Olesia was fantastic! All the way from her communication to helping guide us through the shoot. We had never really done a shoot like this, and as my partner was unaware of the proposal, it made it slightly more difficult to navigate, but this was where Olesia excelled and provided her expertise massively! I couldn't be any more grateful for the photos Olesia has taken, they are absolutely beautiful, and she has ensured our special moment was caught fully on camera, from my partner's reaction to a romantic shoot afterwards. We are truly thankful for Olesia and her professionalism. If you are looking for a photographer in Florence, I 110% recommend Olesia!!-Jak A.View Photographer profile
