I cannot say enough about how much we enjoyed working with Swat for our holiday party photos! Swat responded within hours of my initial request and by the end of the day we were confirmed and contracted. Swat is not only super professional and produces great work, but he is engaging and fun! Our guests really enjoyed the experience and the photos are terrific! I look forward to having Swat part of our next event - he will forever be our preferred photographer for ANY event! Thank you Swat!!!

Syvat was not only amazing at capturing photos of all the guests, but he also went above and beyond to help with any technical issues. He quickly became a favorite among everyone he met..such a friendly, genuine person with incredible talent. His photos are absolutely beautiful! I highly recommend booking him for your next event..you won’t regret it.

Svyat was incredible! He was a pleasure to work with and delivered exceptional results. We had a challenging group with young children and a difficult location but he guided our group through the photo session with ease. Very engaging with the kids too. We will undoubtedly use him in the future and we’ve already recommended him to friends and family that need a photographer as well.

Svyat is top tier. He was absolutely amazing to work with. He is very professional, kind, and he is the bomb at what he does! He is excellent at communicating and responding promptly to any and all questions or concerns. He did our family photos and he did disappoint. The pictures came out so beautiful. He was so patient with our cranky toddler, and feisty fur baby. He helped us with poses and locations to get the best images. The quality of his work is top tier. I would highly recommend Svyat. Can’t wait to work with him on our upcoming holiday photos

Svat did a fantastic job capturing great images at a recent event. From the time we connected, to checking in a day before the party, to arriving early the day of the event, to the delivery of the photos, Svat was a pleasure to work with. We are very pleased with the photographs he took and will definitely hire him again. Thanks, Svat!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
In some cases, a client may wish to cancel the shoot and request a refund of the deposit. Unfortunately, I do not offer deposit refunds, as a portion of that payment goes to the Thumbtack platform as a fee for your request. Additionally, this is a common policy among most vendors, as the deposit serves as a confirmation of your genuine intent to move forward with the photoshoot.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I usually suggest scheduling a call right away so we can go over all the details and also have a chance to get to know each other. After that, I document everything and send it in our Thumbtack chat — that way, none of the important information gets lost.
What types of customers have you worked with?
Most of my clients are truly the best — very respectful and thoughtful people who value my creativity and the effort I put into my work. In return, I do everything I can to deliver results that leave a lasting impression and create the most positive memories of working with me.
