Eugene Svirhun Photo

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,500
  • Serves Athens, AL

I started photography in 2017 and after being a part of many weddings, engagements, and family sessions, I still love what I do and I am deeply dedicated to serving my clients. I consider myself a storyteller and love capturing the little details, the half-smiles, and the simple motions. For me, it is about seeing the real, the lovely, and the messy moments, the everyday magic that tells the stories of our lives. Each wedding and session has its own unique story to tell and I challenge myself to capture those stories through my camera as best as I can and would be honored to capture yours too!

We couldn’t be happier with our decision to work with Eugene for our wedding! His relaxed, easy-going vibe immediately put us at ease, which made the whole experience so enjoyable. It felt like having a close friend capturing our day, not just a photographer. The photos are breathtakingly beautiful and so true to life— just authentic moments and natural colors that perfectly captured the feel of the day. Every time we look at them, it’s like reliving our wedding all over again. Eugene was a pro at blending in seamlessly—catching the little candid moments while still guiding us gently through the posed shots when needed. He made everything feel so effortless and fun! If you want stunning photos and a photographer who makes the entire process stress-free, we can’t recommend Eugene enough!

Angelina Carrasquillo Captured

  • Serves Athens, AL

Hey there! My name is Angelina and I started practicing photography in August 2020, but I've had an interest in it since I was 13 years old (I really wanted to shoot for National Geographic). Now I've expanded into portraits, engagement sessions, and I've done small weddings. I'm a Chicago native but I've also lived in Iowa, Arizona, Nebraska, Texas, & now Mississippi!! What can I say, I enjoyed a somewhat nomadic lifestyle. I also just got married on August 31st, so I know how it feels to be both a service provider and a customer! My style of photography is more candid with a documentary style approach, but I do love a good editorial moment!

Awarded Best of Zola
Angelina is such a great photographer, fun, and down-to-earth. I had the pleasure of having her do my daughter Quinceanera's pre-photo shoot, and although we had an inconvenience with our original plan & had to switch locations last minute she went with the flow and made it work. The pictures turned out amazing and I can not wait for our second session. I would recommend Angelina to anyone & will be using her in the future.

Hey hey 👋, I’m LaDonna. Wedding photographer & videographer with a passion for celebrating the love stories of couples from all walks of life. Growing up in the suburbs of Boston and attending undergrad in Connecticut, I’m a true New England gal. Winter holds a special place in my heart, as I embrace the beauty and charm of every location I photograph. I’m always delighted to travel wherever your love story takes you—even an Aspen winter elopement. That would honestly make my heart smile! 😊 My mission: create timeless, heirloom-quality artwork that reflects the unique connection & individuality of each couple I have the honor to serve.

Awarded Best of Zola
I’m typically shy and not very photogenic, so I was extremely anxious about how our wedding photos would turn out. But after finding LaDonna through a Facebook ad, I immediately knew I wouldn’t have to worry if she was our photographer. She took the time to understand me and helped me find my confidence in front of the camera. By the wedding day, I felt completely at ease and able to focus on the moment with my husband rather than my insecurities in my head. LaDonna and the LT² team captured everything beautifully, balancing candid moments with fine art shots that truly tell our story. The photos are so authentic, and I’ll cherish these memories forever, along with the confidence I gained. Thank you, LaDonna, for an unforgettable experience! 3 7.27.24

Hello, I am so happy you stopped by! I am a wedding and lifestyle photographer based in the Memphis, Tennessee area but love to travel for photography as well. My business began in 2017 and has been going strong ever since. I have always loved photography but now have a passion for it since losing my mom to brain cancer several years ago. I would have taken so many more pictures that captured her personality, love for life, and love for people way more if only I had known how little time she had left. That is what I want to do for you!! Capture snapshots of your life and love, preserving your memories for a lifetime.

Leslie Grace Photography & Films was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding day. Their communication was phenomenal, outstanding, and always on time. The quality of their work and overall value is unmatched - Leslie has a way of making me feel like a model, and she would even send us photos at 2 AM just to make sure we could get our pictures back quickly. Leslie really went above and beyond to contribute to our special day. When I was feeling nervous before the ceremony, she called me aside and asked me to describe my wife in a few words, which ended up capturing such an emotional moment that I started tearing up. She also made the photo sessions fun and engaging, even getting our rambunctious toddler to smile the whole time. Leslie Grace Photography will undoubtedly be the only person we use for any future photoshoots - she makes us feel so comfortable and special, and has truly transformed what I used to dread into a party when my wife tells me it's time for photos!

EDITORIAL MEETS DOCUMENTARY If you're looking for a photographer who captures the little moments and preserves your day in the way it happened, while bringing in the feel of curated images and an elevated experience, you're in the right place. Images will be created by curating artistic images with posing & prompts, while eliminating the feeling of your day being a production and capturing the real things as they happen. True-to-life and true-to-color is the vibe here to give you photos you'll want to share and hang on your walls until the end of time. If you're looking for magical, intentional photos that just scream you, let's connect.

You can see from Hannah's work on her page that she is an AMAZING photographer. Her work speaks for me. She captured our day perfectly, she didn't miss a shot and captured moments that I otherwise would not have remembered. Her style is unique and really captures the ethereal beauty of a wedding day. What you cannot see from her work is how she manages a wedding day. This woman will be everything you need by your side at your wedding. My veil kept falling off, she pulled the bobby pins from her own hair to keep my veil in place. She knew the timeline of the day and helped us to stay on it. She gracefully kept bridal party stresses off my plate all day. Hannah was 100% present and 100% on top of the day. If you are debating if you want to hire Hannah, just know you are getting not only an incredible photographer but also a person who is willing to be whatever you need to have a stress-free day.

Your marriage is unique because of the relationships you have with the people you choose to celebrate with. Spending my day with you and your closest family and friends brings me such joy, and creating art out of some of the best moments of your life is something I am truly honored to be a part of for so many.

Awarded Best of Zola
Knowing how much of a financial investment a wedding photographer was going to be, I did not take my decision lightly. I reached out to several companies and had several questions when determining who would be the right fit. And I have to say, Marie was by far the most understanding and compassionate during that process. While many photographers seemed annoyed by the (many) questions I would ask before booking, Marie was patient and very thoughtful with her responses -- she even took time to arrange a phone call with me while traveling! And during that phone call, she made sure I didn't feel rushed and that she answered all questions I had fully, it truly felt like I was talking to a friend. That was when I made the decision to book with Marie. Beyond that, when booking the session for our Engagement photos, she brought several creative and adventurous ideas to the table and had the PERFECT locations to take us to. We had a blast together. I would recommend Marie to anyone looking for a photographer who is friendly, compassionate, accommodating and just a joy to be around.

I've been a photographer of some sort for nearly a decade, but weddings didn't come into my life until 2020 (perfect timing!!), it's become my personality trait and I truly don't think I could love doing anything more than this. Some things about me: I prefer series over movies (Gossip Girl, The Office, Buffy TVS, How I Met Your Mother are some of my faves), I'm nothing if not a Paramore fan, I love cute and cheesy romance novels, and I think I am hilarious. I love being your #1 hype girl, joining the party at the reception, and making you comfortable on your big day :)

We will rave about our experience with Kie for the rest of our lives! She is an absolute angel and has exceeded every expectation we have! We booked Kie for our wedding and she did our engagement photos as well! Her work is pure art and absolutely breathtaking. She is one of the most talented photographers we have come across. Not only will her work be the photos of your dreams, but she is such a remarkable person to work with! Kie is so kind, fun, and outgoing, she is very personable and makes you feel comfortable being in front of a camera (like it’s not even there). One comment that my husband made after our first session with Kie for engagement photos, was that it felt like going on a date, we enjoyed ourselves so much, it was really fun and light-hearted. From the very beginning, she was nothing short of amazing! She is flexible with scheduling and was super willing to travel almost 5 states away to photograph our wedding! She was always on time and never skipped a beat! The one thing that we really looked for in a photographer was someone who captures the raw, pure moments, rather than being posed for every picture. Kie does exactly that, you can feel the life and soul in every picture she captures, her photos are better than your pinterest inspiration and will be the art on your wall you will cherish forever. We will definitely be using her for all of our future photography needs and we will definitely be recommending her to anyone and everyone. Thank you so much Kie! God has blessed you with an amazing gift and talent!

Sara especially has a great eye for staging and her editing is light and beautiful! Their skill, combined with their easy-going, friendly personalities, make them an easy choice.
