In short: Hire Pasha and his team. It will be the best decision you make for your wedding hands down. He was so easy to work with, fun to hang out with during our wedding, and is truly talented in what he does. If you want artistic shots of memorable moments that you thought no one else saw, hire Pasha.

If you still need convincing, know that hiring Pasha for our wedding was by far the best decision we made. I have been to enough weddings to know that the photos usually are pretty standard. The photographer typically hides behind the scenes somewhere taking the photos they “should” be taking of the perfectly planned and curated moments throughout the day only emerging to take staged portrait shots in perfect lighting of the bride and groom and their family. The photos come out stiff, unnatural, and fake. Our photos from Pasha? Could not have been more different. Having Pasha as our photographer truly was an experience. Pasha and his brother Mark hung out with our wedding squad all day long and actually felt like they were part of our group. We joked with them, laughed with them, and felt so natural like we were just good friends. Our wedding party is still talking about how cool our photographers were because they really were such a memorable part of our day. “Who were those guys?! How did you find them?!” were typical questions we received from our friends. They never made anyone feel awkward, they came right in and immediately got to work, allowing us to enjoy the time with our friends, but also directing us slightly to ensure they got the best shots. Working with Pasha prior to our wedding was also extremely easy. We communicated a lot through Instagram, email and text and we even met in person to discuss our vision. I can honestly say that when I first talked with Pasha on the phone, I felt like he was even more excited for my wedding than I was! He was so genuinely happy to shoot our location (Block Island) and was willing to explore the island to find the perfect unique place for our wedding party shots (we settled on the Bluffs).
Now, let’s talk about the photos. Yes, we did get the necessary portraits with our families and the romantic solo shots of the two of us, but the magic of Pasha’s photos was evident in the candids he took throughout the day of all the special moments that happened that I thought no one else noticed. He captured our friends’ reactions when my husband and I first stepped out together after our first look, he captured my brother’s animated expressions during his off-the-cuff and hilariously inappropriate speech, and he even snapped a few photos of my family dog, Buckie, sitting front row at the wedding looking regal and attentive!

When my husband and I told Pasha that we wanted to take sunset pictures at an alpaca farm, he didn’t bat an eye at our outlandish request. He followed us down to the farm, only to discover the alpacas were nowhere to be found - only donkeys remained! We were a bit embarrassed at our idea but Pasha encouraged us by telling us the lighting was perfect so we twirled around, drank the champagne in our hands, and laughed as the donkeys around us ran in terror of my dress. Those are some of my favorite photos.

Every special moment was captured in such an artistic way, highlighting everything that made our wedding, well, ours. They feel so genuine and we are so grateful we can look back and see all the tears from unassuming family members during the ceremony, and the full belly laughs we shared when hanging out with our friends.

Thank you Pasha and team for everything! Our wedding is a day we will never forget. Everything was so perfect, and now we can look back and remember it forever!

Pasha and his entire team were great to work with. He was on top of everything from co-ordinating before the wedding and through the editing process. Very fun and easy to work with.

Pasha and his team did not disappoint on our wedding day. We chose to have 2 shooters and a videographer for the day to make sure we did not miss any of the action. With unruly weather requiring some adjustments and accommodations, there seemed to be no wrinkles that would throw off the photography team. Having the picturesque Newport Vineyards as our backdrop allowed for some amazing shots in the vines with the changing lighting of the setting sun. Our guests had a blast in the photo booth provided by Pasha’s Team and Olga was able to provide the encouragement for any shy guests that needed to grab a prop and take the 3 silly photos.
Pasha was thorough and timely with all communication and the engagement photo shoot many months before. We highly recommend booking with Pasha and choosing the package that fits your needs! We couldn't have been happier with our decision. Thank you again Pasha & team!!
