    So amazing

    Alyona did a fantastic job! I used her initially to capture our special moment when I proposed to my fiancée, once more for a session to create the invitations, and finally as the wedding photographer. Every experience surpassed the last. Her professionalism, ease to work with, an ability to answer questions that we didn’t even think to ask are unsurpassed. Not to mention her skill behind a camera is without compare. Don’t skimp on your special day. She is worth every cent and more!

    Authentic Joy and Priceless Memories

    Where to begin! Alyona has captured the most joy-filled moments of my and my husband's love story. It all started with a list on Pinterest of "must-dos" for my dream proposal. Of course there was "ask my dad for permission" and "make sure the people I love are present", but there was also, "make sure the proposal is photographed". My husband, Adam, worked out all the details with Alyona in order to capture the proposal on Shem Creek at sunset. The photos were absolutely stunning! After seeing them, we knew we would only trust Alyona to do our engagement and wedding photos. Alyona always went out of her way to ensure every detail was taken care of. She even arrived early to our shoots to find the locations with the best lighting and backdrop. She made Adam and I feel comfortable and at ease during the sessions. The photos reflected that authenticity. My favorite part of Alyona's photography is her ability to capture pure joy. We will forever be in Alyona's debt because of the priceless memories she helped to preserve, especially the special moments at our wedding. Anyone who hires Alyona will receive more than their money's worth. She has a lifetime customer and our highest recommendation.

    Perfectly captured the moment- so many beautiful spontaneous photos

    My review is coming super late! Over a year late! But please do not let my delay reflect in the quality of Alyona’s work. She is amazing! An absolute professional and so warm, kind, & thoughtful. Our photos turned out just stunning! The reason my review has come so late is I am finally getting my wedding album together & realizing just how incredibly fortunate we are to have so many amazing photos. She actually took so many truly great photos, & perfectly captured so many great moments that I had to special order more pages to fit in our wedding album to fit them all in. Seeing all the photos again over a year later has reminded me of just how much that day meant to us & I cannot say enough how beautifully Alyona captured it.

    Alyona does a fantastic job! I would recommend her for more than just wedding pictures and we plan on using her for other types of photo shoots in the future! She makes the whole process very enjoyable and the quality of the pictures is amazing!

    I don't even know where to begin on the amazing things to say about Alyona! She is the sweetest person, responds so quickly to emails, and is easy to work with. I sent a list of pictures I wanted (with family, friends, etc) and she made sure to get all those pictures taken. Throughout our wedding day, she took so many pictures but was never intrusive or in the way. She captured great candid moments that help us remember our wedding day and how special it was. Also, Alyona gave us the option of having 2 photographers for the day which was great for capturing even more special moments. A couple days after our wedding she sent us some "sneak peek" pictures which were GORGEOUS! Then, a few weeks later we got to see our online gallery of pictures. We had over 1,500 pictures from the day and there was not a single one I did not love! She also sent us a USB with our pictures on it. Alyona truly captured the best moments of our day, and gave us beautiful family photos that we will cherish forever! If you need a photographer for your wedding, you absolutely need to contact Alyona! She is spectacular!

    I live in Charlotte, NC - about 3.5 hours outside of Charleston. My fiance and I had decided to take a weekend getaway to Charleston and decided at the last minute to get an additional set of engagement photos taken! (We had already hired a local Charlotte photographer for our wedding). Alyona was one of the first Charleston photographers we reached out to and we're so happy she was able to work us in for an engagement session! She was very nice and made us feel comfortable and helped guide us to get BEAUTIFUL photos! We LOVED the photos she took of us. We ended up using her photos to create our wedding guest book. In hindsight, I wish I had terminated my contract with my other photographer and asked Alyona to come to Charlotte to photograph our wedding! She's THAT good!

    Alyona Photography's reply:

    Michelle what an absolutely sweet review!! Thanks so much! :)

    Alyona was perfect from beginning to end. Her package and presentation really impressed us at first. Then she took our pictures and we were stunned, floored, ecstatic...I can't really describe how happy we were with the final shots.

    My review is really long overdue because her work was phenomenal. She was even great making sure that our crazy family stayed on course. Her shot choices were great. She is excellent.

    Thanks so much Nate!

    We had a destination wedding and planned our wedding from out of state. Alyona was very accessible and responsive throughout the planning process -- by email, phone, and text.

    She is very accommodating and has a gentle and kind style. While she was very present throughout our rehearsal dinner/wedding and took many candids, she was not intrusive.

    We also appreciated that she posted a few "sneak peek" photos of the wedding immediately on Facebook. Everyone was anxious to see some photos -- and we were pleased to be able to share a few with guests and people who didn't attend the wedding so soon after the wedding!!

    Alyona is an amazing photographer. We got married in Murrells Inlet and she came up from Charleston to photograph it. We used her for our engagement pictures which made the wedding much more relaxed since it felt like we knew her when we saw her again for the wedding. She arrived on time and didn't make it feel rushed when it was time to leave (this is not a skill all people have). I haven't seen all the photos yet but her sneak peak photos were amazing (as were our engagement photos). Check out her website for all of her absolutely beautiful photos if you aren't sure of her work. That's what I used when I decided I wanted to work with her. She is super friendly but also professional at the same time.

    We had a beach wedding and apparently there were TONS of bugs all around the bamboo arbor set up at the beach. Alyona had bug spray in her car and got rid of them before we got down there for the ceremony and we didn't notice a thing. The reason I mention this is that it shows what kind of person she is - aside from being an amazing photographer.

    I wish we lived near her because we would get any life event photographed by her. Anyone who lives in the area she travels to would be crazy for not using her. Photos are usually the only memory you get from your wedding day so I'm really happy we used someone who captured it beautifully.

    Alyona is a lovely and bright person and photographer. She is artistic without being too "artsy", and she is super fun without being weird. She's structured enough to keep the most wandering bridesmaids/groomsmen/siblings in line, but she's flexible enough to ensure your experience with her feels tailored and creative. She is professional, responsive, and timely. She totally rocks, and we'd recommend her again and again.

    Alyona was the perfect photographer for my husband and I. She takes the most beautiful, natural pictures and captures all the priceless moments you'll never forget! Alyona is super professional but down to earth and incredibly flexible.
    We definitely did our research on photographers in Charleston before choosing her, and she is hands down the best photographer here. Choose Alyona Photography, you will be incredibly pleased with the results!

    Alyona was great to work with throughout our entire wedding photography process. She was very organized and professional with her invoicing, and responsive to any questions I emailed her. She is a very sweet person and I truly felt she cared about getting the best shots for us. I can't wait to see all the final shots but what I have seen so far is beautiful!

    Alyona was very accommodating and responsive. As a photographer, she was with us the entire day; from early in the morning as the wedding party was getting ready to the last moments of the reception and through the entire day captured wonderful moments with the lens. Further, I contacted Alyona a year afterward to help with the wedding album and she was, again, very accommodating and creative in designing the layout and always welcomed by feedback and incorporated it as requested. She is a true professional and a pleasure to work with.
