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., -

Wendy Sent on 09/10/2018Slava 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!!! -

User1144950 Sent on 04/26/2013Slava was a great photographer! I am so happy we went with him. We searched and searched and as soon as we saw his portfolios, we knew he was the one. He made us feel comfortable and made it fun. He made sure every detail was covered and nothing was out of place. He was very flexible and made it easy for us to reschedule things. It was like we were his only client and he really made us feel like we were always first. He is very quick to respond and you can ask him anything and he will make sure he answers you as soon as possible. He also makes sure that you understand him and he understands you; there is nothing that is hidden or assumed on either part. We got a great package and wouldn't have had it any other way. We wanted to have memories of the engagement, bridals, and the wedding and we were able to do that with one of his packages with a reasonable price. You don't want to skimp on great memories and photos of your special day. I couldn't have asked for a better photographer. He is willing and open for suggestions, so it is not just his way or no way. We laughed and had a good time and it's sad that it's all over. I would love to have other photo shoots with Slava. Thank you so much Slava from the bottom of our hearts!!! ~ -

Michelle Sent on 05/13/2012Slava is awesome!~!! he is so professional and such a great photographer. He really knows how to catch some awesome shots and make the bride look great! :) He is also really great because he's discrete. He's not like other photographers that are almost obnoxiously visible....he was always there taking pictures but blended in well. He got shots of things that I didn't even know he was around for! Also, it's been less than 24 hours since our wedding and the pictures are already up! He is fast and timely with his work. My whole family has been raving about their experience with him!!! I am so happy I chose Slava!!! I also feel you get a really great product for the price!
I also used his Hoot Booth. So great!!! The photo booth is big enough for 10 people, has good quality pictures and prints quickly. Also the props are awesome! You can also see the photos between shots so as to fix your positive. It has a countdown until the picture is taken and it is actually accurate! Best photo booth props I've ever seen! Mustaches on sticks, chalkboards, signs, hats, boas, big glasses, ect! Also included in the price is a photobooth scrapbook, two copies of each print, gluesticks to put one copy in the scrapbook, magnets for people to put on the back of their prints and they sanitize all of the props between pictures. Great service for a great price!!! -

Rebecca Sent on 02/21/2012Top quality. Excellent value. He knew what he was doing. Did a beautiful engagement shoot. This is one of the most important parts of the experience and the longest lasting, so he did a great job. Also, Slava was the perfect gentleman throughout. You could tell he loves his work. -
Angelique Sent on 04/22/2018Without 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.

Dannika Sent on 12/11/2017I 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!

Brenda Sent on 12/11/2017You 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!! -
