It's a few months after my wedding and so I have a lot more perspecitve now than I did during the planning process-- especially in regards to what is most important and what things one can go without. The images you have from that day are, by ...far, one of the most important investments you'll make during this whole crazy, expensive process.
I am so happy I went with Sokolov. Serge is AMAZING to work with, super nice and dedicated to his craft. He will go out of his way and give 110% every time he interacts with you.
The images from our wedding were stunning. He even went back, on request, to photoshop my mother's makeup in all the pictures because the makeup artists made her look like a ghost--- he did an amazing job and really saved the day!
On your wedding day, you're going to be so excited to see all of your friends and family, the last thing you're going to do is be away from them posing for pictures (or at least your husband will complain) but Serge will make it super painless, efficient and the results are amazing. He was so sweet on our wedding day and was able to painlessly capture all the important moments without getting in the way or taking us away from the party for too long.
He's a true professional. Even my guests commented on his professionalism, awesome personality and great attitude.
The other thing-- that's so surprising-- is that he is very affordable!! I was a little hesitant and thought about going with a more expensive photographer-- wrongfully thinking more expensive may correlate to better-- but after our engagement shoot, I was so pleasently surprised and stuck with Serge-- and am so glad I did. He also spent almost 3 hours with us on that hot day and kept a great attitude throughout, encouraging my then-fiance to keep smiling for the camera.
I can continue to rave about Serge and all his talent and hard work, but the proof is in the finished product. I highly recommend Sokolov Photography
