Alevtina Photography

s in 3 weeks from the wedding! All day coverage with two photographers in a reasonable price for priceless photos and customer service! Timely response to quotes and emails, willing to meet to go over day of details.

included a 300 photo coffee table album, which we love. She was professional and good at giving direction to my large wedding party, and incredibly committed to getting "the shot" (she balanced on a window sill for one and climbed a tree for another). Alena was very good at capturing the candid getting ready photos, as well as the live dancing photos, which can be difficult at a Greek wedding. She made sure to check-in with me before leaving the reception and stayed for one more song after I told her something special would be happening. I highly recommend Alena for your special day!

ir work on their website and they were the only pictures to make my mother cry without even knowing the couples in the picture. Alena and her husband were so accommodating with location recommendations, payments, timeline changes, and our large group the day of. What I loved the most was that they spent the ENTIRE day with us. From the start of getting ready at 8am to almost 10:30pm during the reception. They are fantastic to work with and I can't wait for our pictures to come back soon!

yond what my wife and I had ever expected. Her and her husband, Don, were fantastic throughout the entire day. Taking so many pictures in a relatively short amount of time could easily feel like a chore, but we had a great time with them during the process, and they made it fun. They accommodated every request that we had, and had us take some shots that we never even had in mind as well! You will not be disappointed if you hire this couple to document the big day! We could not be happier with our decision to go with Alevtina Photography!

ures are everything we could have asked for and more! She captured our style and kept us on track to ensure we went to all the spots we wanted pictures at- most importantly, she captured the joy and love of the day! We're so happy we chose Alevtina Photography!!

ments with my husband and our loved ones. Her price point is unreal for getting two talented photographers for as long as you want. It really removes the stress of determining an hourly package and missing some good stuff. Alena had a lot of creative ideas for poses and guided my wedding party around with the perfect balance of low key and assertive. She clearly has great pride in her work and gives each wedding her all! I can't wait to get all the photos back! Extremely highly recommended!

gement photos and our wedding day with her and her husband. She has an eye for cool lighting and is flexible with times, she definitely wants everything to look perfect for you!

ful shots. They are dedicated to capturing every moment and all the beauty of your special day or session. They are flexible and willing to put in the extra time and effort to make sure you get the shots both candid and posed; they knew exactly what we were looking for! Alena was very easy to get ahold of and very timely with communicating via phone or email. They take THOUSANDS of shots to ensure you get the VERY BEST of your day. We were extremely happy with both the engagement and wedding photos and got numerous compliments. They have a special way of shooting light and gaining the best and most visually appealing and amazing perspectives. They are very affordable, they have many packages to choose from with a variety of customizable options, and provide beautiful, quality work. An absolute please to work with, we would HIGHLY recommend.

elivered beautiful results by the promised deadlines ever since the wedding day. We recommend she photograph your wedding or any other event you want to remember in the best light.

otos turned out more incredible than we could have imagined! And now we are lucky enough to see them a couple times a year because most of our friends have chosen to work with them after our experience!

for photographer shows through her work without fail. She spent the entire day with us capturing all of our special moments and laughing and enjoying the day with us. Her and her husband Don make a great team! Alena is extremely organized, and that put a lot of my worries for the day at ease. You will not be disappointed with her work!! Thank you Alena & Don!

respond and reasonable prices for the package we chose. Highly recommend!

na really seems to have a natural talent and it showed in our photos. She will do anything she can to get the right lighting or angle, even if it means climbing on a post with a steep cliff behind it! We've gotten so many compliments on our engagement photos, I couldn't be happier and cannot wait to share our wedding day pictures with everyone. We also appreciated that they took the time to work around our busy, non-traditional schedules. They were very personable and easy to work with and made our engagement session a lot of fun and captured our wedding day perfectly. We will recommend them to everyone we know! Thanks again, Alena and Don! Eric & Lis

easy going and make you feel very comfortable. I was very happy we did the engagement session as it helped us all get to know each other and prepared us for how the big day would go. Alena was wonderful and let us split our engagement session into two sessions as we had picked a very cold day to go downtown! Alena and Don were with us all day for our wedding, from the moment we started getting ready until late in the night. When I first saw our wedding photos I instantly teared up, Alena and Don captured our day and our emotions perfectly. THANK YOU ALENA AND DON!!!! Alyse & Cory

ou expectations. You will not be disappointed.

ing for. Alena and Don were very easy to get along with and were both good at keeping things relaxed and comfortable the day of the wedding. We had a Greek/Russian Orthodox wedding and reception, and Alena and Don were able to document all of the cultural aspects beautifully. The candid shots were especially great and really captured the emotions of the day! Alevtina’s pricing was very reasonable, especially for the outstanding quality of the end results. If you’re looking for a pair of great photographers who are not only professional, but also wonderful people, then we highly recommend going with Alevtina Photography! --Katya and Yianni

friendliness, quick response time, and creativity. Her work is STUNNING and she far exceeded our expectations. They captured every detail and really went the extra mile. Don and Alena have a great way of making you feel relaxed and comfortable to help bring out those more natural poses too! This dynamic duo is exceptional and I highly recommend them!

and the duo of Alena and Don, will exceed all expectations. We are so happy that we chose Alevtina for our daughter's wedding. We knew from our first meeting with Alena, that she would be easy to work with. She was sure to get as much information about our "must have" photos and assured us that every part of the Big Day would be captured.....and she sure delivered. She and Don started out bright and early, at 2 different locations, as the guys and gals made their way through the morning preparations. A mix of casual/candid, artistic and traditional photos were taken. At church, they made sure to get all the key moments! Our noon wedding ceremony ran over and we had to get out of church before the next group came in. Alena handily and quickly organized all the various family/group photos--what a breeze! Then they were off to 3 different locations for more bridal party photos. Both the indoor and the outdoor photos were incredible! I can't believe how beautiful they turned out. Amazing! I don't know where Alena and Don get their energy, but they remained enthusiastic and tireless through the entire reception until midnite! I really can't say enough about them. What a fantastic experience! We are thrilled that Alevtina Photography was a part of our daughter's wedding. Thank you so much Alena and Don!

experience. They are true professionals in what they do. They went above and beyond our expectations and received nothing but great comments on our pictures.

ver seen a photographer work so hard!". Whenever anyone wanted a picture, they were there, all over the dance floor. We also had 26 in our bridal party and she handled them with such an amazing attitude! We NEVER ran late the entire night all because of her and her husband. She also gives great advice for your wedding day and makes you feel even more special. She has so much knowledge and if she didn't like a photo, she doesn't settle..she makes sure YOU look great in every picture. We got married a little over 2 months ago and we have gotten a few back, but I appreciate that because she is editing all of them for us. She is AMAZING, fun and most importantly trustworthy. You want someone you can trust to take your pictures, that is the only memory you have left at the end of the day!

ations. Leading up to the wedding, I shared a pintrest album with her of some cute shots I would like to try (all of which came out amazing, by the way!). Prior to the wedding, Alena drove out over an hour to see my venue, since she had never been there before. She also accompanied me to a nearby park in which I hoped to take pictures so that she could get a feel for good locations there, as well. Communication was fantastic; I have never sent Alena an email that went unanswered for more than 12 hours (due to a wedding). On the day of our wedding, Alena and Don were on time, more than professional, and extremely thorough. They documented our entire day, and they also got so many cherished candid shots. Alena and Don did not miss a thing. At one point, Alena was in a bee-infested bush taking pictures of us so that she could get an artistic shot! The next minute, she was climbing over our cake table to have the right angle on our cake-cutting. We received over 900 EDITED images three months later, and we have been completely blown away by them. Alena was realistic with her time frame for editing, and her attention to detail shows. I love that we own the rights to our pictures, and can have them printed for gifts and for our families. I truly can't say enough good things about Alevtina photography. You will not be disappointed if you choose them!!

lso great people and made us feel so at ease while taking our photos. They went above and beyond my expectations. The attention to detail and quality of the pictures they took is truly remarkable. If you still need to book a photographer, look no further. I would recommend Alevtina Photography without any reservations.

d absolutely amazing to work with on the day of the wedding. Alena was with me from 8am all the way through the end of the reception at 11pm. Our photos turned out so beautiful and both the coffee table book and album we ordered are gorgeous. The album especially is very well made and will certainly stand the test of time. Other than the amazing quality of our photos, the price was also great, especially for all that she includes. Alevtina was my favorite vendor by far and I have since recommended them to several friends and family members, all of whom have been just as pleased as we were.

s. We have already received some photos to make our thank you cards and I can't wait to see the rest of them! I can't thank them enough for being a part of our special day. They're the best!

graphs was a little longer than I would have hoped, but Alena gave us realistic expectations from the start and when we got our photos, they were well worth the wait! As an out-of-town bride, I very much appreciated Alena's attention to detail and her dedication to communication (every email I sent was answered very promptly!). I would definitely recommend Alevtina Photography to my family and friends.

ures are AMAZING! My husband and I have been in many weddings and Alena and her husband by far are the best! Their price is very reasonable for the quality and the work they produce. I would highly recommend! Thank you again!!!!

and wedding day photos. The photos are crisp, clear, detail oriented and look like they belong in a magazine. There is not one shot out of 1,100 that my husband and I dislike. The compliments we have received on their professionalism and hard work on our wedding day, as well as the photos themselves, have all been outstanding. Alena and Don were energetic, stuck to the list of photos we asked for, followed a photo board I had pinned on Pinterest, and did not forget about or miss any of the shots we recommended. They were on time to our engagement photo shoot and wedding events. She responds almost immediately to email and texts with questions and is efficient in being sure to get photo book and jump drive delivered to bride and groom. She also met the deadline date that she set for when photos would be ready for viewing. Pricing is right where I would expect it to be and well worth every penny. Alena and her husband, Don, spent about 13 hours with us on our wedding day, countless hours editing, time spent communicating with me and my husband, and creation of the photo book. . . that is a lot of time on one event and the effort and dedication to it has certainly shown. I would recommend Alvetina Photography for your wedding, family event, photo shoot, engagement session, or any photography needs. We had a lot of fun with them and hope to use them in the future.

band and I immediately felt that her extreme professionalism mixed with her fun personality would go above and beyond what we had hoped for for our wedding experience and photo memories. She was a pleasure to work with during our engagement photos and had great suggestions of places to go to capture the best setting. Alena and her husband were amazingly engaged during the entire day of our wedding;she even scolded me for not telling her to come earlier than 9am in the morning to capture photos of my hair and make up. They stayed glued to my husband and I the entire reception but we can only tell because of how many great pictures they took; they were NEVER in the way of any of our special moments. All of our engagement and wedding photos were stunning and captured our day flawlessly. So many wedding guests commented on how nice she was and how discreetly she and her husband moved around the ceremony and reception to avoid disturbing others. Anyone who wants amazing memories of their wedding should ABSOLUTELY book their photography with Alena. We would recommend her to anyone looking for a stress-free, amazing and truly memorable wedding photo experience. I wish I had another reason to use her as my photographer because she was THAT GREAT!! (Alena...so sorry this is such a belated review).

highly recommend!!!

could not have asked for a better photographer! For our wedding day, we had 2 deal breakers; we wanted 2 photographers and someone who would be there all day, however it can get quite pricey as most photographers will charge for "extra hours" after 8 hours of time and charge for a second photographer. Both of these things were included in all packages with Alevtina Photography; her husband and her both shoot the wedding day and will be present from the second you start getting ready to the end of the reception. And all without costing an arm and a leg. Her photos are truly extraordinary! It is hard to explain how great they are in words; you need to just go look for yourself! I have recommended her to everyone I know!

aphers, talking with nearly all that the Knot has to offer, as well as others still. While there were many that were great, none compared to Alevtina. Not only does she produce incredible, authentic, and gorgeous photos, she's also a joy to work with and has reasonable prices for a quality above even the highest end photographers on the price scale. She has a clear vision and knows what to do, but is also open to working with you to realize your vision for the special day if you have any photography preferences or photos you "need to have." Alena's husband is her co-photographer and he likewise is great and the two make a fantastic team. They did our wedding photography, but included in that package was our engagement shoot, which they also knocked out of the park. It's great to have an album of engagement photos and wedding photos that match. Although we've only worked in person with Alena a few times, as would be expected with wedding photos, she is so awesome and fun to be around that we consider her a friend. Cannot heap enough praise on Alevtina Photography and trust me: we are very picky and selective when it comes to photos (and photographers). Beautiful, affordable, and distinct photos with a great team.

d wedding day (May 2015). Best decision ever!! For our wedding, we chose to hire her and her husband Don as both photographers for unlimited photos for the whole day. Yep, she met me at the salon at 9am and they didn't leave the venue until after 9pm! Doing our engagement shoot with them was so great because we got to meet them ahead of time. They both are extremely nice, respectful, and make you feel super comfortable! Alena gives great direction but also allows you to "be yourself". On the wedding day, Alena went above and beyond her photographer "duties". She helped us with our venue items, was always fixing my dress, etc. while still being extremely professional. It was great to have both her and Don as photographers. Since my husband and I were not having a First Look, Alena was able to take all of our ladies photos beforehand, while Don took care of the guys. They are very prompt and ON TIME with everything...we got all our family shots, bridal party, and bride/groom shots done in an hour! She listened to every request I had and was able to do all the photos I wanted plus she used her creativity and magic for the rest :) For the ceremony & reception, they were both very discreet while still getting every single shot from multiple angles. I LOVE her style...it is very classic and elegant with just enough artistic flair. The photos are professional but don't have that airbrushed/photoshopped look at all. I wanted to have the traditional photos, but also some creative shots that are unique and fun. She is tuly the best of both worlds!! Her prices are very reasonable for the time and effort that she and Don spend on the event plus all the photos. It was only 7 weeks after a wedding when she sent us a Sneak Peek of our photos. The rest will be ready in a few weeks, not MONTHS like I've heard others take! I highly recommend Alena and Alevtina Photography. Hands down, they are truly amazing artists! Not only are they great photographers, they are just so great to work with, respectful and very professional.

photos, and are so excited to get our albums as keepsakes. Highly recommend!

se every time there was a single pose being shot, she probably captured about 1000 photos at a time. It’s her and husband the travel with you all day and go wherever you want. She met us at the salon, her husband met the boys at the hotel while they got ready, she came to my parents in between the salon and the church and they were with us until about 10:30 pm. She has a vision and she strives to capture the most precious moments with her camera. She is incredibly talented and super affordable!!

light savings time started. She offered us an additional engagement session in the spring due to the limited time we had before sunset. She went above and beyond. The albums turned out great. It took a while to get our digital photos, however, she is very busy and we were willing to wait for her high quality work. Great experience and very happy!

rtlessly captured the happiness, tenderness, and joy of the day. Her style was easy going- not at all pushy or bossy during the posed photos, and her timing and framing were incredible. We have so many excellent photos to chose from to hang on the walls of our home and share with friends and family. The photo packages she offered were great, and a coffee table book is included with even the smallest photo package. I had not seen this from many other photographers. Absolutely no complaints at all- and my friends in Ohio are already sharing her contact information with their friends getting married.

what she does and it shows in her work. On top of her ability to take the most beautiful photos she is an absolute pleasure to work with. She is fun, kind and very conscious of what kind of pictures you want her to take. I would recommend her over and over again. She did both my engagement photos and wedding. I get compliments on them daily. Kudos to Alena!!

rty time. Her husband captured my groom, his family and groomsmen the morning of and I can't wait to see those pictures. She put up with a lot from our rowdy wedding party and was such a good sport. While I can't wait to see the pictures I have no worries about how they will be – she is just that good.

engagement photos and wedding photos! Alena met my husband and I at a location convenient for us for all meetings we had. We did engagement photos with her and were amazed at how wonderful the photos came out that we couldn't wait to see what our wedding photos would look like. For the day of the wedding, her husband, Don, is able to capture the groom and other guys getting ready while Alena does the bride and bridesmaids. Both Alena and Don are so easy to work with, fun, energetic, and definitely know what they are doing. Leading up to the wedding, Alena was easy to communicate with and always quick to respond via e-mail and phone. I highly recommend Alevtina Photography for wedding photography.

de sure to capture every moment. I had people mention how great of a job she did at the wedding and you can just tell she loves her job. She was very fast with getting previews up on her blog and the photos were ready a lot sooner than I expected. A friend of mine who had a different photographer said hers could take a year in a half! I felt so comfortable with Alena. she was very sweet but also great about giving direction to our crazy wedding party. I would recommend her to anyone in a heart beat!

husiasm for the pictures she’s taking and the people she’s working with. Since you spend your entire wedding day with your photographer – from the salon to dancing into the night – it was important for me to find someone I genuinely got along with. Alena proved to be exactly what I was looking for. Alena was determined to capture every moment, everywhere, every time with the best possible angle, lighting and beauty. To help ensure she didn't miss a thing, she and her husband work as a team. With her husband taking pictures of the men getting ready and Alena spending time with me and my girls at the salon, they captured moments we would have otherwise never seen of that day. At the ceremony, as she waited at the end of the aisle capturing my future husband’s expressions, her husband caught the moments with me and my dad behind closed doors waiting for our walk down the aisle. There are very few words that can describe the finished photos beyond breathtaking and stunning. Alena’s talent for capturing a moment and creating a piece of art is incredible. The number of gasps and surprises that came as we went through our photos is countless and there’s no doubt the final product is a direct result of Alena’s invested interest in you. There is no question; Alena will make any bride and groom’s day special and memorable for a lifetime.
