We had the immense pleasure of working with Dmitry and his incredible team for our wedding, and I can't emphasize enough how exceptional they were! From the very beginning, Dmitry and his team exhibited unparalleled talent, professionalism, and creativity. Their work has truly been the talk of the town among our guests. Throughout the entire wedding, they made us--as well as our dog--feel like Hollywood celebrities. Their attention to detail and ability to capture every magical moment was remarkable. The little sneak peeks we got of our wedding photos and videos sent us straight into the clouds! It felt like we were being blessed by the photography and videography gods. When we returned from our honeymoon, we were greeted with the most stunning video from our wedding. It took our breath away and has been a beautiful gift we've shared with family and friends all over the world, who have all been equally blown away by Dmitry and his team's artistry. The previews for the photos were equally breathtaking; we can't stop looking at them. The creativity and attention to detail in every shot are simply incredible. Dmitry and his team managed to make everything look picturesque and movie-like. Thank you, Dmitry, Elena, and the entire Shumanev team, for capturing our dream wedding so perfectly. Your work means the world to us, our guests, and everyone who couldn't attend. We will treasure these photos and videos forever. Highly, highly recommend! read more

I just wanted to say that this experience with Dmitry was one of the best that I have ever had with a photographer. He was extremely professional, kind, and hilarious. The entire shoot was just nonstop laughter and jokes, which fortunately is my best look. During our initial conversation, he really focused on getting to know me and really listened to what I was looking to get out of this photo shoot. He understood my vision completely and didn't try and steer me in a different direction like other photographers have. There were certain areas where I was open to suggestions and that is where he worked his magic. His location choices were perfect, and he was able to capture images that blew me away. I've had some modeling experience, but I'm not a professional. This is where Dmitry's expertise came in handy. He's really talented and was able to give directions in such a way that was easy to act out. I am so pleased with the pictures. I honestly was speechless and I had the hardest time making the final cut. I will definitely be returning in the future and would highly recommend him to my friends or anyone looking for a photographer. Thank you so much, Dmitry! read more

I was fortunate to find Dmitry when it came time to update my business headshot. I have worked with other photographers in the past and found all of them to be competent and professional. Dmitry is certainly that, but he is also much more. I dislike getting my picture taken and I know I'm not the easiest subject to photograph. Dmitry took that in stride and made me feel totally at ease. He is friendly, extremely patient, very creative, and quite entertaining in the process. My photo session was actually fun. The quality of Dmitry's work is excellent; it has to be to make me look good. Everyone who has seen my photo is impressed. I received several versions of my finished picture including high resolution color and black and white files and color and black and white files in a lower resolution more suitable for posting on my website. Dmitry is a talented photographer and genuinely nice guy. The quality of his work is first rate. I would not hesitate for a moment to recommend his services to anyone. read more

Dmitry Shumanev was AWESOME. He takes fabulous photo-journalistic style photographs that really made our wedding photos special. Even though we bought one of his smaller packages that didn't include the photo-journalistic style, he shot that way for us anyways. Got a free engagement photo shoot for a Friday wedding. He was great to work with, very friendly, made everyone had a good time even though they were standing up / smiling in pics for hours! And the best part - his price included an ENTIRE DAY of photography. He was with us from noon until midnight; other photographers charged in 4 hour blocks and it would have been a fortune to keep anyone else that long. Thanks you for THE BEST WORK! read more

I wanted to post a business photo to get back into the job market. I left a message for Dmitry; he promptly replied and we scheduled a date for the photo shoot. I was not sure how the photos would turn out since the photo session was outdoors but Dmitry did an amazing job getting the correct lighting and positioning. He is very customer-oriented; showed me the first photos right away to get an idea of what pleased me. Dmitry's photography techniques are very clever and creative. I am my biggest critic about my pictures but I was very please with my final touched up photos. I would highly recommend Dmitry for photography services. It was a great experience. read more

He is beyond compare. We feel so thankful that he was able to fit us into his busy world -although he travels the globe photographing fashion models, he treated our family as if we were just as important. He created a model portfolio for our daughter that was visually breathtaking. He has an ability to create images, a vision uniquely his own, constructing a gorgeous array of astonishing imagery. An absolute amazing, creative, innovative, photographer with a distinctive vision no other can compare. We feel honored. His make up artist is astounding, and his assistant is unparalleled. read more

We found Dmitry after an extensive search for the perfect photographer, and after a review of his stunning portfolio and amazing Yelp reviews, hired his to be our event photographer. Not only did Dmitry deliver what was promised, his went above and beyond with his post-production work and somehow managed to make the images he captured more beautiful than the event itself! His work was far and away superior to some of the other pro photographers. We will be using Dmitry Shumanev Photogpraphy for every one of our productions from here on out. Thank you! read more

Dmitry Shumanev was recommended by a friend and I could not have been more pleased with the results. The consummate professional, his experience is revealed the moment you arrive at his studio. He is easy to talk to which allows you to relax throughout the session. Although he has a great eye for detail he moves from one pose to the next wasting little of your time. My agent, friends and casting have all commented positively about my new shots so when it's time for new ones, I won't hesitate to visit Dmitry Shumanev again. read more

We decided on Terranea Resort in Palos Verdes for the location for our photography. This is a good location as the property allows public access to its grounds, so we did not need to organize with the property in advance. Dmitry spent over two hours with us in various locations throughout the property. He is very easy to work with. We enjoyed his company and love the photos that he has produced. We highly recommend him for family or portrait photography. read more

Dmitry did a fantastic job. The free engagement photos that he did helped my husband and I understand how to make ourselves look the best in photos. He knows what he is talking about. The guests were raving about how they too felt that he was able to get all of the aspects of the wedding. I recommend him to any couple looking for an affordable photographer that will really work with you. read more

It was a cool experience and Dmitry did a wonderful job. He was very professional and the photos were great! I notified him with a little lead time and he did a wonderful job of assuring me that everything would work out, and it did.

I like Dmitry Shumanev "view" on how to capture emotion thru the lens. He is very approachable, and an easy person to talk to. His demeanor as a person makes him able to listen and act based on his interaction with you rather than to just get it done. I have heard great things about his capabilities. read more
