Review of Sasha Photography

Yet another 5-star review to add to Sasha's list! ...

Yet another 5-star review to add to Sasha's list! I can confirm that everything everyone has said is true: Sasha is fantastic!

You don't want to leave the capturing of one of the biggest days of your life in just anyone's hands, so we did a lot of research on various photographers. Once we had our meeting with Sasha, we knew he was the one. He asked all the right questions and made us feel like we had a skilled artist working with us.

On our big day, he arrived right on time (actually, a little early so he could familiarize himself with the grounds), dressed impeccably and ready to start capturing moments. There's a quiet confidence about him, like he's done this hundreds of times (and he has) as he started taking pictures of all the pre-wedding details and both parties getting ready. I immediately felt like I was in extremely competent hands, a blessing on a day full of stressful details. When it came time to take the post-ceremony family pics, it was a balmy 87 degrees (which feels like 120 degrees to a bride in layers of lace and tulle!), and I was really weary and needed this to go quickly. Without even having to say anything, Sasha sensed my exhaustion and starting directing the crowd, giving commands like "I need X, Y and Z to stand under these trees" and "X: hands in your pocket and look slightly to the left" without ever sounding like he was barking orders. His polite efficiency was SO appreciated. And he remembered everyone's names! Incredible.

We got a few sneak peek pictures back almost immediately following the wedding, and the whole online gallery followed shortly. I'd heard you had to wait months with some photographers to release their photos to clients, but Sasha gave ours to us within a few weeks (!). From there, it was REALLY hard to pick which were our favorites; our wedding party looked like a bunch of supermodels, the angles were varied and interesting and he captured all the right moments. And the BOOK. OMG. THE BOOK. When we finally selected our favorites and the book arrived, we were floored. The book was SO beautifully arranged and the pages are printed on a heavy, stiff material much thicker than paper (we're showing this puppy to a lot of people, so it's a great choice for durability). It is absolutely beyond perfect. Sasha is a true artist, and we are so grateful for everything he's done for us. Thank you Sasha!!!
