I couldn't be happier! If I had to do my
wedding over again - Svetlana would be my first choice. Her love for
photography really shows in both her work (which is absolutely beautiful
and unique), and in her demeanor. From start to finish, she worked
tirelessly to capture everything from the scheduled events, to the casual conversations
between guests, the dance floor, intimate moments between my husband and I,
and more...and seemed happy to do it! It's a pleasure to know her, and to
have worked with her!! - Kristen Johnson
Svetlana did a fantastic job capturing the
mood, the energy and colors of our wedding. She also managed to get pictures of
nearly everyone who was there as well as some of the details of the reception
hall. She was patient, very professional, and our guests had wonderful
things to say about her -- she never obstructed anyone's view and was very friendly.
We were very pleased with the quality of the photos. Also, as promised, the
online album was up within two weeks and we had the DVD of the photos with the
copyright statement mailed to us shortly thereafter. We were very pleased
and would recommend Svetlana as a photographer without reservation. - Seema
and Jim
For those of you in the Austin area who are looking for a
talented, professional photographer I highly recommend Svetlana Photography.
We spent months searching for a newborn photographer who could capture
those precious first few days. One day we stumbled upon Svetlana's website
and contacted her. After seeing her portfolio, we signed up for our
newborn photo shoot. When we saw the photos, we were amazed! All of
our friends and family said that the photos were better than any others that had
ever seen. Since then, we have gone back for a six month photo shoot and
we are looking to schedule our one year photo shoot. We plan to use
Svetlana for many, many years. We only wish we would have known her when
we got married. We highly recommend her to all of you brides in Austin,
TX - Deborah
Svetlana photographed our daughter's wedding and did an amazing job! We
enjoyed all the obligatory wedding shots which were done in any number of ways
with flash, natural light, and black and white. There were many
other shots taken with an eye for the unusual. Whether Svetlana
caught people in a contemplative, happy, playful, joyous pose, the pictures
were all done with an originality that was incredible. Many of the shots
were stunning. She was everywhere! She is a true artist
with her camera. Thanks
again for capturing our memories on film! - Judy Yunkun
Svetlana
Frolova is one of the most professional photographers around. Not only
is she good--she is really good! Her work is amazing. My daughter
recently had her bridal, wedding and reception pictures shot by Svetlana and
we have not stopped talking about how gorgeous they are. Sveltana picked
the place where the portraits were done and the site was breath taking, the
scenery was so perfect of a setting. This
photographer is outstanding and I would recommend her for any type of event
where you would want excellent pictures. - Linda Espy
There is
no word to describe Svetlana and the miracle that she gave to my husband and
I. I was never able to have the beautiful white wedding that I had
dreamed of until recently when my husband said "lets just do it".
No matter what age we are, all brides want to be Princess for that one special
day of their lives.
We had planned a beautiful outside wedding at our home at 7:00 in
the evening due to the August heat and had decorated everything for
picture taking so you can imagine my feelings when after months of no
rain it rained right before the wedding. All of our photographs had to
be taken in my bedroom and in the dark. Svetlana kept me busy reassuring
me that everything was going to be fine, kept me laughing so much my mouth
hurt at the end of the evening and continued to take photos of me and my
bridesmaids. During the ceremony I really did not see much of her and
after she took many photos of Robert and I and our families. I was
disappointed that everything that I had set up for photos did not work out,
that was until I saw the photos.
Svetlana did not just take photos of us, she somehow managed to capture our
personalities. I might not have seen Svetlana during the ceremony but she
must have been everywhere, the way she captured the Texas sky, my tears
saying my vows, when the balloon popped and the Preacher joked about a shotgun
wedding, when I said "I do" before I promised anything. Each
photo she took tells the story of our wedding. EVERYONE who has seen our
wedding photos has said the same thing, THEY HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT,
THEY ARE WORKS OF ART. What I have are beautiful works of art that
I will hand down to my daughter and her daughter and so forth, not put in
an album tucked in a drawer somewhere. These photos are so beautiful
that they would look beautiful on anyone's wall no matter who the people
were in them. No-one would ever know from the photos that the wedding was not
planned just the way it was photographed. How incredible is it that I
have hundreds of photos and not one of them would I want to hide. The
biggest problem is trying to figure out which ones to print. Svetlana made my
dream come true, I was Princess for the day and I have many, many beautiful
works of art to prove it. Gina Marie La Bella
I am so overjoyed with the pictures. I am still amazed that all of them are keepers, how wonderful is that? I was the little girl who always dreamed of a beautiful white wedding, it just took me a little longer to get here. Svetlana, you have proved that all brides can truly be beautiful on their special day.
Being a professional photographer myself, I wanted to make
sure I choose the right photographer for my once in a lifetime event!
Svetlana was my choice, and she went above and beyond all my expectations and
did an amazing job capturing our wedding day! Her professionalism, her
artistic and discerning eye, and ability to tell our story in a fashion that we
will remember for years to come was worth every penny and then some! - Michael
Samaripa with Inner Lights Creations
Choosing Svetlana Frolova as our wedding photographer was a
simple choice after viewing her online portfolio. Her photographs are
beautiful and we have received so many compliments from family and
friends! Most importantly, she was easy to work with and really responsive
when it came to meetings, phone calls, and emails. We had dealt with many
vendors who didn't have as much time as they would have liked to handle all our
wedding details, but Svetlana always made us feel like she was totally focused
on us and our big day. Thank you Svetlana! - Alice and Scott Bradford
Svetlana, the pictures are fabulous!!! You captured the
spirit of the evening. Thank you so very much for all your hard
work. You made the wedding experience such a pleasant one for me and my
daughter. Take care and I will call you if we have any other reasons to
celebrate. - Sherry
Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You did such an AMAZING
job!!! The wedding pictures are unbelievable!!! Wow, you are such a
talented artist......we absolutely love them. Thank you so, so much!
I will recommend you to anyone, anytime!
Unreal Svetlana....seriously! Thank you so much! - Jason

Svetlana was wonderful. I can not say enough good things
about her. She is professional and took the pictures that my daughter and
her fiance wanted. She checked each photo after she took it to make sure
that she had the shot. The church where my daughter was married in has
some architectural features that I was unaware of until I looked at the
photos. My daughter is in the military and so was not able to be there at
the first meeting. When she came home the week before the wedding Svetlana
was able to meet with us when we needed to. In addition my daughter is
getting to keep the CD. I also like the fact that the photos will be done
in a book format. My niece is going to use her also. So I would
definitely recommend her. - Connie H
Svetlana was my photographer for our wedding day, as well as
engagement and bridal pictures. She truly was a joy to work with!
She was very professional and asked a lot of questions to understand your
vision, very timely on appointments, and really makes the process fun and
effortless. Truth be told, she far exceeded expectations and captured my
special moments just beautifully. She has such a creative and artistic eye
and is extremely talented. A+++
(Definitely get the coffee table book - all my friends and
family love it. It's so much easier and fun to look at rather than those
huge photo albums.) - Jennifer Sears
I just saw the pictures! It was perfect timing. The
whole family was here, so we all ooo-ed and aww-ed at them. They are
fabulous!! Thanks you so much for being our wedding photographer. You
are the absolute best! - Daniella Varelo
Svetlana, as a florist in the business for 27
years, I have worked with many photographers. Your
pictures are so creative and capture the moment so well, I feel
like I was there in person when you took the picture.
They are beautiful and you have a special talent for catching the
twinkle in the brides' eye and the small gestures of the groom
that are delightful. I will refer you to all of my new
customers as you are clearly talented and the best I have seen! -
Renee Winch
I check the site every day. Like I said, I can't
stop looking at the bridal portraits of my daughter and I have shown them a million
times to people I work with, I have sent your website out to 100
friends and family , and coworkers (who live in Austin and may use
your services in the future). - Chris Ahrens
You are good and our guests recognized that, so when
you get a second phase put some of your cards in the mail so I can
distribute them to the people asking for your information. - Trudy
Rush
We truly enjoyed having you for our
photographer! I will definitely recommend you to anyone looking for a
photographer. - Jenna Rush
Kheanan and I just wanted to thank you again for the
beautiful, captivating pictures. We really felt from the moment you
came into our lives that you were special and that your gift of taking
beautiful pictures would help tell our story. When we look at the
photos of our wedding with friends and family, I still get tears
welling up in my eyes and Kheanan beams from ear to ear. We will
forever cherish together the memories that you helped to so perfectly
preserve. You are truly a gifted artist and we were blessed to work
with you. Thank you for everything. - Kheanan and Jessica Taylor
Svetlana
Frolova was an absolute joy to work with when helping me capture my
newborn baby’s first weeks! She
is talented, patient, and professional.
I appreciate her “artsy edge” and was so pleased with the final
product and the entire experience. I
have strongly recommended Svetlana to friends and family, and plan to use her
services again in the future. She’s
truly a gem of the photography world! - Nicky
Svetlana, I've shared the photos with lots of my
friends. Here are the comments I've gotten....
"I love them all !!! :) AWESOME PICS! "
"They
are so beautiful!! Thank you so much for sending these to us!"
"The two of you
took GREAT pictures!!! The colored pictures are great. The black and white are
unforgettable, unique in their own way!!! "
"Oh my goodness!!!!!!!!!!! These are gorgeous!!!!!!!!!!!!! I like them all,
especially the one that has the St. Ed's tower in the background!"
My mother cried and said she can't wait to meet you, and Mauro's family was just
as moved. Thank you so much. The engagement pictures was great entertainment for
all my family this weekend while I was home. -
Daniella G.
Oh my gosh! They are AMAZING!
Thank you so much....They really look great! I can't wait to see which
ones my family likes. I miss you already! - Jessica

Svetlana, thanks so much for your wonderful demeanor and kind spirit. It really
helped put our minds at ease when we were taking our engagement photos. I
also want to especially thank you for the professionalism you showed at
our wedding. You went above and beyond all others! We knew we had made a
wonderful choice and your dedication and work clearly demonstrate that! We
absolutely LOVE all the photos. You were able to capture so much - you
were everywhere at once! Our guests loved you, we loved you, we'll make
sure to recommend you to our friends and others when they are looking for
a fantastic photographer. All the best - Sandra and Arthur.
I can't say enough about how GREAT Svetlana is.
She suited up and showed up when she said she was going to be there.
It was easy to meet and communicate with her before hand and share with
her my needs and ideas. I felt really comfortable with her.
She had great ideas for picture perfect moments and I was really pleased
with all of the pictures! She got a variety of pictures of all the
guests. She was also there for the "must not" miss
moments. I purchased package A with 7 hours of wedding photography,
high res cd, and 3 coffee table books. We had already interviewed
other photographers, and I felt like it was an answer to my prayers!
Some others I had talked to turned a hobby into a business and hadn't had
professional training, and they charged twice as much. Svetlana has
actually studied the art of photography and her pictures show! I
found out about Svetlana through a friend of mine who is a patron at Avant
Salon. Two of our circle in the last few months have used her
services for our weddings and been very happy with the recorded memories.
Svetlana was willing to spend ample time with me after the wedding to make
sure we had the coffee table book just the way I wanted it. Of
course she put it together but let me pick out the details and final
touches. I hope this helps, and if you have any other questions
please feel free to ask. I should also mention that its not just me
that loves the wedding pictures. All of my guests who have viewed
them say they are the best they've seen! I highly recommend Svetlana.
- Adrianne Michelle Pardue
I am so happy with the job you did! The
wedding photos are beautiful and tell the story of our wedding
day. You are not just a photographer you are an artist" -
Jenny F
Svetlana makes the photos you
dream of come alive! Our pictures look like magazine
quality photos.
If you are looking for a photographer in Austin area who is easy to
work with in a studio or on location and who is great with
children, then Svetlana is the photographer for you. - David and
Celeste Plunkett
Thank
you so much for the wonderful job! We love the photos of our newborn and
can't wait to share them with our family. They turned out great. We really
enjoyed taking them. I will keep your info handy for when we are looking
to get his next milestone photos taken! You are a great photographer!
Thanks so much again! - Sarah, Patrick and Zachary
You
have been given a gift and it's deep rooted in your soul and I am so
honored you share it with others in this world.
Your images are haunting. I cried when I viewed the first
portrait of
myself. I had
so much fun
with you. You
were peaceful and serene and I thank you. I look forward
to you shooting our wedding. It is truly an honor.
- Elizabeth
