Photographer Georgy Shishkin

Georgy was one of the smartest wedding decisions we made. He was responsive and collaborative during the months ahead of our wedding and throughout all our interactions (both before and on the wedding day!) he was warm, friendly, kind, gentle, smiling, easygoing and so incredibly easy to work with. He helped offer adjustments for poses since neither my husband or I were used to being in front of the camera and he helped us feel at ease. Georgy went above and beyond and literally in bushes for us and we are so beyond grateful. Our friends and family loved working with him and we were all so impressed with the effort he put in to get great shots. The hundreds and hundreds of photos we received were all so stunning; they truly captured the feelings and energy of the day and are photos we will cherish for the rest of our lives. He captured moments that we barely registered ourselves and we are beyond grateful he saw them. Working with Georgy was such a phenomenal part of our wedding experience and I absolutely recommend working with him!

Let me start my review off in the most simple way possible... BOOK GEORGY! We used Georgy for our wedding in Napa, California after we saw the amazing work he did for my best mans wedding the year prior in the Oregon area. Georgy is a man of business (Our guests reviews: "He was SO professional") and you will notice this on your wedding day. However, most importantly, you will notice after your wedding day that you have beautiful photos that will perfectly encapsulate your once (hopefully, lol) in a lifetime day. You don't get do overs on your wedding day and Georgy understands that. His undeniable professionalism mixed with his keen eye for creating breathtakingly beautiful images will ensure that you'll have a timeless collection of memories that will transport you back to each cherished moment.

I wish there were enough words to describe how fantastic Georgy was and the amount of time and car he put into our special day and post wedding photos. Extremely professional and took amazing pictures that I know.We will cherish for a lifetime. Starting from very early in the morning and staying very late at night, he was able to capture the best moments of our wedding day in so many different styles. I would highly recommend having Georgy as your wedding photographer. And please make sure that he eats because he was working so hard that entire day I had to basically force him to eat! Thank you, Georgy, and I wish you all the luck in your business!

My husband and I are so glad we found Georgy! He was very professional, kind and fun to work with. Even though my husband has a hard time being in front of the camera, that didn’t stop Georgy from producing some of the most beautiful memories. He understood how to direct and comfort us when we were nervous or unsure. I am so happy with how my engagement and wedding photos turned out. Thank you!

Georgy was absolutely fantastic to work with for our wedding and engagement pictures. Georgy has a great eye for detail and for capturing beautiful candid moments as well. Posing and taking structured photos were also easy and comfortable with him. Georgy is incredibly friendly and easy to work with; he will help you bring your visions to life while complimenting with his own expertise and style. I would wholeheartedly recommend anyone use Georgy as a photographer and would definitely contact him again in the future for additional events. All of our friends and guests were blown away with the moments he was able to capture, and we are so glad we chose him!

I have to say the stars aligned for me when working with Georgy! I planned a get away to Portland for my partner, child, and I, with the intent of proposing to her at Canon Beach. (1 1/2 hours from Portland). I was certain that I wanted to have a photographer capture the moments of proposal but not knowing anyone in the area, I reached out to multiple photographers who advertised work in the area. My plan was to hire a photographer who would secretly take photos without my fiancés knowing without compromising the surprise. I was extremely thrilled when Georgy told me he liked the idea and would do everything he could to capture our special moment. I have to say there was a huge relief for me when he offered to make his time available for me between several days of our trip, as the date of the proposal was not certain until 2 days prior. I generally had an idea of where I wanted to propose to her in Canon Beach but Georgy even dropped a pin for us to rendezvous at, which I have to say was the most beautiful location to capture the surrounding beauty. With date and time set and never meeting in person, he kept great communication on what each other would be wearing this day. I have to say to me this was a MISSION so I didn’t spoil the surprise and Georgy was dedicated to seeing this mission through! Lol. Well the date of the shooting my family and I were running behind schedule and I didn’t want to pick up the phone to notify Georgy as the first thing my partner would ask me is who I was texting lol, so I didn’t want to risk anything. Once we got to Canon Beach I texted him I was a bit late and he replied that he had ran to make sure he was ready and in position lol. I was extremely nervous and couldn’t think very straight but it was really nice knowing that I had him there, it felt like I had a friend in my corner with their full support and dedication to have the moment go through flawlessly. After the proposal I told my fiancé that I had Georgy there to take photos of the moment and we used the time I scheduled to capture additional photos of our family. I have to say after reviewing the photos of the day, he really has an eye for capturing a beautiful love story. As advice to anyone who is going to be working with him, listen to any ideas he has to share with you. He captured us in beautiful settings and I am extremely glad he provided the direction he did. I’m not very photo friendly, but he found a way to capture us so elegantly. Even though he was near us, it did not feel like he was even there. He has a way of blending into the environment and capturing those real moments while providing input. He was great to work with, extremely friendly, and I did not feel like the photos were forced in any way. Due to the weather and our son not being very comfortable we had to cut the shooting short unfortunately but even with that the photos came out great. My fiancé and I love them, and I am adamant about having him shoot the wedding or any other opportunity we may have to hire a photographer. Georgys work speaks for itself, but the person behind the camera is an absolute pleasure to work with.

Georgy has the eye of a true artist. He is incredibly easy to work with and took the most beautiful photos to help capture the story of our wedding day. He is very flexible, but also gives really good direction for creative shots. I would highly recommend working with Georgy.

We are completely thrilled and gobsmacked by Georgy’s work! His photos look like they belong in a magazine. And you don’t even know he’s there! So friendly, so professional, an absolute gem to work with. We will definitely be hiring him again and again as the years go on.
