I HIGHLY recommend Evgenia for your capturing your special moments!!! We absolutely loved working with Evgenia and Alina (and so did my mom), and we're in love with the photos!!! As a wedding photographer myself who has photographed many weddings, and looked through countless photographers for my friends weddings, stop looking, you need Evgenia!! The things I look for in a photographer are - Do you feel something from the photos? Can you feel the love, the joy, the joke your uncle cracked about having 10 kids? - Are the colors timeless? When you look at your wedding photos 10 years from now will you still love how they look? This is personal preference, but in my opinion Evgenia nails the colors and tones in her photos, especially the skin tones (If you're Asian, sometimes the skin tone comes out orange if a photographer doesn't know to correct for it) And after working with Evgenia I have so many things to rave about! - Her attention to detail- she'll spot that sunlight is hitting one person's face in a group photo and correct for it - She's on your side!! When you're roasting under the sun, and family members from both sides are asking to take photos with you and your "kitty timer" of tolerance for more photos goes off, Evgenia can recognize it and redirect the madness away - She's a pro dress fluff-er to make the train drape perfectly - She's there to tell your story through photos, document the candid, but also gives great instructions and posing cues - So very helpful. I had a day of request of taking instax film photos throughout the day/ceremony and Evgenia and Alina went- no problem, and knocked it out of the park - She has great vibes. I spent 10 hours over 2 days with her, and you just feel like you're in excellent hands. - The turn around time for the photos are crazy fast. Coming from Austin, TX where the standard delivery of a gallery is 4-6 months, being able to have the full gallery of almost 1000 photos within weeks, and being able to print off thank you cards with a photo, so amazing. read more

We truly cannot say enough good things about Evgenia--she went above and beyond in every way and exceeded all of our expectations. From the beginning, she took the time to meet with us to understand our vision and make sure we were aligned. We really felt like we got to know her before the big day, which made working with her feel effortless and natural. I gave her a detailed shot list of all the moments and details I wanted captured, and she nailed it--she didn't miss a single thing. On the wedding day, she was calm, friendly, and incredibly professional. She helped everyone in the wedding party feel at ease and watched the timeline without ever feeling rushed Evgenia brought a second photographer, which allowed them to capture every angle, detail, and candid moment. She also remained flexible and understanding throughout the day, checking in with us on how much time we wanted to spend taking photos vs. enjoying the party. She has such a creative eye and clear vision, and she helped guide us to the best locations for photos, always keeping our vibe and setting in mind. She delivered our sneak peeks within a couple of days, and we had our full gallery before we were even back from our honeymoon--it was so incredible to have our photos to look back on so quickly. Evgenia captured our wedding so beautifully, and we're forever grateful. We would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a talented, professional, and genuinely lovely photographer to capture their most important moments. We are so, so happy we chose her. read more

Evgenia and her team were an absolute dream to work with from start to finish. We first reached out more than a year in advance with just a few simple inquiry questions, and she still took the time to respond in incredible detail. Her entire process was transparent, easy to follow, and completely stress-free. Her payment options were flexible and accessible, allowing us to pay on our own timeline, which we really appreciated. We also had a meeting the week before the event where I could share exactly what we wanted, including reference photos for formal portraits. She listened to everything and executed it all perfectly. On the day of, she captured everything beautifully. We received nearly 1,000 fully edited, stunning photos. We were honestly blown away by the quality and the care she put into each one. We were also wonderfully surprised with how quickly the photos were returned to us. I have had friends who have taken months to get their photos back and we received ours in two weeks. Evgenia is truly amazing to work with, and I couldn't recommend her more highly. read more

Evgenia is truly the best photographer I have ever worked with!! I usually get really nervous about taking photos and not knowing how to pose, feeling silly, etc.. but she was so calm and sweet that I immediately was put at ease!! She was so fun and directed us perfectly!! I also was a sweaty mess so my hair was crazy and I was having dress malfunctions but she kept an eye on everything, and helped pose/positioned me so that you couldn't even tell there was an issue! I am also known to be so picky with photos, and I'm not lying when I say the second we opened our wedding album I fell in love with every single one!! She and Jose captured our special day so perfectly, all the emotions flooded back and we just keep looking at the photos over and over again lol! I am just over the moon! All of our guests we have sent photos too have also been texting us saying how amazing she is and what great photos we have!! We are so grateful that we found her!! We 1,000% recommend her!!! read more

We cannot thank Evgenia enough for capturing our 2/15/25 wedding in such a beautiful and heartfelt way. From the very beginning, she was incredibly kind, professional, and patient, making us feel so comfortable throughout the entire process.

The photos we received were more beautiful than we could have imagined! The quality is exceptional, and it was clear how much thought and artistry went into every shot. What impressed us most was how quickly she delivered the final images, allowing us to relive our special day almost immediately. We feel so lucky to have had Evgenia as part of our wedding journey, and we 100% recommend her services to anyone looking for a photographer in Puerto Vallarta. Thank you again for everything! read more

Evgenia is the most incredible photographer - HIRE HER!!! By far our favorite vendor who we worked with on our wedding. She beautifully captured the energy, the excitement and the love of our wedding day. She was super responsive, reliable, and we could not be more thrilled with the photos. Not to mention, she was incredibly kind and sensitive at every turn of the process with helping us develop our timeline run of show, and even went above and beyond to offer custom edits to remove medical devices to make us feel more secure in our bodies. She is an incredible photographer and if we ever have to recommend a vendor to someone for a wedding, she will be the first we recommend!!! read more

Evgenia and her team were absolutely fantastic! Our wedding photos are gorgeous - from the way they were shot to how they were edited - couldn't ask for better. Evgenia herself is wonderful, she is so kind and made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera. At the same time she is very organized and made sure that we got all of the shots that we wanted. After the wedding, she was very responsive and got our edited galleries to us quickly - impressive given there were hundreds of photos between the two nights we had her come! I would recommend Vallarta Photo to anyone looking for a top notch wedding photographer. read more

If I could give 6 stars I would! We needed a photographer less than two months before our destination wedding in Puerto Vallarta. I reached out to Evgenia, and she got back to me immediately saying she was surprisingly available (she usually books much in advance). The big day came and she was more than prepared, punctual, and professional! We were blown away with her team, their spontaneity and ability to problem solve, as well as capture the vision of the day, our guests, the ambiance, and our love. Her eye, lighting, and attention to detail were impeccable! I absolutely recommend Vallarta.Photo for every occasion! read more
