Lana was a fantastic photographer. She had great communication and the photos she took on our wedding day were lovely. She was very good at rolling with any changes that happened t...
he day of, and made the whole process as smooth as possible :)
We were very disappointed with our wedding photos. The photographer showed poor awareness of lighting, often relying on harsh flash that disrupted the natural feel of the event. Th...
ey are reminiscent of the old wind and shoot disposable cameras of the 90s.
Framing was a consistent issue — feet were cut off in several photos, and personalized and memorable decorative elements were left out entirely. This happened with most of the portraits done of family.
Most frustrating of all, some key moments weren’t captured at all, including any photos of us at the sweetheart table and our memory table. These are moments we expected to be obvious priorities. My wife had to ask for some of these types of pictures after we received the edits, and we did get some, although unedited.
Overall, the photos feel incomplete and unprofessional. We wouldn’t recommend this photographer to others. The pictures we received from guests using their phones were of better quality.
My wedding absolutely fell apart and she still showed up and got beautiful shots of my husband and I, me, my parents and she showed us locations in balboa park I had never see befo...

She is fast both on her feet and in her production process
She really got me through all the crisis
Lana was wonderful to work with! Her price point, service, and end product were of excellent quality and I would recommend her to anyone looking to capture their most special mile...
stone moments. She was very communicative from the beginning and VERY receptive to my ideas for photos/poses. Unfortunately we weren’t able to get as many photos as planned but Lana offered full transparency and resolution without me having to ask and we were still overall more than pleased with the photos we did capture. I couldn’t have asked for a better photographer for our wedding!
Lana was easy to work with and professional when coordinating the wedding plans. As soon as she arrived she immediately got to work snapping shots of my dress on a hangar while I w...
as getting ready. The lighting in our beach photos turned out great! Even better we got our photos back very quickly after the wedding! Highly recommend Lana as your photographer :)
Lana was amazing. Highly recommend. She was very responsive and coordinated with us in the weeks prior to the wedding to ensure we got exactly what we wanted on the wedding day. ...
During the big day, Lana was punctual, professional, and very skilled. She took gorgeous candids and group photos. After our wedding, she put together our wedding album in a seamless, easily shareable format. Highly recommend.
Svetlana is the best! First and foremost, we were extremely pleased with how the photos turned out. Not only did she take great photos, but she also took the time to edit all of t...
he photos that she sent us. Second, she was highly professional. She showed up 20 minutes early to scope out the area, and she stayed 15 minutes after to take some extra shots that she thought would be worthwhile, all free of charge. That brings me to my third and final point—her rates are very fair for the quality of work that she delivers. Overall, we cannot recommend her enough.
Lana's service was impeccable starting from communicating her vision and aligning it with ours to arriving within the agreed upon time window to being extremely professional during...
the shoot. There are no comments needed for her photos as each can see their superb quality even in the low res versions. As a cute side note, Lana took full advantage of the quick moment when our pet was in the frame acting curious but natural. All the photos are incredibly sweet and just priceless to us.
Lana was the best! She did our wedding and engagement photos. Both of which were spectacular. She caught all of the important moments and even a few more.

I can’t say enough how amazing Lana is! She did our wedding 2 weeks ago and she was the sweetest person ever. Super professional and did well at giving us commands on how to pose. ...
She took so many photos! Just got a few back from her and they look amazing! Can’t wait for the rest! Absolutely recommend her!
Lana was the sweetest!! Our wedding was in San Diego on La Jolla Shores beach. There was a hurricane in Baja Mexico which we ended up getting the tail end of. However, Lana was so ...
professional and made the best of the situation in the rain! She knew how to pick the most beautiful spots around us to capture the most amazing pictures! I couldn’t be more pleased! She’s an artist! She also gets back to me quickly when I had any questions or concerns! (:

Lana was absolutely fantastic to work with! My fiancée and I took a trip to San Diego and took engagement pictures there, and Lana was so accommodating! We had a few things that we...
wanted to include in our photoshoot, but we also needed some guidance from someone more experienced. Lana balanced our needs perfectly, and gave us so many incredible shots. The pictures are STUNNING, and we ordered canvases of them to put up in our home immediately. It was hard to pick just a couple favorites because there were so many that we loved to choose from! We would highly recommend Lana to anyone looking for a personable photographer who listens to and supports your needs while still producing incredible pictures. We couldn't be happier!
Wow! Lana took amazing pictures of our wedding. We are so happy about the work she did for us. She made everyone feel comfortable and it shows in the pictures. Lana was the right ...

that. She also made great suggestions for additional portrait shots, and was very creative with the rest of our photography! She worked quickly both while taking photos, and also in turning around our edited shots. We absolutely love her sense of color and composition. We 100% would hire her again for another event or portrait session!
