Choosing a wedding photographer and videographer is one of the most important decisions you'll make when planning your wedding, as these are the memories you'll look back on for years to come. Unfortunately, while my experience with AP Studio started off positively, it became increasingly disappointing once the wedding was over.
The booking process was smooth and straightforward, and the team arrived on time on the wedding day. However, the experience itself was not what I had hoped for. Much of the day felt overly staged, which made it difficult to fully enjoy the special moments of getting ready and spending time with my family and friends. Instead of feeling natural and candid, there was a constant focus on recreating and directing moments, which took away fr om being present and enjoying the day as it unfolded.
Unfortunately, the real issues began after the wedding. Communication was extremely poor, and I constantly found myself having to follow up just to receive updates on the status of our photos and videos. Our video was delivered later than expected, and when I requested revisions, I once again had to repeatedly chase for responses. Eventually, communication stopped altogether, leaving my requests unresolved.
What makes this even more disappointing is that I later learned I was not the only bride who had experienced this. I've since spoken to several other brides who shared similar frustrations regarding communication, delays, and difficulties receiving the level of service they expected.
Your wedding day only happens once, and while capturing beautiful photos and videos is important, so is the experience that comes with it. Clear communication, professionalism, and reliable follow-through matter just as much. For a service that falls within the USD 5,000–10,000 range, I expected a much higher level of client care and post-wedding support. Unfortunately, those were the areas wh ere AP Studio fell short, turning what should have been an exciting time reliving our wedding memories into a stressful and frustrating experience.

Didn’t regret a single minute! Definitely understood my style and what i was looking for, and very comfortable to deal with… no awkward moments!! LOVEEEEE
Anastasiya has been my dream photographer for the longest time. She has been in my head as a photographer before ever finding my husband! When the day finally came where I got to plan my wedding, I had to make sure that I booked her first. I texted her and she was the sweetest person & though she had many weddings and clients - she made sure to respond to me and prioritize our conversations. From the moment I met her, she was not only professional and understood the photography style I wanted to achieve, she wanted to get to know me as a person and my understand my husband’s personality as well. She suggested themes for a shoot, fun, quirky, editorial…etc. she can do it all. She made sure to get the quality I expected, from checking the natural lighting in my room, the space she will utilize and more. When the wedding day arrived, I cannot express how smooth, easy, quick and fun her shoots are! No bulky gear, minimal equipment and helps you feel the best as a bride. When I had to walk into the ballroom, she was running around and finding the best angles, I even saw her behind the bridal couch next to the flowers crunched down for the best shoot which to this day is one of my favorite pictures! The energy she has as a photographer made everyone feel comfortable and excited to be on camera! She is respectful and full of life. She has definitely become our family photographer after my wedding and I am forever grateful that I got to be one of her clients. A dream come true and the best of the best. Real quality. The outcome from photos to videos, not one negative feedback from me. A year and half later, I still wish I can repeat it all over again with Anastasiya.
Anastasia is an absolute dream to work with! Her photography is nothing short of extraordinary. Every single photo she takes is magazine-cover worthy! She has an incredible talent for capturing your inner radiance and making you feel effortlessly beautiful during the shoot. Anastasia’s calm and confidence creates such a comfortable atmosphere. I can’t recommend her highly enough to any bride-to-be!
Anastasia is the best photographer ever. Super professional. Thank you for beautiful memories from our wedding. Thank you!
