He’s not just a talented photographer but also a true professional who made the whole process so easy and enjoyable. Highly recommend!
Serge has an incredible talent for turning moments into art. His approach is so thoughtful and unobtrusive—you barely notice he’s there, yet he captures everything so perfectly. Looking at our wedding photos felt like stepping back into the best day of our lives, with every emotion and detail preserved beautifully. Beyond his amazing work, he’s a joy to work with—kind, professional, and completely dedicated to making your day unforgettable.
Serge is absolutely phenomenal! He has a way of making you feel relaxed and confident, which made our photos look so natural and authentic. His attention to detail and ability to capture those fleeting, emotional moments is unmatched. When we looked through our gallery, it felt like we were reliving the entire day all over again. I can’t recommend Serge enough for anyone who wants wedding photos that are both timeless and full of heart.
Working with Sergey was such a great experience! He has an amazing eye for detail and managed to capture so many beautiful, candid moments from our wedding day.

Sergey Lapkovsky is an incredible wedding photographer! He has a real talent for capturing those moments that feel so genuine and special. His photos are timeless and elegant, but they also have this personal, heartfelt quality that makes them stand out. He made us feel so comfortable, which really came through in the pictures!
We had the privilege of working with Sergey on our wedding day and he is exceptional!His service was unmatched during the entire process. There aren’t enough words to describe how fantastic our experience was with Sergey. He is extremely detail oriented, personable, patient and truly passionate about what he does. He has a calming presence and made us feel so comfortable throughout the entire day. The photos are more than anything we could have dreamed of and exude all the love and joy we felt on our wedding day. If you’re looking for a wedding photographer, look no further!!
I don’t even know where to begin. Serge was such an asset both on our wedding day and as we planned final details. He is a total professional and so knowledgeable. He helped us set up an entire “day of” plan and came with basically a plug and play of our “day of” shot list. We’re definitely more disorganized people and Serge could not have made planning photos for the day any easier. He was also just such a pleasure to be with on the day. It was stressful or exhausting at certain points (especially leading up to the ceremony!) and Serge was a rock! So so many of my family and friends told me throughout the day how wonderful Serge was. We were really hellbent on having photography that was unobtrusive (we’ve been to weddings with whirring drones over the ceremony and it totally took the magic out of it!). Serge got AMAZING shots while blending right into the background. He’s a magician! This is such a ramble, and I’m sure I missed some of the ways he was so great. But TL;DR…Serge is amazing and you won’t regret hiring him!!
Serge was absolutely a pleasure! Our wedding photos could not have been any prettier. Highly recommend!
Sergey captured our wedding and did a fantastic job! We also worked with him for our engagement shoot and immediately loved his energy.
He was responsive and made us feel very comfortable during the photoshoot. Not to mention, the photos were amazing!
Serge came highly recommended to us by a friend, and it was easy to see why. He was a pleasure to work with and took the time to understand what kind of photos we wanted for our wedding. He was very responsive and the images are incredible!
We cannot say enough positive things about Serge! He is AMAZING!
As soon as I saw his portfolio, I knew he was the one for us. The quality of his photos is phenomenal!
We both are a little awkward when it comes to photos, but Serge made the whole process easy-going and fun!
My experience with Sergey was simply perfect! He captured every moment better than we could've even imagined! He also ensured everything ran smoothly!
Serge was absolutely amazing to work with from start to finish. His positivity and energy helped us feel comfortable and stress-free! The wedding party and guests even raved about him! I couldn't ask for more in a wedding photographer.
Serge is an absolute joy to work with! We couldn’t be happier with the energy he brought to the table throughout the whole process. He was very kind and knew how to make us comfortable, as we had never taken professional photos before. We ended up with many beautiful pictures. Thanks so much!
We absolutely LOVE all of the pictures we have received from Serge! His style and editing matched up perfectly with what I envisioned in my wedding photos. I guarantee you will definitely want to work with him more than once 💛
We had a fantastic experience working with Serge as our wedding photographer! The photos are so magical! It leaves me breathless each and every time. Having him around for the day was like having an old friend around. Would highly recommend!
Serge is above and beyond anything we could have ever imagined in a wedding photographer. He was super helpful, fun and kind from the day we hired him, through the wedding, and even past that. I'm completely in love with all the magic moments Serge has captured for us, so unique and eye-catching!
Sergey was the first vendor I booked after selecting my wedding date! From the moment I saw his work on Instagram, I realized that I wanted him to be a photographer at my wedding.
Thank you so much Sergey for your AMAZING work! The pictures are stunning! He made all of us so comfortable to be around on a wedding day. I would definitely recommend Sergey to anyone else looking for a wedding photographer. We can’t wait for future shoots with him in our future!
We just received our wedding photos, and we've already watched them hundreds of times!

It has been an absolute pleasure working with Sergey for our wedding and engagement photos! He was very helpful with the entire wedding timeline and gave us great suggestions. Sergey paid attention to each and every single detail, making our wedding day experience so special. Thank you so much again! And I’m sure we will meet again in the future!
It’s hard to find the right words to describe our experience working with Sergey. He not only takes gorgeous pictures, but he is also a nice person and had the perfect energy for our wedding. Our pictures turned out better than we could have imagined. We will definitely recommend Sergey to all of my friends and family. He is amazing!
We selected Sergey based on his amazing photos and ability to capture real emotions in his candids. He is a great person to work with, very relaxed and in tune with what you want. The resulting photos are incredible! We look forward to working with him again.
Sergey was absolutely wonderful to work with on all levels! Our pictures are gorgeous and make me so happy every time I look at them. Sergey beautifully captured the joy of the day. I highly recommend working with him!
We had Sergey come to Texas for our wedding and couldn't be more pleased with the entire process. Sergey is extremely thorough and professional, but still very personable and fun to work with. We've seen our sneak peeks already, and they are amazing. Sergey has an extremely rare talent for using lighting and framing in his photos that make every shot unique and special. For anyone that thinks that having a photographer fly to your city will be too much of a hassle, I can attest that it was an extremely easy process. My wife and I could not be happier with our decision, and we highly recommend Sergey to anyone having a wedding anywhere in the world.
Sergey did a wonderful job! He was easy and fun to work with. We absolutely loved everything!
What a great experience! A wedding should be something special, and everyone wants their wedding to be memorable. Sergey did a fantastic job! The photos speak for themselves! Our guests said that he managed to be everywhere at once without it ever feeling like a photographer was present. Highly recommend him!
Sergey and his team are amazing! The photos are above and beyond my dreams. Sergey is very easygoing. I like his natural style. Highly recommended!

Sergey, thank you one more time for great photos from our wedding, you are real pro!
We highly recommend you as photographer to capture important moments of life.
There are many especially great catches of cool moments from our wedding and all photos are beautiful.
Our guests are happy with the photos as well, everybody got great pictures of themselves :).
Great scenes and attention to details on all photos.
And we would mention additionally very good postprocessing of the photos - all photos are (naturally) colorful, light, faces look natural, people skin looks natural and has natural color.
The number of photos impresses as well.
Sergey is a great photographer with a very professional attitude! We were very happy with our beautiful photos and how fast we got them!
Thank you!
Sergey photographed our love story. He is really professional in this field. Six hours with Sergey passed unnoticed. Thanks to him, the photography was easy, fun, and at ease. Sergey has a huge talent. He can find the best angle, light, caught our emotions. As a result he created the «live» and sincere photos. We saw our love story only at the wedding, and our delight could not be conveyed. A lot of marvelous reviews we heard from our guests about the Sergey’s photos!
Thank you very much for your work, for keeping that day in our memory forever. Our advice, If you want to enjoy photography and get great photos, then choose Sergey bravely !!
Sergey is a super talented photographer and we are so happy that we chose him to be our wedding photographer! The photos we received are sooo amazing!!! We even couldn’t believe that we are so beautiful! :)
We met with some other photographers, but none of them came close in what they offered in terms of skill, enthusiasm or anything else. Sergey’s knowledge and experience was extremely helpful since we didn’t have a lot of experience in photo shoot. Sergey is very nice in communication and always ready to explain all details.
Sergey, we are incredibly lucky to meet you! No doubt, you are a man of your profession. You do your job and you do it with great love.
I distinctly remember the moment when we received the first photos from our wedding. It is difficult to convey those feelings ... insanely exciting, and it is very curious, because we were waiting for them ... photos were to tears.
We are glad that you were with us. You gave us the opportunity to save all the moments of this day, the day which became the beginning of our family!
Sergey, thank you! It's not just photos, it's something more for us ...
We wish you success and good people!
Sergey, you are absolutely highly professional and friendly-welcome photographer. We are so happy to work with you. Photos are magical and full of tenderness!
Sergey is wonderful photographer. Our wedding photosession was friendly and easy going. Sergey is a real professional in his field.
Fantastic person! Fantastic pictures! Fantastic memories!
All the best from
Egor & Iana
I don't have enough words to express how happy we are that Sergey was our wedding photographer. First of all, for us was not just important to get beautiful photos, but also, we want to spend our special day with nice people. Sergey was very professional, calm and of course very nice) We did all the photos without rush, with not much posing, the whole process was very pleasant and natural, so that we could enjoy every moment of our wedding day. And of course, the results of Sergey’s job is even better that we even dreaming of. Each photo is full of love. Sergey caches tiny moments that are so precious that it is impossible to look at these photos without tears. We have made the right choice, and we will definitely do it one more time, for our next important day.
We thought that we are not photogenic people at all so we didn't like taking photos except for some selfies, that's why we thought that it would be a real challenge for us. But thanks to Sergey we relaxed and enjoyed the process!
We are very satisfied with the result! The pictures are so natural and candid! You managed to capture the most important moments and emotions!
We wish you good luck and success!
Sergey, thank you very much for the work you’ve made! We are so happy that we chose you! Not only you are the great professional, but a really great and friendly person! It was very easy to interact and work with you. Our cheeks hurt from smiling and laughing all day long after the wedding!
What can be better that an elegantly dressed photographer who does his best, who calms you when you are nervous and hurries you when you are too slow? And the most important thing is that he feels the people whom he is shooting.
Sergey, you are amazing! We are really glad that we chose you as our wedding photographer! We fully loved to work with you and now we are enjoying watching our pictures! Our photo shoot was very easy and comfortable for us, we also appreciate your help in making us look like models . So we will be glad to recommend you to our friends!
We are very grateful to Sergey for the wonderful photos! Sergey is a very tactful, intelligent, easy-going person and a real professional. Before the photo session we were a little worried, but everything went so easily that we didn't notice how the time flew by.
The result of our joint work is that we like all photos and each of them saved a bit of joy of our day.
Sergey is awesome! He is a very hardworking and detailed oriented wedding artist that is innovative as the same time. He captured the best moments in our wedding! Working with Sergey was one of the highlights of our big day. I definitely highly recommend to have him in our wedding!
Sergey was our wedding photographer and we made totally right choice. From the first meeting it was clear that Sergey is a professional, moreover he is very polite, punctual and attentive to all details. To add that he has great sense of humour and perfect taste. It was very pleasant and comfortable to work with him in such an important day for us and the result was great! He caught all the moments of the day from the best side! His photos are full of emotions and sense so that when we look at them we feel this wonderful day again. Sergey is a talented photographer who is passionate about his job. We would definitely work with him again! This is a person you can trust any important event and be sure about the result. Sergey, we want to say a BIG thank you! It was a great pleasure and luck to have you on our special day! Thank you for these touching and very beautiful photos and slide show! It is a work of art! With warm regards fromAlexander&Sofiya.
Our experience with Sergey, from beginning to end, was wonderful. He had exceeded our expectations, not only with the quality of his work, but his diligence, patience, and level of service. Sergey was punctual, fun, organized and helped us connect with the camera. It did not seem matter the time of day (morning, afternoon, evening or night), he utilized the lighting to capture aesthetically stunning moments that will last us a lifetime. Every hour was the "golden hour" with Sergey behind the camera.
We would like to thank Sergey for capturing the most important moments of our wedding in such a magical way! He turned out to be not only a real professional photographer but a very nice guy! His professionalism is shown in great pictures as well as in the interaction and communication with the couple, which is so important! He knows not only the best angle and pose for you, but how to cheer you up, make you laugh and feel relaxed. That's why his photos are so lively and emotional!
Thank you for sharing this day with us and making such a great memory!
We are so happy that Sergey was our wedding photographer! In spite of our excitement, embarrassment and not knowing how to pose, he made fantastically beautiful photos. Besides, he managed to capture all the details on the wedding (some of which we didn’t notice ourselves). Now, when we look through the photos we feel the atmosphere and positive vibes of that day again.
We are very grateful that you helped us to save that very important day in our memories!
Sergey is a very gifted photographer who has a great imagination, use of color grading and created unique compositions. When we got the pictures back in 2 months we were extremely happy with the end results and were also very happy to receive more pictures than quoted. The photos were gorgeous and he managed to perfectly capture so many important moments.
Sergey's direction, along with his wife, made us feel relaxed and never rushed. His response time in emails was quick, he communicated well and was patient. We always felt that he listened to our requests.
Since we planned everything ourselves, Sergey gave us fantastic insight and suggestions for how to make our wedding day timeline run as smoothly as possible. He thought of details we never would never have even considered, such as where the sun would be when we said our vows outside.
We feel fortunate to have booked such a high caliber photographer within our budget and cannot praise his work enough.
For many pairs it takes time to find a photographer but not for us. I knew from the very beginning that I want to work with Sergey. I saw his photos in the web and understood that his style fits us perfectly. But style is not everything, if you feel uncomfortable with the person - nothing will work. For example I didn't want to be treated like a pink unicorn, you know. Working with Sergey was just great. He was calm, informative, punctual and very helpful. On the wedding day I was 100% sure that our photos will be just gorgeous and I don't need to worry at all about where/what/how he is doing. And they definitely are unbelievable amazing! Thank you very much Sergey, its was a pleasure to meet you! Everything was 'OGNENNO' :)
Sergey is INCREDIBLE. We are absolutely IN LOVE with our wedding photos. We were looking for someone with a candid/photojournalist style who could do more than add filters to mediocre photos on Photoshop. SERGEY IS THAT MAN! He uses quality equipment (he had 4 different lenses on a belt that he was switching in an out through the whole shoot), and has the most artistic eye! He turned our simple, small destination wedding into a beautifully documented art piece. Thank you Sergey!!!!
Wow, where to begin? Our photos look magical, absolutely beautiful and everything we could have asked for. We thank you whole heartedly for the day you spent with us capturing memories that we will take forever. The time and effort you and Anastasia put in was valued and highly appreciated. From skype calls, a personally meeting in London and extra all the extra special touches on the day. You are truly talented.
Thank you
Sergey is a talented photographer with great sense of beauty. He does not just make pictures but creates real masterpieces like an artist. His photos are really seems to be alive.
Our wedding photos are amazing and we are happy having made the right choice while choosing a photographer. Sergey is very pleasant and easy to work with.
Sergey, we are glad to meet such a professional like you! Thank you for the emotions and valuable memories forever!
We would like to thank Sergey and Nastia for their exceptional work and fantastic photos full of emotions!
When we planned our wedding and searched for a photographer, it was very important for us to find the right person to reduce the number of things that could go wrong during such an important day. Sergey was just a perfect fit: a professional photographer with a great sense of humor and generally nice person.
Since our first talk he continuously helped us with the planning, suggested things we should think about and details to consider for the best wedding photos. Our wedding was planned outdoors near the water. When Sergey and Nastia came to Stockholm we went to the wedding location ahead of time, where we got further suggestions on such things as prefered direction to face, e.t.c. things one normally don’t thinks about.
And during the wedding day Sergey and Nastia were with us from the morning until the end of the celebration. We are still remembering Sergey’s encouraging jokes during such an overwhelming day, and even when it seemed that things would not work (for example photos of the groom did not fit in the schedule), Sergey always found and suggested solutions. A photographer able to convince the bride that “everything will be allright” is priceless. Special thanks to Nastia for her help with the dress, hair during the wedding and all the support!
