(But most of my friends just call me "Svet"!)
Hi, I'm SVETLANA.
I'm an Ohio Documentary Wedding and Family photographer currently based in Columbus, Cincinnati and Dayton.
Having photographed weddings for over a decade, I still find myself getting teary-eyed behind the lens. My goal is to encapsulate the essence of your special day—all the raw emotions, the candid moments, and everything in between.
As both an observer and an empath, I pour my whole heart into every shot, always searching for those small moments, the ones you might overlook but end up treasuring forever.
I’m a connector, a listener, and a natural observer. I may not be the only one who feels this way, but this work truly comes from my heart. I care about the people in your wedding photos, your families, your marriage, how much you will enjoy your wedding day, and how you will remember it.
The stories I love to tell are the ones that best reflect what matters most to you. Whether it’s a traditional tea ceremony, the signing of the ketubah, a cathedral wedding, or a mountain elopement with just the two of you - I want to capture you doing you.
So wherever your love story might take you,
I'd love a chance to work with you and document your celebration.
On a personal note...
As you take your vows with one another, I have some for you as well.
A Vow is a promise
As your photographer, I promise you that I will...
Let your day breathe and capture it timelessly as it naturally unfolds.
Always empower you to celebrate your love in
a way that feels authentic to you.
Create a space for you and your
families to feel free and be yourselves.
