Ksenia Vasenev Photography | Destination Wedding Photographer

We absolutely loved Ksenia! From our first zoom call to the day we received our photos, the entire experience was amazing. She was energetic, bubbly and positive throughout both the engagement session and our wedding day. She has this unique ability to make you feel comfortable which makes the entire process fun! Her photos speak for themselves - they are beautiful! We couldn't recommend her more. We're still getting compliments from out guests/bridal party on how much they loved our photographer! :)

Delightful. Professional. Creative. Calm but very chipper at the same time. Smiley. Amazing. Phenomenal. Enthusiastic. A dream to work with. These are just a few words that come to my mind when I think about Ksenia, our amazing wedding photographer. Im not sure my review can do her justice because Ksenia was my favorite professional to work with and one of the best decisions I made during the stressful wedding planning. I immediately fell in love with her aesthetic when I looked at her portfolio and knew our wedding photos would come out exactly as I would have wanted if we worked with her. But what really put Ksenia above all others was her professional and happy attitude that she puts into working with her clients. During our meetings, Ksenia was very positive and even though my husband wasnt too keen on hiring a photographer and having to pose for so many photos, Ksenia came up with creative ways to appease him that allowed us to get our photos in but also got maximum time to spend with her guests. You really dont know what its like to work with a photographer until the day of and I know it can be scary but let me tell you that Ksenia was the one that put us and our guests minds as ease when things didnt go as planned. She maintained her positive and happy demeanor throughout the entire long wedding day and snapped all the beautiful moments of the day. I had the pleasure of hiring her for both the rehearsal dinner cruise the night before and the wedding day so I got to see her in action TWICE! She was so on it. All our guests commented on how she was not intrusive in taking photos but she was Workin it all night! She was everywhere!! I dont know how thats even possible. On the wedding day, she had an assistant who helped her be even more present everywhere. It was such a dream working with Ksenia and I highly highly recommend her for your wedding photographer if you are even slightly drawn to her aesthetic. You will NOT regret it. Tip for the Bride & Groom - the only thing I wish I did better in the photos department is I wish I wrote out a better list of photos I wanted to get done and planned out exactly when they were going to happen. I half planned that part and thought it could happen naturally but that is just not the case in weddings..In the moment I thought would be OK but afterwards regretted not taking every single photo I wanted. I shouldve told Ksenia to hold me accountable to what I said I wanted before the wedding started because my brain didnt work the same once it started (too caught up in the moment). Im grateful I had two days to get all the photos in though so it worked out for me but if you only have one day, plan it out to the T!

We're so happy we were able to work with Ksenia for our wedding in July 2022. Everyone commented and said how much they enjoyed having her there. Her energy was infectious and made our entire party super comfortable throughout the process. She advised us on the hours we needed and didn't try to upsell us at all. We could not have chosen a better photographer for our event! We would choose her over and over again. Ksenia's photos are absolutely beautiful - full of life, vibrant, and bright. We were "happy crying" looking at these together the past few months and so excited to get these printed and up on our wall.

Ksenia is fantastic to work with. She is extremely professional, talented, warm and friendly. Our wedding photos turned out so greatthey were beyond what I couldve ever imagined! Ksenia is communicative and gives good direction without being overbearing. Many of my favorite photos are the ones that she got when people didnt know she was there capturing the beauty of the moment. I recommend her to everyone I know and I hope to get a chance to work with her again. A truly exceptional photographer

I booked Ksenia and her assistant Sophia for my wedding on a local farm. Just from seeing past couples photo on her website and reading her 'about me' portion and then via zoom call I knew that she would be an amazing fit. She has this calming, positive, and beautiful energy about her and the way she works! My family, husband's family, and guests all loved her. She takes the time to get to know you and what you are looking for in your photos. You can tell that she cares about you and she so so genuine and sweet. She reads people really well, and is able to engage them for amazing images! I was nervous on the day (obviously!) and she was able to identify that, calm me, and create some beautiful images. Ksenia is also open to trying different poses, and if that doesn't work, it's okay! She is transparent about pricing and able to work with your budget. I received so many stunning photos, I can't recommend her enough. Thank you, thank you, thank you Ksenia, I appreciate your hard work and your talent!
