igner, I know what good work looks like, working in an industry using provided photography. Their photos are fresh, timeless, and is tailored to each couple. We had the pleasure of working with Mariya. She is super professional, and a great director. We met up with her 7 months prior to our wedding, and she was extremely flexible with the pricing and packages that they offered. The day of, she photographed the groom/groomsmen first, and then traveled back to me, the bride, and my bridesmaids. We then took outdoor photos near our venue, which Mariya had suggested. It was beautiful. Mariya stayed all night, as according to the contract. Most of all, what we really appreciated, was her willingness to stay a little later, due to our schedule running behind. The photos took about 4 weeks to process, and they were well worth the wait. The editing is very well done, you and your loved ones will look like themselves (not over edited or over airbrushed.) I would definitely contact Artbelka again for future events.
