we had the opportunity to capture one of our family's very special events through such splendid photography.

Slava was extremely patient and professional. The pictures Exceeded my expectations and we received them so quicjly! We had used Slava for my sister’s wedding and his work was just as beautiful as hers even though our weddings varied greatly in style. We still have not stopped receiving complements on our pictures even 3 weeks after our wedding! I would definitely recommend SGI photography to anyone in the future!

I cannot speaking highly enough of my experience with SGI Photography! Slava is extremely professional and has a clear passion for what he does. He is friendly, laidback and just all around enjoyable to work with. Slava always made me feel like my fiancé and I were his only clients. He took the time to really discuss what was most important to us when it came to our wedding pictures, and he absolutely nailed it! He pays great attention to small details, and does a remarkable job of capturing color and lighting. Slava did both our engagement and wedding pictures. Both times we got the photos back in only a day or so and were blown away by how amazing of a job he did. If I had to plan my wedding over again 100 times, I would absolutely choose SGI photography every single time!

You can trust Slava to capture the moments most significant and memorable for a wedding! Does his research & plans accordingly for the big day to photograph exactly what the bride and groom have envisioned.
He is big on punctuality and will be there 10-15 minutes prior to the discussed time, sometimes even earlier so you don’t never wait on him to set anything up.
Very professional and does AMAZING work, effectively communicated in a timely manner (which puts you at ease because you can count on an immediate response).
He is absolutely AWESOME!!

I must say that I am a very detailed person and very selective when it comes to my satisfaction. By the time I had come across Slava I had already met with and researched a good number of photographers. When I saw his work online I remember admiring his romantic style. I met with him and decided to hire SGI photographry for our engagement shoot, bridals, and wedding day photos. I must say that what Slava delivers is an art! He is a very gifted photographer! Aside from his professionalism, his patience, and his knowing exactly what to do when your wedding of 200 people is moving four hundred miles an hour, hes is an artist. When you lay eyes on your final product you will not regret hiring SGI photography. He works hard to deliver your candid moments. He knows exactly how to pose you so you don't have "double chin" in your photos LOL! People like Slava are very few and far between. He works hard and makes sure his customers are satisfied. Over everything, Slava has a love and a passion for what he does and he has integrity in his work. The best advice I could ever give you would be HIRE SLAVA FOR YOUR WEDDING OR ANY OTHER LIFE EVENTS, YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT <3 He puts a very special attention forth to each one of his individual customers. And his work is talent at it's BEST! On the "day of" just relax and don't worry about anything. He has it covered....

What a pleasure working with Slava! He was super flexible meeting with us initially and I can't thank him enough for our beautiful wedding photos. He prepares very in depth for his clients and makes himself aware of the venue and great photo op locations. In our conversations with him prior to the wedding it was very apparent he had done his research on our venue and knew when sunset would be so that we could make the most of our time with him. We also asked him last minute to add an additional hour because we decided to extend our wedding and he was super flexible. He also let us customize our own package a la carte and we never felt pushed to get something we didn't need. Slava was kind, courteous, and non intrusive on our big day. It is very apparent he loves what he does and it really comes through in the photos. We have photos that we never knew he even took because I had no idea he was standing there! He is a master at his craft. He also had our wedding photos ready the evening after our wedding which was so amazing! i would recommend him 100 times over. He has such a special style and personality. We are so happy we chose him.
