F.A.Q

We love your work! What are the next steps?

I am honored and so excited to work with you! The next step is to contact me. I will send you my wedding packages and we can hop on a phone call. I will retain your date once both the contract and retainer have been completed. The retainer will be applied to your final balance.

What do your wedding packages cost and include?

My pricing collections range start at $1400 and go to $3800. The best way to get the details is to just contact me. All of my wedding packages include:

  • Order as many prints as you want directly from the gallery;
  • One phone call or video call;
  • Unlimited downloads for all images in high resolution and web-sized files.

When do we get our photos?

I do my best to deliver your wedding photos as fast as possible, depending on the season it can take anywhere from 3 to 8 weeks. For engagement, and bridal sessions, it can take from 2 to 3 weeks.

Are my photos edited?

Yes, you will receive high-resolution digital photo files edited with beautiful color-grading worked on every photo.

How much time should we spend on wedding portraits?

Puting aside a minimum of 1 hour for portraits of you two (excluding transportation time) is recommended.

We can schedule them before the ceremony as part of your First Look or after the ceremony. But I will ask for you to come with me for 20 minutes around sunset. Golden lighting is the most gorgeous light of the day to create the most epic photos.

Do you include engagement session in your packages?

Yes! It is a great way of getting to know each other and getting comfortable in front of the camera. And it will be perfect for your wedding invitation!

What kind of equipment do you use?

I use Canon professional cameras and lenses, as well as others prestigious lenses like Carl Zeiss lenses.

What is your background in Photography?

I have been graduated from one of the most renoowned school of images in the world, Les Gobelins in Paris, in 2010. Photography is my full time job and I have been working as a photographer for more then 11 years now.

Why choose you ?

I would say that what stands me apart is my artistic eye and fashion experience as well as my unique color-grading style, french touch, and joie de vivre!

Do you direct posed photos?

For the wedding portraits I will guide you to do some poses that will look really cool and make you look your best. I do take family and bridal party photos and if a guest asks me to take their picture, I always say yes. Otherwise, the far majority of my work is spontaneous and sincere. In order to document truthfully, I do not walk around asking people to smile for the camera.

What are your Coronavirus Policies?

I am fully vaccinated (2 doses) and always wear KN95 masks, sanitize my hands regularly, and maintain social distancing when shooting.

Do you offer retouching?

Retouching is available for an additional fee per image. Retouching examples may include removal of acne, removal of distracting elements, thinning people, etc. If needed you can contact me for a custom quote on retouching fees.

What time should we start our coverage?

If you are doing a first look, arriving anywhere between 3 to 4 hours before the ceremony starts works well. Otherwise 1.5 to 2 hours before the ceremony is great.

Do you shoot LGBTQ+ couples?

100% yes!!!!! I am committed to supporting love in all forms and advocate regularly for LGBTQ+ rights via my main IG account. I can't wait to meet you!

What are you like on wedding days?

I am very joyful and goofy but also, very calm and focused and always on the look-out for the best shots. :)

“Having Nastasia photograph me was the most effortless experience I’ve ever had with a photographer before. She makes you feel beautiful, which results in gorgeous photographs. I also love that she shoots film, making the images look artistically vintage. Hiring Nastasia was the best choice I’ve ever made and I will cherish these photos forever!”

— Paige Baxter

“Nastasia's eye, skill, and presence brought so much freedom and beauty to our work together and the images she created. I've had the great fortune to have her shoot professional photos of me, and they are incredible! She was able to see my vision for how the shoot would look. We refined that vision through conversation and through images that gave a sense of what I wanted. She added her fresh creativity and expertise to deliver photos that deftly and delicately realized what I had imagined.

Nastasia has many visual gifts. She selects locations that create dreamy moods and works with light to capture the ephemeral beauty in life and in people. She is versatile, professional, and dependable. I highly recommend her for capturing the essence of beauty in your life.”

“I loved shooting with Nastasia! I’m typically awkward in front of a camera, but Nastasia made me feel comfortable the whole time. She brings authenticity, creativity, and humor to her work that allows everyone around her to loosen up and enjoy themselves. She captures moments you don’t realize she’s shooting, which is always my favorites. She’s an artist, and the way she works with you, the light, and the environment around you lead to straight-up magic in her photos. Would book her again any day!”
