Sokolov Photography

We had a fantastic experience working with Serge. From the very beginning, he was incredibly friendly and made the entire process feel comfortable and natural.
He has an incredible eye for detail. Whether it was adjusting a pose or finding the perfect angle, he never missed a beat. Each shot felt thoughtfully composed and beautifully executed.

On top of that, his professionalism was outstanding. He was punctual, communicative, and clearly passionate about his craft. We ended being really late (thanks DC traffic 😒), but he remained professional and friendly. The entire session was well-organized, and the turnaround time on the photos was impressively quick.

I highly recommend Sokolov Photography to anyone looking for a photographer who combines technical skill with a personal touch. The results speak for themselves!

When my now-wife first sent me a link to Sokolov Photography's vendor page, I guess I wasn't sure what to expect - the photos looked amazing, but then again, so did pretty much every other wedding photo I've seen. It wasn't until our first call with Serge that I realized how important it is to have a photographer who ~gets your whole deal~. As a couple of weirdos more interested in skulls and blades than hearts and flowers, our goth wedding was about as nontraditional as it gets, so it was crucial that the photographer documenting the most important day of our lives was on the same page.

Well, we had absolutely nothing to worry about! We vibed with Serge pretty much immediately, and he completely understood what we were going for. Rather than do an engagement photoshoot we instead had him shoot the rehearsal dinner/Halloween party, and he absolutely killed it with dozens of amazing photos of everyone's costumes. On the day-of, Serge and his partner Aspen showed up ready to roll and despite being given little in the way of instructions, they already knew where to be and what to do. They did a fantastic job corralling our families for all the important shots (which was not easy, I had like 30 people on my side alone)

We got the first look photos in only a week, and even then we were already blown away - even the cover photo of the album captured me and my wife's vibe perfectly. The full photoset was nothing less than incredible and more than surpassed our expectations! Even though we were obviously the stars of the show, we really, really appreciated that they managed to get fantastic shots of pretty much every single one of the ~100 guests; we can't wait to include our favorites in the thank-you cards!

We truly could not have asked for better photographers - in addition to being total professionals, Serge and Aspen were also cool as hell and a delight to hang out with, and their enthusiasm really showed in the photos. You two are the absolute best, and we are eternally grateful for your hard work in capturing the most important day of our lives!

When we decided to do this photo shoot, we wanted that artist to show the world our love story and capture every moment and detail in each photo from the begining until the end. We are so grateful that we met Serge and had the ability/talent to bring that out of us into reality.

Our story begins with me and my wife meeting at the gym in a cycle studio for the first time years ago. The gym is our most sacret place for both of us. So we agreed to discuss our ideas to Serge. His reaction became very possitive, motivating which gave us the confident that we needed.
My wife is also a coffee lover and he suggested to take some pictures in a fancy coffee shot. It was hilarious and different but absolutely loved it!!
We also both love nature and like to spend time outdoors. He took us to a magical place that is relaxing and unforgettable.

We had a specific time of the day to perform our photo shoot, unfortunately, we were running late and my wife was very worried if we would have enough time to fit all our plans. At the same time Serge had other appointments after our photo shoot. He called to check on us to see if everything was as planned. We then explained the situation. Took it so calm and professionally that he understood what we were going through. This helped build back our confidence and encouraged us to continue as we talk about. Planning for a huge photshoot does take alot of time and energy to make it perfect. He explained that everything will be amazing but it wasn't amazing, it was EXTREMELY WONDERFUL AND BEYONG OUR EXPECTATIONS.
We shared our ideas with him and later brought everything we mention to reality. It was all detailed to perfection and nothing was left out. He's skills were organized neatly that it was breathtaking.

The experience we had was so much fun, exciting, and perfect that we can't stop talking about it and thanking Sokolov Photgraphy for everything they did for us. That's why we want to share this incredible experience with everyone.

Once again, thank you Serge for the time and effort you put into our pictures. It means so much to us. And we love every single on of them.

Working with Serge for our engagement photos was such a great experience. He instantly made us feel comfortable and relaxed, and his sense of humor made the session feel natural instead of posed. He has an incredible eye and gave just the right amount of direction while still letting us be ourselves. The entire shoot felt easy, fun, and genuinely enjoyable, and the photos reflect that. They’re candid, romantic, and beautifully captured. We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer to document such a special moment!

I truly had the most amazing experience with Serge. He is so incredibly talented and professional. He made the entire day feel effortless and fun. We were laughing the whole time, which meant no stiff poses or fake smiles; just real moments beautifully captured. He brought such great energy while still being calm, organized, and on top of everything. Our photos feel authentic, joyful, and exactly like us. I couldn’t recommend him more.

We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer than Serge for our wedding day! From the very beginning, he brought not just incredible talent, but a true passion for his craft. Serge connected with us as a couple and with each of our guests in such a warm and genuine way; making everyone feel comfortable, seen, and celebrated.

The photos turned out absolutely stunning — every single shot was thoughtfully captured and masterfully edited. The clarity, lighting, and composition were flawless, and it’s clear that each image was carefully selected with intention. He managed to tell the full story of our day through a perfect mix of candid and emotional moments, joyful interactions, and beautiful portraits.

His energy and presence added so much joy to the day, and we are beyond grateful to have these timeless memories to treasure forever.

If we could give more than five stars, we would in a heartbeat! Thank you, Serge, for turning our wedding into a masterpiece.

Serg is the ultimate professional. He did our engagement shoot and made us feel so comfortable throughout the entire process. He is personable, funny, and has a great artistic eye behind the camera. Would 10/10 recommend Serg for your photography needs!

Dear Serge,

Serge did a wonderful job of capturing our special day! We all loved working with him and he added extra love and light to our day!

We had the pleasure of working with Sergey for our wedding, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience! From the very beginning, he was not only professional but also incredibly friendly and personable, making us feel at ease throughout the entire day. The photos turned out absolutely gorgeous—each shot perfectly captured the essence of our special day. What impressed us most, though, was how quickly we received our photos! The turnaround time was incredibly fast, and the quality was beyond what we could have hoped for. We highly recommend Sokolov Photography to anyone looking for a talented, friendly, and efficient photographer!
