Nelya

“I feel so incredibly beautiful in my photos, and they’re everything I’ve ever dreamed of. Thank you, Nelya for being on top of everything so for just one day, I didn’t have to. She asked all of the right questions in our consultations to be sure she knew exactly what I wanted out of my wedding day photos.”

Rich Smith Photography

“He specializes in candid shots, but can definitely deliver on posed shots too. I appreciate his darker and more rich style of photography over the airy bright photos that I often see. He captured organic shots that were so genuine, you can hear the laughter or the beat of the music through the image. Rich even managed to capture genuine smiles from my introverted hubby.”
