Photos we will cherish forever!
Slavik was the best choice we made for our wedding day. Sounds dramatic, but truly, he was the only choice from our original wedding that remained from start to finish. We had an engagement shoot with Slavik in Sacramento right before the worst of COVID began and immediately knew we made the best decision choosing him to photograph our San Francisco wedding. My husband and I made plans, postponed, canceled, made plans again, canceled that, and finally landed on a small family wedding in Texas after many changes. The one thing we knew we wanted regardless of everything else changing, was Slavik! Slavik was easy to communicate with, very flexible as plans changed, and was even willing to be flown out to Texas for our big day! The photos we received are truly amazing. He was able to capture so many special moments for us, and the posed family photos and the many candid shots are all incredible. I can't say enough how grateful we are to Slavik for all of his help, kindness, and of course wonderful capturing of our special day.Slavik was the best choice we made for our wedding day.

Amazing Photographer!!!
We met Slavik through our church, and he happily agreed to photograph our wedding day. We are so happy with the photos that he took, and he made us feel very comfortable in front of the camera!We met Slavik through our church, and he happily agreed to photograph our wedding day.

Beyond gorgeous photos
I cannot thank Slavik enough for his amazing service the day of and weeks before my wedding. With COVID going on our photographer company we originally had paid for backed out and canceled on us a few weeks before our wedding. I went on Wedding wire and found that Slavik was a local photographer here in sacramento and fell in love with his style and vibe of photography. Luckily he was available when I reached out. He was so flexible and was able to create a personalized package for us. I always feel so awkward getting my pictures taken, but he made me feel so comfortable. My photos came out so amazing that when he showed me a few shots he got of me getting ready and I broke down in tears. I never thought a photo of myself would make me cry like that. I sincerely am so appreciative of his hard work and pure talent. He also got all
Of our photos edited and back to us within just a few weeks. I am so beyond happy with the results. I Will definitely be reaching out to him for any future needs for photography.I cannot thank Slavik enough for his amazing service the day of and weeks before my wedding.

Highly recommend!
Slavik was absolutely amazing! We had to postpone our wedding twice- once due to COVID and the second due to the Yosemite wildfires. Slavik was extremely accommodating and helpful, I can't thank him enough. The day of the wedding, Slavik made my husband and I feel so comfortable in front of the camera (we hate taking photos!); we felt like he was already a long time friend even though it was our first time meeting face to face. Even my wedding guests were telling me how much they liked him. His work was stunning; I cried tears of happiness when we got our photos. It was exactly what I wanted. I highly recommend Slavik for any occasion!Slavik was absolutely amazing! We had to postpone our wedding twice- once due to COVID and the second due to the Yosemite wildfires.

Amazing photographer!
I’m so glad we chose Slavik to capture our wedding day! He was kind, professional, and went above and beyond to make sure our day was special. My husband and I love our pictures and everything Slavik was able to capture from little wedding details to friends and family and behind the scenes.I’m so glad we chose Slavik to capture our wedding day!

Engagement Photos
Our Engagement photos with Slavik were amazing ! I’ve always dreamed of taking Engagement photos on the beach , and he made it come true. We live in Sacramento and he was able to travel to San Francisco at no extra cost. Due to traffic we were about 1.5 hours late , but Slavik was very understanding. Me and my fiancé were nervous , because we’ve never had our pictures taken professionally but Slavik made it a fun experience. We hiked up some hills and even took pictures on a rock in the ocean. The turn around was quick and we got sneak peak pictures within 2 days . The quality of the pictures are phenomenal! Every time I look at our engagement photos , I get so happy because Slavik really captured our relationship in such a great light.Our Engagement photos with Slavik were amazing !

Slavik Yasinsky Did a great job! Not once were we stressed out about the creativity and content of our photos. He is the type of photographer that is easy to trust and comes up with his own creative ideas on how to make something look absolutely flawless from all angles. With that said, if there was a specific idea we had in mind, he was able to help ya recreate it without a problem. Slavik took our engagement and wedding pictures, and we couldn’t be happier with the results!Slavik Yasinsky Did a great job!

This guy is literally so amazing! We were afraid that as newly married it would be awkward to take pictures. But it was so fun, Slavik knew how to make us look flawless, even when I gained a few pounds for our after wedding shots haha. Seriously really easy going to work with, and the quality of the pictures? AMAZING!This guy is literally so amazing! We were afraid that as newly married it would be awkward to take pictures.

Absolutely Worth It
Looking through photographer's portfolios, I was looking for someone who had a clear vision and style for how they capture weddings. Slavik's stood out, particularly in his ability to capture great portraits of his subjects. Throughout the process, Slavik was extremely flexible and communicative about what we were looking for from our wedding, and was able to reflect those sort of candid shots in what he sent to us. I'll echo Benjamin's review in that we could have used a little more clear guidance from him during our engagement shoot, but the photographs still turned out fantastic. His work from our wedding was excellent, and will be a joy to have with us for a lifetime.Looking through photographer's portfolios, I was looking for someone who had a clear vision and style for how they capture weddings.

Wedding Photography
Slav did an amazing job with our wedding photos. With so many changes to our wedding every week he was so accommodating through all of it!
On our wedding day he truly helped me calm down before our ceremony because he would make sure I was breathing while taking photos before the ceremony started. Which was relieving and exactly what I needed to calm my nerves.
I also have to say our photos turned out absolutely beautiful and I can’t stop looking at them!Slav did an amazing job with our wedding photos. With so many changes to our wedding every week he was so accommodating through all of it!

Excellent Photographer!
If you are looking for a photographer for your engagement or wedding, consider Slavik! He shot beautiful engagement and wedding photos for us. We had a Chinese tea ceremony, church ceremony, and large Chinese reception with 300+ guests so there was a lot of ground to cover, but Slavik and his assistant worked diligently throughout the day to capture all that we wanted to cover. He even helped our friends take photos on their phones. Slavik is very skilled, detail-oriented, artistic, patient, humble, personable, and flexible to work with. He made us feel relaxed by reminding us to breathe and showed us which poses to do so we can look our best. We were looking for specific settings/themes (e.g., vineyard) and shots (e.g., individual/couple/large crowd shots, posing/candid) and he did all of that! He delivered the photos in a simple and straightforward manner and had a competitive package deal. We were very satisfied with all the photos and highly recommend him for your special event!If you are looking for a photographer for your engagement or wedding, consider Slavik!

Slavik did an amazing job!!!! My husband and and I did a lot of hunting around for our wedding photographer and really liked his sample photos and his pricing was reasonable compared to other photographers of similar quality. He did an amazing job with our engagement photos (especially considering my husband and I have never had professional photos taken). And our wedding photos were even better. AND he did a great job without adding any stress to an already crazy day! I would definitely recommend him to any bride and groom!

Slavik captured our wedding in a nice and creative way. He is an eager young professional, taking time to talk through your schedule to be ready to capture all the important moments and adapting to your personal wishes (we asked for a lot of candid pictures which we got). When I think about improvements, the only thing which crosses my mind would be to ask him to take over control of organizing family pictures, just so you have it out of your mind and also to give some creative input for poses. Overall, I was very satisfied with him, he was easy to talk to and I can recommend booking him for your wedding.Slavik captured our wedding in a nice and creative way.
