Kind Words

Rachel & Matthew

Absolutely the BEST! From the first email exchange with Alyona, we knew she'd be perfect for our destination wedding in Savannah. So pleasant, kind and sweet, Alyona was incredible throughout the entire process, from planning to wedding day. She even met with us to walk around Savannah as we looked for first-look sites. Her timeline was perfect, and she was flexible and fun for our post-ceremony pictures. We've seen several images already from the wedding day, and they are stunning. I can't say enough about her! Alyona is wonderful!

Cate & Daniel

Alyona is wonderful! Not only is her work beautiful, she truly captures the spirit of the couple. She was so kind, putting all of us at ease and getting the best shots of everyone. She and her partner worked tirelessly all night long to capture everything we wanted and more. So glad we chose her to be our engagement and wedding photographer!

Laura & Greg

Alyona was my photographer for all my wedding events. She was absolutely amazing to work with. She is cool under pressure, detail oriented and captured my vision better than I could have imagined it. She was always available to answer questions and was prompt in returning phone calls/emails. I cannot thank her enough for capturing every event perfectly. Needless to say she will be my photographer for all of my future occasions, (family, baby, anniversaries).

Jenny & Michael

We had the pleasure of Alyona capturing our big day last week. I can honestly say that I haven't been around too many people as professional, kind, and as talented as her! We live in Seattle, so we were just expecting to meet Alyona on the day of our wedding in Charleston. But she asked to setup a time to speak with us over the phone so she could get to know us. Not only that, but she also came out to Isle of Palms to meet with us in person the day before the wedding to go over ideas and ask if we had any special requests. It meant a lot to us that she was so sincere in wanting to get to know us and what was important to us. Right off the bat, it was clear that Alyona really cared about getting it right. We told her that we really just wanted to capture the feel of Charleston and its special charm. She took us and the bridal party to some awesome spots downtown that were exactly what we were looking for. When she was shooting, she was so easygoing and fun that it kept us relaxed and really allowed us to enjoy the moment. It all just felt natural. The very next day after the wedding, Alyona sent us a sneak peak at the pics. We were blown away at how well everything came out! It was exactly how we wanted our photos to look - capturing the city, our love, and our friends. My wife was nearly in tears as she couldn't stop looking at them. We just feel so blessed to have been able to work with Alyona! She makes you feel as if you've known her for some time. As you can probably tell, we can't say enough good things about her. She is simply very gifted. We can't wait to see the rest! Thanks Alyona!

Lauren & Ben

Alyona is absolutely wonderful to work with! I can't say enough good things about my experience. She worked so hard the entire day and night capturing the perfect photos for my husband and I. Not only that, but she is the sweetest person to be around and she truly helped my day run smoothly and kept everyone stress free. The photos are stunning and I could not be happier!

Emily & Neil

Alyona is the full package! She not only took stunning and artistic photos of our wedding but she also helped us whenever we needed help or suggestions (and being an out of state couple means she helped us a lot!!) When we started wedding planning the first thing we did was look for a photographer because capturing the memories to have forever was extremely important to us. We found Alyona and stopped looking, booked a flight to Charleston, met with Alyona and promptly booked her for our wedding. If you are looking for a sweet, fun and amazingly talented photographer do yourself a favor and call Alyona- you won't be sorry- I promise!!

Alexia & Chris

I cannot say enough about how much we enjoyed working with Alyona! She was so kind and photographed our wedding thoroughly and with care. We will cherish our photos forever!

Lindsay & Patrick

You need to use Alyona especially if your wedding is in Charleston, SC!!! So great to work with! She puts the couples and their needs first throughout the big day. She did her research in advance to make sure we got the timeline, sunset, and portraits just right. Will definitely use her for family photos in the future!!!

Courtney & Cliff

Absolutely LOVED working with Alyona. She really tries to get the best possible shot and is passionate about her photos. She was also very sweet! I could not imagine my photos being any better! She made it super comfortable for me (I don't love getting my picture taken).

Helen & Andre

Alyona is very talented & truly cares about getting to know her clients & making sure that she takes the time to get the photos that are important to her clients. She was wonderful to work with and I highly recommend her.

Savannah & Alex

My wedding could not have been as amazing as it was if it wasn't for Alyona!! She honestly cares about us and what we want. From engagement session to our wedding...perfection! Our images were PHENOMENAL!!!! Thank you so much for making our special day, extraordinary special!

Kayla & Paul

Alyona does a fantastic job! I would recommend her for more than just wedding pictures and we plan on using her for other types of photo shoots in the future! She makes the whole process very enjoyable and the quality of the pictures is amazing!

Jessica & Jacob

Alyona, is so sweet, professional and talented. We are so lucky that we found her through a mutual friend. She is so fun and easy to work with. She has multiple package options that really helps you get exactly what you are looking for. My favorite thing about her is her attention to detail. She did not just take pictures of our wedding she managed capture every emotion going on that day. We are so thankful for that. We also got the most beautiful, top notch wedding album after our big day. We will definitely be using Alyona again in the future!!

Kimberly & Andy

I don't even know where to begin on the amazing things to say about Alyona! She is the sweetest person, responds so quickly to emails, and is easy to work with. I sent a list of pictures I wanted (with family, friends, etc) and she made sure to get all those pictures taken. Throughout our wedding day, she took so many pictures but was never intrusive or in the way. She captured great candid moments that help us remember our wedding day and how special it was. Also, Alyona gave us the option of having 2 photographers for the day which was great for capturing even more special moments. A couple days after our wedding she sent us some "sneak peek" pictures which were GORGEOUS! Then, a few weeks later we got to see our online gallery of pictures. We had over 1,500 pictures from the day and there was not a single one I did not love! She also sent us a USB with our pictures on it. Alyona truly captured the best moments of our day, and gave us beautiful family photos that we will cherish forever! If you need a photographer for your wedding, you absolutely need to contact Alyona! She is spectacular!

Jennifer & Nick

Alyona was the sweetest person to work with. She seemed to be truly invested in us as the couple and made sure we had all the photos we wanted. She was easy to work with and even posted some of our photos the day after our wedding. I recommend her completely!

Nadia & Craig

Alyona is an amazing photographer. We got married in Murrells Inlet and she came up from Charleston to photograph it. We used her for our engagement pictures which made the wedding much more relaxed since it felt like we knew her when we saw her again for the wedding. She arrived on time and didn't make it feel rushed when it was time to leave (this is not a skill all people have). I haven't seen all the photos yet but her sneak peak photos were amazing (as were our engagement photos). Check out her website for all of her absolutely beautiful photos if you aren't sure of her work. That's what I used when I decided I wanted to work with her. She is super friendly but also professional at the same time. We had a beach wedding and apparently there were TONS of bugs all around the bamboo arbor set up at the beach. Alyona had bug spray in her car and got rid of them before we got down there for the ceremony and we didn't notice a thing. The reason I mention this is that it shows what kind of person she is - aside from being an amazing photographer. I wish we lived near her because we would get any life event photographed by her. Anyone who lives in the area she travels to would be crazy for not using her. Photos are usually the only memory you get from your wedding day so I'm really happy we used someone who captured it beautifully.

Desiree & Nate

Alyona was perfect from beginning to end. Her package and presentation really impressed us at first. Then she took our pictures and we were stunned, floored, ecstatic...I can't really describe how happy we were with the final shots. My review is really long overdue because her work was phenomenal. She was even great making sure that our crazy family stayed on course. Her shot choices were great. She is excellent.

Shonda & Ben

Alyona was the perfect photographer for my husband and I. She takes the most beautiful, natural pictures and captures all the priceless moments you'll never forget! Alyona is super professional but down to earth and incredibly flexible. We definitely did our research on photographers in Charleston before choosing her, and she is hands down the best photographer here. Choose Alyona Photography, you will be incredibly pleased with the results!
