Katerina is a professional photographer and a true master of her craft. She made our wedding day unforgettable by capturing the most important moments of our lives. Each photograph was simply stunning, and we could not have been happier with her work.
In addition, Katerina was very friendly and patient with us and our guests throughout the day. She found a way to capture our emotions and mood in every shot, giving us photos that we will look at and cherish for many years to come.
Her creative approach to photography was simply impressive, and we believe that her works are true works of art. We could not be happier with her work and highly recommend Katerina to anyone looking for a professional photographer for their special day.

We were really impressed with Katerina. The service provided both before, during and after the wedding was excellent.
On the day of the wedding, Katerina and her team are professional! The pictures were amazing and on top of the regular photos we'd asked for and the usual one's you'd expect.
After the wedding, Katerina returned the photos are really quickly and we were able to look at them before we went on honeymoon. Katerina did an album too. The wedding album is really good quality and tells a great story of the day - we absolutely love it.
Thank you Katerina!

Katerina took her time to coordinate. Maria did the photography the day of our wedding and I am in AWE. She was jumping up and down boulders and cliffs and what not to make sure she gets all the right angles. And to top it all off, their editing is exceptional. I even requested some tweaks after receiving the photos and they took care of everything for me. They even got everything back to me within 10 days of the wedding. I CANNOT recommend them enough. I will definitely contract with them again for future events.

Thank you for helping us capture our big day!
Please accept our sincere gratitude for diligence, punctuality, tact, full fulfillment of contractual obligations and just pleasant communication. It was really comfortable to communicate with a professional, smart, experienced and talented person.
Do not overload photos with special effects, leave them natural and real, and at the same time get a bewitching, sometimes unexpected result - only a mega-cool professional can do this. We thank you, Katerina, for looking at the pictures, we admire the skill of the photographer, and not his Photoshop skills.

Katia! You have a diamond eye! You managed to catch the most interesting moments of our event and not embarrass the guests. Thanks to your pictures, pleasant memories of the holiday will remain with each of us forever. Thank you for such high professionalism, now you are a welcome guest at all our events!
Katya, You have an outstanding sense of beauty, golden hands and an eagle eye… wedding photos turned out tender and piercing. When I watch them in the “slide show” mode, everything freezes inside. Thank you, Katya, for capturing so accurately the most romantic and tender moments of my life.

My wife and I have been choosing a photographer in New York for a long time. If I'm not mistaken, we looked through the portfolio of 20 photographers.
And a big thank you to Katya for the wonderful engagement photos. We chose this photographer because she has a fresh take on classic style. She brought out our characters. Personally, as a man, I do not like to be photographed. But after Katya took a few photos at the engagement, I was surprised that I looked so good) and then we were sure that our wedding was safe))) so for those couples who want really cool photos, I advise you to work)
