We absolutely loved working with Silviia for our wedding! From the very beginning, she was kind, thoughtful, and so easy to communicate with. She made us feel comfortable and cared for throughout the entire process and especially on our wedding day.
Silviia is incredibly talented and captured every special moment so beautifully. She has such a gift for catching both the little details and the genuine, candid moments that we might have otherwise missed. Looking through our photos feels like reliving our wedding day all over again, and we are so grateful to have those memories captured so perfectly.
What stood out to us most was the impression she left on everyone. She was so warm and wonderful with our guests that people still tell us, “I loved your photographer! She was so amazing!” Even after the wedding, we continue to hear how much everyone enjoyed having her there.
I would recommend Silviia to absolutely anyone getting married. She is incredibly talented, professional, thoughtful, and genuinely cares about the couples she works with. We feel so lucky to have had her capture such an important day for us, and we will cherish these memories for years to come!

unicative, effectively answering all of my questions through email. Throughout the whole day, she was very much on top of things, and it was impressive watching her set up the lighting and angles by herself. The photos came out so beautiful, with plenty of candid pictures that captured some of our absolute favorite moments from the wedding! 10/10, would have a second wedding if it meant having Silviia as our photographer again❤️

I cannot begin to tell yall how much we love Silviia. We have decided to make her our photographer, permanently, as long as she will have us! She is very kind, fast and efficient. ...
Our photos came out so lovely. We cant thank her enough for capturing our day so beautifully! She truly loves her job and you can tell by the way she expresses her work. Our photos arrived in the time she said it would, and we even got mailed several copies with a flash drive. She responds quickly, and communicates very well. All this is to say, if you want someone who is going to get all the fine details and make you feel wonderful, book with her. We have no regrets at all!
Thank you so much Silviia!

rect us smoothly and was incredibly well organized, even in the blistering Texas summer heat. She kept going with the same energy throughout the whole event and was on top of capturing all of the best moments that we wanted! We were able to get our shot list done quickly and ahead of schedule too. I appreciated how easily she directed both me and the crowds of people. She was to the point and a swift character. Because of how smoothly she works, we were able to do a lot more than I even thought was possible in the time that we hired her. Her experience shows and she definitely knows what a bride would want without being overly pushy or forceful of the moment. She knows what to look for and what to do with the scenery in mind. 100% I will be recommending her whenever my friends/family ever need a photographer. She was fantastic in person and her customer service online has been great as well.

rnia, so communication came through via text or email. She quickly reassured my wife and I that she understood our vision and offered up relevant options that would work well for our small family wedding. We negotiated a very fair contract and that was that. A week out she contacted us again to ensure all was well and we were still a go. Then, the day of the wedding. She showed up and went straight to work! Extremely professional. Very friendly. Our families thought she was a friend of ours with how comfortable she made everyone feel. She took requests and direction when requested, but then had a great focus and eye and captured some truly remarkable shots. As she was leaving she said the photos would be ready in about 5 weeks, and 4 weeks later she delivered. Everyone absolutely loves the pictures. We have some truly remarkable photographs to help remember our special day. Thank you so very much Silviia!

as effortless I could have hoped for. She was responsive and flexible to our requests. She helped us feel comfortable behind the camera. She was kind, upbeat, and very easy to work with the day of the wedding, and she didn't seem to miss a second of the action from the time she arrived to the time she left. The photos we received from her were incredible and I am absolutely thrilled we got to work with Silviia for our big day!

During the process leading up to the wedding she was very professional. She communicated clearly and answered any questions we may have had.
