A Tailored Process — Exceptional Results.
With years of experience photographing countless weddings on Oahu, I understand that every client is unique, and through thoughtful planning and communication, I artfully capture the electric atmosphere of each celebration.
I focus on creating a relaxed environment where you can be at ease, trusting that my team and I have the photos covered. My approach combines an editorial eye for detail with a thorough understanding of light and composition, ensuring every important moment is beautifully documented.
01
iconic, emotive, timeless images
Each photo is crafted to feel authentic and enduring, so you can look back and relive the emotions and memories for years to come.
02
gentle Art direction that captures you at your best.
I believe in gentle art direction that brings out the best in you without feeling forced or posed. I guide you with simple, natural cues to create images that feel effortless and authentic.
03
A seamless experience, from start to finish
From our first conversation to the delivery of your final gallery and beyond, I’m here to guide you through the process, answer any questions, and make the experience effortless. My goal is to ensure you feel comfortable and confident, knowing you’re in excellent hands.
"Masha's ability to mix candid shots with thoughtfully composed images was amazing, allowing us to fully enjoy our wedding without worrying about the photos, knowing that she was capturing everything perfectly."

“What we most appreciated about Roselyn and her team was their communication — quick, responsive, kind, and professional!”

HOW IT WORKS
After Your Initial Inquiry
Expect an email within 24-48 hours with a link to book a consultation call. You deserve the absolute best for your wedding, and I want to make sure my team and I are the best choice for you! It's also important for me to work with clients who align with my brand and values; and at this point in my business, I am unable to work with everyone that wants to hire me. If we decide we're a great fit (& I hope we are!), it's just a signed contract and 30% retainer and you're officially booked for your wedding!
Planning & Timeline
In the months leading up to your wedding, use me as your ultimate planning and styling resource; with all my years in the industry, it would be silly not to! I send various guides, tips, and helpful resources as you plan your celebration and about a month before your wedding, we'll hop on a planning call to go through your custom photography timeline and curated moodboard to make sure we have everything covered for a seamless wedding experience.
Preview
and Delivery
Your wedding will be absolutely stunning! Your vendor team and I will make sure of it. I deliver a 10-image preview gallery within a week of your wedding and full gallery delivery of artful, emotion-packed images within 8 weeks.
Heirloom Albums & Prints
I strongly believe in the value of printed artwork and offer complementary heirloom album design services with any booked package. I'll personally design your fine-art album so you can have a luxury keepsake to pass down to future generations.
YOU SHOULD KNOW
You deserve to *enjoy* your day — hire a planner!
(And so do your friends and family.) Which is why I exclusively accept weddings with planners — ask for my preferred list!
The best inspiration comes from life, not from Pinterest.
I am excited to work to make your images as original as you are! And while I don't mind a moodboard to get a feel for aesthetics, copying photos is where creativity goes to die.
I love it when you bring me your ideas, then trust in the reason you hired me.
And if you give me freedom to create, I'll deliver much more than "the shot list."
Do whatever you can to truly be present.
Some traditions are kind of dated — my favorite celebrations are with couples who are willing to do it their own way.
Trust us – a great DJ is worth their weight in gold.
If you want to have a legendary night, you want people on the dance floor and you want them to not be hungry. Forget the personalized matches and gifts (no one really notices).
Have the wedding you want, not the wedding that's "expected".
Your friends just want to celebrate you. Don't get so caught up with keeping up that you forget to have fun.
"If you hire Masha —
"She’ll be your favorite wedding purchase because her photos are absolutely stunning."
All of her photos highlighted my wedding day perfectly AND she captured my love with my now husband beautifully.
