    My husband and I booked Masha for an engagement shoot (in October) and our wedding (April). We knew we'd love the opportunity to get to know Masha and her style but didn't know how much we would fall in love with her and our photos. We both cannot imagine a better experience and end result! For our engagement shoot, Masha and Rich drove us around LA to three different locations -- I had four costume changes. I still haven't been able to narrow it down to below 60 favorites. For our wedding, they arrived during hair and makeup and stayed until the very end. Everyone has commented how nice they were to work with and how amazing our photographs are. Communication has been really easy and it's nice to work with someone you can trust when it comes to something so important. She's working on our album right now -- can't wait!!

    Wow! Masha's Photography was amazing!!! They went over and BEYOND for our wedding. We found Masha and Rich when we went to a Wedding Expo event and are so grateful that we did!!! We were blown away not only by their photos, but by their personalities! We totally meshed! We got their info and they met us a few months later at a coffee shop near our home so we could figure out what package we wanted. We didn't even interview any other photographers - there was no need! Masha did my boudoir photos as well and they were STUNNING! Never thought I could look like a model. ;-) Before the wedding, Masha and Rich were very communicative, so they could make sure they were going to be able to take the pictures we needed and wanted. Email, text, phone calls - whatever we needed! The day of the wedding they arrived early, around 9:30 am, so they could take photos of me when my hair and makeup and getting done. They took GREAT pictures of my husband getting ready as well, which was awesome because I think a lot of people forget about the grooms. They even had a hanger that said "Groom" on it to take a photo of his tux! Loved it!! What was really great about having two photographers (I can't recommend it enough) is that while we took pictures with Masha after the ceremony, Rich took pictures of cocktail hour - so we got all those great pictures of our family!! Masha and Rich continued to be amazing during the reception! They got all the photos we wanted, plus more! Their photo ideas were great! They even stayed with us after the reception took pictures of us for "end of the night" shots. They turned out so cute!!!! Our album - I can't brag about it enough!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not only are the pictures gorgeous, the album itself, put together by Masha, is breathtaking!!! It's so pretty and everyone loves it! I can't recommend Masha and Rich enough! You can trust your day to them - they are amazing and will take amazing pictures!

    We searched for a year before we found Masha and were extremely lucky to come across her website and work. Finding a great photographer was very difficult. Her art was unlike anything I had ever seen, the words I can use are amazing, original, emotional, committed, professional and heartwarming. Masha would go on to incorporate her expertise, guidance and many consultations to helpfully navigate us through our beautiful (and often stressful) journey that lasted more than a year. Our story with photos is priceless and so beautiful to us. Once we did our engagement session we were hooked, we knew that each time she would photograph us the results would be spectacular. We knew that when the big day would come, we would be in good hands. She managed so many good compositions we lost count. We have a metal cluster on our living room wall EVERYBODY comments on and a beautiful 20 page album. I never realized how much skill and time would be required for this to happen, she was perfect and professional throughout. She also never once limited her time with us, she was always there and put us first, this took a lot of pressure off us when so much is going on. She was constantly working and rarely took a break, she was like a machine! Our family and friends loved her and now can be added to the long list of people we know that fell in love with her as we did. As a Pakistani, we have lots of different events before the wedding day and Masha was very accommodating, patient and courteous with the extra details. She took time to really understand these customs so she could capture it in images and this she did WONDERFULLY. She would continue on to make our wedding experience EXCEPTIONAL. For us, she was the single best vendor in our wedding because she preserved each and every part forever. She is original and really, an artist with signature style that makes her work standout. I am so glad to say that our relationship did not end at the wedding but just began.

    Masha is amazing! I went to her for business headshots and got so much more than I bargained for. She makes you feel comfortable, confident, and coaches you the whole time. You can tell she is truly passionate about what she does and is such a professional. Thank you Masha for awesome photos!

    From the former Bride... Hire Masha's Photography! I am honored and humbled by her amazing work and if I could get married all over again (of course to the same person) I would without a doubt hire Masha as my photographer. I began planning the details of our wedding and became obsessed with anything WEDDING! It was a roller coaster ride of emotions during the wedding planning journey. I had a hard time making decisions because I was exposed to SO many wedding inspirations. But with the help of my decisive husband-to-be and my incredibly organized 'self', I started making SPECIFIC decisions a year into planning and this is how Masha came into my life! I fell in love with Masha's style and after a short phone call, I instantly knew she was the photographer for us. But we had to meet, sure enough Masha and Rich sealed the deal. And so our journey began with a whimsical engagement session. I used the photos taken from the engagement on my save-the-date card. Yah yah, sounds normal - most couples do that. Well, I had so many options to choose from that I turned my save-the date into a trifold card and my wedding invitation into a TWELVE PAGE BOOKLET. With that being said, I wanted to write this review not just for Masha but also for all future brides. Whether your wedding style is timeless and elegant, offbeat and eclectic, contemporary and modern, rustic and charming, ethnic and multicultural, one thing remains constant - Masha's Photography will capture your wedding style with stylish versatility. I've added some photos below to show you a reflection of who I was as a bride with Masha on my side as my photographer. I'd also like to add that she won an international award for one of our engagement photos. Hire Masha. She is an absolute joy to work with - and her co-camera man is pretty awesome. He helped ease the fellas (groom and groomsmen) into the moment naturally. Trust me - men need guidance.

    We were so lucky to find Masha!!! She did our engagement photos, and our wedding day photography. We had so much fun taking pictures and felt so comfortable with Masha. We recently received our wedding album and we have a copy of every picture from both of the events on a USB drive and have printed many separate photos to put up around the house. The photos turned out so much better than we ever could've imagined. Hiring Masha as our photographer was one of the best decisions we made. I knew photos were one of the most important parts of the wedding day and I'm so happy to have such beautiful photos to look back at.

    While planning for my wedding, I had told myself that I would not compromise for anything to have the best wedding photographer possible. Like all wedding couples, I did have a budget in mind for a photographer, and while walking through several bride shows, I hadn't see a photographer that made me say "that's my photographer"; I was beginning to lose hope and was going to settle for a decent photographer at a price within my budget. However, while attending one of the last bridal shows just as I was going to call it quits thinking I wouldn't find what I need in the last few aisles of the show, I came across Masha's Photography in the last aisle and one of her images capture my eye and I couldn't stop looking at it because it was so beautiful and unique. I started talking to Rich and Masha about what they had to offer and getting to know them a bit. I walked away feeling, these are the people I want as my photographer. It took a bit of convincing with my husband because it was quite a bit more than what we had budgeted for a photographer but I told him I wasn't backing down because I wasn't compromising on the photographer; we had to find a way to have Masha, if it meant getting the basics on everything else for the wedding. Not only were we able to have Masha as our wedding photographer; we also added on an engagement session, which really allowed us to learn about how they worked and gave Masha and Rich the opportunity to learn about who we were as a couple, making our wedding day even more special because they knew our personality and style so they could capture those special moments. I am very glad that I choose to have Masha as my photographer. She has a lot of passion and dedication to her work and it shows in her photography. Her artistic perspective is very unique and tells a little story in each picture. I liked her attention to detail and making sure that she gets a perfect shot every time. She is very patient and extremely professional. Masha and Rich are very easy to talk to, which helps if you have concerns or questions, they are very open to hearing what you have to say and are willing to work with you and make things work. I will definitely be recommending her work to friends and family, and hope to work with her again. I couldn't say enough good things about Masha and Rich, you'll just have to give them a chance and meet them yourselves.

While doing my search, I found that her pricing was a tad bit higher than the other photographers, but her reviews were much better so we went with her and we were not disappointed. She was definitely worth every single penny. During our maternity shoot, she made me feel extremely comfortable. I normally don't like my picture taken, and I thought the whole thing would be super awkward but Tiffany made it an easy and fun experience. During our newborn shoot, our daughter was just over a week old. My boyfriend kept calling Tiffany the baby whisperer because every time our daughter started to get fussy, Tiffany was able to calm her down instantly. She had great photo ideas and lots of props to choose from. She also had a nice seating area for us to sit in and watch the session with snacks and drinks. It was definitely a great atmosphere. Tiffany was very friendly, and professional. I would definitely use her again in the future, and would recommend her to anyone looking for a maternity/newborn photographer. She definitely goes above and beyond, even after the session is over. When she mailed us our digital images on the USB, she included a thank you card, and some goodies all wrapped nicely in a box. It looked very nice. Thank you Tiffany! We had a great time working with you and will hopefully see you again when we decide to have more children :) -Stacey, Adam and Stella.
