Yaneck was great to work with because he was on time and always attentive to my needs. He was also super friendly to my bridal party. He was always calm and collective, even when I got a little frazzled and the pictures came out amazing. Loved working with him and would definitely hire him again.
Yaneck and Sasha were very professional and informational during our engagement and wedding photos. After learning how to pose during our engagement sessions our wedding poses were a breeze! Bonus! Handles drunk guests very well and had all our photos for us in a USB. Thank you Yaneck and Sasha!
Absolutely stunning work.
Yaneck's mix of quickness, efficiency, work ethic, and technical knowledge was sublime.
He possesses an acumen of field lighting knowledge which is unparalleled. We were in disbelief at the look of the photos simply on the back of the camera before any post-production.
I have a fair bit of training in photography and was simply blown away by what Yaneck could do in such a small amount of time. He was doing things that would take other pros an hour just to set up.
I have been recommending him to everyone I know who is getting married.
Furthermore, I intend to work with him for future family shoots, etc.
I am unable to recommend him highly enough. 15/10!
Hire Yaneck!!
You won’t be disappointed!
Where do I start- we hired Yaneck last minute. Long story. BUT I should’ve hired him from the get go. I was VERY picky about the style of photos I wanted and looking at his work I knew he’d nail it. He did!!
You can tell he’s got mad skills because we spent very little time away from the wedding because he was quick with our shots. He knows what’s he’s doing and the photos show for it!
I wish I can post a few photos on here!
Yaneck and Sasha were an absolute blast to work with!!! Both my husband and I were pretty camera shy, so they helped us out with some pointers and we were so comfortable on the wedding day. They were a little more expensive than some other photographers out there, but their work did not disappoint! They really took the time to sit down with us to help us choose and design our wedding album. They managed to get such beautiful shots throughout the wedding day without even noticing they were there. I liked that they didn't continuously pull us away during the reception to get pictures, but still managed to get such awesome pictures! I would definitely consider WASIO in the future if we ever wanted to get professional pictures taken!!! Thank you WASIO for creating such beautiful memories for me and my husband!
Yaneck and Sasha are the best photographers EVER! I love their work so much, I can't even describe my excitements with words. They are very easy to work with, and they produce amazing photos of me and my wife. And I got to tell you, it's extremely hard to make me look good in a photo. I had my entire life to try it. But Yaneck and Sasha did their magic. They guided me and my wife on how to pose for a certain pictures, and they chose all the beautiful wedding/engagements shot area, and BAM! magic happens
Honestly, on top their top quality photography skills, their real value comes with the printing of the pictures. The pictures that came out were really amazing. We bought their professionally print out canvas pictures from Italy that we hang at our home right now. They would help us choose the series of pictures to be printed that would tell a story and it works! The pictures are so clean and crisp, and they look artpieces that can be put in any home.
Honestly, I'm not great with words, and all I can say is that they are amazing, and I couldn't have asked for better photographers. They are soooo worth the investments.
We really enjoyed working with Magdalena and Marcin! They captured big beautiful moments of the wedding day and the quieter and genuine looks between the bride and groom. They'd be a great addition to your wedding team!
WASIO was recommended to us by our friends who also used them for their wedding, and I'm so glad we booked them too! From the very start, Yaneck and Sasha were communicative and accommodating. They are so incredibly talented and such a fun couple to work with! They kept our group laughing and having a good time through the whole event! The wedding day goes by so fast, so I'm so thankful to Yaneck and Sasha for capturing all our best moments beautifully so we can relive the day <3
It has taken us over 2 years to finally make this review. Magdalena and Marcin are one of the most genuine, funniest, and most caring couple that we know. Aside from how wonderful they are as a couple, as photographers we do not have the words to express our deepest gratitude towards them. Our engagement pictures were beautiful. They were very understanding on how awkward it can be in front of a camera. They made us feel very comfortable and suggested looks and positions throughout our sessions.
Our wedding photos were absolutely stunning. They created our story through pictures. They were able to capture every moment at every angle. They both were great at capturing all of the guest naturally. There was no posing or SMILE FOR THE CAMERA!
Magdalena and Marcin are extremely easy to work with and are willing to do anything and go anywhere to capture moments that mean so much to us. We highly recommend these artists and would love to work with them again to capture all of our life’s milestones.
Yaneck & Sasha are amazing to work with, and do exceptional work. My husband and I had them shoot our engagement and wedding photos. I am by no means photogenic, or really even comfortable around cameras, but Yaneck made sure that with just a few tips and corrections, I was comfortable and having fun and looking great - which who can complain, right?
Choosing Wasio as our wedding photographers was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Marcin & Magda worked together so gracefully and knew exactly how to get the perfect shots. We did both engagement pictures and wedding pictures with them and were ecstatic with both. People keep asking us who our photographer was, and I am proudly linking them to Wasio’s page. They were so quick and responsive with any questions or concerns we had, and arrived early to both shoots. Thank you guys and we will always recommend !!
My husband and I worked with Marcin & Magdalena for both our engagement photos as well as our wedding photos. One word: Flawless!! These two are so easy to work with and truly pay attention to your wants & needs. The great thing about them is that if you just let them do their thing, they capture it all in the most perfect way. Everyone who has seen our photos, always asks who are photographers were. We are so happy with their work and cannot wait to work with them for all of our events in the future. I highly recommend Marcin & Magdalena for your next event!!
Yaneck and Sasha are absolutely amazing and we could not have asked for better wedding photographers! Our photos are stunning and beyond what we could have imagined. We got married in October and the outdoor pictures are breathtaking - Yaneck and Sasha really knew how to bring out the fall colors. They have great artistic ability and are able to curate beautiful poses, backdrops, looks, and emotion. We have two puppies who came for some photos and they got the best shots with them. They captured all our special moments and brought them to life beautifully. We also had engagement photos as part of our package and those were gorgeous as well.
Yaneck and Sasha took a lot of time to discuss our style, preferences, and visions for the photos. After the wedding they personally walked us through the final photos and made a YouTube video of our pics, which made us feel like we were reliving the day. Both are also really fun, lighthearted, and enjoyable to be around, which is great to have on your wedding day! We felt completely at ease and comfortable with them. We could not have been happier and highly recommend Wasio for weddings for any occasion!
I've been referring Wasio Photography to my clients for years now. They always pay so much attention to detail with every photo that they take. The lighting that they use is incredible... You don't even need to get your photos retouched! Most recently I referred Wasio to my Chicago clients, who had their wedding at Patrick Haley Mansion. This venue is full of unique places for some amazing shots and Sasha and Yaneck found them all!! The photos all came out so breathtaking. I will continue to send my clients to Wasio.
Yaneck and Sasha are so warm and kind and produce top notch quality work. You cannot go wrong with them and will most likely love their work too.
Yaneck and Sasha truly take the time to get to know you as a couple. They’re experienced, and add a helpful, proactive voice to not only the photography side of the event, but the planning and thought process as well.
Their work speaks for itself - like I said, they’ll know you as a couple if they’re shooting your wedding, and their work will reflect the comfort level they inspire with the clients.
They’re also timely with producing their work to you, and responsive to communications.
“Working” with Sasha and Yaneck has by far been one of my favorite parts of wedding planning. I put “working” in quotes because spending time with them is always so much fun. They made us feel 100% comfortable from the start. We met them at a Bridal Show and while there are MANY photographers at those events, WASIO Photography’s work stood out to my husband and I from the start. Their images from Chicago are phenomenal with crisp, sharp colors and unique vantage points that may have otherwise gone unnoticed to the untrained, unartistic eye. We knew they would bring the same life to our wedding photos in San Diego and they did! Our photographs are some of the most beautiful images I’ve ever seen; each image is a work of art.
I admit that while I never once had doubt about their expertise and abilities, I did go through a bit of sticker shock when we were presented with the wedding package price quote. After talking with my husband, and communicating our budget concerns with Sasha and Yaneck, it became crystal clear that booking with them was the right thing to do. We absolutely got what we paid for and then some through countless hours of the time they spent photographing us for our engagement shoot, communicating with us throughout our wedding planning process, meeting us at our venue for a walk-through, doing an add-on surprise boudoir photo shoot at our venue with Sasha, photographing us all day on our wedding day, all of the editing they did, and of all that, the best thing that came from booking with them is a new life-long friendship we’ve created. I absolutely adore Sasha & Yaneck for the people they are.
I have been singing their praises ever since we booked with them and I am honored to write a review to share with those of you considering working with them. I am in awe of their talent, passion for photography, love for each other, and genuine care for their clients. To work with Sasha and Yaneck Wasio is a huge honor and blessing.
As a vendor in the wedding industry, we get the opportunity to work with different photographers all of the time and we have to say that Yaneck was the perfect photographer to partner with! Not only did he take the time to understand our vision from the beginning, he communicated throughout the whole process and the pictures were delivered to us in just two weeks. We can't thank you enough for making our vision come to life!
Marcin and Magda from WASIO are amazing photographers. I love all our photos. I had the tradition big Indian wedding and they captured everything beautifully. They came prepared and ready for anything. They are so talented and professional. On top of it, they are a fun and beautiful couple that my husband and admired throughout the day.
We loved Magda and Marcin! They are so easy to work with and they truly love what they do. We booked them for both our engagement and wedding photos. Our engagement photos turned out absolutely gorgeous and we can't wait to see our wedding photos! I also did a boudoir photo shoot with Magda as she has her own side business, and my husband loved them! Definitely recommend Wasio!!
Yaneck and Sasha are absolutely incredible to work with! They came all the way from San Diego to photograph our wedding in Chicago and we are so glad they did cause they did an INCREDIBLE job!! They are such a passionate couple who are just perfect at what they do and so easy to work with!! They go all the way out to make sure you are comfortable and everything is going the way you want! Our photos look FABULOUS! We cant wait to get our album with them! Also, my mother and sister were not able to attend my wedding due to visa issues as they live overseas which was a very heartbreaking thing for me. Yaneck and Sasha managed to photoshop them into one of our family photos which made me soooo happy! What can I say- if you are looking for the perfect photographers then you should pick them!
I cannot say enough good things about Yanak and Wasio Photography. I am a wedding planner and have had the pleasure of working with him on a couple of photo shoots that are featured in San Diego Style Weddings magazine. His photos are absolutely gorgeous. He really knows what he is doing and is super easy to work with. He is on time, professional and really puts the couple he is photographing at ease. He has a great eye to get good shots. I highly recommend him.
What can I say, they are amazing! From our engagement photo shoot through the city, to our wedding day, Marcin and Magdalena captured every detail you could imagine. Our wedding photos were very important to us and we knew we had to have the best and we did. We had a bridal party of 20 and they were able to get everyone focused so we didn't run behind, which all brides know is key on wedding day. If we could get married all over again choosing Wasio would still be at the top of our list. They are extremely professional with years of experience and it shows throughout there work. Don't overthink it, book Wasio now!
Yaneck and Sasha were wonderful. They listened to our desire and the type of photo we want. They have the instinct to find the best angles, the perfect lighting and the framing in their photos. They were able to capture our personality in our wedding photo. They were so easy to work with, we could not asked for a better wedding photographer. we highly recommend them to anyone.
We booked Sasha and Yaneck to shot our wedding and we loved working with both of them! They showed up on time to every single location and were very professional during whole 12 hour day. They captured so many special moments from and they were both awesome to work with. We had our photos back within a month and we just can't recommend them highly enough!
My fiance and I first met Sasha and Yaneck during a friends wedding whom they were taking pictures of. At first, we completely fell in love with the two of them for being so friendly and personable. When we learned that they were the photographers for the wedding, we told ourselves that the second we get engaged, we are definitely giving them a call. Sure enough, that year, we got engaged and quickly reached out to Sasha and Yaneck. I firmly believe that being comfortable and having chemistry with your photographers is extremely important when it comes to your pictures. Sasha and Yaneck listened to all of our requests and did exactly what we wanted when it came to the style of the photos. They also made it extremely FUN! They are truly an amazing couple, their work speaks for itself. It is absolutely perfect and they both make sure that the pictures turn out as best as they can! You will not only adore your pictures, but you will also love the process of working with Wasio!
From the moment we met with Marcin and Magda, we knew they would be our photographers. They were so welcoming, warm and professional. The amount of talent they have can’t be put into words. Our wedding day flew by and don’t really remember much. Looking back on our photos literally brought our wedding day back to life. Everyone who saw our photos said they should be publish in a magazine . We couldn’t be happier with our decision. Choose Wasio photography. They are literally the best. Worth every penny!
Sasha and Yaneck went above and beyond to make sure our photos were perfect for us as a newly engaged couple. This is my second time shooting with the Wasio team and I couldn’t be more pleased or thankful. Thank you for perfecting the smallest toughest, from poses to edits.
The results truly depict their hard work and expertise.
Working with Marcin & Magdalena for our engagement session was a dream. They were so attentive to detail and to our needs, fun to be around, easy to talk with, and most importantly great photographers. They are very quick to respond to our emails too, which is super nice. We would highly recommend them for all your photo needs!
I would highly recommend Wasio Photography to any of you future brides looking for professional and talented wedding photographer. Magda and Marcin photographed our engagement and wedding. They are fun to work with. They give us some tips and made us comfortable in front of the camera. We are very happy with our pictures they turned out great.
Completely amazing I cannot wait to get my photos back!! So easy to work with this dream team
Yaneck and Sasha are so fantastic!! They photographed my husband and I for a celebration dinner we were hosting in Pacific Beach, and the photos came out amazing. First of all, they are hilarious and such an adorable couple!! They had us laughing the entire time, which made it so much easier for us to get comfortable. They were really accommodating and easy to work with. Yaneck is so creative and had us take photos in places I would never have thought- and they all turned out great! We are so happy and absolutely cannot wait to order prints to hang up. Thank you so much!!!
Completely amazing by my wedding photos. I was lucky enough to have found Wasio photography by accident however it turned into a wonderful blessing. Sasha and Yanek did everything and more to make this important element in my wedding more than I could have ever dreamed. They payed close attention to all of my request and detail to beautiful and artistic photos. I would recommend them over and over again to anyone who wants photos beyond beauty and detail for their one special day!!!
INCREDIBLY TALENTED - Where to begin... picking a wedding photographer is truly one of the most important decisions you make in the wedding process. You have to consider a lot of things, professionalism, good energy, has the artist within to capture those perfect shots and QUICKLY. There are so many moments that happen and happen fast so you need them captured in their authentic moment and Magda and Marcin truly did just that. They don't just quickly capture a moment in time but they do so while telling a story and making sure everyone looks their best. I don't know how they did it, we have received so many compliments from family and friends on how amazing their work truly is. I cannot begin to recommend them enough. If you are on the fence on selecting WASIO, don't be! You will not regret it. I am so happy I chose them and I now forever have wedding pictures that truly tell a beautiful story.
Side note, my now husband truly does not like pictures, he hates posing and being told to smile. The fact that WASIO could capture him and I looking amazing and in love and laughing is beyond me. They made it happen.
The BEST photographers! Sasha and Yaneck did our engagement and wedding photos and they are incredible. They are so passionate about their work and take pride in taking beautiful photographs. I especially appreciate their guidance during our pictures to help us get our best angles. We've only had a preview so far of our wedding pictures, and I can already tell that they are going to be amazing. These two are so fun to work with and I would recommend them to anyone and everyone.
Our wedding is gorgeously immortalized in a stunning collection of photos that captured every posing and candid moment. We are extremely satisfied with WASIO's expertise!
From the start, Yaneck and Sasha have been amazing to work with. They are super fast with responding to emails and phone calls. The attention they pay to detail is amazing. Yaneck and Sasha took both our engagement and wedding photographs. We couldn't be happier with the way everything turned out. If you want an amazing experience and be in love with your images, WASIO is the way to go!
It took me a while to find the perfect photographer to do boudoir photos with as a gift to my future hubby. I needed someone who made me feel comfortable, who had a classy studio, and who didn't break the bank. I was referred to Magdalena by my photographer after talking with so many boudoir photographers because they didn't check off all three of the things I was looking for. However, Magdalena ended up going above and beyond in each of those areas. Her studio is classy with exposed brick walls, natural light, and elegant furniture. She gets to know you while you get ready, I did my makeup trial there before the shoot and she even gave me a glass of wine! She gave me gentle direction during the shoot and many compliments, I mean what girl doesn't like compliments? And she offered various albums, prints, and other packages with the photos to help me find which one best fit my budget. Overall I would choose her again and again and recommend her to any woman looking to get boudoir photos and even make a new friend. She's a lovely person inside and out! Highly recommend Wasio Boudoir!
My husband and I met with a few photographers and we just weren't impressed. My husband found WASIO and made an appointment. We met with Yaneck and immediately felt comfortable. We booked Yaneck and Sasha that same night. We loved our engagement pictures and loved our wedding photos. The quality of the images are so perfect!
Just extraordinary! Sasha and Yaneck go above and beyond your expectations in every way. They are quick to respond, thorough in answering your questions and very organized. They have an eye for creative and beautiful settings and photographs. They know what makes you look good. Super personable, funny and great to work with. They're work is astonishing. We can't stop looking at our wedding pictures! I highly recommend WASIO. Guaranteed you will not be disappointed.
What an incredible experience! I chose Magdalena of Wasio for two reasons. One, I've worked with her before for my engagement and wedding photography, and two, for her incredible prospective when it comes to boudoir photography! I was nervous at first but Magdalena was very reassuring and made me feel extremely comfortable. She offered many suggestions on outfits and ideas, and worked with what I had in mind as well. Throughout the session Magdalena would show me a few glimpses of photos on her camera as encouragement. She has a great eye that could make a woman of any shape or size feel beautiful. I chose to do mine as a surprise gift to my husband for our 5 year wedding anniversary and a gift to myself for my 30th birthday. This was a very rewarding experience and I definitely recommend Magdalena. Every woman should do this at least once, even if it is just for yourself!
Magdalena did my Wasio Boudoir photo shoot and she made the whole process easy, comfortable, and enjoyable. As someone who is on the shy and conservative side I wasn't sure how a boudoir sesh for my husband-to-be would work for me but I had a blast and can't stop looking at my photos; they turned out very classy, elegant, and sexy. Not showing anyone the finished product is by far the hardest part of my wedding planning. Working with Magdalena makes me wish I found her sooner so she could photograph our wedding. She is very skilled and is great at giving direction. I would highly recommend a boudoir photo shoot with Magdalena if not for your future spouses but for yourself.
Finding the right wedding photographer is something that can be a stressful process. However, that absolutely was not the case with WASIO. They absolutely made the process enjoyable with their friendly demeanor, flexibility, artistic creativity and level of professionalism throughout the event. Yaneck and Sasha not only captured every precious moment, they were able to enhance it with pictures that were truly amazing. I would be hard-pressed to find another photography team that I would feel as comfortable and safe capturing all the precious moments that occur during a wedding than our WASIO photography team. Thank you so much for all of your efforts and hard work in delivering such a wonderful product.
Talented, artistic, professional, responsive, FUN! These are just a few ways we would describe Marcin and Magdalena at Wasio. We absolutely loved working with these two and are so grateful that they were the photographers we chose to capture our wedding last September!
Marcin and Magdalena were extremely welcoming and friendly. From the very start we felt comfortable with these two. They seemed genuinely interested in us and in our day. We are not professional models by any means (all though sometimes M&M made us feel like it :)) so it was very important to us that we could trust and feel at ease around our photographers. These two, with their witty husband and wife banter and fun personalities, make for such a comfortable, happy environment on such an exciting day!
It was really nice having an engagement session as part of our package. Not all photographers that we researched included this (nor did they include an album in their packages like Wasio does!).
The two gave great direction on how to “pose,” but still look natural. Like I said, not models here :), so we really needed this. And on the wedding day, we never felt like we were interrupted or missed out on moments for pictures. M&M captured amazing candid shots, which was something that was really important to us.
They truly went above and beyond. In addition to our wedding package, they created beautiful blogs for both our engagement session as well as our wedding. These meant so much to us! So many friends and family would ask to see our wedding pictures and these were great ways to show them the highlights of the day.
We also really appreciated how responsive and accommodating Marcin was. He always responded to emails promptly and was very helpful with one off questions/requests we had.
Now the most important reason why we’d recommend Wasio – our wedding pictures are absolutely stunning! Best way we can describe them is sophisticated, artistic and gorgeous. It is like they came right out of a magazine! Between the candid shots capturing how we felt the moment of our first look, the beautiful images of us complimented by the architecture of the city and the expressions they caught on our dancing guests’ faces – Marcin and Magdalena truly nailed it!
Marcin and Magdalena captured our day and our memories perfectly through their pictures! We would definitely recommend these two to anyone looking to hire a wedding photographer!
WASIO photographed our wedding back in August and the pictures turned out amazing!! We worked with Marcin and Magda. They made us feel so comfortable right from the beginning and they were so easy to work with. They photographed our engagement pictures as well which also turned out amazing! They are extremely talented and the nicest people! So happy I chose WASIO to photograph the most important day of my life. The memories will fade but these photographs will last a lifetime. Their talent and attention to detail really shows through the images they capture. You will not find this kind of quality work anywhere else, trust me! Thank you so much Marcin & Magda! You guys are the best!
Yaneck and Sasha were amazing from the time of our first meeting (prior to selecting them to shoot our wedding) to current! Our photos turned out better than I could have ever expected! Also, during the wedding, they were so stealthy! I didn't even notice them at the ceremony yet they captured it perfectly! Highly recommend them for any event!
I will never let any of my friends use anyone else! From the engagement session, through the wedding, through the photo review session, Wasio proved they were the best of the best! I am 100% happy with their service. Love Wasio!
Yaneck and Sasha are a remarkable team and truly talented professionals. We are absolutely thrilled with the quality of their work and would highly recommend them to others. We appreciated their humor and efficiency throughout wedding day. I am very hesitant to write reviews and would not offer a 5 star review lightly. Photography is certainly an investment. If the pricing scheme is within your budget, I highly encourage you to consider this company for your photography needs. Check out the online wasio blog for samples of their work and make an appointment to meet the team in person. Thanks Sasha and Yaneck!
Wonderful and professional people
My fiancé and I are leaving for China so we decided to take photos here in Chicago, where we met and fell in love. My fiancé himself is an amateur photographer and he is very picky about choosing the right studio. We browsed through almost all Chicago-based photographers' websites and were attracted by WASIO's classic art style. After our first conversation we found Yaneck is a humorous and passionate guy, and we believe it is a key to a pleasant experience. We decided to entrust them our engagement session and also a pre wedding session, and they both turned out great! We totally enjoyed working with Yaneck and Sasha, they are not only easygoing but also professional. If we'll ever come back to USA again, we hope they will shoot for our anniversary!
Where do I begin to describe my experience with WASIO photography. Let me tell you, Sasha and Yaneck are so cute together and we had so much fun shooting with them. I got the photoshoot reserved online in San Diego and had never met these two. And when we met it was a good experience. We were running late with some car trouble. But they were very supportive. When we met them and said sorry about our difficulty to be on time. They said they just used that time to get some coffee. They gave enough time and good interest in our photoshoot. They showed some of the amazing pics on the view finder. They also suggested some pose and brought some surreal effect on the pics. They made the pictures looked like otherworldly with the nice background. We are looking forward to use their service again. And we highly recommend anyone who is looking for good experience and excellent photoshoot.
We love Wasio! We had the pleasure of having Marcin and Magda, who make you feel welcome from the first meeting you have with them. They are very professional, but keep it fun! The pictures are beautiful and we are very happy with everything they have done for us.
We were looking for a quality photographer for our wedding and found it with Wasio. Marcin and Magda were wonderful to work with, making sure every shot was perfect and timeless. They combine talent, technique, and good direction that gets results. On the job, their assertive instructions make taking really good pictures seem easy. We are so impressed and happy with our photos and so are our friends and family.
Wasio Photography is hands down the best all around! We absolutely loved working with Yaneck & Sasha for our wedding! Not only are our pictures incredible, but they were amazing on the day of our wedding. Their personalities are great, so they kept us laughing throughout the day and put us at ease during staged photos.
We’ve received so many compliments from our guests on our Wasio Photography and each one of them is completely accurate. Sasha & Yaneck are your wedding dream team and we’re so happy they were a part of our day. Thank you so much for the beautiful pictures and the lifetime memories! We cannot stop looking at our pictures!
If you are looking for a wedding photographer, you can stop looking! Marcin and Magdalena of WASIO photography did an AMAZING job capturing our special day. Not only were the photos beautiful, but the entire experience from start to finish was a blast.
To start, Marcin and Magdalena invited us to their studio and really made us feel comfortable with the entire process. Their was no "sales pitch" but more of an informal chat about what we were looking for and how they could help.
On the day of, they allowed us to enjoy our day while capturing all the hidden moments that we now look back on and cherish. They exhibited the perfect blend of being professional in their work and having a laid back, comforting demeanor.
We were blown away when we received our final photos. They are absolutely amazing... Just like the photographers.
We thoroughly enjoyed our engagement photo session with Yaneck & Sasha and were extremely happy with the results! Yaneck & Sasha were professional and responsive throughout the booking/planning process. On the day of, they made us feel extremely comfortable and showed a dedication to making sure they got the best shots possible. They were fun, engaging and consistently went out of their way for us - including making time to continue our session the following day when logistical issues prevented us from shooting at one of our desired locations. Lastly, the photos turned out great - extremely high quality and we were so impressed with what they were able to capture. They also had a quick turnaround time and made it easy for us to access the photos. I highly recommend WASIO for any occasion. Thanks again, Yaneck & Sasha!
I am someone who loves pictures and wanted nothing but the best for my engagement and wedding photos. WASIO photography was the best, and I am extremely happy to have worked with them for my special day. What initially drew me in to choose them over other photographers was the talent and quality of their work. The signature edit on the photos was definitely worth it and made our pictures really look amazing and artistic.
They were able to reflect what was important to us and our families in our photos and capture our personalities because they actually took the time to get to know us; they were personable and really made us feel like they were our lifelong friends. At our engagement photos Yanek and Sasha took the time to pose us well and make our pictures so beautiful, elegant, and dramatic despite the unexpected downpour outside.
I also had the pleasure of working with Marcin and Magda on our wedding day, who were just as talented and friendly! Unfortunately, Yanek had broken his rib a few days before the wedding and wasn’t able to make it, but Sasha made sure that all of our requests were met and that another photographer, Vito, was also on site for the day. The team jumped right in and knew exactly how to pose me and what we wanted. Everything not only went according to plan, but my pictures turned out so beautiful that I am still admiring at them on a daily basis. They truly captured the happiness and love that I felt that day.
I would highly recommend working with WASIO photography because of the genius talent in photography and for their personability. Furthermore, they are very easy to reach and were always quick to respond whenever I contacted them with a question.
Marcin and Magda were wonderful! They made us feel so comfortable and at ease. They worked efficiently to get a variety of wonderful shots. Their help with posing made our pictures look natural and effortless. Their non-invasive style allowed them to capture all the intimate moments without disturbing them.
Marcin and Magda are wonderful to work with. Most of us are not professional models so it certainly helped getting pointers on what to do. Our photos came out beautifully. I would highly recommend them to others looks for a wedding or any special occasion. Let's not forget, they both got soaking wet in the rain for us to get some great shots!
We could not have been happier with Marcin and Magda. Posing for pictures can be somewhat of an awkward experience, but they went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and feeling confident about the pictures. During our engagement session, they stayed for extra time to make sure we got all the shots we wanted at different locations. They were very organized and had a great questionnaire to make sure we got all of the photos we wanted, while sticking to a tight timeline. The photographs we have received so far have looked amazing! We cannot wait to see the rest! We would highly recommend them!
Hundreds of years ago when photography was yet to be discovered, there was art. Not everyone could become an artist; it required a great deal of talent, skill and artistic sensibility. When searching for someone to work with on our engagement session, we were looking for an artist. There are many photographers out there but very few of them are true artists. Artists like Magda & Marcin from Wasio Photography. Magda & Marcin are photographers who paint stories of love, passion and commitment through the lenses of their cameras. They bring out what's best in you and make you fall in love with your partner over and over again. And they do it with so much grace, passion and energy!! They have an incredible ability to capture fleeting moments and precious emotions. And what's more important in an engagement or a wedding session? It is all about love. Magda and Marcin held it still for us so we can go back to it over and over again in our most beautiful memories. Thank you Magda & Marcin for the amazing engagement session!!
When Andrew and I started planning our wedding, the most important thing for us was photography. We had originally booked with another photographer, but realized that we wanted someone that would better match our style and would pay very close attention to detail. After searching 50+ Chicago photographers, we came across Wasio and without hesitation we contacted them and booked that day.
Where do I start? From the engagement shoot up to our wedding day, Magda and Marcin treated us like movie stars. More than that, they treated us like they would treat their own families: with lots of care, perfecting each shot to make sure that we only got the best. This is absolutely what every bride and groom deserves during this process.
As a bride on her wedding day, they made me feel so beautiful and confident. Moreover, they were able to capture very beautiful moments of me and my husband; the secret moments between a couple that can only been seen by someone who is really paying attention. Good photographers will bring that out in you and will capture those moments, which is why it is so important to go with top of the line photography like Wasio.
Our big day is over, but we now have the most beautiful and precious photos to forever look at. Thank you Magda and Marcin for treating us like gold...you've left and imprint on our hearts.
We look forward to hiring Wasio again in the future...for example...BABY PICTURES!!!!
We just got our wedding pictures! What can I say …. WOW!
Prior to meeting Yaneck Wasiek and Sasha Wasiek my perception on taking professional pictures was not the best one. It was always a horribly boring waste of time, do what hundreds of people done before - basic copy and paste - just pick the picture you like and photoshop my faces there and lets be done :) .
What a departure from the ordinary! This was actually fun, spontaneous, creative and the guys were able to capture true emotions and excitement of the day.
I am thankful to WASIO Photography for being a huge part of our special day and capturing these special moments with such creativity and professionalism.
Thank you for your creativity, taking chances (Planetarium cafeteria pictures) and getting wet. Thank you for making this extraordinary effort and turning a rainy day in to a brightly captured memory.
THANK YOU!
I can't even begin to explain how wonderful Sasha and Yaneck are! They were the photographers for our family portraits twice and we knew right away who we wanted our wedding photographers to be. We are so happy we made that decisions because Sasha and Yaneck did a wonderful job capturing our special day. They are so talented, creative and easy to work with. The pictures look so natural as they were able to capture the special moments without making everything look posed --truly stunning photos! We felt so fortunate to have had such a wonderful photographers capture one of the most important times of our lives. Sasha and Yaneck, we can’t tell you how much we love our pictures. They are truly breathtaking! Thank you so much for everything! We will forever cherish the photos and look back at them and reflect on our special day.
Originally, my fiance and I didn't plan to take engagement pictures, but we're so glad we did!
Marcin and Magda were great! They were extremely friendly and personable, which was very helpful for two individuals who are not used to being in front of the camera. They were great about helping us into a pose, getting us to relax, fixing flyaways, giving direction. They have a great eye for photo locations and getting the perfect shot.
I'm so happy with the way the pictures turned out and will definitely use them again for professional photos in the future!
My husband and I got married this New Years Eve and I could not have imagined having anyone else photograph our day. Yaneck and Sasha were personable and fun while also remaining professional and delivering beautiful photographs. They listened to what we wanted while also being creative and bringing their own ideas to the table. Our photographs are absolutely stunning-- they are an incredible team!
I would highly suggest doing an engagement session with Wasio prior to any wedding as well. It helped us get to know their style and their personalities, which made posing for pictures a lot easier on the big day. Plus it was fun :) Yaneck and Sasha made it easy for us to use those proofs for our save the date card as well as little details around the reception.
I cannot speak more highly of Wasio. I highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for spectacular, creative, and fun photos. Thanks again, guys!!
Marcin and Magda are fantastic! We have used Marcin and Magda for the past 4 years. Originally we received a family photo shoot with both of them as a gift. It is the gift that keeps on giving every year. They work great together as a team and both bring different attributes to the whole experience. They are engaging, happy and make the whole experience amazing. My kids now ask when they are going to get their “photo session” with them each year. My favorite part about the pictures is how natural they look. They truly have captured my children’s personalities in all of them. The hardest part of the whole session is narrowing it down to the best ones because they truly are all fantastic. It does not matter if you are a bride, a groom, a grandparent or a small child they truly capture each individual in every picture. If you are looking for a great photographer team no matter what your occasion is, you will never be disappointed with Marcin and Magda!
After meeting with many photographers, we just knew WASIO would be the right pick for our wedding day. They were so professional in everyway. Returned emails right away and always kept in touch with us and never made us nervous about anything. We even had to reschedule our first engagement shoot with them because of a family emergency an hour before and they were so understanding. Things got a little hectic in our lives so we did our shoot a week before our wedding and not only loved our photos, received so many compliments on them but most importantly we also loved working with Magda and Marcin. They made everything fun and easy for us. Our wedding day came, everything was on schedule and with 18 pairs plus us I was a little nervous about getting everyone in pictures,but they knew exactly how to handle a bridal party that size. Again everything went perfect and they were with us till early morning and made sure to capture everything. My husband and I couldn't of picked a better photographer for our special day. The wedding ends and at the end of the day, all you have left is the pictures! If your looking for great quality, professionalism, and amazing personality WASIO is it!!!!! We will forever be grateful and will always refer all our friends, family and clients to them.
Thaaaank you again!
Marcin and Magda
This is the second time we have worked with Marcin and Magda and each time we are more impressed. They are professionals that have a vision that was realized to perfection. Our ideas were taken into account and with all honesty even improved upon. It was just such a pleasant experience. The mood was very relaxed and laid back. We didn’t feel like we were taking photos, but rather were enjoying the beautiful scenery while capturing the moment forever. And that is what you get to do with pictures, hold still those few fleeting precious moments. My husband does not like taking pictures and was not interested in spending his afternoon in this manner, but at the end of the session had a huge smile on his face. His smile got bigger as we received our initial photos. I know I’m a bit partial but I feel that I could see these pictures somewhere in a magazine, that’s how elegant they looked. Marcin, has a way to organize you to really work to your strengths, and Magda helps you to find the right poses and helps you to straighten up or pay attention to hand position, paying attention to all the details that make good photos become great. Marcin gave us a timeline for when we could expect our photos and sent us a few shots to get us excited for the complete set. We received our photos in a timely manner, actually a day early. So in summary, what could be better than capturing an important moment in a beautiful way, in a relaxed atmosphere with a few laughs? This was our experience both times we worked with WASIO photography. When our family gets bigger, hopefully they will be available to capture new memories. Thank You Marcin and Magda.
Marcin and Magda were our wedding photographers in November 2014. Their style emphasized "candid shots", and they went to lengths to ensure that the posed shots did not seem "stuffy". The best thing that I can say about them is that they evaluate what is in front of them and make adjustments on the fly. For example, my wife and I wanted sunrise photos for the engagement session on Lake Michigan in downtown Chicago - unfortunately the sun and clouds did not cooperate with that plan. However, Marcin noticed a puddle on the beach and had us stand between that puddle and the Lake, with downtown behind us. This had the effect, with no sun out, of getting a clear reflection of us and downtown off the puddle, which was absolutely genius and among my favorite photos. So they will take your direction but make something creative out of it. At the wedding and reception, they were not a distraction or interruption at all, which made the events flow very well. While they were not cheap, they were worth every penny. I highly recommend Marcin and Magda for your wedding, as their pictures made my wife very happy, which ultimately was the most important thing.
Working with Marcin & Magda at WASIO Photography on our wedding day was such a pleasure. They were prompt, calming to work with, professional and very fun. They had a vision for our wedding and made sure they did everything to get the pictures that we had planned, wanted and needed. They were open to suggestions for poses and worked well with our bridal party. They were able to adapt to the mannerisms of our group, making sure we got some serious pictures, but then really letting us get the funny and silly pictures we all had in mind! They were the most considerate people to work with and the value that they hold is far more than the price we ever paid for them! Best investment of our wedding planning, we couldn't have asked for a better experience! I HIGHLY recommend them to any bridal couple in search of GREAT photographers!
We used Yaneck and Sasha for our New Year's Eve wedding a little over a month ago, and the relationship we established with them over the year leading up to the wedding will last forever.
They are extremely personable and fun to hang out with. Yaneck is a master behind the camera and Sasha keeps things light and fresh. Together, they make a great duo. They also have great connections with other photographers and videographers throughout the city, so come wedding day you have a team of pros dedicated to every aspect of your wedding - from the bride and groom getting ready separately, to private photos of the family and coverage of dinner and dancing at the reception, nothing is missed.
From a photography standpoint, they can handle it all. They drove to New Buffalo, Michigan last May to do summer beach photos and handled the windy conditions and the setting sunlight with ease. On our wedding night, it was below freezing while taking photos outside on Mich Ave and down by Navy Pier, and their quick and efficient work got us through without losing any fingers, toes or tempers.
Honestly, the worst part is choosing which photos you like for your album at the end - there are too many good ones to count!
Michael and I spent most of our lives as a missed connection. We grew up within minutes of each other, attended the same high school, and even lived across the street from one another in college and dined in the same dining hall without ever meeting. When a higher power decided he'd had enough of us playing dumb, he brought us together by literally leading Michael down the hall to the love of his life, in our first job as school teachers. The connection was immediate and permanent (and some may say, a long time coming.) Sharing a bond that people spend a lifetime searching for and a love that we never knew could exist, Michael and I committed to each other in marriage in front of our family and friends on July 6th, 2014. As if life couldn't get any more serendipitous for us, we were connected with the magnificent Marcin and Magda to capture the day we would never want to forget. Michael and I missed the appetizers and the dessert table and the wedding limo (which we subbed out for a 15 passenger Chevy Express van.) Marcin and Magda didn't miss a thing. They captured every touching moment, every expression of love, anticipation, and pure joy, every detail that made our day the most momentous and special one of our lives. Their love for each other, for photography, and for capturing the love of others spoke out in each and every jaw-droppingly gorgeous and emotion-filled photo they captured. Those photos fill our home, our phones, our workplace, our minds, and our hearts. They remind us not only of every detail of that special day, but also of our love and our story. What Michael and I share is something words can't express, but something Marcin and Magda were able to capture in a way that we will never be able to thank them enough for. We would (as any couple should) be honored to have them be a part of any of life's big (or small) moments to capture memories and emotions that will endure for a lifetime.
As an artist and art educator, finding the right photographer for my wedding was one of the most important tasks. I knew what I was looking for as far as quality, and I definitely found it with WASIO! After looking through the WASIO portfolio, I knew every photo would be spot on and the lighting would be perfection; I had nothing to worry about. Sasha and Yaneck are so friendly and accommodating, as soon as we met them, my husband and I knew they would be the ones to photograph our wedding. They made the entire process easy and enjoyable.
I was SO happy with Wasio Photography!! I chose them because I liked how they shot previous weddings, but was even more impressed by their professionalism. They spent all day with us on our wedding day, from our preparations through the reception. They were so friendly and charming, they felt like part of the family AND they moments they captured of us and our family/friends reflected the beauty of that day.
My fiancé and I are getting married out of the country next Spring, however we knew that we wanted engagement photos taken in Chicago. After viewing WASIO's portfolio online and speaking with Yaneck on the the phone we knew that Yaneck and Sasha would be a perfect fit! We thought that we would be incredibly awkward in front of a camera, but Yaneck and Sasha made us immensely comfortable! I couldn't be happier with the finished product and cannot wait to share our photos with family and friends!
We used WASIO Photography for our wedding in October of 2013. My husband decided that we absolutely had to use them when he read in their profile that Yaneck's first camera was manual - he felt that it was important that someone was trained to see the good picture and not just snap a bunch of shots with the digital camera and hope for the best. They have quite a talent for spotting beautiful shots and the best poses and making you feel comfortable about taking pictures - when maybe you really aren't. They are friendly and outgoing and you truly feel like friends, which makes the picture taking process that much easier. While the price is a bit high - it is well worth the money, these pictures will last a lifetime and you will not be sorry that you chose WASIO. Opt for the engagement session if you aren't comfortable around a camera, it is great practice and will ensure that you have awesome wedding pictures. Plus it lets the photographers get to know you. And if you are having a big wedding and need a second photographer, ask for Claudio - he is also amazing! We could honestly not say enough positive things about our wedding pictures. And everyone gushes over how gorgeous the pictures are!
We got married on July 13,2014 in the SOFITEL hotel chicago.We had the honor of WASIO photographer our wedding. We were looking for a very unique and talented photographers.when we met Sasha and Yaneck they went above and beyond our expectations.
They are very PROFESSIONAL that they have a beautiful studio showing all their work they have done.Also Sasha's candles makes the studio smell GORGEOUS !!!.
We don't have enough words to describe how our ENGAGEMENT PICTURES turned out.I would like to say that when we sent our save the date with our engagement pictures on it everyone was impressed of how INCREDIBLE our pictures appeared.
Our wedding day was AMAZING !!!!
On the day Yaneck and Sasha came to our wedding say earlier than we were expecting. Yaneck and Sasha helped us to pose during our wedding day.They capture the most incredible moments that will stay with us FOREVER !!!!
I would like to thank Sasha for holding my bouquet while Yaneck was taking pictures of us and not only that for your beautiful words you said to me on our wedding day
Sasha and Yaneck are very passionate photographers THEY LOVE WHAT THEY DO !!! They know how to take GORGEOUS PICTURES !!! They are very professional and fun couple
Please don't hesitate to hire them !!!! You won't regret it
It was an HONOR to have WASIO as our photographers
Thank you WASIO !!!!!!!!!!
Do not look at another photographer!!!! If you are looking for amazing pictures for your wedding, or really any event, Yaneck is the photographer you want.
I got married to my beautiful wife this past May in downtown Chicago at Pazzo's on 311 and choosing Wasio studios was one of our best decisions. From our perspective, the 2 most important things that we put a lot of emphasis on is the venue and the photographer that we choose. Just to level-set, I am very detail oriented and definitely the type to shop around before I make my final decision. So for a photographer, We met and interviewed 12 different photographer/photographer groups and without a doubt Wasio was the photographer for us.
Yaneck has an amazing eye for what will look great in pictures and was so patient with me as he instructed me through every pose (unfortunately, I am not a natural cover model). When looking for a photographer I was very critical of how creatively the photographer used light to enhance their pictures. The combo of Yaneck and Sasha was a perfect pairing for composing the picture and the lighting that was required. For our engagement session we decided to go to 2 different locations, First, we dragged both Yaneck and Sasha into the sub-zero downtown weather during the middle of Jan-Feb to shoot our photos at the Lakeshore East Dog Park with our two dogs. For our second location we walked over to the Chicago Cultural Center. For both locations, Yaneck and Sasha were amazing. They were very accommodating and were really fun to work with. Yaneck has a genuine passion for photography and it really came out during our engagement session and all the extra time he spent with us. Needless to say our engagement photos were AMAZING. We could not have asked for anything more.
For our wedding, Yaneck and Sasha actually came to our wedding venue prior to our agreed time to survey the space and envision potential photo opportunities. To me, this was a sign of a true artist and a photographer that is willing to go above and beyond. They were very flexible and professional. All of our guest loved them as we got numerous compliments about our photographer. We went to the Chicago Board of Trade and then by the Wrigley building to take pictures on a Saturday afternoon on Memorial day weekend and they were able to take phenomenal pictures with everything going on (For those of you that are not aware holiday weekends in downtown chicago is insane and a huge tourist trap). Our ceremony pictures were great along with the reception pictures. Even better we were also able to briefly step away from the reception to take several night shots in the city.
Overall, Wasio Studios (Yaneck & Sasha) is what I consider the Perfect Storm. They are crazy talented. They know how to take great pictures. They are super creative (good creative not weird creative). They are super flexible and accommodating. But the best part of the duo is that they made the whole experience fun and rewarding. They were so fun to work with that we would consider them more friends than just our photographer. As for our wedding photos, they are jaw-dropping amazing.We get compliment on our pictures all the time along with the comment "We didn't even know wedding pictures can look like this" and "These look like magazine pictures"
So again if you want no regrets, great wedding pictures, and to work with a photography duo that you can consider friends. Wasio is the obvious choice.
Yaneck and Sasha are such a great duo to have take your pictures for your wedding day. They make the engagement session fun and personal and carry that through the wedding day and post wedding sessions. We had such a great time getting to know them as people and their work speaks for itself. We're just excited to continue to use them for our yearly session for life which was part of our package!
Wasio photography did our engagement and wedding photos. Not only did we love it, but our friends and family did as well! I learned you spend quite a bit of time with the photographer, so you want to do it with someone you are comfortable with. With Wasio it was so much fun. Yanek is quite
