Ever since Maria found a Zenit film camera in her grandfather’s home at the age of 12 in her native Ukraine, she fell in love with capturing the magic of the light in the moment and has dedicated her life to mastering the skill of photography.
It is what took her around the world (and ultimately to the US) and introduced her to her husband Yuri, also a photographer. While dinner conversations revolve predictably around the craft, the couple enjoys having an opportunity to work side by side in some of the most breathtaking corners of the world.

Maria and Yuri are really more than photographers. From the beginning, they offered endless support, advice, and guidance. We felt like we could relax in their safe hands and just enjoy our Big Day. Maria has a great taste, vision, and attention to small details. She managed to capture so many wonderful moments that we ourselves missed! It was an absolute pleasure working with them. The photos are so beautiful that we are having trouble selecting which ones to frame.
