I first met Tatiana Valerie in 2012 at The Knot Gala through another connection. At that time, I was a freelance writer for The New York Times. I wrote feature articles about wedding technology trends. Aside from her warm and positive personality, I could tell how passionate and committed she was to her craft of photography.

Due to her professionalism and pure talent, I hired Tatiana for my headshots in 2012 and 2015. The walls of Tatiana’s photo studio are filled with large canvas photos of some of her past wedding clients on their special day.

She instantly made me feel comfortable in front of the camera in both photo shoots. Tatiana was able to capture my essence and personality in the photos. I deeply appreciated the amount of precision she applied to every shot. Before snapping a picture, she noticed a strand of hair in my face and politely asked me to move it behind my ear. After working with Tatiana on two photo shoots, I knew that I wanted to hire her to capture every magical moment on my wedding. That big day came this past May. 

Tatiana arrived early to the venue. She made sure to take all the “getting ready” photos (of my matrons of honor helping me put on my dress and shoes, and my dress and shoes on a customized hanger with my new surname). She captured the love, laughter and magic as my husband and I exchanged our handwritten vows and rings during the garden ceremony. Aside from completing all the photos on our must-have photo list, Tatiana also captured candid photos of my relatives and friends joyfully dancing with my husband and I.

All the pictures authentically tell the story of my wedding. It was difficult to choose one wedding photo for the thank you cards. I’m so grateful that I met Tatiana. I highly recommend her studio (Artvesta Studio) for any of your photography needs (especially your big day)!!!

I don't even know where to begin in expressing my extreme gratitude for Tatiana and her team. Absolutely incredible experience. Tatiana was wonderful from beginning to end, she was not only sweet, friendly and a beautiful person, she was also the picture of professionalism. The entire time I was in great hands and I didn't doubt it for one second. When I received the photos and footage of my wedding, my heart stood still. She captured so many endearing moments that I will forever hold dear. Delivering over 1500+ photos, each one a work of art. I am blown away by her! I recommend her without hesitation, in fact, it would be a mistake choosing anyone else! Tatiana and her team are absolutely AMAZING! 100%

Tatiana was so wonderful to work with. Her eye captured all the treasured moments of our incredible weekend. I’m not sure I’ve looked at our photos or film yet without crying. Go for it!
