I spent many weeks researching and comparing a plethora of photographers to find “the one.” After narrowing my choices down, I turned to one of my husband’s best friends/groomsmen, a professional photographer himself, for his expert opinion to... help me solidify the winner. Without hesitation, Anastasia’s portfolio outshone the others. Alas, I found her!
I couldn’t be luckier to have met such a personable, dedicated, passionate, and talented photographer as Anastasia. Her loving personality radiated through every email, every call, through every correspondence. From start to finish, Anastasia was a dream to work with and, naturally, as expected, our photographs turned out exceptionally.
Anastasia captured the very essence of our wedding – all the fun and dancing, the intricate details, the emotion and magical narrative of the day. She even slid a beautifully hand-written wedding card in our letterbox sharing such touching, kind and personal words-of-wisdom. Her words meant so much to me that I even brought it along on our honeymoon. No word of a lie.
But little did I know, our goodbye that evening was not the last. As expected in most weddings, several little/big mishaps occur. Our most unfortunate mishap ended up being my hair! Regrettably and unknowingly, I hired a very inexperienced stylist. Michael and I had a 4pm flight out of Boston, and on that very travel day, at 10:20am, I had a crazy and desperate idea to recapture some close-ups, with newly styled hair, of course.
I took my chances and called Anastasia. This incredible lady fought 2 hours of traffic in a heavy downpour of rain, she had her adorable children in tow because this was so last minute, and to top it off, she even brought additional umbrellas so Michael and I wouldn’t get soaking wet in the rain. If that is not going above and beyond, I don’t know what is. After all of that conundrum, we only had time for 8 minutes of photo taking. EIGHT MINUTES! But she snapped away in the pouring rain like the dedicated, professional she is - only wanting the best for her clients. And can you believe that by the time we landed, I had an abundance of edited photos waiting for me in my inbox.
I will never forget Anastasia’s empathy, her kindness, her flexibility and willingness to go above and beyond for her clients. Her dedication is something to marvel at. If you are looking for a wildly talented photographer who is thoughtful, reliable, makes you feel at ease and confident; if you are looking for someone who is exceptionally accommodating, patient and calm amidst all the wedding-frenzy, Anastasia is your photographer. She is definitely ours. I heartily recommend Borisyuk Photography.
