ABOUT

About Tatiana Valerie

Hello there!

I’m Tatiana, an award-winning Ukrainian-American wedding photographer known for capturing the most exquisite moments of your special day. My formal training in art and photography, combined with over two decades of practice in the US, has shaped my unique approach to creating timeless, authentic wedding photos.

My professional journey began with a simple dream: to immortalize the beauty and joy of couples in love. This dream propelled my work into the pages of prestigious publications including Harper’s Bazaar, Marie Claire, InStyle, and The New York Times, marking me as a distinguished name in wedding photography.

I am here to provide a stress-free, enjoyable experience of wedding photography and videography to you and your loved ones on your very special day. Getting that perfect shot every time brings me so much joy!

When I am not behind the lens, you’ll likely find me embarking on my latest travel adventure. Whether it’s diving in the Great Barrier Reef, savoring a delightful meal at a quaint street café in Buenos Aires, taking a ferry from Spain to Morocco, enjoying the tranquility of caring for my two cats and my little garden in Weehawken, NJ or soaking in a movie on the rooftop of my Related rental in Manhattan, my urban oasis amidst the bustling cityscape.

…Tatiana is a phenomenal photographer and great to work with. She has a great eye and helps the subject feel at ease in front of the camera. I have also known Tatiana personally over the last few years and she has incredible integrity. I recommend her without hesitation.

I don’t even know where to begin in expressing my extreme gratitude for Tatiana and her team. Absolutely incredible experience. Tatiana was wonderful from beginning to end, she was not only sweet, friendly and a beautiful person, she was also the picture of professionalism. The entire time I was in great hands and I didn’t doubt it for one second. When I received the photos and footage of my wedding, my heart stood still. She captured so many endearing moments that I will forever hold dear. Delivering over 1500+ photos, each one a work of art. I am blown away by her! I recommend her without hesitation, in fact, it would be a mistake choosing anyone else! Tatiana and her team are absolutely AMAZING! 100%

…Tatiana of Artvesta Studio is a master in the art of capturing moments, but what really stands her apart from the rest is the way she makes her subjects feel about themselves. Tatiana has a way of bringing out the best in everyone, putting even the least ‘photogenic’ individuals at ease, and making them feel their most beautiful…

Tatiana and her team was amazing! We hired them for our wedding in NYC. Everything was perfect – they arrived early to setup and captured every moment perfectly. Most importantly, the photos and video far exceeded our expectations! Tatiana is incredibly detailed oriented and from the moment we spoke on the phone we felt at ease with everything. Her team was even more amazing on the day of, working seamlessly as a team to capture everything. We could tell that the photographers and videographers work together all the time and knew how to coordinate one another. Could not recommend them more highly!

– Robert K.
My husband and I got married in November 2018 and choosing Tatiana as our photographer was one of the best decisions we made in the whole process. From the first meeting we had with her, we were immensely impressed by not only her professionalism but also her empathetic and compassionate nature. Tatiana was extremely patient and listened to any questions we had and also really worked with us to plan our big day. Tatiana was extremely open to any ideas we had but was also realistic with us to ensure that we were all on the same page and all of our expectations were met. On our big day, Tatiana was in full control and was ready to roll with the punches with uncertain weather. Tatiana stayed on schedule while ensuring both my husband and I, along with our families, were not only comfortable but were having a great time. We are extremely pleased with the final product as Tatiana and her team did a beautiful job with our posed photos and flawlessly captured the spirit and atmosphere of our wedding day with phenomenal candid shots. We cannot speak highly enough of Tatiana and highly recommend her for anyone looking to book a photographer for their wedding day or any other occasion!
