Anastasiia Ostapovich Photographer

I truly believe that Anastasia is the best!! They did our engagement and wedding pictures, and we couldn't be happier with the outcome! They are so talented and we felt so comfortable throughout the shoots, which led to beautiful, genuine pictures. Their photo booth set-up was also a huge crowd-pleaser at out wedding!! Anastasiia is so thoughtful and will take time to make sure you love the final product!

I have so much I want to say but I’m going to try to keep it simple – Anastasiia has a gift for capturing moments in a way that is truly unique to each couple she photographs. Her talent shines through in her ability to yield that camera, but also in the level of care and joy she brings to every interaction. It is obvious she cares deeply about the work she does and the people who are a part of it!

Anastasiia is organized, professional, upbeat, and so much FUN! She has a way of making everyone feel comfortable and at ease behind the camera. Our photos came out absolutely MAGICAL and we will treasure them forever. Anastasiia is a GEM and I highly recommend her!!!

One of our favorite things about working with Anastasiia was the fact that she knew everything that was so important to us and was SURE to make sure those moments got captured, and in the most beautiful way possible. We also had a few ideas of our own that we wanted and she made those ideas come to life but even better than we could have ever imagined! Anastasiia made sure to get everything done and was not hesitant to ask for what she needed! We absolutely loved that about her. To wrap it up, all you need to do is look at her images and you will see just why we picked her to photograph the most important day of our lives :) SHE IS AMAZING! She seriously made it THE EASIEST. We met up throughout the process of planning the wedding and she was able to gather what ideas we had and what/who was important to have in photos. She also is one of the most likeable people you'll ever meet (as well as her husband) so by the end of it all you feel like your photographer was all along one of your greatest friends.Like I said above, Anastasiia is now a life long friend because all it took was that one day of working with her and you will love her forever! I can't imagine having anyone else do what she did on our big wedding day. It really is important to feel close and connected to your photographer because as the bride, they are hip to hip with you all day long. There is no one else I would have wanted in her place. We laughed and we cried together and I feel privileged that I got to have her by my side on the big day.  We freaking love you Anastasiia :)

From the first time I met Anastasiia, I loved her personality! I knew that she understood what we wanted and would execute it without any issues. My husband and I loved Vadim and her vibe throughout the day. They made every picture fun and made sure to catch all the candid moments my husband and I had together. Hiring Anastasiia as our photographer was the best decision we made because we will forever have these amazing pictures to remember the best day of our lives. Anastasiia and Vadim will forever be our family photographer!

Anastasiia was so fun to have around the day of the wedding! It was like working with a life-long friend. She captured incredible photos of every moment of our day and got us sneak peak pictures the very next day which we were SO excited about! She gave us enough direction in order to get all the pictures I wanted without being too pushy or disrupting the day. Pictures was the most important thing to me and I was stressed that I wouldn't get all the pictures I wanted because my groom DESPISES having his photo taken, but she made it fun and easy even for him! I knew I had to have Anastasiia as a photographer after I saw a friend's wedding photos that she took and she did not disappoint! Anastasiia and her husband were a joy to work with and the photos speak for themselves. Easily the BEST decision we made when it came to wedding vendors. I can't say enough good things about this team!

I highly recommend Anastasiia! As a couple, we were very nervous about being in front of the camera, because we are definitely not natural at it. Anastasiia made it so easy! She was very helpful in directing us and telling us what to do and what not to do for each shot. She was super easy to work with and made our nerves go away immediately. On our wedding day, we considered her to be more of our friend than our photographer as it was so easy to engage with her throughout the whole day.  Anastasiia's communication was excellent and she was very organized. She had taken the time to view our church and reception venue prior to the day of, in order to make a timeline for photographs throughout the day. Being as our wedding was a destination wedding, this was super helpful and meant a lot to us that she would go above and beyond. Her attention to detail made me very relaxed on my wedding day! Also, with having a larger wedding party, she was excellent at getting the groups attention and holding their attention long enough for each of the group shots. We enjoyed being with Anastasiia all day, because she made it feel like we were with our best friend. She allowed the environment to be very relaxed and natural, which in turn made our photographs very natural and authenti.

I could not have asked for a better wedding photographer. From the moment I met Anastasiia at our consultation, I knew she was the person that I wanted to photograph my wedding. Her photos perfectly capture the bride and groom on their special day in such romantic and effortless way. On top of the gorgeous photographs, Anastasiia has such a kind and light-hearted way about her. I felt comfortable around her and trusted her artistic eye. I still to this day get so many complements on how amazing our photos turned out. I did not do a videographer, but I think an amazing photographer makes up for that 100%. Thank you.

Hiring Anastasiia for our wedding was probably THE best decision we made. I wish I could give Anastasiia a million stars, because that is what she deserves. After talking to several photographers, I was referred to Anastasiia by a friend who had also just hired her.  She was so easy to talk to and I felt confident that she would be able to capture every special moment and come through with the vision we hoped for with our photos. .
From the engagement photos to the wedding photos, everything was beyond amazing. We had a large wedding with several events. She was so incredibly well prepared and with all the chaos of a million things happening at once, she still was able to capture all the important moments and never missed a beat.

After our wedding, my entire family was raving about how amazing she was, without even seeing any of the photos! They loved her energy, her passion, creativity, and just her overall personality. She truly is incredible, as both a person and a photographer and I strongly recommend her to any couple looking for someone to beautifully capture their story and their big day. After our wedding, we have had 3 other couples hire her for their wedding as well, which just speaks to how incredible she truly is!

We've shot with Anastasiia three times including our engagement shoot, boudoir session for the bride, and wedding. Each time working with Anastasiia made us feel like we were spending time with a best friend. She easily coached us through angles we felt would look awkward (but looked amazing) and always knew what locations would look best. If we could compare Anastasiia's method of photographing to competitive sports, she would be the cheerleader-Mom on the sidelines calling out positive messages and ramping us up for hours on end. Her energy is contagious--we have no idea where it comes from! It makes us sad to think not ALL couples get the honor of working with her on the best day of their lives! We love you so much, girl!

Anastasiia is a MUST HAVE for your wedding day (and I truly mean must have)! As a professional in the wedding industry I had incredibly high expectations. Adding even more pressure, we moved our wedding when Anastasiia was already booked on the original date!  Frankly, it was the ABSOLUTE BEST decision we made.

Anastasiia and Vadim surpassed every expectation we had. Beyond her sheer talent (which is through the roof! We look like the models featured in perfume ads), she was the greatest hype woman, made us completely comfortable in front of the camera, helped me organize my wedding schedule and she treated me as a dear friend throughout the entire process.

Our wedding was postponed due to COVID and we last minute decided to elope on the original date. Without any hesitation she organized a timeline, hiked to a mountain top with us, served as our witness...she even did my nails the day before! Despite our families being unable to be present, and the 40 people we didn't know watching us, she made me feel like I was surrounded by life long friends. When our loved ones saw the photos, they felt like they were present because she captured our love in a genuine and raw way. Six months later, my elopement photos are still the talk of the town because they are THAT GOOD.

So all in all, hire Anastasiia! You will be so thankful you did. I'm still over the moon and am now a lifetime client.

We cannot recommend Anastasiia and Vadim enough! Their work speaks for itself - looking back, there wasn't a single moment that wasn't captured beautifully. Not only is Anastasiia's work incredible, but she was so much fun to work with. My husband and I were so nervous to have photo shoots done of us, but she made every session fun and not awkward - it was like getting photographed by a close friend! She got along with our whole wedding party so well, and felt as much like a guest at the wedding as a vendor. We are so grateful for her!! After the weekend, so many guests were raving about Anastasiia and a few even asked for her contact info for their own upcoming wedding!

I absolutely loved working with Anastasiia. When I was looking at photographers for my wedding her work immediately caught my eye. From the time I emailed her to inquire about booking to today when I submitted my wedding album I have nothing but amazing things to say about her! I have so many pictures that I absolutely love that I don't have enough places to put them! We wanted our dogs in our engagement photos and I was a little worried with how they would cooperate but she was amazing with them. She made taking pictures fun for us. We are not ones who usually take pictures so I thought it would be a little weird thinking of what to do but she made the process so simple. She is the best hype girl!! I would recommend Anastasiia to everyone who needs a photographer for any occasion!!

Anastasiia is simply the BEST! From engagement photos the year before our wedding, to being there for 11+ hours on our big day, to sharing the most beautiful photos and album with us in the months after, she could not have been better to work with. She made us feel so comfortable and our bridal party had a blast taking pictures on the big day. Most importantly, her work in stunning. If you are in the Asheville area, could not recommend Anastasiia more to capture everything perfectly on your special day.

I cannot recommend Anastasiia and her husband Vadim enough! We have worked with Anastasiia for our engagement pictures, our two weddings (thanks Covid!) and a bonus mountain photoshoot. Her work is INCREDIBLE and honestly speaks for itself.  She was so much fun to work with and feels just as much  like a best friend as your photographer. She made the whole process effortless and fun while giving the perfect direction to capture the most amazing pictures. After each of our weddings so many guests were raving about Anastasiia and were so impressed by her professionalism and energy throughout the day and night!  You will not be disappointed if you choose Anastasiia Photography -she is a must!!!

So I did not mean for this review to be so long but basically- just book Anastasiia and I promise it will be the best decision you will make for your wedding! I was first introduced to Anastasiia when she was photographing  a friend's wedding in Florida. As a guest, I observed her ensuring the bride & groom were having a great time and that she was always getting a mixture of the posed and in-the-moment shots but also allowing the couple to enjoy their day. A few years later, when it was time to pick a wedding photographer for us,  Anastasiia happened to be one of the preferred vendors for our venue. I honestly barely looked at any other photographers because I quickly looked through her work again and knew she was who I wanted for our wedding. Her photography style and editing sold it for me. Photography was one of the first things we chose after our venue because to me it is one of the most important parts of your day. After the wedding is over, all you have is your pictures and videos. So luckily for me Anastasiia had availability and we scheduled a facetime consultation. I think after our first facetime I was even more excited and just wanted to be best friends with her. The best decision we made, besides booking her, was doing an engagement shoot with Anastasiia about 5 months before our wedding. We met on the top of the Blue Ridge Parkway,  Anastasiia brought the music and we brought the tequila shots (she did not partake but she was our biggest cheerleader!) The fact that my picture-hating fiance left that shoot saying “wow that was actually fun” speaks to her talent. Then we got the photos back… I can’t even begin to say how many people said they were the best engagement photos they had ever seen. Anastasiia made us feel SOO comfortable and we just had fun. I usually feel awkward getting my picture taken but not when Anastasiia is behind the lens. She knows what it takes to get the shot and is able to direct in a comfortable, natural and fun way.  Prior to the wedding… even during the craziness that was 2021 weddings.. Anastasiia was checking in with me to make sure she knew what pictures I exactly wanted and she was instrumental in creating the perfect timeline for our day. Throughout my wedding day Anastasiia was my photographer, cheerleader and therapist. I truly couldn’t imagine our day without her & Vadim. Receiving our pictures after the wedding only solidified this when we got to relieve our day with pictures that couldn’t have been more perfect. We could not have asked for a better photographer to capture the most important day of our lives.

Booking Anastasiia to photograph our wedding was the easiest decision that we made. From our first Facetime, she made us feel so comfortable and like we had always known each other. I had come across her blog online as she had previously photographed a wedding at our venue. We knew immediately that her style was what we wanted for our wedding photos. Her blog is also what made me feel such a connection with her right off the bat, knowing that she was a photographer that not only delivered unreal photos but also really cared about her couples and wanted to form that bond with them.
Working with Anastasiia was such a pleasant process, from booking to actually creating the wedding album, she makes every step so easy and clear. And the lines of communication were always open. We were lucky enough to have booked her for both of our weddings in 2020 and 2021. Both years, she created a timeline that ensured the day ran smoothly. On the wedding day itself, Anastasiia and Vadim make you feel like you’re modeling for “Vogue Weddings” – her poses, photography style and editing are unmatched. As two people who thought we’d be awkward taking wedding photos, Anastasiia made us laugh along the way and feel completely relaxed in front of the camera. She delivers the most incredible photos and somehow manages to not miss a single moment. Anytime we show someone our wedding photos, they’re always in awe. You couldn’t ask for a better and more calming presence on your wedding day- she has the ability to make everyone at the wedding feel so special. Anastasiia and Vadmin have become a part of our family. They are now our family photographers and none of us can imagine having an event without ensuring that they are available! I can’t thank them enough for giving us the most beautiful memories of the most special days of our lives.

One of the most important decisions for our wedding was choosing a photographer, and we 100% made the best decision by choosing Anastasiia! My husband's sister had her engagement photos taken by Anastasiia and we were amazed by the quality and beauty of each photo. We just had to book her for ourselves! From the very first Zoom call, we felt as if we had known Anastasiia for years. My husband and I are pretty awkward when it comes to photos and we were almost dreading thinking of what type of poses we should do. But immediately Anastasiia took control of the situation and made us feel comfortable and at ease with the camera. She even grabbed her husband Vadim (who was the second photographer) to demonstrate how some of the poses should look, which helped us get the perfect shots! Knowing there would be rain in the forecast, she scouted out our venue and took us to the best locations to take our photos before the rain started coming down on us. And she directed our families and friends with ease to make sure each important person in our lives were captured in the moment. Anastasiia and Vadim are a dream to work with and they left us with the most stunning photographs that will forever remind us of what a perfect day our wedding was. We cannot thank them enough!!

Where do I even start?!
I met Anastasiia back in 2016 when she was the photographer for my sisters wedding. I was so amazed at how much fun she made it and how creative she was, that I knew when it was my turn to get married, she would definitely be my photgrapher.
Fast forward 6 years later, before I booked or reserved anything, I made sure Anastasiia would be available for that day. AND BOY AM I GLAD I DID!
The whole day Anastasiia was my biggest fan, my cheerleader, my hype girl and I couldn’t imagine picking anyone else to capture such a special day so perfectly. She really went above and beyond all of my expectations!
The pictures speak for themselves, but if you need words of affirmation, this is your sign to hire her! You will be so happy you did :)

Anastasiia and her husband were absolutely incredible to work with! We cannot say enough great things! We were looking for someone with experience photographing South Asian weddings because we knew how chaotic they can be with the multiple events, outfit changes and performances. The moment we looked at her work, we fell in love with her style and immediately scheduled our first call. They say that the one vendor that is with you the entire wedding is your photographer, and it should be someone that you are comfortable with and trust. We knew instantly that she was who we wanted to be there with us during our wedding day. We were one of those weddings that had to be postponed, and she was so kind and professional through that whole process. When our wedding finally came, she far exceeded our expectations. We were so blessed to work with such a kind and professional team. I was so worried about being awkward in photos since it’s not my thing, but she made the whole experience fun and made us feel so comfortable and at ease. She was so kind and encouraging as well and I truly appreciated that!
Anastasiia captured it all! Every single wedding photo came out absolutely incredible and far more beautiful than I could have imagined! By the time it came to getting the album made, we could not decide! Our wedding album also came out so beautiful and there is nothing quite like having it in your hands. So, I will say, from the moment we spoke to her first, through our wedding planning process, our wedding day, seeing the final product, and to our wedding album, we could not have asked for a better duo to work with! They are the all-star team you want by your side and will truly go above and beyond! So do we recommend them? HECK YES, WE DO! Thank you so much, Anastasiia Photography!
