As the owner of a real estate staging company, I have used Steve, owner and operator of Whysall…read morePhotography, for several years now to photograph special, niche listings. His talent is that special blend of science and art that not only makes a listing highly marketable, but also captures the essence of the property. Recently, I hired Steve to photograph an impromptu wedding of a dear friend that was being held at my house. Keenly aware that my experience as a professional home stager in no way qualifies me to act as a wedding planner, I was very worried that the event would fall short of the bride's expectations. In addition, I was concerned that my modest house would not provide an adequate backdrop for Steve to capture the special moments of the day. I have always been a huge fan of Steve's work, but now my appreciation of his expertise and artistic talents is even greater! Upon arriving, he performed his usual "walk-through" to determine the positive attributes and challenges of the venue. Very quickly he established a strategy for shooting the wedding (no rehearsal...totally "off-the-cuff"), and within the first hour was in his "artistic groove" as I like to call it! The resulting wedding photos are nothing less than magical; it looks as if the wedding took place at a five star hotel! Thanks to Steve's artistry, my friend has a wedding album filled with beautiful memories.

Steve worked with us to help us achieve our goal of getting some outdoor family photos. He was…read morepunctual, found us a great location by a nearby river, put us at ease, and took some awesome photos despite wind and a bit of rain. He was easy to communicate with, and delivered as promised. He even got into the water (in November!) to help us get a few shots of our son on the rocks in the river. He was also kind, considerate, and even thought to let our son be the lighting assistant for a few photos, which went a long way toward holding a teenager's interest. We are very appreciative of Steve's professional handling of our photo session and would highly recommend him to anyone seeking a professional photographer.

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

We received them promptly and would highly recommend her to anyone needing an event photographer in the area.

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.

He came to the bridal suite ahead of the wedding and we had a great time preparing. He made sure to get all of the photos I wanted while also doing it quickly and efficiently.

He saved the day when the DJ showed 5 hours late, he worked with my bridesmaids for best positions to stand, and he made everyone smile. I am still getting compliments from those who attended the wedding saying he was incredible and so FUN! He encouraged people to get on the dance floor while also enjoying himself. Do yourself a favor a book Michael for your wedding, or really any event. I only have some sneak peak highlights and I'm already in love. He is incredibly talented and a wonderful, down to earth good person. We love you Michael!

When looking for a stateside reception photographer after our destination wedding,I was referred to…read moreSpence Photography. We reached out to Molly and David via email and first met David in his studio in Frederick. The space is so super cool that I wanted it to be apart of my house. It was this cool industrial space that makes you say "whoa this place rocks!" David completed a custom quote for us since we didn't need a full day photographer and we found it very fair. Payment was easy over their website and Molly was great at communicating with us about timeframes for everything. We scheduled David far in advance. After we secured our date, we received a coffee mug and a small bag of coffee in the mail to say thank you. I loved the personal touch. It made my day. Then at Christmas time we received a tree ornament with both our names and est. year. Again, super cute awesome thoughtful idea. Tha day of the event, Molly and David were at the location well before the scheduled time and stayed well after when they should have. My guests loved them both and their photo booth that they brought with them. I would work with them again in a heartbeat. As a matter of fact, I have a professional event coming up and are using Spence again! Last, but not least, several weeks after our event, we received an adorable USB drive in the mail with all of our images. We love David and Molly. They are genuinely fantastic people:)
