Working with Masha Photography was a dream! Masha is quick to respond and helped us with recommendations for where to shoot. We did our session with Yana - she was the BEST! We were nervous because we don’t take photos often and she made us so comfortable. She gave the perfect amount of direction and encouragement. The quality of our unedited photos was beyond what we could have imagined .. that was UNedited! Cannot recommend Masha and Yana enough.Posted on Google![]()

Masha was so fun and easy to work with. As a couple who has never had professional photos taken before, we didn't know what to expect but as soon as the shoot began we were set at ease. We would definitely work with her again and will be recommending her to all our friends!+0Posted on Google![]()

Masha shot my fiancé and my proposal and she was AMAZING. Not only did she get probably hundreds of pictures to choose from, she truly captured the feeling of the moment. She helped my fiancé surprise me on governor’s island and was flexible as plans changed. As someone who is pretty picky when it comes to photos, the fact that almost every shot she took was a work of art speaks to her skill and care. The results speak for themselves!+1Posted on Google![]()

10 out of 10 experience!! We are from out of state and inquired about family photos and Masha Lou Photography did not disapoint. I was connected with Sasha right away. Together we collaborated on ideas for our session. On the day of the shoot, she lead us through the Dumbo area of NYC with her creative and expert eye. Our destination photos came out better than anticipated! Thank you ladies for your solid communication throughout our adventure! My family and I look forward to sharing our family photos!Posted on Google![]()

We had an incredible experience with Masha and her team during our wedding photoshoot in NYC! From the very beginning, Masha was always quick to respond, professional, and genuinely attentive to every detail. What truly set her apart was how she went above and beyond to make our day extra special by also helping arrange a fantastic stylist, which made a huge difference in how confident and polished we felt during the shoot. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a talented, thoughtful, and responsive photographer who truly cares about her clients!Posted on Google![]()

From booking to the session itself, everything was seamless with the Masha Lou team. Our photographer, Yana, was receptive to my plan and executed! Upon arriving at our site, she was incognito, which allowed her to capture the surprise proposal! A true professional with great depth of field, focal points, iso etc. — not to mention the turn around time of 500+ shots from our hour session? Definitely recommend & will have them in mind for future events!+2Posted on Google![]()

Masha was a pleasure to work with from the moment we reached out to schedule our appointment until we received our amazing photos. Her work is absolutely incredible and she is a master at her craft. It was a great experience and we will definitely keep her in mind in the future and refer our family and friends. Thank you so much, Masha for capturing one of the most precious memories of our lives! We are forever grateful and thankful for your time and amazing gift of photography‼️♥️💍 Amanda and Steve+6Posted on Google![]()

Masha is such a gem! She captured our proposal so perfectly. We are both not big on taking photos but she immediately made us feel so comfortable and guided us through different poses and key photo areas in Central Park. We were left with SO many wonderful photos that we can cherish for a lifetime. Additionally, Masha shared the photos so quickly so we were able to share with friends and family immediately. Thank you so much Masha for these memories - we are so grateful!Posted on Google![]()

We had the pleasure of working with Masha for our fifth anniversary photos in New York City, and she was absolutely amazing. From the start, she was incredibly detailed, patient, and professional. Despite the forecasted weather, she went out of her way to make sure I felt calm and comfortable—and it truly made a difference. The photos turned out fantastic, capturing not only the moment but also our emotions. Masha dedicated so much time to making sure everything was just right, and her eye for detail shows in every shot. If you’re in NYC and looking for stunning photos while bringing your own creative vision to life, Masha is the one to call. Highly recommended!✨📷✨Posted on Google![]()

We had such a wonderful experience with Masha Lou Photography! I was coordinating a photo shoot from Texas to celebrate our 15th wedding anniversary during our first trip to New York, and Masha made the entire process so smooth. She was incredibly responsive and easy to communicate with from the start—something I truly appreciated while planning everything from out of state. Since it was my first time in NYC, Masha provided fantastic recommendations for photo locations and shared helpful tips on what to wear so our outfits and colors would look great in the setting. On the day of the shoot, she was warm, friendly, and made both my wife and me feel completely at ease. Her direction was clear, and she offered great posing ideas. She staged our shots beautifully and found the most gorgeous angles and backgrounds throughout Central Park. We booked an hour session, and it felt like the perfect amount of time. Masha captured so many stunning images—it was hard to choose favorites! I had initially mentioned wanting both nature and skyline shots, and she thoughtfully led us to another location within the park that gave us exactly that. She even stayed a few extra minutes past our session (at no extra charge) just to make sure we got the shots we wanted. As we walked between locations, she kept the conversation going and made the whole experience feel more like hanging out with a new friend than just posing for photos. And to top it all off, Masha delivered our edited photos with an incredibly fast turnaround—we had our Friday morning shoot and received the full gallery by Saturday evening! We highly recommend Masha for her professionalism, artistic eye, and exceptional service. If we ever celebrate another special occasion in NYC, we’ll definitely be booking with her again!Posted on Google![]()

Masha, thank you for this incredible shoot! So many emotions, so much tenderness and beauty in every frame. I experienced so many new feelings, and now I have not only warm memories but also stunning photos to cherish. You don’t just take pictures—you create whole stories filled with emotions. I truly appreciate your talent and the atmosphere you bring. You’re the best! 🩷+1
