MEET EVGENIA

(Tampa Bay, Sarasota, Orlando areas photographer) 

Hey There!

Feel free to get to know me and the reason I do photography

Even though my path began by entwining my artistic flair with videography education and filming weddings, I later discovered a newfound adoration for photos. It was a wonderful secret passion that my heart desired more and more when I realized that I started taking more stills during celebrations. This was something that I loved doing for my couples as a complimentary gift, but surprisingly, my brides fell in love with my bespoke way of documenting their stories. Thus, my transition happened naturally.

Another factor was seeking my own happiness and getaway resort. As a dedicated mom of two boys, my older being autistic; I found myself giving everything to my family. However, my soul longed for a sanctuary where I could rest to be able to give them my all. And that sanctuary proved to be wedding photography. With a unique blend of photojournalistic approach and styled photography, I managed to weave my own authentic style of capturing events. I will always prefer how emotions can be artfully captured with all of their raw allure in contrast to staged poses. I wish my couples to be able to enjoy their iconic day with all of their loved ones, while I document their story naturally. You won’t find me tête-à-tête with you unless it is some formal family portraiture — which is also meaningful and special. After all, this might be the only time you will see them all gathered! But in essence, I’m almost invisible because my sole purpose is for you to feel like I’m not there. To unwind and surrender to your newlywed bliss without feeling the pressure to pose.

What distinguishes me from other professionals is my care for my couples which I channel through communication and speed. I love to build relationships because I value the trust that is put in my skills, so I always like to be that friendly face in whose portrayal you can safely store your memories. Through communication, I wish my brides to know me and feel relaxed in my presence — and not like a stranger who has just come to take a few shots of their wedding. As for speed, your wedding will unfold in a blink of an eye. That is why I make sure to react and perform fast when faced with a tight timeframe or under any weather conditions. No matter what happens, my beloved couples expect all their photos, and my job is to realize their wishes. But the highlight of my speed is my turnaround — two weeks! In addition, while the atmosphere of the wedding still beats vigorously in my heart, I pick the 10-15 best photos and deliver them to my couples the very same evening! Because who would wish to wait for months to share all those iconic photos? Not you? I believe so. Thus, if you feel my personality matches yours and that I’m the professional you seek, I would be delighted to hear from you.

Let’s celebrate your new chapter and create photographic heirlooms to cherish for years to come!

With love, Evgenia.
