Having Sonya as our wedding photographer was the best decision. Sonya was highly recommended by a friend and we were immediately drawn to her stunning work and her artistic vision. Working with Sonya was absolutely wonderful. She made everything seamless during one of the most stressful events. She is a consummate artist with vision and experience, and our wedding photos are gorgeous. Sonya's warm personality and presence made us feel relaxed during our wedding day. Sonya has an amazing ability to blend into her environment, often taking photos unnoticed. She is is very professional, a great communicator, kind, punctual and responsive. We highly recommend Sonya and cannot thank her enough.

Taking photos with Sonya was the first time we really took any couple photos. We felt a little uncertain about how to pose at first, but Sonya made us feel so at-ease and we were able to have fun with it.
Our venue was the California Academy of Sciences, which has some complicated lighting restrictions because of the live animals, as well as some dimly-lit spaces. Sonya did a walk-through with us ahead of the wedding to make sure she’d be ready to shoot high-quality photos within these requirements in all the spaces we were planning to use.
On the day of our wedding, Sonya was everywhere and nowhere at the same time. She captured all of the important moments, as well as the little details that made our day so special. She also took many amazing candid shots of our friends and family. The photos are all so beautiful, even more so than we could have imagined. Sonya also made us a slideshow with highlights from the day. It’s been so fun to relive the wedding, and all our family and friends loved the photos as well!
