User1131659 Sent on 04/10/2013Vadim is wonderful!! Our wedding pictures are absolutely beautiful, and we received them within 2 weeks of our wedding! Vadim arrived on time and got right to work. He made sure to stick to the timeline we set before the wedding (which we really appreciated!), without sacrificing any of the shots we wanted or making us feel rushed. Even our guests commented on how wonderful our photographer was and how he seemed to love being there taking pictures. We highly recommend Vadim as a wedding photographer! -
User1071451 Sent on 01/17/2013Vadim photography was the best I have ever worked with. Vadim himself was so nice, kind, patient,and talented. He put up with a lot that day, from a huge dress mishap to dealing with my crazy family and was so sweet the whole time. Also,. I am not the easiest person to photograph and he made me look beautiful. I cannot recommend him enough!! I spoke to just about every photographer in Tampa and there was just something about him and his pictures that made me want to use his services and I am so glad that I did! -

Brittany Sent on 09/27/2012My husband and I could fill a book with all of the great feedback we have for Vadim. From the first time we met with him, we knew we wanted him to capture our day for us and we booked with him right away. His enthusiasm and passion is clear when he talks about photography and client satisfaction is a #1 priority for him.
He has a keen eye for his surroundings and positioning and his mastery of photography was evident in the photographs we received from him. Your photographer is the most important vendor you select to capture and preserve the memories of your big day. Vadim not only captures these moments, but makes them even more beautiful and special than you can imagine.
Another reason we like Vadim is his wonderful personality. He is very friendly, very responsive (always emails very quickly), always smiling and our guests loved his energy and desire to capture every moment he could. They even said the next time they need a photographer they would love to book him as well! Just from watching him work, everyone could see his passion and energy. We really hardly noticed him half the time, but that's what was great, he was never in the way, but he was continuously shooting and catching creative shots. He is a HARD WORKER! He was running around non-stop all day for us! He captured shots from his own expertise of what would look beautiful as well as specific shots we had requested, and the results were AMAZING! And, the pictures were done in less time than we had anticipated, which was an even bigger surprise! We received the final images only a week and a half after the wedding! He knows you're excited to see them too!
You cannot go wrong with selecting Vadim as your photographer. You will be more than satisfied with the results. Just meet with him once and you will want to book his services as well. THANK YOU VADIM! Can't wait to work with you again in the future!! -

Salim Sent on 08/02/2012FAST TURNAROUND TIME
We are not been married for a month now, and all of our family has already seen all of the wedding shots that Vadim provided us. How often do couples get to say that?!! I don't follow the wedding photography industry closely, but I'm pretty sure the industry standard turnaround time is around 3 months.
Much credit has to be given to Vadim for having the diligence to plow through the post processing so quickly to get us so many frame-worthy images. Not over-processed with obscene amounts of contrast and saturation like you see with some photographers.
VADIM IS AWESOME
All the days with Vadim went by so smoothly, the entire Sangeet and Reception party had a great time with him. Besides producing great work, he brings great energy and enthusiasm to the event, and has great people skills. Our Sangeet and Reception party commented on how fun he was to work with.
I must say besides being a professional, he has a heart too! Our package did not include capturing the ceremony at the church. We figured he will capture us in our outfits at the venue anyways, so why pay extra to have him spend an hour at the ceremony; not to mention our church doesn’t allow any pictures taken inside during the ceremony. However, i was surprised to see Vadim waiting outside the church for us to get some shots of us as newly weds. He got the address from my brother and made a point to be there, without us asking him to do so.
Vadim’s work is great, but I'm not going to waste any more time on that since you can just check out his work for yourself to see if you like his style. The things you won’t notice from their website is how hard he works to get the right shot, from the best angle, with the most interesting compositions. And when he isn't doing posed shots, we hardly even noticed him.
Vadim comes up with weird and creative ideas, and covers all angels with very diverse shots. Our engagement shoot pictures were just awesome. All my friends and family are still in awe. He has a knack of capturing the right shot in the correct lighting and making it picture perfect.
MY ONLY NITPICKS
There were only a couple of shots that we felt were missed during the reception, but these were generally things that would probably not seem terribly significant unless you were told the back story. It was probably our own fault for not generating a short list of 'definitely capture this!' shots, so this is something I'd recommend for those of you still planning your wedding.
SUMMARY
Vadim has a very pleasant personality, is friendly creative, and has the intellect to quickly understand the couple’s expectation and delivery beyond it. Here's what I boil my three reviews down to - Check out their website, see if you like their style. If you like his style, and have the budget to book them, then RUN don’t walk to get them for your wedding date! Vadim has been a pleasure to work with, and is a shining example of professionalism and dedication to customer satisfaction. I cannot recommend him highly enough. -

Angela Sent on 11/03/2010Vadim was flawless! He came to us as a referral from another local photographer and from the moment we met him it was obvious why Vadim is so highly regarded in the photographers’ community.
We planned our wedding for a year from out of town, and it was great that he was so responsive to emails, phone calls, and last minute meetings. A few days before the wedding, we had the opportunity to do a pre-wedding shoot. We saw first hand how creative and how much fun it was to work with Vadim. It gave us a chance to relax together before the wedding, and Vadim really made this great experience part our wedding memories.
The day of the wedding, Vadim carried out the same professional, enthusiastic, efficient, unobtrusive, and creative manner since the day we met. He captured every moment of our wedding beautifully. Even our guests commented on how they could “just tell” he was a great photographer and they couldn’t wait to see the pictures! Neither could we!
By the time we were back from our honeymoon, our pictures were ready! It is truly amazing to see how Vadim captured our day. For the rest of our lives, we will have gorgeous pictures to show our friends and families!! We can't thank him enough!

Mollie Sent on 11/25/2009Vadium was so great the day of the wedding... so understanding and helpful in keeping us on track. He was so pleasant and his disposition was unlike any photographer I have ever met before. I have been to weddings where photographers have been very stern and seemed to be "put out" when you asked for certain shots or asked "will you take one of us?" Never Vadium, though.... and always with a smile. That is so important when looking for a photographer and so often over looked. Amazing shots are only half the battle, the ability to make your guest feel comfortable around your photographer is so important too (it's how moments are captured), and Vadium excels at this. People always say a good photographer you never know is there... I disagree. A really good photographer feels like just another friend at the wedding... only with a MUCH nicer camera then anyone else. :-)
He did an AMAZING job... We don't just like the pictures.... We love them! Everyone is just floored by them! I wish that I had a tape recorder with me over the past few days, so I could have told you all of the wonderful things that our friends, family, and loved ones have been saying about him, word for word. My facebook page has tons of comments about how wonderful our photography is and how great he was. I have heard everything from "It looks like a fashion shoot for Vogue" to "Dude, your wedding photographer f**kin' kicked ass!" (Pardon my French... silly boys can't say anything with dropping the f-bomb... at least you know they mean it. lol)
We had a pirate wedding so there was such a strong possibility that our pictures would come out cheesy. Come on... a pirate wedding is a little cheesy. But he was able to capture modern elegance with and edge... the pictures are simply amazing.
He also was very helpful (I did nothing but say I want...) in getting a second shooter to take pictures of us (we were on a pirate ship and we had someone take a group shot as we went under a bridge...so cool) at an extra fee. He was really willing to go that extra mile. I hope he puts the pictures of us on his site so you can see how great our picture are...
I HIGHLY recommend Vadim. I have been thinking about doing a 'Trash the Dress' with Vadim... but I just can't bring myself to destroy my wedding dress... But I almost would to work with Vadim again.... A+++++++
