Practice for the Big Day
An engagement session is the easiest way to get comfortable in front of the camera before your wedding day arrives. We shoot across Washington DC, Maryland, and Virginia, wherever the two of you like to spend time together.
Our Couples Say it best...
"We couldn't have asked for a better wedding photographer! Serge made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera, and what really stood out was how comfortable he made all of our guests feel too. He was so friendly, upbeat, and brought such great energy throughout the day. He was professional, dedicated, and captured every important moment beautifully. The final photos exceeded our expectations, and everything was delivered on time."
FALGUNI B. — THE KNOT
"I can't recommend Sokolov Photography enough! From start to finish, he exceeded our expectations in every way. He was prompt, professional, and incredibly flexible, making sure everything was tailored to our needs. The photos he captured are absolutely stunning, every special moment of our wedding day was beautifully documented. If you're looking for someone who delivers amazing photos while being easy to work with, Serge is the one!"
KRISTA — WEDDINGWIRE
"We had a great time working with Serge for our engagement photos! From our first virtual meeting we felt at ease with how the process would go. The final photos were beautiful and you would never know we had an unfortunate amount of gnats to contend with on the day of the shoot. Serge really cares about ensuring that you have the experience and result you want, and I am so glad we chose him to be our wedding photographer."

Venues
Venues We Know
Every venue shoots differently. Light changes room to room, hour to hour. We've photographed weddings at rooftop venues in DC, vineyards in Virginia, and historic estates across Maryland, and we know which spots are worth requesting before you set your day-of timeline.
Let’s Make Magic Together!!
Let’s Talk First.
Because you should know your photographer before they spend the biggest day of your life two feet from your face.
Weddings are personal. So is photography. And yet, the industry too often assumes you’ll hand over your most important memories to someone you’ve barely met. At Sokolov Photography, we think that’s, well… a bit mad.
Our complimentary 30-minute consultation is your moment to ask the questions Google can’t answer. Tell us your story, share your hopes, air your hesitations. We’ll talk about packages, timelines, Uncle Bob with the camera, and anything else on your mind.
No pressure. No pitch. Just a proper conversation between humans.
🎯 Book now, ask later. Your memories will thank you.
