Masha'S Photography

magical. There’s no question about that. Let’s start with a simple phone call with Rich (her right hand man/husband.) We called just to set up a consult and he was magnificent to speak to. He was so positive and uplifting. And spoke so highly of Masha! Then when we met Masha, her entire person was peaceful and gracious. She was very professional yet extremely friendly. Very like-able, and something about her said book her! It was as if she knew all the moments we wanted captured on our big day, she knew we wanted creative works of art, and she knew we wanted intimate images. To be honest, Masha was so cool that we went home and ended up sending her a check in full. We knew we wanted her. Leading up to the wedding, we didn’t really need to speak much to her. We created a Pinterest board and were able to send her the vibe we wanted. Then the night before we came up with our time frame for the next day and called it! DAY OF WEDDING! Masha was right on time (in fact, arrived before we did). Very classy and gracious. She spent the entire day with me! From the second I started getting my make up done, she was already shooting the dress, my shoes, EVERYTHING! Even though we were running behind on the time table, she kept me so calm. Her energy is seriously what started my entire day off. She kept me in such a great head space. She reminded me to drink water, have a snack, and most importantly to enjoy EVERY MOMENT. She had GREAT ideas and we followed her lead 100%. No questions. And if there was a moment I wanted her to capture she didn’t hesitate to run over to me to take it. Then her husband came in and seriously, they are a power couple. The way the two of them work so well with each other is insane. It’s like Masha would just look at Rich and he already had everything she needed. Ok, let’s get to the pictures. WOW. Honestly, no other words or sounds. Just breathless WOW. The two of them made my husband and I feel like Vogue models, like celebrities, and like we were meant to be in front of the camera for life. Her direction was very easy to listen to, her ideas and posing was so on point, and she was able to get every single family member a photo. Actually, she was able to get a picture with my husband and I and EVERY GUEST! (Granted, we had an intimate wedding.) She was able to handle a ton of people at one time, people just jumping in, people saying hi while taking pictures (yeah that happens,) and kept her cool. This review truly isn’t even saying enough on how much we love Masha and Rich. The started off as strangers, and by the end of night they have become true friends in our hearts. Her photos are breathtaking, her workmanship is a straight and beautiful hustle. Her professionalism is on point. And for the both of them: their top TOP priority of the entire day is seriously for the BRIDE and GROOM. If I needed to sum them up it would be: Book her now, you get a two for one with her husband. They are truly about the bride and groom and trust them. They were truly amazing to work with. And We highly recommend them to everyone! Getting married or not; you need them in your life.

smoothly and the pictures are incredible. Her work is beautiful and unique. The pictures are not going to look forced or like anyone else's. Masha is truly gifted and passionate about her work and it really shows. Her dedication and talent set her apart. She was with us all day and captured every moment. It was wonderful to go back through the pictures and see all the moments I missed. It was like reliving the day. Not only did she take more pictures than she promised, they were all beautiful, we had a very hard time choosing which to print. We will also be ordering a book from her for our first anniversary. Her work is incredible and she is a lovely professional. We had so much fun and have beautiful pictures.

much we would fall in love with her and our photos. We both cannot imagine a better experience and end result! For our engagement shoot, Masha and Rich drove us around LA to three different locations -- I had four costume changes. I still haven't been able to narrow it down to below 60 favorites. For our wedding, they arrived during hair and makeup and stayed until the very end. Everyone has commented how nice they were to work with and how amazing our photographs are. Communication has been really easy and it's nice to work with someone you can trust when it comes to something so important. She's working on our album right now -- can't wait!!

I mentioned I didn't have a photographer, I was given Masha's information. I looked through all of the photos on her site, her facebook, and her instagram before deciding I would reach out and when I heard back from her I was not disappointed! She works with her husband, Rich, who is her biggest fan and cheerleader, and they do absolutely everything they can to make your day amazing. Masha and Rich are both super responsive, either by text or email, and are super understanding when things start to get a little crazy and you forget to reply back to them immediately (I know this from personal experience, haha). We had a very exciting engagement shoot and Masha was all for it, giving ideas and staging beautiful shots along the way. She took my vision and added her own spin on it and created an absolutely amazing set of photos. We shot for hours and she was energetic through the whole thing. For the day of the wedding, Masha spent the morning with me until we prepared for the first look and she went to the hotel with Rich to photograph the boys. The first look was staged beautifully, the group shots at the venue were fun and enjoyable to shoot, and the family photos taken during cocktail hour were done quickly. During the ceremony, I didn't even notice her but I knew she was running around getting every shot. During the reception, I would catch her running around but she was so fast and got the shots quickly and moved on. And even at the end of the day after everything was packed I wanted to get some selfies with the hubby and she pulled out her cameras to take some final shots for us and also stage our thank you card photo. Masha never charges for time, she's with you the full day from start to finish. She's just... phenomenal. I would put my trust in her time and time again!
