Dominique was an absolutely fantastic wedding photographer. She and her team were professional, kind, and very responsive throughout the entire process. They captured every special moment of our wedding and reception beautifully, along with many candid and meaningful scenes we’ll treasure forever. We also had Christian as our videographer, and he did an incredible job filming both our ceremony and reception—the final video turned out beautifully. We would 100% recommend them both.

We had an excellent experience with our wedding photographer. From the very beginning she was professional, warm, and incredibly talented. She captured the most beautiful moments of our day and the pictures turned out absolutely amazing. Every photo reflects the emotion and joy of the celebration, and we truly love them. We’re so grateful to have had her there to document such a special day. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer who is both talented and wonderful to work with.

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!

We absolutely LOVEEEEEED Georgette! She was the highlight of our little civil ceremony at the garden. She brought out the fun and laughter and definitely had a vision when framing her shots. She quoted us a price that was competitive with another photographer but her amazing photos spoke for themselves. On the day of the ceremony, she arrived early, too. If you are looking for a skilled photographer who delivers quality as well as creativity, Georgette is the best! We highly recommend her! 5 stars!!

We worked with Joey for our wedding, and he was truly wonderful! He showed up with so much kindness and enthusiasm that it felt like he was just as excited to capture our day as we were to live it. He connected so easily with us, our families, and our guests, and it shows in every photo! Joey didn’t just photograph the big moments. He caught the small ones too. Genuine interactions, laughter, and the energy of the day! We went to a second location after the ceremony, and he was completely flexible and creative, while still taking the time to listen to the shots we wanted. We love the posed photos, but the candid ones are our absolute favorites! We couldn’t be happier and highly recommend Joey for any photography needs!

Cannot recommend enough! Jilanne did our engagement photos, wedding day photos, and wedding videography. We are so in love with how everything turned out and got so many compliments from friends and family. Her photos turned out so well, the venue asked if they could post them on their website! Easy and fun to work with and always a timely turn around on final products. I can’t wait to work with Jilanne again on future photography and videography needs.

As the mother of the bride, I want to share my heartfelt appreciation for our wedding photographer, Lee, who exceeded every expectation during my daughter’s destination wedding. From the very beginning, he was attentive, professional, and fully committed — truly giving 200% every step of the way. Everyone loved interacting with him. He brought such a warm, positive energy that made our family and guests feel comfortable and excited to be part of the photos. His patience, kindness, and ability to connect with people made a noticeable difference throughout the day. Because this was a destination wedding, his savvy and thoughtful suggestions for exploring the area and finding the best spots for photos were invaluable. He knew exactly where to go, and his eye for scenery and lighting paid off in every single image. The combination of local charm and destination beauty made the photos absolutely stunning. He was also incredibly flexible with the different events, adapting smoothly to changes and keeping everything stress‑free. His creativity shone through not only in the main wedding locations, but also in the local places he recommended, which added a unique and personal touch to the final gallery. The photos are breathtaking — full of emotion, detail, and artistry. These are memories we will treasure forever. I wholeheartedly recommend him to any family planning a wedding, especially a destination celebration. His professionalism, creativity, and dedication made my daughter’s wedding even more magical.

Maxx Photography did an excellent job with the photos from our wedding. He was very professional and sent us the pictures faster than expected and they were beautiful. Would definitely recommend

Ms. Caroline is very professional. She took beautiful pictures, helped with arrangements/poses and took excellent candid shots.

Zaida is a consummate professional and an artist. The samples on her website are a very good representation of the quality provided. What you won’t know from the website is that she was also a real pleasure to have around! She’s friendly, has an easy laugh, and makes others comfortable. She’s flexible and creative when things don’t go as planned on the wedding day. She took time and care to make sure that she got a list of the shots we wanted to capture and understood who was important to us. For instance, I shared that I really wanted to get pictures with my niece and she captured some absolutely adorable shots that I will treasure forever! My husband has always been shy about taking photos, and I was very nervous about getting nice shots. Zaida gave the perfect amount of guidance – suggesting framing and approximate poses, but not overdirecting and allowing us to be comfortable with her. It worked really well. We have never had such lovely photos together! She was also totally game to do an unusual location for our engagement shoot, the air and space museum. She mentioned she loves photographing couples in locations that are special to them. You can tell that she really loves love, learning about couples and their stories, and being part of weddings. It was a pleasure to have Zaida be part of our wedding day. We received the photos back in less than two months and will treasure them forever.
