Mariia was incredible from the start. I felt extremely confident after our first meeting together to discuss wedding photo ideas and my timeline. She helped me feel at ease by giving suggestions to work with me on my wedding day in order for it to be as seamless as possible. From the moment she showed up she did not waste a minute! She pays such great attention to detail and guides you through each photo gently, while capturing many wonderful moments. When my husband and I received our wedding photos, we were so grateful to see not only our photos together, but the emotional moments captured of ourselves and our family/friends. These are memories of a lifetime that we now have. I highly recommend Mariia for her outstanding photography services for any special/private event. I cannot wait to have her capture more of mine in the future!

Maria is the best photographer we have ever met. Posing is really hard for me and my wife but she made sure the whole process so easy. She is very detail oriented, and pictures turned out to be so well, we could not even imagine we would look that great. She is very nice and positive person, and it really helped during doing the photoshoot. Working with her was a huge pleasure, and we will only book with her for any occasion in the future.
