We love Sviatlana Photography! We had her photograph our wedding 6 years ago in San Diego, and so when we vacationed in Hawaii recently I knew exactly who to call for family pictures! Thank you so much for your time! We love your work and are so grateful for the beautiful pictures of our family!

Sviatlana was such a professional! She made sure she had everything just right for our wedding & ensured that we got all of the photos we wanted and needed. The colors, the lighting, the poses--everything came out beautifully! I have already shown my photos to my family and friends and they love them! I cannot wait to frame them and make an album so we can treasure them forever. Sviatlana was a pro from start to finish and I am so very happy with the end result! I highly recommend her for your wedding!

I had an engagement photo shoot with Sviatlana Photography and I was really happy with the result! Sviatlana was very helpful and gave us a lot of advice about our clothes, my hair and makeup. She discussed difference location choices with us and found one that was exactly what we were looking for. Our photos turned out wonderful! Sviatlana is a very good photographer. Thank you Sviatlana!

From beginning to end, Sviatlana was wonderful to work with! Communication was great as she helped me think through the planning of what I envisioned for our family photo session. She was very patient with us and intentional in getting the perfect shot (working with little ones can be difficult). The results of her work was just beautiful! She even added a few extra photos. Sviatlana, thank you so much for making our first professional family photo session a great experience! It is evident that you have a love and passion for what you do. We hope to work with you soon again! ☺️

We had a wonderful time getting maternity pictures done in balboa park. Sviatlana was extremely patient with us, and with my step-daughter who was in some of our pictures. She picked out great spots for us to have pictures taken. We are a challenging couple to photograph with me being short and my husband being super tall, but she made the most of it and we got some really great shots! Thank you!!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Stunning Autumn Colors & Unforgettable MomentsRachel & Michael T. — Fall Wedding 2017We cannot say enough wonderful things about working with Sviatlana! Our wedding took place in October, and she captured it all beautifully! The portraits she created of us breathtaking! Looking through our gallery feels like stepping back into that exact moment. The photos stunning and the entire experience was incredible! She made us feel comfortable and natural in front of the camera, and she was very easy to work with. She listened to our preferences and tried to give us everything we asked for. We highly recommend Sviatlana!
