Yana was incredible during my proposal/engagement photoshoot. She made sure we felt welcome, included, and listened to. She captured our moment beautifully. Our photos turned out stunning and showcased everything I wanted them to. I would highly recommend booking with Masha Lou and her team for any professional photography needs.

We had the best experience shooting with Sasha for our surprise (to one of us!) engagement! Sasha went above and beyond for us and she was so sweet in letting us have our time to soak up the moment with each other all while capturing it on camera. We love our photos and will cherish them forever!

Masha Lou and her photographer Yana were brilliant, really friendly, and very helpful when organising my surprise engagement! - I’m from the UK so I was worried with picking a location not having been to New York before, but they suggested a beautiful location and Yana took some amazing pictures for us afterwards! 10/10 would recommend for anyone, very reasonably priced and worth every dollar! Thank you so much!

I had an amazing experience working with Masha to take our engagement photos. She made us feel comfortable and helped us pose naturally in front of the camera. We loved her creativity and ideas for new shots. She helped bring our vision of fun and lively NY engagement photos to life! She was also very responsive and had a fast delivery time for the photos. We highly recommend her!!!

We had the absolute best experience with Marsha as our engagement photographer in Central Park! From the moment we met her, she made us feel completely at ease. She’s warm, easy to talk to, and such a joy to be around—which made the entire shoot feel relaxed and natural, not staged or stressful. Her level of professionalism was top-tier. She knew exactly how to guide us while still capturing our personalities, and the quality of the photos exceeded all our expectations. The lighting, composition, and attention to detail in each image were incredible—we were honestly blown away. On top of that, we received a huge gallery with so many stunning images available to choose from. It’s rare to get both quality and quantity, but Marsha delivered both effortlessly. We’ll cherish these photos forever. Highly, highly recommend Marsha for anyone looking for a photographer who brings both talent and heart to her work!

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Marsha and Yana for our engagement shoot, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. From the very first interaction, Yana was professional, responsive, and incredibly warm. Yana made us feel comfortable and at ease throughout the session — which really shows in the photos. The shoot itself was relaxed and fun, and Yana had a great eye for natural moments and beautiful lighting. We were amazed at how Yana captured both candid emotions and more posed shots without making anything feel stiff or forced. We’re so grateful to have these photos to look back on for years to come. We highly recommend Masha and Yana to anyone looking for a photographer. Thank you for helping us preserve such a special chapter in our lives!

My fiancé booked with Sasha for our surprise engagement and I couldn’t have asked for any better! She helped him prepare for our special moment and executed it perfectly. She later walked us around our proposal area for some more photos that came out absolutely amazing!! 10/10 experience from start to finish!! Highly recommend ◡̈

Masha was a dream to shoot with! My fiancé and I traveled to NYC for our engagement photos to be taken in Central Park and Masha’s communication throughout the process was great. On site she made us feel comfortable and the pictures turned out beautiful. We are so happy with the entire process.

Absolutely blown away by our engagement photos! Yana exceeded every expectation — her eye for detail, use of natural light, and ability to capture candid moments made our session unforgettable. Shooting in New York City can be chaotic, but she made it feel effortless and intimate. Every photo feels like a memory frozen in time. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience or a more talented photographer!

We had such a wonderful engagement photography experience with Masha. She was incredibly responsive throughout the entire process, making everything feel smooth and stress-free. I suggested a potential location for our shoot, and she actually went out of her way to check it out in person beforehand — such a thoughtful touch that really meant a lot. The photos came out beautifully, and her professional approach really stood out. If you’re in the NYC area, I’d absolutely recommend working with her!
