My fiance and I already hired somebody to shoot our wedding but with the encouragement from our families we decided to take engagement pictures, which we did not plan on doing. We asked our photographer to do it who is awesome as well, but she was already booked and unfortnately couldn't do it last minute. We searched and searched, and on a recommendation from a co-worker, recommended sina from valyia photography. She shot pictures for her sister's wedding and said they were amazing! She was so nice on the phone, luckily she made time for us eventhough her schedule was packed! Immediately after our initial meeting, we just clicked. She made us feel at ease, and comfortable. While shooting, my fiance and I were just ourselves, having fun. That is extremeley important to have with a photographer, someone that you are comfortable with and easy to work with. We recieved our pictures, and they were AMAZING!!!! She truly captured us as a couple, that is the best way I can describe it. Our families and friends gushed over them, She did a beautiful job! We could not ask for more! On top of that, she was soo awesome to work with! She is extremely responsive, listened and answered all my questions. I would highly recommend her to anyone that would like to have GREAT pictures!!
