AZAR Photography

us in less than one week) and we are absolutely in love! The team are professional and truly talented. We knew we were willing to invest in our memories and we’re glad we chose AZAR. They are incredible at capturing the ‘feeling’ of the day. I can’t stop looking at our pictures! I felt more confident viewing these photos. I realized I didn’t have to ‘change’ anything about myself to get amazing photos. They work with you so that you love your image as you are. That is a gift in itself. If you are considering moving forward with their team, we 100% recommend doing so. We now have precious memories forever thanks to AZAR. Wish you all the best! Kind regards, Iri & Dylan

y were professional from day one. During our consultation, they answered many of the questions we had and helped us to relax and to plan and create our wedding day!! He had lots of great advice and things we never thought about and also was super flexible on a lot of the special pictures we wanted to capture. The day of the wedding couldn’t have gone any better. They were there every step of the way and communicated so well! They captured every moment so spectacularly. Having candid pictures of our guests were very important to us as well and they captured those moments perfectly. It was a true joy to work with them the entire day of our wedding. We felt so prepared and excited before our day began. (Which helped us enjoy the day all the more) They were so quick to get back on our sneak peek photos which made our honeymoon amazing. To be able to see those pictures so quickly (just a few days later) made us know that we truly chose the right photographer for our wedding day. We are very glad that we went with the additional videography package. The quality was outstanding and the videos combined with the songs we selected really captured our special day. The wedding day goes by in a hurry so being able to go back and watch the videos that we will have for a lifetime was so worth it. If you are looking for an outstanding, professional, first class photographer, you must choose AZAR photography! You won’t be disappointed.

told us he would be the lead photographer, with his wife Lesya as second. Their social media showed 32 years of combined experience—20 for Andrew and 12 for Lesya—which was key in our decision, as photography was the most important part of our wedding. Andrew mentioned partnering with an experienced videographer, leading us to add one to our package. We communicated exclusively with Andrew throughout the planning process. On our wedding day, we were shocked to find Lesya as the lead photographer and their teenage daughter as the second. The promised videographer was absent, and Andrew was handling videography himself. We paid for 32 years of photography experience but received less than half! There was no communication or apology. We felt blindsided and anxious, unsure if the videographer canceled or if Andrew misled us from the start. We felt trapped, relying on someone we had never met to capture our most important day. It’s not like we could argue with him in front of 100 guests! We don’t know why Andrew thinks it’s okay to put us in such distress on our wedding day! Sadly, it was hard to understand Lesya’s instructions due to language barriers. After months of planning with Andrew, it was frustrating to see him not even photographing. We don't know if any of our requests were communicated to Lesya. Many photos were poorly composed, with harsh shadows and overexposure. Some important moments like the first dance and sparkler sendoff were major letdowns. Their daughter left 3 hours early without notice. We had carefully planned a schedule requiring two experienced photographers to cover multiple locations. When one left, the remaining photographer had to scramble, impacting both quality and quantity of photos. When we raised concerns after we received all final deliverables (3 months after wedding), Andrew denied promising him and his wife being the photographers, despite their website clearly showing only them at the time of booking. We had no reason to think anyone else would be our photographers. He also denied ever promising a third-party videographer, even though he had referred to the videographer as "he" throughout planning. If we had known the reality, we never would have booked them. Andrew also argued that our emotions weren’t affected, claiming we "looked happy"—as if we should have appeared miserable on our wedding day. This was ignorant and disrespectful, ignoring our genuine disappointment and implying we were lying. He only admitted his daughter left early (He had the heart to argue it was 1 hour not 3 like that makes it okay.) after we confronted him repeatedly. He downplayed the issue, offering a $30 refund for all the missed moments and stress we endured. What an insult! We don’t want any couple to have this devastating experience. They can promise the world to get you to sign, but once you're locked in, they claim they delivered the agreed-upon number of photos, and you are not allowed to criticize the quality or experience. Planning a wedding is stressful enough without worrying if your photographer will betray your trust! We urge anyone considering AZAR to think carefully. They might have had good reviews but weddings might have started to feel like just another transaction to them. You deserve better on your most important day!

ok soo many pictures and videos. They even returned sneak peak pictures and our Instagram reel within a week of our wedding. The remainder of our pictures came a week after. They took the best photos and accommodate to your needs. We are so glad we choose them and can’t wait to receive the rest of our content including our full length video of our most special day! Thank you! Signed, The Albaugh’s!

ent our sneak peek photos the following day and I am still in tears because I love them so much. I absolutely cannot wait to see the rest. Beyond my, and my husband’s, impressions of Andriy, every single person who has seen these photos so far and many people who saw Andriy in action, taking photos on our wedding day, are in awe of his talent. His ability to capture beautiful moments, his attention to detail, and his professionalism are apparent to everyone who has the pleasure to work with and around him. I highly recommend AZAR Photography to anyone and everyone! Thank you so much, Andriy!
