SGI Photography

Slava was a great photographer! I am so happy we went with him. We searched and searched and as soon as we saw his portfolios, we knew he was the one. He made us feel comfortable and made it fun. He made sure every detail was covered and nothing was out of place. He was very flexible and made it easy for us to reschedule things. It was like we were his only client and he really made us feel like we were always first. He is very quick to respond and you can ask him anything and he will make sure he answers you as soon as possible. He also makes sure that you understand him and he understands you; there is nothing that is hidden or assumed on either part. We got a great package and wouldn't have had it any other way. We wanted to have memories of the engagement, bridals, and the wedding and we were able to do that with one of his packages with a reasonable price. You don't want to skimp on great memories and photos of your special day. I couldn't have asked for a better photographer. He is willing and open for suggestions, so it is not just his way or no way. We laughed and had a good time and it's sad that it's all over. I would love to have other photo shoots with Slava. Thank you so much Slava from the bottom of our hearts!!! ~

Going into a wedding, it's a bit of a leap of faith choosing a photographer. Obviously, you can view a portfolio, but it's hard to know if "what you see is what you will get". And I mean that in a relative way, since you really don't want your photography to be the same as everyone else.
Well, I'm here to say that Slava did a great job. The quality we saw in the portfolio came through, in both the engagement photos and in the wedding shots. We'd certainly recommend him.

We are so happy we picked Slava as our photographer! We couldn't be happier with our pictures! He was such a pleasure to work with! Thank you so much, Slava, for being part of our special day!

Slava is the best wedding photographer in Houston! When my husband and I first met Slava, we knew we wanted him to photograph our wedding right away. His professionalism and sense of humor matched our personalities. He made taking 100s of pictures fun and captured candid moments throughout the day. The best part was getting my proofs a day after the wedding and picking up my picture cd and complete album only 2 weeks after my honeymoon! All the pictures were absolutely amazing! I cant wait to work with him again for my maternity pics (lol)! Slava is worth every pennny!

He was very efficient and took great pictures. He was very responsive whenever we contacted him.

My husband and I absolutely LOVED working with Slava! He's an arsenal for creative ideas, yet very receptive to any suggestions or request you might have. He was always prepared, always on time, and always incredibly friendly!! I've never been comfortable in front of a camera, especially for professional pictures, but there is something about Slava that always puts me at ease; my husband's and my smiles always turn out genuine-looking rather than awkward or forced. All the photos we've taken with him have turned out absolutely beautiful!! Our families were just blown away, and have talked about using him for family photos in the future. I know my husband and I will definitely be using him again! His work is breathtaking; you definitely get what you pay for!! Thanks, Slava!!!!

We couldn't have been happier with our selection for a photographer. Slava, of SGI Photography, did an amazing job with our engagement photo session as well as capturing the details and excitement of our wedding day!

We love SGI Photography! Slava was our photographer from the engagement photo session to our wedding day. He customized a package tailored to our priorities, offered a payment plan to alleviate financial stress and was extremely responsive. We were very pleased with his work and truly appreciated his professionalism and flexibility. We would and have recommended SGI Photography to our friends and family.

Slava was recommended to us by our caterer, as they have participated in many events together. We immediately adored him when we met him for our consultation. We had a great time during our engagement photo session, and when Jeff and I married two months prior to our original wedding date due to health complications, Slava worked with our schedule to give us perfect pictures of our wedding day! We are so glad to have picked SGI photography for our engagement/wedding photography. We would not have had it any other way.

Slava was Great!!!!! I am so happy with our family pictures , I had such a hard time picking! He was so easy to deal with and worked well with my boys. They all hate taking pictures including dad, lol, but was impressed with how relaxed and fun he made it . Thank you Slava for helping us have great pics to cherish forever .The Allen family

Slava was wonderful. He did our engagement session as well as our wedding. Our engagement photos turned out perfect! And he posted the pictures that same day! It was great to see them so fast. He was always very easy to communicate with by email, phone, or text. He responded very fast and was very easy to work with even when changes came up. He showed up on time to start photos for the wedding and those pictures were posted online the next day! I read so many other reviews where people had to wait weeks before seeing pictures and I got to see mine the next day. The album layout was ready in one week and he was great at making any changes I requested and posting the updates for my approval. A week after that my album was ready and I picked it up with a cd of the wedding pictures! He got great shots of everyone and I'm so happy we have such great photos to remember our special day forever.

Slava was absolutely amazing! It is stressful picking a photographer for the most important day of your life, and I could not be happier that I chose Slava for mine. I had some ideas of pictures I wanted, and Slava made sure to get every single one. He provided so many wonderful pictures and did not miss one thing. I would recommend him to any one and guarantee they would be happy with their pictures.

Slava was able to capture many wonderful memories on our special day. He also photographed my bridal portraits which turned out beautifully! I highly recommend his services to brides looking to have a special photographer on their wedding day!! Thank you Slava!

Slava is awesome!~!! he is so professional and such a great photographer. He really knows how to catch some awesome shots and make the bride look great! :) He is also really great because he's discrete. He's not like other photographers that are almost obnoxiously visible....he was always there taking pictures but blended in well. He got shots of things that I didn't even know he was around for! Also, it's been less than 24 hours since our wedding and the pictures are already up! He is fast and timely with his work. My whole family has been raving about their experience with him!!! I am so happy I chose Slava!!! I also feel you get a really great product for the price!

I also used his Hoot Booth. So great!!! The photo booth is big enough for 10 people, has good quality pictures and prints quickly. Also the props are awesome! You can also see the photos between shots so as to fix your positive. It has a countdown until the picture is taken and it is actually accurate! Best photo booth props I've ever seen! Mustaches on sticks, chalkboards, signs, hats, boas, big glasses, ect! Also included in the price is a photobooth scrapbook, two copies of each print, gluesticks to put one copy in the scrapbook, magnets for people to put on the back of their prints and they sanitize all of the props between pictures. Great service for a great price!!!

Slava was so easy to work with. I loved him and the work he did. He took pictures for our wedding and engagement, he was totally cool with us bringing our two dogs to the engagment photo session and taking pictures of our 'kids.' If you are getting married this is the photographer you want!

My husband and I were impressed with how professional Slava was during our photo sessions. Not only was he enthusiastic about doing our engagement photos, he brought a calming affect on our big day! Our photos were wonderful. I also had the chance to work with him for my bridal portraits, he was flexible enough to go to 3 different locations and was eaten by Texas size mosquitoes. My husband and I felt like he was a member of the family on our wedding day!

Of all the decisions we had to make to prepare for our wedding, the decision to go with SGI Photography was by far the best decision we made. From our first meeting with Slava, we were amazed at the quality of his service, professionalism and attention to detail. He is truly an artist who takes great pride in his craft and in pleasing his customers. He captured each priceless moment of our wedding and was even able to capture our personalities in our engagement photos. I am so glad that we entrusted the most special day or our lives to Slava- he exceeded all expectations!

Wonderful photographer to work with. Has speedy turnaround and is willing to do whatever necessary to make sure you are satisfied.

I would highly recommend SGI photography to anyone with no hesitation. They were professional, excellent, and did a fantastic job on my wedding, engagement, and bridal portrait. I was so pleased with the quality service they provided.

Top quality. Excellent value. He knew what he was doing. Did a beautiful engagement shoot. This is one of the most important parts of the experience and the longest lasting, so he did a great job. Also, Slava was the perfect gentleman throughout. You could tell he loves his work.

I am so so pleased with SGI Photography! Especially with Slava.
I am what you call a Very Detailed oriented person, and Slava was more than patient to assure me and make me feel like the most important person in the world.
He takes his time with you, answers your questions, listens and really tries to give you the one priceless shot. He is very true to his word and his talent speaks volume when you see his work. He shot my engagment session and Bridal session. Due to our destination wedding, we were unable to have him photograph our wedding. However if your wedding is local, you will have the best person to work with for the most memorable time of your life.
You truly have found the best when working with Slava!

I would highly recommend Slava Ivanov to anyone looking for a photographer. He did my bridal portrait session and our wedding. He was always on time or early, and was very flexible with our schedules - he even drove from Houston to College Station to do my portrait session.

One of the best things about Slava is his responsiveness. From the first e-mail I sent him he replied immediately and we set up a time to meet that week. Additionally, he e-mailed me some pictures of our wedding to use for Christmas cards even before our CD was ready.

I definitely plan to use his services again in the future - and on top of everything, the pictures are phenomenal!

Slava did an amazing job with both the wedding and bridal pictures! They turned out to be amazing!

SGI Photography did our engagement pictures and I couldn't be happier with the way they turned out! We researched around for the best prices from a few photographers we had selected based on the quality of photos from their websites. Slava was always very quick to respond to me via email, even with all my many questions. We had to reschedule one shoot due to weather, and he was very flexible, making it extremely easy to figure out the best time. When we first met so he could get to know us, I showed him a few of my favorite pictures I had found online of random couples... different angles, different sunlights, night photos, different poses and expressions captured, etc. The photos that we got back after our shoot were breathtakingly gorgeous. With Slava's expertise on poses and angles, our photos turned out beautiful! I would recommend him to anyone, and will be using him as much as possible in the future!

Slava was on top of his photography game!! He paid close attention to detail. I would recommend him to any bride who wants beautiful personalized photographs!

Awesome pictures!

Slavs took all of Shelly's pictures....engagement, bridal and wedding....He was great to work with. He listened, took my suggestions, and the pictures are outstanding. He was flexible and responded to all my emails immediately. We had 200-205 at our wedding and we requested a second photographer to make sure we had good coverage..He had one there for us and I am glad I requested that ...Brides if you haven't found a photographer yet..call Slavs....MOB.....Jackie Wilson..Galveston wedding

I enjoyed working with SGI Photography because I was a bride who knew exactly what I wanted and SGI Photography delivered.

You will be priority with SGI and that is very important being busy with wedding planning. SGI was very personable and flexible with my personal schedule. It was easy and comfortable to arrange engagement and bridal photos. The photos from these events came out amazing and pumped everyone up for the wedding especially since the photos were posted later that day so you won't have to wonder how amazing you look in your dress, you will know immediately!

SGI outperfomed the day of my wedding. Two photographers arrived and captured different candid images from the beginning of makeup prep to the very end. I had a list of candid shots and SGI did not miss one detail. I was impressed with their attention to detail. They truly captured my special day.

I would recommend to meet with SGI and view their amazing wedding albums. These are high quality leather bound glossy colorful images of your day that will last a lifetime. It blew me away. Your album will make other brides jealous and wish they had an album like yours. Believe me!

Thank you SGI Photography!

It has been over 2 months and I am still amazed with SGI Photography's Bridal Portraits and wedding photographs. Our photographer handled all of our changes, questions, and requests as if he had anticipated them. The experience was perfect, including quality, responsiveness, professionalism, value, and flexibility. We are certainly going to recommend SGI to our friends & family.

He took really great pictures and was completley unobtrusive. Would Highly reccomend to anyone wanting great wedding pics!

Slava was very easy to work with. His pictures captured the essence of my wedding day and the happiness that was felt by all. I have received rave reviews from everyone that has viewed the pictures and have recommended him to my family and friends!

I can't speak highly enough of SGI Photography! My family and I were extremely happy with our photos, as well as with the quality of service that we received both during and after the wedding. Slava is professional, flexible, talented and creative. He did a great job of capturing all of the major moments of my ceremony / reception, as well as of capturing a number of extra, candid shots. He also did a FANTASTIC job on the photo album that he put together for my family.

I can't say enough of how happy that my husband and I are that we chose Slava for our wedding. We didn't know what to expect, but we were SO incredibly happy with our photos. He was easy to work with, so very professional and insightful in creating just the right moment for the perfect shot. Of all the vendors that we used for our wedding, he did the best job. Love, love, love him. You will not be dissapointed. : )

Slava was very professional and did a great job on my photos. I really enjoyed working with him and would definitely recommend him to any future customers that are looking to have outstanding photos done. Slava also gets your photos back to you very quickly. I will definitely have him do other photos I will need in the future!! Thanks Slava for making my bridal photos a success!!!

Slava helped make our day extra special. Friends and Family said it would go by so fast and that it would be a blur, but thanks to Slava and his excellent talent, we will have our gorgeous photo memories that will last forever.

Pictures look like they came out of a magazine! Super fun to work with and very flexible.

SGI Photography did all my photos... engagement, bridal and wedding and I could not have been happier. Slava was amazing and was very flexable with days for taking pictures and even what kind of pictures you were interested in taking. He always had the pictures posted super fast and his work is absolutely worth every penny. His book is awesome and I am so excited to get it so I can show it off. I would recommend SGI to anyone.

We had the honor of having Slava as our photographer for my daughter's wedding this past week end. He is an incredible photographer.....He captured memories for us that we will cherish forever! I highly recommend him to anyone who is in need of a photographer.....he is easy to work with, he puts the bride and groom at ease and is very flexible. He does excellent work! We loved him!

Slava was incredible throughout the entire wedding experience. His personality and artistic style made our engagement, bridal and wedding photos unique. We would highly recommend him as a photographer for anyone looking for professionalism and integrity.

Slava did an excellent job! My husband and I really enjoyed working with him. He was very flexible about scheduling around my other responsibilities I have. I really appreciated the fact that he was able to get the photos loaded very quickly onto the website. We were able to look at our wedding photos before we left for the honeymoon the day after the wedding! I would strongly suggest SGI Photography to any couple. We plan to use Slava in the future for family photographs.

Slava is wonderful! My engagement and wedding photos are amazing! He was very easy to work with and very professional. Also, he is a really nice and fun person and I felt very comfortable with him as my photographer. I would recommend his services to anyone looking to get quality photography at a reasonable price.

I am so impressed by all the things that Slava captured, the way he adjusted the lighting in all the right places, the manner in which he cropped photos to generate a specific effect, ALL OF IT! When I first saw the pictures the night I returned from my honeymoon, I was crying just reminiscing about the whole day. The photos so accurately capture the feeling and essence of our special day. Slava has a great eye for capturing the moment.

It is a pleasure to work with SGI Photography. Very professional your team work.

SGI Photography made my October 2009 wedding as wonderful as it was. Slava was very professional and his service was out of this world. All of my pictures were beautiful and the photobook was awesome. I would recommend SGI to any Bride to Be.

Slava is a very talented photographer; he knows how to capture the special moments and details that are part of the months/days leading up to the wedding and the actual wedding. He worked with us throughout the process and promptly responded to any questions we had.

The book he put together really depicts the story. We have enjoyed looking through the book with friends and family and thinking back over the special time; we will treasure the book for years to come.

One suggestion I would make for future brides is to make a list of any pictures you want to have taken and have that ready before the wedding day. Things are hectic enough that day without also trying to remember any unique photos you want to capture.

SGI Photography captured the greatest moments of the wedding and reception. Slava has a talent to be invisible with the camera and get all the cherished pictures. The product was delivered in a quick amount of time and the professionalism never faded. The price is a steal in comparison to the product. The bridal photo session was also a great experience. Slava has a great knack of posing you to make the picture come out wonderful. I would recommend Slava to anyone who needs a photographer.

From a very happy customer!

Slava was nice and good to work with. We were lucky to find him, especially since we were late in finding a photographer. He takes great photos and you can view them online. He was perfect for us. His prices were good and he can customize your package. The pictures I have gotten so far are of great quality. I can't wait to see my album.

He is a great photographer. He is very reasonable, cooperative and has a good eye for capturing the moment.

We absolutely loved doing business with Slava Ivanov, we purchased his top package and he produced fantastic quality photos at a great price. His work is well worth the money.

Slava was very professional and the quality of his photography is superb. He had photographed a friend's wedding before ours and she also loved his work. He's very organized, my bridal portraits were taken at Rice University in October and Slava remember to account for the time change in scheduling our appointment for the best light. Something that was nice was that he provided us with a disk of our photos. It's been convenient to not have to ask for reprints of family favorites.

Also, and this is important: Slava gets the photos back to you fast. After our engagement portraits appointment, he had the photos posted that night. After my bridal portraits, he posted the photos that night and password protected the photos so that my dress would still be a surprise for my fiance' and family. After our wedding, the portraits were posted the very next day and the album was available for online preview by Monday. Our photo album and parents' albums arrived quickly while everyone was still excited.

Thanks Slava!

Our album is incredible! My husband and I really enjoyed working with SGI. Our pictures are perfect. We get so many compliments on our album. We feel that we got great pictures, an awesome album and reliable service from SGI. We would highly recommend them!

This photographer was perfect for my budget. I felt like I was able to customize my package, and it was money well spent! He has a primary job in another field and does this on the side, so he's not 'out to get you'. He gives good direction and focuses primarily on elegant candid shots, so I didn't feel awkwardly posed. We had to reschedule more than I liked, but other than that I'm completely satisfied.

Excellent professional!
I am so happy to work with SGI Photography
