It was so wonderful spending the afternoon with Tanya in Madrid! She had so many great go-to spots in the city and was very helpful with planning upfront.

I did a solo photo shoot and was nervous that I wouldn't have very good poses, but Tanya was a pro and gave lots of great posing instructions.

She totally put me at ease! I could not be happier with how my photos turned out! So glad I chose Tanya and would absolutely seek her out the next time I am in Spain.-EmilyView Photographer profile
Tanya was absolutely amazing! Such a sweet and caring person with an innate talent for photography!

She made us feel at ease during our shoot, and our photos turned out better than I could have ever hoped - perfectly capturing the best day of our lives to date! Would highly recommend!-JessicaView Photographer profile
Petra was the best choice I made. She was responsive the whole way, even with the time change, since we were coming from Florida. She was even sweet enough to get me a small set of roses as a prop, as we had planned. Our shoot was the day of the blackout. Even though we didn’t have a way to communicate, we both showed up. I’m so grateful for her professionalism, energy, ideas when shooting, and her sweet personality. We love our photos and will forever remember this day.-Ashley & KyleView Photographer profile
Sattva was absolutely incredible to work with from start to finish. She planned the ideal location and time for the proposal to my now fiancé and it couldn’t have gone better! The photos were beautiful but the experience with her was even more memorable. She truly made an important day very special. I would recommend anyone to Sattva that is wishing to capture their special moment.-ZackView Photographer profile
Sattav, OMG, she is like, seriously! The most amazing photographer ever! I mean, her pictures are just mind-blowing! If you ever need someone to capture your precious moments, you HAVE to go to her, no doubt about it. She's like a total perfect 10 out of 10, seriously!-MohamedView Photographer profile
Sattva is as talented as she is kind—an absolute treasure to work with, who makes you feel at ease. She manages to find the best light always—it’s her special talent.-RickView Photographer profile
Sattva was great! This was the first time that either of us had done a photo shoot, and she made it easy and made us feel more comfortable than we would have otherwise. Thank you, Sattva!-WesView Photographer profile
My feedback is super positive. I chose Petra for a shooting session for my wedding proposal. Looking at her pictures on this portal, they were full of colors, well prepared, with simple but nice effects.

But the best came later: starting from the very first chat, there was a huge sympathy, and she really was as excited and involved as me in choosing the right location and the right timing, as well as defining the best way to prepare it as a surprise for my girlfriend.

I have to say she was very patient with me. Sometimes, I changed my ideas, and she was always super kind and flexible. During the shooting, she had some creative ideas and made us feel very comfortable, which was very important.

I do recommend her: her creativity, kindness and professionalism have been really amazing and remarkable.-Lorenzo & KatiusciaView Photographer profile
Petra was an absolute joy to work with. She went above and beyond our expectations, booking a last-minute family shoot in Madrid. It was easy to meet up, and she made everyone feel comfortable immediately. She walked us around to the best spots and had different poses and different combinations of people. Petra was professional and fun. She also told us about the history of Madrid while we walked to different places. I cannot recommend her enough. Would 100% work with her again!-SatoeView Photographer profile
We wanted to take a moment to express our deepest gratitude for the incredible job you did in capturing our marriage proposal at Parque del Retiro in Madrid. Your talent, professionalism, and a keen eye for detail truly made our special moment unforgettable.

From the very beginning, you made us feel comfortable and at ease in front of the camera. Your creativity and unique perspective were evident in every shot you took, and the way you played with light and composition truly brought out the magic of the moment.

We are absolutely thrilled with the final photographs, which beautifully encapsulate the love, joy, and excitement we felt that day. Each image is a treasure that we will cherish for a lifetime, and we cannot thank you enough for your hard work and dedication.

Not only were you a skilled photographer, but you were also ...-Jap & TiaView Photographer profile
