Wow,
Words can not describe the outcome of booking with Gleb.
The professionalism, attention to detail, utilization of locations, and most importantly; the shots!
I booked Gleb for a surprise proposal in San Francisco. With-in itself, you can imagine the planing and coordination needed for this day to be what it turned out to be, Perfection. Location, timing, distancing, angles, everything was perfect!
After booking, we spoke on the phone regarding location, time, arrival time, family proximity and all. Gleb was extremely sincere and understanding regarding the day. He made the appropriate recommendations - and all I have to say is trust the professional, he knows what he is doing.
Overall, extremely satisfied working with Gleb. I Highly recommend it!
From start to finish, Gleb exhibited the utmost professionalism, creativity, and dedication to capturing the perfect shots. On the day of the shoot, he was easy to work with; our schedule was tight, and we had to adjust our plan, and he adapted well. The turnaround time for the photos was remarkably fast. We will use him again in the future. We did corporate headshots, group photos, and candids of the day for our in-person orientation for our incoming physicians for our teleradiology practice.

Hi Robin! Thank you very much for such a detailed review! I will be glad to be your photographer/videographer at your next event!
Hlib is a fantastic photographer and delightful person to work with! He's communicative and thoughtful about event details. After discussing my needs for a large Celebration of Life, I felt confident that everything would go smoothly. We wanted the event to feel personal for family and friends and Hilb shot in a editorial style that blended right in. We were grateful for his technical flexibility too and willingness to cover speeches with video.
The day of the COL, Hlib arrived before our event started to allow time to set up and get drone footage. In addition to being easy to work with throughout, he made everyone feel the event was elevated in an elegant way -- just what we hoped to achieve for our guests. I wouldn't hesitate to hire and work with him again!

Gleb is incredible with guests and never fails to engage with everyone! He brings great reactions out of everyone for photos and video clips. My family and I have used him for multiple events now and he's always reliably amazing!

thank you very much Michelle for your feedback!
It’s especially nice that the review is from such a well-known company as Vaymo )
I will be glad to be your photographer again !
Hlib went to our rescue when we needed a last minute photographer. His work AND service were exceptional and I got my edited photos super early! He even made a collage of our event even when it was not included in his quote. I would book him again in a heartbeat! Thank you for everything Hlib! I hope I could work with you again!

Nacelle, Thank you very much for your feedback, I’m very happy about it!
Best.
So easy to work with. Very professional. Prepared. Arrived ahead of time. Took excellent shots. Made good suggestions and modifications where appropriate. Didn't require active management. Photos turned out great!
What can I say, I highly recommend hiring Gleb (Hlib).

We hired Hlib for our 60-person wedding and couldn't be happier! It's critical that on such an important day for a couple that they're able to trust in the photographer's skills and professionalism and he certainly did not disappoint!
Hlib arrived before our event with plenty of time to set up, scout the venue, and check in regarding photo opportunities. He grabbed us for key photo moments to make sure we got the shots we wanted while being so swift and professional that we were able to quickly get back to our guests. Since we were overwhelmed by the day, we'd forgotten to ask for certain shots but because of his experience and intuition, he knew what we'd want and made sure to capture those critical pictures.
He was very enjoyable to work with - his friendliness and charm immediately put us at ease. It's so important that you enjoy working with your photographer so that you're in the right mindset. He was efficient in his direction and helped us feel at ease and relaxed. Throughout the day, we heard comments from our guests like, "Wow, this guy's amazing," and, "I love his energy." It really felt like he was there because he wanted to be and was doing what he most enjoyed.
Hlib provided amazing value for the cost and my wife, who's a talented photographer herself, has already told me many times how happy she is with the photos and how well-executed they are. The last thing you want after your event is over, everything's been packed up, and your guests have returned home, is to have regrets about moments that weren't captured to your satisfaction. We have to say, we have no regrets whatsoever and, at the end of the day, we were already talking about how we're hoping to have another event soon for which we can hire him again.
Thank you, Hlib, for exceeding our expectations and helping to complete the most wonderful day of our lives.

Thank you Mehry ! I got very happy to be with your company on this day, especially in your garden, it's a masterpiece!
Gleb
PROFESSIONAL: Gleb is a true professional. He knows what he is doing. Pictures looked great.
PERSONABLE: His natural smile and friendliness not only allowed easy effective communication with him, but also allowed the guests he photographed to feel at ease which makes for photos with great natural looks.
PREPARED: He knew what he was doing. He came very early to make sure that he prepared properly to ensure that everything was just right.
PRECISE: He was very precise in “framing” all of the pictures with desired subject matter. He was also very precise in executing our plan to take specific group pictures of different sets of people. The way he got people organized, and getting them with the right expressions and hand gestures, and making sure that non of the 80 guests’ faces were blocked were all executed with amazing precision!!
PRICE RIGHT: His rate is very reasonable!

Davis, Thank you very much for such an attentive review, I am very impressed with your attention to my work, Thank you!
I will be glad to be your photographer in the future!
We hired Gleb for our wedding videography. If you are looking for a true professional, you need not look further. Gleb was professional from beginning to end. He showed up early to set up and hear instructions to achieve our vision, while asking fact finding questions and offering suggestions. Communication was amazing and truly helped more than I can describe. The video quality was good, with a great artistic eye, and a phenomenal end product. The turnaround time was fast. We could not be happier with Gleb and his services and would recommend him hands down. You will not be disappointed.

I am very glad to meet you to get to such a bright event, I am very glad that you liked my work)
Hlib was fantastic! He was very communicative about everything I had to ask about (which was a lot!), and I felt very confident even before the shoot began that everything would go smoothly. We had a corporate event which needed lifestyle/candid pictures of employees interacting together, and also some headshots. It was essential for this to go well--we are a remote-first company, and only gather in person about once or twice a year.
The day of the shoot, Hlib was on time (arriving before the event started, giving him enough time to set up and scope out the venue), in addition to being easy to work with throughout. He made sure to review the photos with me before wrapping to ensure I was happy with what he captured. We also received the photos the same day. I would gladly work with him again!
Photographer
Hlib was very punctual and prepared. He was charming and professional. Will hire him again.

Thanks for the feedback Taha, I'm very happy to hear!
- Sports shooting is always a task in camera skill, forward vision and some Luck are needed to catch a really good shot's.
