Big Day Memories did a great job for my Indian/Hispanic Multi-Day wedding. We had both a photographer (Slava) and videographer (Sam,Ivan) and they went above and beyond. These guys did a great job and I received many compliments from my family and friends. Can't recommend them enough. They were able to capture special moments while never feeling like I was being constantly photographed. Thank you again. read more

I found BigDayMemories through Instagram and honestly couldn't be happier with our experience. From the very beginning, the entire team was wonderful to work with. Their project manager was incredibly responsive throughout the planning process -every email was answered quickly, making everything feel smooth, organized, and stress-free. They're a small family business, and you can truly tell how much they care about their clients and the quality of their work. On our wedding day, Kirill and Alexey were patient, calm, funny, and so easy to be around - even with our pretty chaotic schedule! They made us feel comfortable the entire time and captured everything so naturally. I had a very specific vision for both our photos and video, so I shared examples (including some of their previous work) to help communicate the style I was looking for. They even sent us preview photos just one week after the wedding, which was incredibly impressive! When we received our final gallery and films, I requested a few edits to better match my vision. Since it was peak summer wedding season, the revisions took about 3 extra weeks, which was completely understandable. They were happy to make the changes, and the final results were absolutely worth the wait. I really appreciated that they cared about making sure we were completely happy with everything rather than rushing to finish. One of the biggest reasons we chose BigDayMemories was their pricing. After comparing countless photography and videography companies, they were by far the most affordable option we found, yet their work easily matched or exceeded the quality of vendors charging much more. The value they provide is truly incredible. We're so grateful we chose BigDayMemories and would wholeheartedly recommend them to any couple looking for a talented, professional, responsive, and genuinely caring photography and videography team. read more

Big Day Memories was fantastic!! Very professional and very detailed!! The entire team was very attentive to our vision and they made it all possible!! We got Masha as our photographer. We also had a videographer (I forgot his name). They both worked so good together!! Constantly communicating with one another to ensure they captured every special moment!! They were very professional and went above and beyond on our special day. They were so easy to work with as well. They would guide us and even show us how to pose at our best angle. Their turn around time on our pictures was incredibly fast ( less than 2 weeks after our wedding!!). We received highlights of our wedding, ALL the captured moments at our wedding and they even filtered our pictures to black and white. We're still waiting for our video and our social media clip but I'm certain that that footage will be great as well! If you're hesitant to book Big Day Memories, don't be! I promise you that you will NOT be disappointed! We're so glad we did!! Thank you so much Big Day Memories! We will forever be grateful to you for capturing every single detail on our special day! read more

We absolutely loved working with BigDayMemories! From our first call with their founder, Pasha, to our photoshoot on our wedding day, the entire experience was seamless and thoughtful. We shared a mood board, and the team really took the time to understand our vision, which we truly appreciated. Our project manager, Christelle, handled coordination really well throughout the process, making sure all our questions were answered and our updates passed on to the team.   During our prep call, our photographer, Masha, carefully walked through our timeline to make sure we had enough time for all the shots we wanted. On the day itself, Masha and Marat, our videographer, were incredible--so positive, energetic, and clearly passionate about what they do. They went above and beyond (literally climbing rocks and walking on sand!) to capture the perfect shots while keeping us relaxed and in great spirits.   We've already seen our photo highlights and are blown away by how beautiful they are. They truly delivered on the vision we shared but also added a wonderful artistic flare that helped tell the story of our special day. We can't wait to see the full gallery and final video!   Their pricing is also very reasonable--easily one of the best we found--and absolutely worth the investment. Highly recommend!   Thank you to the whole team for helping us make our Big Day memories! read more

Big Day Memories was a pleasure to work with! Our initial call with them is what really drew us in as they took the opportunity to guide us through the timeline, explained how the company came about, and reassured us that they have handled many weddings within our region (Bay Area) in the past. We worked with Vinh and Alex on our wedding day and they were very professional and just great guys to work with. We're pretty awkward people and Vinh's direction in posing us and making us look good really translates in the photos! We received our sneak peek within a few days, and our full gallery of photos within a week, which was faster than we could have ever imagined. We're now just looking forward to our video as we absolutely loved the photos of our wedding. For those who are wanting a one-stop shop for photography and videography, we think Big Day Memories is a fantastic option! read more

So extremely happy -- we truly could not have asked for a better team. We had an immediate connection with Masha and Marat and knew right away it was going to be a great experience. It took us months to find a photographer and videographer we genuinely loved. It ended up being one of the hardest milestones in our entire wedding‑planning journey. We were searching for a team whose pricing felt reasonable, whose work we connected with, and who had experience with the documentary, romantic style we envisioned for our wedding day. The kind of style that captures the real moments of the day in every still image, paired with a video that shows the perspectives we didn't get to see ourselves. I've heard so many stories of people not loving their photos, so I was prepared to temper my expectations -- but honestly, I was happier than I ever imagined. Everyone we've shown so far has been in awe of how beautiful they turned out. Masha and Marat were exceptional. Masha was organized, flexible, and communicative. They gave great direction for posing while also capturing natural action shots. During our pre‑wedding session, they were incredibly helpful walking us through ideas and what would be possible to bring to life. On the wedding day, they knew exactly who needed to be where and kept everything moving smoothly, while still allowing us time to visit with guests and enjoy our day. They captured photos and videos seamlessly as the day unfolded. We highly recommend Big Day Memories for your event and are confident you will be just as pleased. read more

Big Day Memories did my nieces wedding photography at the Oak Glen venue. I was in charge of the photography for her wedding, so going with them was super easy. They have different packages depending on what you are looking for...from the beginning to end the photographer and video were amazing! They captured every important detail of the wedding. We got the proofs over email on box and were able to choose prints or digital uploads, super convenient! Thank you so much for the amazing photos that will last a lifetime! read more

My husband and I searched for months for a photography/videography team. We were very picky, knew exactly what we wanted, and weren't willing to compromise on our wedding memories. We wanted a team that had a natural, clean editing style and could capture us and our venue as naturally as possible. That's when we found Big Day Memories. From our first meeting, we knew this was the team for us. Their professional demeanor and communication was fantastic, and they made us feel reassured at every step. Then the big day came, and they exceeded every (already high) expectation we had! Masha and Murat were absolutely phenomenal. They made us feel at ease in front of the camera, and sometimes we were so comfortable we forgot the cameras were there! We joke that we spent more time with Masha and Murat than anyone else on our wedding day. And boy, was it WORTH IT! We couldn't be happier with our photos so far, and we are SO grateful to Masha, Murat, and the team for capturing our best day so perfectly. They are true ARTISTS and masters of their craft. I will forever be grateful to them for providing such beautiful photos that we can look back on for the rest of our lives. THANK YOU!!!! read more

I have to update my review after receiving the final video edits. I still can't get over the song choice they initially decided to use on our social media reel. The original song was completely inappropriate and had zero to do with weddings or anything romantic. The song was called Hoe Phase and we just discovered it's by an AI artist (found on Spotify)! The lyrics are even worse than the songs title. Although they removed the song and updated to a new one, it just doesn't sit well with me that they even allowed that to be approved and sent to their client! Also, the first initial song edit was choppy in parts and I had to ask them to provide a seamless edit so they redid the video again! They were clearly rushing to give us a new reel. Quality of the video itself is great, can't deny that, but when you're excited to see your video and share with family and friends you don't expect the song to start off with "I made it out of my hoe phase!" It made us feel as though they thought of us as a couple in this way or that we would find it funny, I'm not sure and don't think I will ever understand. It felt very deliberate because why would anyone choose this song to begin with?? They apologized through email but that's about it. Assuming no one else has experienced this with BDM so why us?? read more

We had an incredible experience using Big Day Memories! From our initial meeting with Masha and Ivan we knew that we had nothing to worry about. They clearly knew what important moments were essential for them to capture and they made sure they had the details they needed to make it happen. The day of our wedding Masha was patient, efficient, and professional. The team was flexible with our last minute schedule changes and the whole process was smooth. Both Masha and Ivan did a great job posing us to get the perfect shots. We cannot recommend Big Day Memories enough if you want to be confident your event will be captured by a professional team that is ready for anything. read more

Big Day Memories and their team was fantastic! We had an engagement photo session along with a day of booking for our wedding, which included a tea ceremony at the bride's family residence in the morning and wedding at our venue in the afternoon till evening. We received our sneak peek photo gallery in just a few days after our wedding and the photos are looking fabulous! My family also gave compliments that even tho BDM was a team of 2 (one photographer and one videographer), every time they turned around both were right there on the scene taking photos and videos. Excited to see more! Contact and Communication was great throughout the entire process and if there were ever a question, the team was very quick to respond to an email and phone call. Also appreciated their flexibility with accepting changes close to the event date for extra hours and additional services. read more

My fiancé and I had our engagement photo shoot this past Sunday with Masha at Pasadena City Hall and she was amazing to work with! She made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera helping to direct our poses and bring our vision to life.

Although we didn't get photos of all the poses we wanted to highlight we are still very happy with the ones that were delivered. The photos were beyond beautiful and truly captured our emotions in the moment. Also their staff is responsive and helps to answer all questions in a timely manner.

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Big Day Memories for our wedding, and we could not be happier with our experience! From the very beginning, their professionalism and attention to detail stood out. Before the big day, Helen (our photographer) and Marat (our videographer) scheduled a video call with us to go over the timeline. They thoughtfully walked us through how to best structure our day so we could make the most of every moment. They also gave us wonderful suggestions for photo locations, ways to include all of our guests, and ideas to make the day flow smoothly. On the wedding day, they arrived right on time and immediately set a positive, lighthearted tone. Helen and Marat worked seamlessly as a team, guiding us through each photo session with clear direction and fun, creative ideas for poses. They managed to balance being professional with being easygoing, which helped us feel comfortable and relaxed in front of the camera. Their energy was contagious and made the whole experience enjoyable--not stressful at all! We were so impressed with how organized and thoughtful they were throughout the day. They ensured we stayed on schedule while still allowing us to be present and enjoy the moment. They encouraged creativity, captured candid interactions, and made sure all of our loved ones were included in the memories.

The quality and artistry exceeded our expectations, and we are beyond excited to see the full gallery and our wedding video. We know it's going to be something we'll treasure forever.

Big Day Memories has been such a joy to work with from the start! Their storytelling through photography and videography drew us in from their Instagram page. Pasha provided excellent transparency regarding the services during the initial consultation call and helped determine which package would be the right fit for our day given our estimated timeline of events. After deciding we wanted to work with Big Day Memories, they had us fill out a questionnaire about a month prior to help streamline the logistics process and artistic style. We were so fortunate and grateful to have had Masha and Marat, a creative and reliable power team, as our photographer and videographer. We met with the team one week 10 days prior to our wedding day and gave them free rein to provide us with artistic direction based on our Pinterest board. We really appreciated their timeline suggestions for the appropriate times to schedule photos based on their experience with how long each element would take. Everyone praised both Masha and Marat for always being there with us to capture our special moments and for being such fun people to work with. They helped guide us through all the poses we wanted based on our vision. Despite our hectic timeline, they were able to capture a lot of the shots we wanted, from the traditional style photos with family and friends to the editorial style couple pictures with so much professionalism, creativity, and attention to detail. The turnaround to receive our highlights and the wedding gallery has been extremely quick---3 days for the sneak peek and 1 week for the full photo gallery. The photos turned out absolutely beautiful and captured our vision really well. We can't wait for the full video from the team! Thank you Masha, Marat, Pasha, and the rest of the Big Day Memories team for an exceptional experience at our wedding! We would definitely recommend this team to anyone! read more

My fiancé and I had our engagement photoshoot a week ago and we had such a great experience. Our photographer Adam was friendly and great at giving us direction on how to pose and to make our pictures feel more natural. Our theme for our engagement pictures was a classic, vintage theme of the 1950s and Adam and his assistant did a fantastic job at capturing that vision. We were blessed to have my aunt and uncle provide us with their classic car for the pictures. We also chose the Claremont Museum of Art as our picture location. I cant express enough about how beautiful the pictures turned out! I also really appreciate how fast the pictures were edited and the nice website album provided by Big Day Memories. I'm excited to have Big Day Memories capture my wedding in October. Thank you again for the beautiful, memorable pictures! read more

Working with the Big Day Team was beyond exceptional, from inquiry to the day of. An inquiry phone call meeting was set up with Pasha to determine the overall vision for the photographer and videographer. Great experience, he answered questions I had and provided transparent clarity of their services and experience. After deciding we wanted to work with Big Day, we completed a questionnaire and set-up a meeting with our day of photographer, Masha, and videographer Marat (a week before the event). The goal of the meeting was to review the timeline of the event and the focus of each piece/hour. On the day of, Masha and Marat did beautiful work in collaborating together, my husband & I, other vendors, and the family. My family praised how appreciative and patient Masha was taking photos of everyone. And loved how Marat collaborated and included them in video footage. Thank you Pasha, Masha, and Marat for an amazing experience and capturing our wedding. Would definitely recommend! read more

Overall, we had a really positive experience working with Big Day Memories, including Slava (photographer) and Ivan (videographer), and there are several standout qualities that made them a great choice for our wedding. Communication was strong and consistent throughout the process. Pasha, the owner, was very involved and made sure I felt comfortable with the team selected for our day, which I really appreciated. From the beginning, everyone was professional, responsive, and reassuring about their ability to bring our vision to life. One thing I especially want to highlight is how flexible and open they were when it came to stylistic preferences. They were incredibly receptive to feedback, took the time to understand the exact look and feel we wanted, and were more than willing to adjust their approach. We never felt boxed into a certain style--they really collaborated with us to make sure our vision was reflected. That said, one area for improvement would be the timing of team assignment and introduction. We didn't meet Slava and Ivan until our first meeting just three days before the wedding. While that meeting went well and they were both wonderful to work with, I would have preferred to know who our photographer and videographer would be earlier so I could review more of their individual work and feel more prepared. Having that clarity sooner would have reduced some unnecessary stress leading up to the big day. On the plus side, their package was very competitively priced compared to others we considered, and it included a complimentary engagement photoshoot and drone footage--both amazing additions that added a lot of value. Also, based on our sneak peek gallery, the content already looks amazing--we're so excited to see the full gallery and video! That alone speaks volumes about their talent and ability to capture the day beautifully. Overall, their team was communicative, flexible, and genuinely open to feedback, which made a big difference. With a bit more lead time in assigning and introducing the team, the experience would be even better. Still, we're very grateful for their work and would recommend them to others. read more

Both candids and posed photography came out GORGEOUS. They are the perfect team for your big day and I would highly recommend them to anyone getting married. read more

Great communication, and even better staff! I felt so taken care of from the first consultation phone call all the way to the wedding day with our amazing videographer and photographer.

Masha is such a kind spirit and so warm, my parents were really impressed with her! I got a custom package with both photography and videography, including a drone for 7 hours. Pasha (who I belief is the owner?) walked me through everything over the phone and helped me come up with our custom package, all with a great sense of humor as well as professionalism. I can't recommend Big Day Memories enough! read more

We had a great experience working with Sam and Tony for our wedding reception in Santa Barbara.

On the day of the event, they were professional, friendly, and gave us clear direction during our photos, which made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. They captured so many beautiful moments and made sure we got a variety of shots. One thing I'd recommend for future couples is to build in a little extra time into your schedule. We fell behind our set schedule, so having that buffer would've made it less stressful. Overall, we're really happy with our experience and would definitely recommend Big Day Memories. read more
