Masha Sakhno Photo LLC

and got all the shots that we wanted. They were helpful, peaceful and brought a warm and inviting feeling to out photo session. Not only did Masha and her crew make me, my husband and our guests and family comfortable in front of the cameras… they also produced the most STUNNING photos and the sweetest video. I have only received my sneak peak of the video and photos so far but we are already so in love with how the photos are coming out. She was really able to capture that darker moody vibe that I was going for, which I am sure was a bit different than the typical Hawaii destination bride wants. Masha and her crew knocked it out of the park. If you are thinking about working with her, DO IT! You will not regret it !

time difference was 10 hours but Masha was super accommodating, giving us lots of choice. Masha was excellent at keeping us on top of booking vendors (the guide was invaluable for us), sharing ideas and finalising a timeline. We needed a bit more direction so Masha really became our planner and photographer. We couldn’t have planned our dream elopement without her. Our day was pure bliss. We wanted to elope because we wanted our day to be chilled, intimate and fun. It was everything we could have ever wished for. We exchanged vows on a surfboard because we wanted to be surrounded by the calmness of the ocean and wanted them to be intimate. We didn’t even know Masha was there for that part of our elopement! The rest of the day was also incredible, Masha gave the perfect amount of direction, we’re not models and so we asked for a bit of help on how to move etc (talked about this in our planning calls). Everything felt natural, it didn’t feel like a photoshoot, it felt like our elopement, a real adventure. And then the sneak peeks, WOW. We’ve only had our sneak peeks for a couple of weeks and we’re in love with every single one. We must look at them about 10x a day! They are amazing, they give us all the feels from our day and we can’t wait to print them all out to fill a gallery wall in our home. I still can’t believe there is a full gallery to come as well, eeek! Masha is incredibly talented and you can absolutely count of her to capture/document your special day. Mahalo again Masha!

knew we were in good hands. She was not just a photographer but also a valuable source of advice and support - neither of us had ever visited Hawaii before and we were completely overwhelmed by the number of options and factors to consider. Over the course of a few meetings and emails with Masha, she understood our goals deeply and helped us craft an ideal wedding day, guiding us on which island to pick and making a timeline for the day that balanced our desire for amazing photos with a bit of downtime. We truly would have been lost without her help and expertise. On the day of the wedding, Masha was a calm and reassuring presence who went above and beyond - from acting as a hiking guide during our morning adventure photo session, to stepping in to relocate our florals when we changed getting ready spots at the last minute. She had an incredible ability to put both of us at ease in front of the camera as well. Neither of us are super comfortable in front of a camera, but her instructions and encouragement made us both feel natural. She also efficiently communicated with our other vendors, particularly syncing with our officiant to catch key moments in our wedding ceremony. She’s absolutely the best of the best - a consummate professional with the tact, thoughtfulness, and artistry for a stellar wedding experience. The final photos we received have left us absolutely speechless. Each image is a work of art. We’ve been able to relive the joy, love, and laughter of our wedding day through her lens. Masha captured every significant moment and so many beautiful, candid shots that we will treasure forever. Moreover, our friends and family have also been thrilled with the photos. We were only able to include our immediate families in our ceremony, so her photos have played an intrinsic role in our ability to share our experience with our friends when we returned. We couldn't be happier with Masha as our wedding photographer. She’s not just an incredibly professional and skilled photographer but an artist who turns moments into memories. Thank you, Masha, for making our wedding day magical. We will forever cherish your work!

She was beyond accommodating since day 1 of meeting with her over Zoom and we felt an immediate connection with her. Masha was readily available throughout the months leading up to our wedding day, made the planning process & scheduling a breeze, gave us trustworthy vendor suggestions, and made us feel so comfortable behind the camera. We went from always feeling awkward posing for photos prior to our photoshoot with Masha to feeling like models on the cover of a magazine as soon as she arrived. She gave us amazing tips on how to pose and encouraged us to bring out our best selves. She allowed us to fully soak in our special day and made it an experience of a lifetime. We love you Masha! Anyone and everyone would be so lucky to have you as a photographer, planner and a friend!

ng to plan our entire day. We wanted to do a super casual ceremony on the beach, and she was generous enough to scope out the planned locations a few days before and then let us know why they wouldn't work and offered some different solutions, and the result was even more perfect than we could imagine. We are OBSESSED with all of our photos, and so are ALL of our friends and families -- everyone loves the photos and say they look like a magazine spread. Beautiful, editorial, classy, romantic, timeless, sensual, they are everything. THANK YOU MASHA !

pretty overwhelmed with the process; she stepped in and not only helped us with the timeline but recommended other awesome vendors to work with. Masha was always quick to respond and gave us so many great ideas; seriously, I don' think our wedding would have been as incredible if it wasn't for her! And don't even get me started on our PHOTOS. My partner and I are super awkward and camera shy so we were happy when she gave such awesome direction and put our nerves at ease. We still get compliments that we look like models our photos! If you have a chance to work with Masha, DO ITTTT!

n photos fills me with all the emotions (in the best way)!!! Her attention to detail, beautiful creativity, and adventurous side make her the absolute best! These photos will hold a special place in our hearts forever and we are so thankful Masha captured it better than we could've imagined. She helped make our day extremely special and we are forever grateful!

ng photos, Masha is your girl. Trust me, you won't regret it. She's got that special something that takes your wedding memories to a whole new level.
