From our first interaction with Tatiana during our prep call, I knew we were lucky to have her as our photographer! She was so much fun to talk to and we could instantly feel that she is such a genuine person! We love her natural approach with photography and free spirit energy! Our loved ones have told us that they can feel our joy through our breathtaking coastal and redwood photos! Tatiana took us to special spots that we had never seen before and we nearly had the beach to ourselves! My husband and I had our first dance on the beach listening to our favorite music that Tatiana played for us! It was more lovely than I could have ever imagined or hoped for. She also made us the most beautiful keepsake wedding photo album that we will be enjoying for years to come! I adore this magical album as it fills me with pride and joy and transports us to that magnificent day! Thank you Tatiana!!! We are forever grateful to you and hope to work with you again if the occasion presents itself! Blessings always! Nicole & George

We created our own numbering system on which ones were hard yes's and maybes. It was hard because we only managed to shave off one or two pictures every round, but it was pretty fun discussing why we wanted certain pictures and which ones would look on social media, for friends, in our home, etc. Thanks again Tatiana! I made the one that makes me look like a Kpop star as my profile pic, lol

We also appreciated the fact he did not include the price of an album in his fees. While he offered this as a service, it was not mandatory, like many of the other people we looked at. We just got our photos back tonight and could not be happier. We could not wait to yelp him! We highly recommend his services and also loved the fact he was the one who recommended our florist who also turned out to be simply amazing (Chestnut and Vine in Berkeley).
