    It was such a joy getting to know Svat, and having him as our photographer. Svat began by sitting down with me for coffee and talking about his work. His work was beautiful, and he was a kind, considerate person, so we hired him without hesitation. Svat took beautiful photos of our wedding and reception. The quality was high, and the emotions and celebration can be felt through each photo. He even got aerial photos of the ceremony site! I will hold onto these photos fondly, and am already thinking about what we can work with Svat on next! I would love to have him take family photos, couple photos, etc. in the future. Svat really cares about the people he works with, and wants them to be happy with their photos. Svat went above and beyond to capture our special day. I highly recommend him as a photographer for your wedding or other special event. Thanks for everything, Svat!

    Honestly, I don’t even know where to begin — Sviat is AMAZING. From the very first message, he was super responsive, kind, and professional. On the wedding day, he made us feel totally at ease, even though we were both a little nervous in front of the camera. He has such a calm and friendly energy, and somehow managed to capture all the little in-between moments — the laughs, the happy tears, the glances — everything. Our photos are STUNNING. I seriously cried when I saw them for the first time. Not only is he incredibly talented, but he genuinely cares about his work and his clients. You can feel it. If you’re looking for someone who will go above and beyond to make your day special and deliver beautiful photos you’ll treasure forever, Sviat’s your guy. Thank you again for everything!!

    We’re obsessed with our photos!! Svat totally got our vibe and made the whole shoot feel super natural - nothing felt forced or awkward. He’s got an amazing eye and such a chill, positive energy. Can’t recommend him enough!
