Svetlana is amazing! She helped me work out outfit ideas leading up to the shoot and chose a great location. On the shoot, she was so kind and encouraging. She helped a lot with directing for poses and positions. I ended up with a lot of usable photos for multiple platforms. I can't recommend Svetlana enough! read more

While the final photos turned out solid, our photographer completely missed taking our scheduled wedding photos at UT Austin -- a location we had clearly emphasized was deeply meaningful to us. We are giving 2 stars because this was a very important part of our wedding day, and those photos never happened. We had clearly communicated ahead of time that we wanted photos at UT Austin since it's where my wife and I met. We provided detailed parking information, and she mentioned that she had previously taken photos at the university, so we did not anticipate any issues. Unfortunately, she did not arrive at the university in time, and those photos never happened. It was especially disappointing because we even saw another bride and groom meeting their photographer who arrived as planned. Those pictures were meaningful to us, and there was no way to recreate that moment with everyone. It also put a damper on the day because the rest of our wedding party arrived on time and were ready for photos. It was awkward having everyone gathered and waiting without a photographer there, especially after we had planned so carefully around that location.She did offer to stay an extra hour for the after-party and to schedule another session on a different day. We appreciate her effort to make it right; however, after-party coverage wasn't something we had planned or prioritized, and it didn't replace the significance of the UT Austin photos. Rescheduling would have required another trip and redoing hair and makeup, and we were leaving immediately afterward for our honeymoon, making it unrealistic. Overall, while the final images were solid, missing such an important and clearly communicated location was very disappointing and took away from what should have been a seamless part of our wedding day. read more

Svetlana is a phenomenally talented photographer capable of capturing the best side of our family in the most beautifully natural way. She's taken our family photos several times over the past decade and so incredibly grateful for her amazing artist's eye. She's so easy to work with, professional yet with a comfortable approach and fun personality that brings out the best of us in our family photos -and business headshots. Highly recommend Svetlana for all your personal photography needs! read more

We are so thankful Svetlana was able to do both our wedding and engagement photos. She has an incredible eye for beauty and knows exactly how to make the most of your space and lighting. Not being natural models, we were both nervous about how to pose without looking awkward. Svetlana guided us through the entire process and was able to make the posed photos look natural, while capturing a bunch of candid ones along the way. She was very familiar with our venue (Villa Antonia) and also suggested a ton of cool spots for our engagement photos. She worked very efficiently for both photo sessions and was able to get tons of shots and locations in a relatively short time window. If you are looking for someone who is incredibly talented and you want one less thing to stress about, I highly recommend hiring Svetlana as your wedding photographer!! read more

We did a family photo session with Svetlana for our son's first birthday. We didn't make it the full 60 minutes because he is 1 but we did about 40 minutes and ended up with like 200 amazing photos! These will be photos we have on our walls for forever. She was also so relaxed and nice and came to our house which made it so easy. She guided us but the photos all looked natural and organic. We also got the photos within 2 weeks even though it was the holidays. She is great! read more

An incredible and one of the most sought after Austin wedding photographers! Once I booked her, I just relaxed as I knew I was in good hands. At the wedding, she knew exactly what to do and what shots to take; she guided us all through the shoots and made it very easy and enjoyable. And always with a smile on her face! She'll do whatever it takes to capture a good shot, even will climb a balustrade (and yes, she did!). She has an eye for beauty and she's a perfectionist!

Svetlana is awesome! I really can't recommend her enough. She did both my bridals and our wedding, and the photos came out beautifully. She captured all the must-have shots and also customized the sessions so that they were uniquely us. She was very open to the moment and corralled our chaotic family into the best group shots we've taken. We ended up printing them off and sending them to everyone. I felt completely comfortable around her, and she got the shots we wanted without disrupting the magic of the day -- that's truly a talent and an art. read more

Svetlana Photography is amazing. Great shots, easy to work with, friendly, and most importantly beautiful photos to remember for a lifetime. Her photography really captures the moment and draws you in. read more

Svetlana captured our wedding day exactly as I remember it. Her photos are crisp with colors that pop. Prior to our wedding she listened to our input about shots that were important to us and during the event she gave feedback about ways to make the poses more photogenic. She was flexible with our requests during the wedding but still managed to capture a variety of shots while keeping us on schedule with our venue's timeline. It's easy to see that Svetlana is experienced in her field and I'm glad I trusted her to make the memories of our big day last a lifetime! read more

Svetlana Frolova was a strict, no-nonsense professional that took *magnificent* pictures of our wedding. She was worth every single penny, and gets our recommendation without question! read more

Svetlana photographed our wedding at Villa St. Clair in August. We have nothing but wonderful things to say about the job she's done. Very professional, very assertive (which is necessary when dealing with our group), yet not rude or mean. The photos turned out phenomenal and on time. The price was very affordable. Overall, a great service and we'd recommend Svetlana to anyone wanting a great photographer at their wedding. read more

Svetlana came highly recommended by both our church and reception venue. After reviewing Svetlana's amazing work on her blog, my husband and I knew her style fit us perfectly. We had an indoor church wedding followed by an indoor reception, so we wanted a photographer who was experienced with indoor photography (as well as outdoor photography!). Svetlana shot our engagement photos and our wedding, and we loved every minute of working with her. My husband and I (2 engineers) are not natural models, but Svetlana arrived with such enthusiasm and knew exactly how to pose us (and make it look natural!). She was also able to keep up with the chaos of the wedding day, capturing everything from my bridals to us dancing the night away. When the bridal party arrived 30 minutes late and I was feeling quite anxious, Svetlana knew exactly what pictures she wanted to take and what pictures were on our shot list and got to shooting away. Her positivity and professionalism saved the day! The quality and creativity of Svetlana's work is invaluable. We'll definitely use Svetlana for all of our future photography needs and highly recommend her :) read more

Svetlana is an amazing photographer. A true artist. She was our photographer for bridal portraits, bridal boudoir, and for our wedding. We haven't seen the wedding photos yet, but the sneak peeks that she's revealed do not disappoint. I also love that she offers you a credit towards prints if you recycle at your reception. I'd definitely recommend her for anyone's photo needs. read more

Svetlana is a preferred vendor with our venue (Villa Antonia) and had a glowing reputation. I first fell in love with her work when on our venue's website since most of their photos were captured by her. The first time I met her in person was the day of the wedding and I needed help getting dressed. Svetlana actually helped me get into my corset bra, shoes, and wedding dress the day of the wedding because everyone else was behind on their hair & makeup. I felt embarrassed having to ask her, but she immediately made me feel so comfortable. She is one of the kindest people I've met and you can tell she is extremely dedicated to her work. She was incredibly professional and told us exactly what to do - where to stand, what to do with our hands, etc. which eased our minds. All of our family members and guests loved her! We received our photos after the wedding very quickly (2-3 weeks) which included the bridal portraits I had taken the day of the wedding, as well. My goodness, I can't even look at our wedding photos without crying! Svetlana was able to capture all of the most important moments while somehow still managing to find the time to capture those precious candid moments, as well. She has the incredible ability of capturing raw emotion in every photograph so it takes me back to the day of the wedding every time I look at the photos. Thank you so much Svetlana for taking such remarkable photos at our wedding. We will truly cherish them forever! I would definitely recommend booking Svetlana for your photography needs. We will definitely be contacting her for future sessions when it's our anniversary! read more

Svetlana is amazing! She photographed out wedding on 4/17/15 and took beautiful pictures. She seemed to be everywhere at once and was very efficient with photos. read more

Svetlana was a joy to work with! She took my engagement, bridal and wedding pictures - we keep getting compliments on all the pictures! She has a truly artistic eye, and captures not only great shots, but memorable moments. Her sense of composition is truly great, and she makes you feel at ease during the shoots, and goes at your comfort level and pace. During the wedding, she is literally everywhere, capturing candid moments yet always having you as her priority and focus. I would enthusiastically recommend her to anyone wanting an awesome photography experience! read more

Svetlana is awesome! Her work is amazing and she was a pleasure to work with for our wedding. She was very knowledgeable about our venue (Villa Antonia) and she had good suggestions for our pictures. We did an engagement session which was great to get to know each other. We were so excited to get our pictures back and we LOVED all of them! We ordered a wedding album from her and it turned out amazing! She's very professional, easy to get in touch with and fun to work with! Definitely recommend her! read more

Svetlana did my bridal session and our engagement session and wedding photography back in 2008. I must say how lucky I feel to have found her when I did! Flash forward to now and with my 2 year old daughter I have had a string of very disappointing photographers since she was born. I realize now what a treasure Svetlana is and will stop making the mistake of looking at anyone else! Svetlana is not only a great photographer who captured AMAZING images, she also always delivered the product she promised and went above and beyond to make sure we were happy. She even met with me for wine and appetizers to make sure our coffee table book was just perfect. She also gives you all your images on CD, which to me is sooo important. I also love that she does not have to rely on fancy 'edits' to make her photos beautiful (like most, subpar 'photographers' do these days). Svetlana's photos are amazing all on their own! Not only is she naturally talented, she is always working hard by taking classes to better herself as a photographer, which to me is very commendable. She is also so super nice and fun and I really enjoyed having her around for both the wedding and the engagement/bridal sessions. Looking back, I realize how truely lucky we were to have her as our wedding photographer, because this is one even you truely don't ever get a 'do over' on. Trust Svetlana with this special event (or any event, really) and you will not be sorry! read more

Svetlana and her photos are absolutely amazing!! We used her for our engagement pictures and wedding at Becker Vineyards. She was one of the featured photographers at our venue and I loved how she was able to capture the natural beauty of the Hill Country, I felt like so many of her pictures could be featured on a magazine cover. We were so pleased after our first meeting with her; she is professional, outgoing and funny, and made us feel completely at ease about the whole process. She was so flexible and responsive when planning our engagement shoot, as we live in Houston and planned the engagement pictures in Austin. Her years of experience showed as she listened to our vision and picked the perfect locations and backdrops for our pictures. On our wedding day, she was a one woman show! She captured the day flawlessly and our pictures were gorgeous! She took time to capture the details of our wedding as well as the intimate moments we shared with each other, family, and friends. We look forward to reliving our wedding day through her photos for many years to come and HIGHLY recommend her for any photography needs! read more

Svetlana was wonderful. I can not say enough good things about her . She is professional and took the pictures that my daughter and her finance wanted. She checked each photo after she took it to make sure that she had the shoot. The church where my daughter was married in has some architectural features that I was unaware of until I looked a the photos. She emailed each time that we were meeting to make sure that I was still going to be there. She sent several emails back and forth before the wedding to check on things. My daughter is in the military and so was not able to be there at the first meeting. When she came home the week before the wedding Svetlana was able to meet with us when we needed to . In addition my daughter is getting to keep the CD . I also like the fact that the photos will be done in a book format. My niece is going to use her also. So I would definitely recommend her. read more
