Alex is very flexible, and I loved all of our pics!

Never before in my life have I experienced anything as stressful as planning my wedding. I think I experienced nearly every emotion available and am surprised I have a husband or friends and family left. What I will say is that the true bright spot and BEST, STAR OF THE SHOW VENDOR (I hate to use that word because when you're with Alex it feels like he's your super helpful and awesome friend) ever was Fedorov Foto. Alex, Natalia, and Miriam are very professional, very patient, and VERY TALENTED. You would be lucky to have him free and available to do your engagement pictures, wedding, family portraits, whatever. Everyone who came into contact with him at our wedding loved him and more than that love our photos! The best decision I made was deciding to work with Fedorov Foto. Before I found FF I wasn't sure that I'd be able to get good pictures because I could not pay 5000+ for a photographer but not only did I get a STEAL of a price, I got photos that look better than the expensive photographers I had pined over. He worked with our miniscule budget and even did more than we were able to hire him for. He was incredibly helpful with things that didn't even concern him at the wedding and is just a very thoughtful person. Same with Miriam, I was extremely frantic and late and she was a doll and took some great photos despite the chaos. From start to finish it was a true pleasure to work with them and our engagement pictures and wedding pictures are absolutely fabulous. Hire him and be sure that one thing you can definitely cross off your list and not have to worry about is great pictures and a great experience. If you have any questions, feel free to send me a message (rumandcake DOT wordpress DOT com), I know how hard it is finding and trusting a wedding vendor. Beyond the thoughtfulness and great pricing, Fedorov Foto just takes EXCELLENT photos and does very well at capturing the spirit of every moment. I am a critic and a hater by nature but I have absolutely NOTHING bad to say about FF. Period. I wish I could give more than FIVE STARS.

Alex was an excellent wedding photographer and he was very helpful in times that he didn't even need to help. He was very flexible and friendly. He is a total pleasure to work with. He has enormous integrity.

I cannot say enough nice things about Alex & his wife Natalia. We found them because of their very generous giveaway here: http://apracticalwedding.com/2010/08/new-york-september-wedding-giveaway-fedorovfoto/. Out of all the photographers we contacted, Alex was the most responsive & accommodating to our budget AND he was really excited to work with us. We even shot engagement photos which we had not at all planned on doing. We loved them. Not only was it fun to hang out in NYC all morning with Alex, who is very nice and charming, but the shots were really flattering and proved very useful in the months leading up to the wedding (announcements, website, rehearsal dinner slide show, etc.). On the big day, Alex & Natalia covered all the shots we wanted, came up with many fun and interesting shots, captured all the group shots efficiently and all while maintaining my directive of not letting the pictures get in the way of the party. :) I wanted good pictures but I didn't want to miss anything, and Alex was so respectful of that wish but still managed to get so many beautiful shots of me and my husband (and our families) that you would think we had spent hours taking them. I owe that to the fact that Alex and Natalia explored the venue for interesting locations and good lighting before we even arrived, and to the fact that Alex was able to make us comfortable with being photographed so that there were no "throw away" shots. Even though they were working very hard the entire time, they felt like guests. In short, Alex has the personality to put people at ease and politely wrangle large groups together efficiently (our parents all just loved him) AND a talent for capturing good light, natural expressions, candid shots and very genuine posed shots. This combination is truly rare. I think Alex loves what he does and it shows. We were so lucky to have found FedorovFoto!
