Absolutely criminal - as others have posted here, DO NOT do business with this company. Our wedding was June 9, 2017 - we paid an additional $500 for a wedding album with our package. It has been almost 4 YEARS & we still have not received the album we paid for.
I have been emailing them since 2018 trying to get this resolved...and Betty has been completely radio silent since January 22, 2019. Better believe they’re still posting on Instagram though!
Additionally, this may not bother others as much as me - but Betty did all of the pre-wedding communication with us and said she’d be our photographer on the day & that she’d bring an assistant. The wedding day arrived and her husband - who I’d never laid eyes on - showed up to shoot my wedding with no assistant. Just extremely unprofessional.
My wedding was on July 19,2020 and if planning a wedding during a pandemic wasn't enough I got jipped by these photographers as well. I did thankfully get my online gallery with my pictures but I never received the album I had already paid for with the package I chose. I reached out and reached out with no response. The whole experience has been unprofessional.
I absolutely adore Betty! My entire family loved having her photograph my wedding. My husband and I first met Vitalli for an engagement shoot and he was very easy to work with. It was both of our first time being photographed and he was very calm and knew exactly how to position us or different locations to explore around Key West. The photos came back relatively quickly and absolutely beautiful!! The day of the wedding, Betty arrived very promptly and prepared. Her assistant (his name escapes me! I’m sorry!) was just as prepared and professional. Having Betty in the room was like having another girlfriend! She laughed and cried with my family and friends and it was so easy having her there. She captured beautiful images that I will always cherish. I have provided Betty a list of names for photos and she executed the list quickly and efficiently. We were a little behind, time wise, but I think that’s a given on your wedding day! She knew exactly when the sun was setting and went down to the beach to get some of my favorite photos! Throughout the reception her assistant were in the crowds dancing with us while taking the funniest pictures! There weren’t any large flashes to blind us or our guests or distract from having fun! Betty has this natural ability to take light, beautiful natural photos while making you feel like family! Would definitely recommend!
We could not imagine better looking wedding photos! Betty and Vitalii were incredible to work with, delivered on every request, didn’t miss a moment from our day, and edited the photos beautifully. We couldn’t be more grateful for the beautiful album we received, and we will cherish our photos forever. Our friends and family are obsessed with our photos too, and we have been receiving non-stop compliments since we posted them to our social media. It took 3 hours to try and put together a Facebook album because we didn’t want to overshare, and we ended up still sharing 500 because we had the hardest time eliminating! There is not a single photo we dislike, so we shared the entire 700+ album link with our family and wedding party. Please do not hesitate to book Lavryk for your special day, they did a phenomenal job, and we couldn’t be happier with the results.

fair overall. Good photographer. I was pleased with my photos. came to the event on time. Response time prior to the wedding was fair and almost non existent after the wedding. What is even more upsetting: more than 1 year after the wedding, we never received the photo album we picked out and paid out. customer service is not up to standard.
What is unfortunate, is this review would have been completed different had we received all the services we paid for.I had initially planned to fill social medial with a good review until we did not receive all our paided services.
Vitali was great!
Betty and Vitalii are amazing! They did our engagement pictures and our wedding at the Basilica and reception at Casa Marina. They also did our videography . I am so excited to see the pictures and video but expect them to be great judging from the work I have already seen them produce. They know exactly what they are doing and let you enjoy your wedding. They are also open to anything whether it be limiting pictures at certain locations or catching the beautiful sunset in time. If you want great quality pictures and video I highly recommend them for your Florida Keys wedding!
Betty and Vitalli are the best!
Betty and Vitalii were amazing! They did an awesome job and were super helpful with all things photo related and beyond. I highly recommend them!
The Lavryk's did an exceptional job on our wedding photos! We could not be happier with how they turned out. They were also very speedy with coordinating our wedding day and getting our edited pictures to us! I highly recommend them for anyone looking for a photographer in the Key West area!
Vitalii is an excellent photographer.
He arrived on time and was very professional. Vitalii did a marvelous job photographing our intimate beach ceremony.
I would recommend Vitalii's services to anyone looking for a quality, reasonably priced photographer in Key West.
"Simply fantastic! Vitalii did such a great job shooting our wedding in September . We couldn't be more pleased with how the photos turned out. My husband and I got married in Key West by ourselves, so having great photos was so very important for us. Thanks to Vatalii we have incredible photos to share with our family and friends that really captures the joy and scenery. I also must say, theses are some of the best photos ever taken of us ! We can't recommend enough! Thanks again Vitallii!"
We had the most amazing experience with Lavryk Photography. Vitalii was a complete joy to work with and made our day just that much more special. Our images ended up more beautiful than I could have imagined. I would recommend Lavryk photography ten times over.
Lavryk Photography went above and beyond our expectations for our wedding photography! Working with Vitalii and Betty was awesome and they really helped make our more perfect than we could have ever imagined! They worked with us to get all the pictures we wanted and find the best spots in Key West to get some fantastic pictures! We booked with Lavryk Photography at about a month out from our wedding and I am so pleased that I waited until I found them! We hope to come back to Key West in a few years from now and book a session with them! Highly recommend Lavryk Photography for any moments you want to have captured!!
We could not have more pleased with Vitalii for our wedding. He was so encouraging and fun to work with, even my husband enjoyed taking pictures! Our gallery was delivered exactly as promised and our photographs exceeded all our expectations. Thanks to Vitalii, we have precious momentos of our special day!
Hiring Vitalii was one if the best decisions we made for our destination wedding. Our photos were amazing and we usually do not take amazing photos. Vitalii's advice was on point. He captured every moment in such vivid detail that we relive our wedding day every time we review the photos. I could never thank you enough for making our wedding day complete. You are the BEST!!!
They did an amazing job capturing our wedding day in both photography and videography. We could not be more grateful for the beautiful images we received and the timeless photos we can forever cherish. Betty and Vitalii were so sweet and professional in every way. Thank you again!
My husband and I got married at the Hemingway House in Key West, Fl on May 3rd. Every time someone looks at the pictures the response is always "Wow, the photographer did SUCH a good job" and I could not agree more! These two are a beautiful couple and I am forever grateful for the flawless job they did documenting mine and Charlie's perfect day. A wedding day can get stressful and Vitalli and Betty made us both feel comfortable and went out of their way to ensure the day was ran smoothly. For anyone considering a photographer in Key West, USE THE LAVRYK'S -- I promise you will not be disappointed!
Vitalli and Betty are extremely talented photographers. They made our wedding dreams come to life in photos. I really appreciated their planning,organization and their ability to engage us while planning a destination wedding. Their experience made our day run smoothly and everyone enjoyed their company - I still get so many compliments on our wedding pictures.
My husband and I got married in Key West, FL on December 24th, 2015. Vitalii Lavryk was the most amazing photographer from start to finish. He was very professional, easy going, sincere and super friendly. He made us feel super comfortable the whole entire time. He did an amazing job and made our wedding day extra special. He captured so many wonderful moments during our wedding and we love that he used natural lighting. When our picture album came it took our breath away. We highly recommend Vitalii and Lavryk Photography. Once again, thank you so much Vitalii for the amazing work you did.
All the best,
Mr. & Mrs. Geraci
I would definitely recommend Lavryk Photography! My husband & I got married May 2016 in Key west. Betty made discussing our wish list for our wedding day photos over the phone so stress free! Vitalii was very kind, considerate, & professional throughout our session. We always get compliments on how beautiful our wedding photos are. We couldn't be happier. Thank you both again!
Lavryk Photography provide efficient and quality services to capture our special day. The photo portion of the event ran smoothly and quickly. Photos evoked emotional responses from family and friends who were unable to attend our wedding.
Vitalii was so wonderful to work with!! He was very kind and very professional and all of his shots came out great. So great, in fact, my husband and I had a hard time choosing our favorites. I don't consider myself as being particularly photogenic but Vitalii's photos made both me and my husband look wonderful!! I would definitely recommend Lavryk Photography to anyone who goes to Key West to get married.
I had a great experience with Lavryk Photography ! Dont regret at all! Very friendly and professional attitude! Thank you Vitalii for your great job, thank you for an amazing photoshoot . You caught the most important moment of our day! hundreds time Thank you!!!!
On July 14th, 2016 my husband and I tied the knot in Key West. Being a destination wedding they both made this experience stress free and fun. We got all the photos we were looking for and they all came out AMAZING! i could not have asked for a better experience and am so grateful that you were part of our wedding day. Thank you again!!!
Lavryk Photography is the best! We had the pleasure of working with them for our wedding. Talk about beautiful pictures! We recommend Lavryk Photography to anyone who wants superb pictures!
Vitalli was our photographer for our wedding and he was amazing! He captured the most beautiful photos for us and he was also very fun and comfortable to work with. My husband and I both don't love having our photo taken but he made it a fun and memorable experience! I highly recommend Lavryk Photography if you get married in Key West!
My husband and I got married in Key West in December and couldn't have been happier with our pictures! Vitalli was amazing to work with. He was very professional and calm during the whole day (I was a nerve mess during the day and he never got stressed out). When we got our pictures back, there were so many pictures I never realized were taken and was over joyed to see them! His pictures exceeded all my expectations and the photo book we got is excellent! I would recommend Vitalli to anyone looking for a great photographer in key west, you will not be disappointed!
My Wife and I said 'Yes in Key West' and we were lucky enough to have Vitalii as our photographer. He along with Lavryk Photography were very professional and the pictures turned out amazing! Thanks for the memories Vitalii!! We would recommend Lavryk Photography 100%!
Working with Lavryk Photography was probably the easiest and most rewarding part of this wedding; the customer service was amazing and the photos were OUTSTANDING and exceeded our expectations. From a customer service standpoint, Betty and Vitalii were responsive and available throughout the course of planning. On the day of, Vitalii was there ahead of schedule to take photos in advance and he was full of remarkable photo ideas for us. The photos were provided in a timely fashion - actually, the photos were provided much sooner than we had expected to receive them - and they are beautiful! The photos show that they have the "eye" and natural talent for taking photos.
Betty and Vitalii are THE dynamic photography duo personifying teamwork and dedication to the art. I would recommend them to anyone looking for photography services in Key West, FL!
Vitalii was awesome and very professional. Our wedding pictures came out fantastic. He captured all of our memories just the way we wanted them. It was a great experience.
Lavryk Photography was great It was a pleasure all the way and the photos came out really great.His assistants also did our video and my mom could not help shedding a tear when watching it. That is the best critique!
I just LOVED the photos! We are locals and just followed our friends recommendation and booked Vitaly for our wedding. Everything was perfect, Vitaly handled everything and everybody in a great way, helping everybody relax and smile.
Lavryk Photography was amazing, they make you feel relax and comfortable. Willing to help when it comes to planning your wedding session. Professional and at the same time fun & very creative!
I am not a big fan of writing reviews but this is a special one because it is about me and my baby. We did not plan anything big, just few of our friends and us. After long searching and comparing different pictures we chose Lavryk Photography and did not regret a second. We had everything like we planned even though it was an elopement style ceremony. Entrancing guitar music, dearest people around, my love's eyes, beach sand under the feet and the last beams of the Florida sun. Vitaly's pictures captured all that precisely as it imprinted in my memory. Now everybody who I show the pictures get upset they were not there lol. To cut a long story short I highly recommend Lavryk Photography.
I cannot begin to express how happy I am with my photos!!! They are amazing!!!! from engagement pictures to wedding pictures, I recommend Lavryk Photography to everyone. They Delivered exactly what we wanted, their eye for photos are unique and superb. If you are looking for professional and talented photographers that will make you feel at ease, Lavryk Photography is the way to go! Thank you!
After shooting wedding photography for 10 years in my state, choosing a photographer in Key West for my own wedding was one of the most difficult decisions. My wedding planner couldn't guarantee that Vitalli with Lavryk Photography would be available for my wedding so I chose to reach out to him directly and book the photography myself. I was so happy that I chose Vitalii. Our photos turned out beautiful, and he did a great job capturing our personalities in the images. We had so many great photos that it was difficult to choose our favorite. I really appreciated Vitalii's professionalism, kindness, and artistic skills.
Vitalii was great and a very professional photographer. We love all the photos so much we cant choose any favorites since they are all great!!! He knew the right angles to capture the perfect moments. Personally I am not a photogenic person and don't like pictures so I was nervous to take and pose for so many pictures but he made it so easy & natural, I couldn't believe how much I was enjoying all the photos!! I wish I could bring him to all my events.
We used Lavryk Photography for our wedding in Jan. 2015. We couldn't have asked for a bette photography and absolutely love the shots he got of our day. If you want a friendly, professional, talented and affordable photographer, you can't go wrong with Vitalli. We give him 5 stars!
Lavryk Photography was amazing.
Vitalii was very professional, responsive and creative. The pictures came out so good, that I had tears on my eyes after viewing them. I'm so happy that I chose him and he was available for my Wedding! Thank You so much!

Vitalli was excellent. He was extremely professional and took some very elegant wedding portraits. My husband is hard to please and even he commented afterwards on how much he liked Vitalli. I had no idea if the types of photos I wanted, I told him to just get some great, classically beautiful beachy photos. My only criticism is that he could incorporate some more fun moments caught in action photos. However, when we received the photos there were so many to choose from. I loved them. Even 3 months later I have three favorites not just one. I am very satisfied with his work and pleased I chose him! Thank you Vitalli!!
It feels like yesterday, since we last worked with Lavryk Photography. The photographer was very professional, and courteous, since he was dealing with camera shy folks. He left us with a Lifetime of memories, for such a nominal rate. The quality of the vivid photos are PRICELESS!! We relive those moments, daily.
We worked with Lavryk Photography for our May 2015 elopement in the keys. They were very professional and constantly kept in contact before the date several weeks out. The day off, they also confirmed timing and location of ceremony and before photos. They were very professional and recommend them as they know the keys and made us feel very comfortable!
My husband and I used say yes in key west to plan our last minute elopement. Lavryk photography did the pictures for our beach ceremony and they did such a great job! He made it fun, even though my hubby hates getting his picture taken!!! The pictures are beautiful and they really captured the feeling of the day. Even though our families were not there for the wedding, the pictures told such a great story that they still felt connected to us on our special day.
We used Lavryk Photography (which came with our wedding package from Say Yes in Key West) Vitalii was our photographer he was extremely nice and professional and when we received our photos we were speechless. Vitalii did more than just take pictures of our wedding he captured memories that will last forever.
I loved Vitalii, he was amazing! He was fun and light to work with, and was able to take LOTS of photos in a limited amount of time. And the photos: Simply stunning. Something I will be proud to show of in the years to come!
Getting married is not that easy. With all the fuss and trouble of arranging everything, making sure all is gonna be perfect there is always something that might go wrong. My best man forgot the RING!!!! So, a dozen of people, dressed up, standing on the beach in South Florida and suffering from the heat in the last minutes of the day (SUNSET!!!) and no ring! He rushed to the car and headed to the hotel to pick it up. My fiance is mad, almost in tears.Thanks to Vitalii he helped us a lot in this situation and just started making group pictures catching awesome sunset shots. Basically most of my wedding pictures are made even before we were actually announced a man and a wife!! This let us have amazing sunset pictures, not losing the awesome moments of nature and distracted us all from the missing ring. When my friend returned with the ring we still had time for the ceremony and had amazing pictures taken with the officiant, us and the sunset! Vitalii saved our wedding! We are going to Key West for the renewal of the vows and definitely ask him to take pictures again. The ones that we got at our wedding were so beautiful that we occasionally would sit and look at them, remembering the biggest day in our lives just laughing at how my best friend almost gave us a heart attack :) Thanks Vitalii for the GOOD memories!!!
Great photographer!! Very personable and the pictures turned out better than I could imagine. We were told that the pictures would be done in three weeks and he was ahead of schedule!
The Lavryk team was amazing!! The were very prompt in answering questions during the planning stages and provided a variety of packages to choose from. On the wedding day they were fantastic. As every wedding is, we were on a set schedule and Betty took charge and made sure everything was completed on time. She took the lead and allowed me to relax and enjoy the moments while her husband was taking pictures. They came up with great ideas for poses and were open to suggestions for poses from me and my bridal party. During the wedding they captured amazing shots all while being unobtrusive. The pictures that were taken after the wedding are absolutely amazing. I could not have asked for anything better. Betty had a sneak preview of the pics up so quickly and had all the pictures edited and up in less than 2 weeks. Everyone was shocked on how fast the pictures were up and ready to view. They created a preview of a slideshow and it was perfect! It took us right back to that day!! I could not be more happier with my experience with Lavryk Photography. I highly recommend their services if you are getting married in Key West!!!
