Masha Lou Photography

My fiancé hired Masha Photography for a surprise proposal, and unfortunately we were very disappointed.

The editing quality was beautiful, which is why I’m giving 2 stars. But the photography itself missed the mark.

Many of the photos were taken from direct or awkward angles and came out unflattering. We genuinely struggled to pick even 10 photos we liked.

Most upsetting, the key proposal moment was missed. My fiancé was on one knee, photos were being taken, but at the exact moment he opened the ring box, the camera zoomed in on just the ring—completely missing the shot of him holding it and my reaction seeing it for the first time. To me, that is the quintessential proposal photo, and it’s heartbreaking that moment wasn’t captured.

We even tried to recreate the shot afterward, but those photos were again taken from awkward angles and came out poorly.

For the price, we expected much better. If you book with them, I strongly recommend clearly discussing the moments and shots you want captured beforehand.

One thing worth noting: it seems the pricing is the same regardless of which photographer is assigned, but you may not have much say in who actually shoots your event. In our case, Tanya was our photographer.

Masha and her team were fantastic. Yana was our photographer and she was amazing, she arrived right on time, made us feel very comfortable, and was incredibly creative with the shots. She captured the moment perfectly and knew exactly how to guide us to get beautiful photos. The whole experience was smooth and professional. Highly recommend them if you want someone reliable and talented to capture special moments.

Couldn’t have asked for a better experience for such a monumental occasion!!

We had such an amazing experience with our photographer and couldn’t be happier with the results. From the very beginning, they were professional, friendly, and made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera. The session felt relaxed and fun, never rushed, and they were so patient and attentive to every detail.
The photos turned out absolutely beautiful, better than we could have imagined. They truly captured the emotion, personality, and special moments in such a natural and timeless way. You can tell they are incredibly talented and passionate about their work.
We are so grateful for the memories they captured for us and would 100% recommend them to anyone looking for a photographer who is not only skilled, but also wonderful to work with.

We could not have asked for a better photographer for such an important moment in our lives. Yana was absolutely wonderful from start to finish. She was incredibly kind, calm, and helpful, which made the entire proposal feel natural and stress-free.

She captured the moment so beautifully and authentically — every emotion, every smile, and all the little in-between moments we’ll cherish forever. The photos are stunning, thoughtfully composed, and truly tell the story of the day. Looking through them brings us right back to that moment.

Yana blended in seamlessly, gave gentle direction when needed, and clearly has a great eye for timing and scenery. We are beyond grateful for her talent and professionalism, and we will treasure these photos for the rest of our lives.

We can’t recommend Yana and Masha Lou photography highly enough to anyone looking to capture a meaningful moment. Thank you, Yana, for giving us memories we’ll always hold close.
