Both John and Tracy were truly exceptional and we could not be happier with the choice we made! We had both an engagement shoot and the wedding and booked their package which offers both sessions. They both listened attentively to our needs and did not miss a single thing! We hardly even knew that they were there and could not believe how gorgeous the photos turned out! I could not recommend this dynamic duo with any more excitement than I do. They are true professionals, they are so kind, warm and friendly, and they both love what they do and it shows in their work. Thank you John and Tracy for capturing the memories for Doug and I! You have made our day so much more more special and your services are so appreciated!

We couldn't have asked for a better wedding photographer! Serge made us feel so comfortable in…read morefront of the camera, and what really stood out was how comfortable he made all of our guests feel too. He was so friendly, upbeat, and brought such great energy throughout the day. One of my favorite moments was watching him give our friends and family little photography tips while they were taking pictures of us on their phones. It was such a funny and thoughtful touch. He was professional, dedicated, and captured every important moment beautifully. The final photos exceeded our expectations, and everything was delivered on time. We're so happy with the results and would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a talented photographer who is also a joy to work with.

When we decided to do this photo shoot, we wanted that artist to show the world our love story and…read morecapture every moment and detail in each photo from the begining until the end. We are so grateful that we met Serge and had the ability/talent to bring that out of us into reality. Our story begins with me and my wife meeting at the gym in a cycle studio for the first time years ago. The gym is our most sacret place for both of us. So we agreed to discuss our ideas to Serge. His reaction became very possitive, motivating which gave us the confident that we needed. My wife is also a coffee lover and he suggested to take some pictures in a fancy coffee shot. It was hilarious and different but absolutely loved it!! We also both love nature and like to spend time outdoors. He took us to a magical place that is relaxing and unforgettable. We had a specific time of the day to perform our photo shoot, unfortunately, we were running late and my wife was very worried if we would have enough time to fit all our plans. At the same time Serge had other appointments after our photo shoot. He called to check on us to see if everything was as planned. We then explained the situation. Took it so calm and professionally that he understood what we were going through. This helped build back our confidence and encouraged us to continue as we talk about. Planning for a huge photshoot does take alot of time and energy to make it perfect. He explained that everything will be amazing but it wasn't amazing, it was EXTREMELY WONDERFUL AND BEYONG OUR EXPECTATIONS. We shared our ideas with him and later brought everything we mention to reality. It was all detailed to perfection and nothing was left out. He's skills were organized neatly that it was breathtaking. The experience we had was so much fun, exciting, and perfect that we can't stop talking about it and thanking Sokolov Photgraphy for everything they did for us. That's why we want to share this incredible experience with everyone. Once again, thank you Serge for the time and effort you put into our pictures. It means so much to us. And we love every single on of them. Rob & Cindy

Chris's photojournalism style felt much more real -- like it would capture all the tumble and energy of my two little boys Chris was super accommodating about scheduling -- even when we had to change at the last minute. He drive to No Va to meet us. We went for a hike in the woods and he snapped hundreds of shots. He rarely imposed on us, but let us act naturally. He was particularly good at letting our boys run wild, working hard to capture that energy and joy Most important, we loved the shots he sent -- as did the grandparents!

I had an idea that I wanted to come to life and he delivered just that! He helped me find a location to do my photoshoot. We were battling potential heavy rains, harsh light and high humidity on this day but he was extremely flexible with the environment and schedules. He delivers great quality photos unique to each person/ session. His turnaround time is great as well. So glad I found him as I am looking forward to including Eric and his work in more of my life's milestones.

Johnny shoots film and develops everything by hand- the photos he took are definitely one-of-a-kind and his dedication to his clients and his work truly shows.

You can trust this man with you and your loved ones' important life moments. Whether it's a team photo, Julie's graduation, or Gracie's baptism, I'm calling Alio Graphics.

We are beyond grateful that we chose Dave as our wedding photographer! He is absolutely amazing…read more From the very beginning, he was incredibly responsive and easy to communicate with, which gave us so much peace of mind. On our wedding day, everything ran super late because of a makeup issue. Dave was so patient and flexible with timing - it never felt rushed or stressful. He kept taking photos the whole time and guided us with natural posing so we didn't look awkward, which was such a relief. We had a small wedding in a little church, and at first I worried there wouldn't be any good spots for photos. Somehow, Dave worked magic and captured the most beautiful images - gorgeous, candid, and natural, never over-styled. Even though it was an extremely hot day, he kept a smile on his face the whole time and made us feel so comfortable. The results blew us away. Every single photo feels alive, authentic, and full of joy. We couldn't have asked for better memories of our special day.
