Masha Sakhno Photographer | Reviews

I cried tears of joy!  Our photos are so beautiful, I feel like they capture us as a couple perfectly while also looking too good to be us. The day was relaxed and fun. You never know how you’re going to vibe with someone but Masha was great at making us comfortable with her and in front of the camera. I had been following her Instagram page just drooling at her style of photos but scared to pull the trigger and pay for a photo shoot. And while we were the lucky couple to win her giveaway engagement shoot I would definitely pay for her work, it’s true that you get what you pay for and her prices reflect her talent. She seriously does such beautiful work and listened to my wants while also helping to make suggestions so everything looked great. My fiancé knows how much these photos meant to me and told me to just relax and if they didn’t work we could try again but I am so thrilled with these photos I do not need a redo. We actually hope to continue using Masha for all our important life moment photos. Seriously book her you will not regret it and end up with the most beautiful memories!

We are absolutely overjoyed to write this review for our wonderful wedding photographer. As a newly married couple who chose the path of elopement, we were initially overwhelmed by the task of capturing our special day in a way that was both authentic and memorable. However, Masha turned this seemingly daunting task into a wonderfully easy and stress-free experience.

From our very first meeting, she showed nothing but the utmost professionalism. She took the time to truly understand us as a couple and what our ideal wedding day looked like. She then cultivated a timeline that was uniquely tailored to us.

What truly sets her apart though, is her distinct style of photography. The photos are more than just pictures; they are pieces of pure artwork that convey the depth of emotions we experienced on that special day. The vibrancy, the angles, the moments she chose to capture, everything was thoughtfully planned and executed. Every photo tells a story, evokes a feeling, and creates a vivid memory.

We cannot thank her enough for the extraordinary job she did. Masha exceed our expectations. We couldn't have asked for a better photographer to capture our elopement and the magic that ensued on that day.

We highly recommend her to any couple in need of a skilled and thoughtful photographer. Thank you for helping us make our special day a dream come true. You are truly a master of your craft!

I cannot say enough positive things about Masha and her photo / video crew. Masha arrived to my wedding day on time, the crew was so on top of making sure we stayed on our timeline and got all the shots that we wanted. They were helpful, peaceful and brought a warm and inviting feeling to out photo session. Not only did Masha and her crew make me, my husband and our guests and family comfortable in front of the cameras… they also produced the most STUNNING photos and the sweetest video. I have only received my sneak peak of the video and photos so far but we are already so in love with how the photos are coming out. She was really able to capture that darker moody vibe that I was going for, which I am sure was a bit different than the typical Hawaii destination bride wants. Masha and her crew knocked it out of the park. If you are thinking about working with her, DO IT! You will not regret it!

The biggest uncertainty we had when searching for a photographer was “what if we don’t click”? Also, trying to find someone you trust to take nice memorable photos so you can look back on them and fall in love all over again. I liked having a first call before booking with Masha because it allowed us to get to know her and vise Versa. Looking through her Instagram, I loved her style of photography and I knew I wanted to book with her!

Masha was very helpful with getting prepared for pictures. She sent helpful tips throughout the year until our wedding date. It was very helpful because there were things that I haven’t thought about. Like suggestions for wedding detail pictures.

We had such a great experience the day of the wedding. Masha and her crew were so friendly and helpful that you don’t even feel uncomfortable in front of the camera. We have a big family and they were so patient with getting all the family portraits. She made me feel confident in posing and just having fun.

When she sent our sneak peak pictures, I honestly screamed. I loved every single one! It was like a dream and I looked like a princess. She captured little moments that I am able to look back on and remember what I felt in that very moment.

Masha is very knowledgeable and good at what she does. She makes you feel so comfortable in front of the camera because I know I can get a little awkward. She gives direction which was very helpful because not all of us know how to pose.

We were so blessed to have worked with her! She’s Awesome!

If you hire Masha as your wedding photographer, I PROMISE you will not regret it! She’ll likely be one of your favorite wedding purchases because her photos are absolutely stunning. All of her photos highlighted my wedding day perfectly AND she captured my love with my now husband beautifully. I’m generally someone who is very picky and particular, but when I saw Masha’s work I knew that I wanted to work with her. And let me tell you, she DELIVERED. I’m so glad that I was lucky enough to work with such a gem of a photographer. Thank you Masha for making my wedding day so special and for wrapping up my wedding with beautiful editorial photos I will cherish forever!! Your photography skills are unmatched and I hope to work with you again in the future!

We were very impressed with Masha for our micro-wedding/elopement in Kauai.
Professionalism every step of the way! Masha is super organized, detail oriented, and creative, and just fun to spend a day with. Masha was not just a photographer for us - she shared elopement itinerary ideas and wisdom from several years of on-the-ground experience working on the islands. She removed any concerns we had about planning the wedding remotely, from Seattle. Masha did so much of the wedding planning for us, which was a huge weight off our shoulders. On a day that can be so overwhelming, Masha's process was so seamless and thorough that we got exactly what we wanted for our big day. Even as our day stretched out beyond what we had originally planned, she stuck with us and captured every beautiful moment.

Carson and I adore the memories captured in our photos. We were drawn to her editorial style
and she absolutely delivered. The photos were unique to our day and miles away from ordinary wedding pictures. We could not be happier with the photos, the edits, and the album she created for us. We highly recommend Masha for any couple looking for a unique wedding or elopement experience and photos that you will remember for a lifetime!
