An Unforgettable Experience with a True Professional When it came to choosing a photographer for a once-in-a-lifetime event, I knew that experience and reliability were paramount. While it's easy to get caught up in pricing, I made a conscious decision to prioritize talent and skill over cost, and I am so grateful that I did. The results were beyond my wildest dreams, a true testament to the old adage: you get what you pay for. Upon reviewing the photographer's portfolio, I was immediately impressed by the consistent quality and sophisticated style of their work. The galleries were filled with well-lit, professionally executed photographs, and it was evident that the photographer possessed specialized experience in wedding engagements. This high level of skill and a strong record of reliability were the decisive factors in my selection. The final deliverables were nothing short of spectacular. The photographs I received will be cherished for a lifetime and were of a quality that I could not have imagined or even considered possible. The investment was, without a doubt, well worth the cost. For anyone seeking a photographer, I cannot stress this enough: look for experience, reliability, and a style that speaks to you. In my case, it made all the difference, and I am left with a collection of memories that are as perfect as the day itself.

Aksana was an absolute JOY to work with. From the very beginning she was incredibly punctual, responsive, and easy to communicate with, which made planning our surprise engagement and mini celebration afterward completely stress‑free. On the big day, she captured every moment with such talent and grace. When we received the photos, my fiancée and I were genuinely over the moon, each image was stunning. Her ability to balance beautifully posed shots with candid, emotion-filled moments is truly exceptional. Aksana is everything you could ask for in a photographer: professional, creative, warm, and unbelievably skilled. I cannot stress this enough, I would book her again in a heartbeat. An easy 10/10.

Aksana was absolutely amazing to work with from start to finish. She helped me plan and capture a surprise proposal, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the very beginning, her communication was clear, thoughtful, and professional, which made the entire process stress-free. On the day of the proposal, she arrived early, knew exactly where to be, and blended in perfectly so the moment felt natural and intimate. She gave great guidance without making anything feel staged, and her calm, reassuring presence made a huge difference. The photos turned out absolutely beautiful — better than we could have imagined — and the turnaround time was incredibly fast, especially during the holiday season. She truly captured the emotion and joy of the moment. If you’re looking for someone to photograph a proposal, engagement, or any special moment, I can’t recommend Aksana enough. We are so grateful for her and will cherish these photos forever.

Aksana and her assistant were so great! They were exactly what we wanted and more. Easy to work with and helpful with planning. Made the experience fun. It felt like we were with friends. They were also very considerate of us and even brought us drinks and gave us breaks to relax during the maternity shoot. The photos were amazing and she was very reasonable with her pricing. I will not hesitate to reach out to her again in the future any time we need photos. Cannot recommend her enough!

Aksana Kunihel Photography's reply
Thank you so much, Anish! It was truly a pleasure working with you and Sheeba. You both brought such warmth and positivity to the session, and it made the entire experience amazing for us as well. I’m so happy you loved the photos, and I’m incredibly grateful for your kind words. I would be honored to photograph your family again in the future — especially once your little one arrives. Thank you again for trusting me with such a special moment.
