My Style:
An Ideal Balance of the Candid & Curated
I am seeking a true representation of our time together as it unfolds — from the grandest ceremonies to the subtle imperfections, from the dazzling first kiss to when you ditch the heels and dance barefoot, from the impeccable styling to when your makeup just can't take it anymore... that’s the real thing.
On your wedding day, I want you to be present; and know that my team and I have the photos covered.
My Why: I believe in the value of a fleeting moment
Masha Sakhno Photo is built on a passion for capturing fleeting moments and creating artistic images images. My approach is about more than just taking pretty photos; it's about telling a story that feels true to who you are. I focus on quality, detail, and a relaxed experience that lets you enjoy your day while I capture it in a way that feels effortless and natural.
My Only Goal: to provide you with stunning images & exceptional service
Consider this: how a photographer treats you is arguably just as important, if not more important, than the photos they provide. Because if you don't enjoy the experience, you'll probably dislike the images too.
While the basics of our job are to artistically capture your day, we promise to never forget that this is a celebration of love, not a "photoshoot". I won't be bossing you around to "get the shot" or putting a camera in your face when you need a moment to yourselves.
Instead we'll provide an ideal balance of direction & downtime, prioritizing how you feel above all else.
BEHIND
the LENS
I'm masha — "like marsha without the r". i'm an enneagram 3 to my core, undiagnosed shopaholic, constant world-wanderer, and reluctant hiker.
With the keen vision of an art director, I work alongside you to craft images that are seamlessly editorial — brimming with genuine energy, breathtaking vistas, and effortless moments (with the subtle direction you need to achieve the photos you want) I am endlessly inspired by the interplay of light, and I view weddings as intricate, exuberant, and stylishly emotional festivities that continually captivate my heart.
When I found my artistic eye and unique perspective on a traditional concept, I was lucky enough to find countless couples who also valued this type of storytelling.
Truly, I believe I am doing exactly what I should be doing with my life right now and I would be honored if you chose my team and I for your celebration.

"I am constantly so inspired by human connection and how beautiful this planet is. I’m always fully in awe of creation, both when I’m working and when I’m not. The ocean is without a doubt where I go to feel most at peace and the most inspired."
Alex
Before picking up a camera, she spent a great deal of time in front of it as a professional model in NYC. Entirely self taught, with a very keen eye for composition; photography became her greatest passion. She excels at storytelling, making each of her subjects feel comfortable and confident in front of her lens.
