Stephanie Sent on 11/12/2024An Amazing Experience with Serge at Sokolov Photography!
We couldn't be happier with our choice of Serge at Sokolov Photography for our wedding in Bethesda on June 28th. Serge went above and beyond, capturing every moment of our day from start to finish. He was with us every step of the way, blending seamlessly into the background while documenting both the big moments and the small, candid details that made our day so special.
The final gallery—over 3,000 photos—was absolutely stunning! Each image was beautifully composed, full of emotion, and perfectly captured the essence of our wedding. Serge’s attention to detail, professionalism, and dedication were evident throughout the entire process. We are so grateful for the memories he preserved and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a talented photographer who truly goes the extra mile!Sokolov Photography's reply:
Stephanie, reading your review truly made my day! Being a part of your wedding was such a special experience for me, and I’m so happy that the photos captured everything you hoped for—those big moments and the smaller, intimate details that made your day uniquely yours.
Your trust in me means so much, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to preserve these memories for you. The fact that you now have over 3,000 photos to relive your beautiful day is something I’m so proud of! It was an absolute pleasure working with you both, and I’m so glad that you felt the care and attention I put into every shot.
Thank you for your kind words and your recommendation. Wishing you both endless love, laughter, and happiness as you begin this incredible journey together! -

Serge shot our engagement session and our wedding — and let me tell you, he’s the MOST amazing photographer you’ll ever come across. He really pours his heart into his work. Taking pictures is often times tedious and exhausting, but not with him. He is a ball of energy from start to finish- he pays so much attention to detail, and truly makes it a fun and wonderful experience. Not to mention his work looks incredible!!!Sokolov Photography's reply:

We're so glad we found Serge for our wedding day! He offered a few different package options to meet the needs of our small wedding, and he was super responsive & knowledgable as we discussed details ahead of the big day. Everyone at our wedding loved Serge! He was so fun to work with and got smiles out of everyone. He captured so many wonderful photos of our ceremony & reception, including our golden retriever and our rainy walk between venues!Sokolov Photography's reply:

Julia Sent on 07/18/2023Great photographer - awesome photos & fun to work with!
My husband and I had an amazing experience working with Serge during our wedding! We are extremely happy with the photos - both from the ceremony and photo session we had afterwards. Serge managed to capture very special moments of the day and make everyone look amazing. He is not only a talented photographer who gets the best possible angles and finds ways to work with people who are not good at posing in photos; he is also a wonderful person and fun to work with - full of energy, passionate about what he's doing and enthusiastic. I highly recommend Sokolov Photography for your special day or event - you will be very happy with the quality of the photos and 100% have fun!Sokolov Photography's reply:
My dearest Julia!!!!
Thank you so much for your kind words! It was an absolute pleasure capturing your special day. I'm thrilled to hear that you're happy with the photos and enjoyed the experience. Wishing you both all the happiness in the world! 📸🎉 - Serge -
![Raymond]()
Raymond Sent on 02/07/2022Best Photographer Ever!
Serge was the best photographer we could have asked for! We hired him based on his style; bold, artsy, fun, memorable. Not to mention his pricing was great value. He was a joy to work with since day one. We hired him to both our engagement photos and ultimately our wedding celebration. He has been very upbeAat and pleasurable to work with. We first hired him to do our engagement photoshoot in late 2019 and a planned wedding in May of 2020. The engagement photoshoot was amazing, excellent energy, very outgoing, involved our dog and our guests, went above and beyond, and the photos (so many of them) turned out amazing, exactly like his portfolio reflected and then some. Unfortunately due to COVID, our wedding was postponed 3 times over, from May 2020 to ultimately October 2021. Serge was highly accommodating and stick by us the entire time as if COVID never happened, never once did he say no through all of the unpredictability. The day of the wedding celebration was as perfect as one would hope - just a year and a half later than expected. Serge again went above and beyond, incredibly outgoing, having a blast, very involved. He even brought a second photographer per our request and was able to capture concurrent events happening in two places during the day. All of the guests raved about Serge and his assistant, they were well loved by everyone. They were not only there to work the special day, but they became part of the special day. 10/10 would recommend!! -

Brittany Sent on 02/01/2022Energetic and Creative!
Serge did our engagement photos and they turned out fantastic! He was wonderful to work with. Serge was so full of energy which definitely made the session more fun and relaxing. He has a great eye for working with the environment that is available to achieve interesting shots. I'm pretty sure that's his photography superpower.Sokolov Photography's reply:
Hi Brittany,
Thank you for your wonderful feedback! I'm delighted you loved the engagement photos. Your energy and the environment truly inspired the shots. If you ever need more creative moments captured, feel free to reach out. Best wishes on your journey ahead!
Warm regards,

Joseph Sent on 06/17/2019Fun, professional, affordable
We really enjoyed working with Serge Sokolov!
He met with us in person before we signed the contract to go over his offerings and help us understand what it might be like working with his company. We liked his portfolio and loved that all of the options came with full digital rights.
The day of the event he arrived on time and hit the ground running. He and his partner got along well with our guests and we enjoyed a number of the shots he pushed us on (I wasn't crazy about stuffing my face with cotton candy—but now I'm happy I did it).
We were really pleasantly surprised by his amazingly fast turnaround of our photos as well. It's not even a month and we have all of our photos back, ready to share with friends and fam.
I've already recommended Serge to others getting married in the near future. -
![Elizabeth]()
Elizabeth Sent on 03/21/2019Excellent choice
We worked with Serge last summer for the birthday photo shoot of my little brother, so right after the proposal, we booked him immediately for the wedding. And it was such a blast! Serge captured those tiny little moments of the day that we'd forget otherwise, and the pictures caught everyone's personality just perfect! He took remarkable candid photographs of us and our guests too, all while remaining unobtrusive, kind and really really fun - I would invite Serge for the wedding one more time only for his jokes and the way he made everyone laugh. So if you're looking for professionalism, amazing pics and fun - you found it. -
![Timothy]()
Timothy Sent on 03/15/2017Serge did a fantastic job capturing my 40th birthday party. He was quick to respond to my initial inquiry, we got a contract in place quickly, was extremely professional (and fun) during the event, and most importantly, delivered photos that exceeded my expectations. Shortly after the event, I received a link with a password to view all of my images and download them and paid via PayPal. I highly recommend Solokov Photography if you are in the market for someone to cover your event! -

User1324747 Sent on 02/01/2014Absolutely LOVE Sokolov Photography. Serge, Kate, and crew did a fantastic job and we are extremely pleased with them. Overall a wonderful experience and they are very patient, responsive, honest, creative, flexible, professional, and the list goes on. We first had an engagement photo shoot that was so fun! On our wedding day, they were with us from beginning to end and we enjoyed every minute of it. Our photos were properly edited and each one was perfect. Our album was beyond what we had expected!
I would not go anywhere else for photography!!! Thanks so much!

User1138228 Sent on 04/18/2013Words cannot express how happy I am that we were able to have Serge and Kate photograph our engagement and wedding. Their craftsmanship and quality of work is impeccable! I searched for a photographer for 6 months and none of them were as genuine and professional as Serge and Kate. When we received our engagement photos I knew right then that our wedding photos were going to be AMAZING. Hands down, Serge and Kate are the BEST wedding photographers and I will definitely recommend them to any bride or groom!!
