I would recommend Stoyan Katinov to anyone who is looking for any type of photography. He is very talented. His work is beautiful. You will find him pleasant, professional, and prompt.
Stoyan Katinov took pictures for our daughter’s wedding. He provided a First Look/Bridal session, as well as photos for a civil wedding, wedding reception, and Temple sealing. We had him take pictures at all events and added one hour of video footage.
Stoyan went the extra mile. My daughter added the First Look session late. He accommodated her and took beautiful pictures. He made sure she had some pictures to display at the wedding reception. It was a tight time frame of only a couple days between, but he made it all happen.
The First Look session was a bit of a challenge with a significant amount of wind. Stoyan made the wind work in our daughter’s favor by capturing veil movement. The pictures turned out amazing. He was patient and spent a lot of time getting things just right. Their silhouette at sunset looked like it was out of a glamor magazine.
At the civil marriage and wedding reception, my daughter had numerous specific requests which Stoyan graciously accommodated. At the Temple photo session, he artfully negotiated a difficult backdrop. The Original Provo Temple had many people coming in and out of the doors. The pictures were lovely with him capturing the spring flowers and blossoms and of course the couple. He also captured far away and close up shots of the Temple. This Temple will soon be extensively renovated, so capturing the present look was important to my daughter.
The video was perfect! It was fun and enjoyable to watch and captured the most important moments. My daughter and her husband are fun. They smile a lot and are deeply in love. Stoyan captured both their joy and love.
Stoyan Katinov is the best photographer I have worked with. We have done family pictures professionally before and this is our third wedding.
Stoyan has photographed several of my children’s sporting events and every time I am amazed by the action images that he gets! He really captures the personalities of each kid and the emotion and passion of each team. Highly recommend!
Working with Stoyan as our Utah wedding photographer was an unforgettable experience. He made us feel comfortable and ensured that all of the details were perfect, resulting in beautiful photos from the day! We can't recommend him enough for anyone looking to capture their special moments - weddings, engagements or bridal sessions included!
Stoyan with Katinov Photography saved the day for us! After much research, we chose to use Stoyan for both our Formals and Wedding Day photography. He was upfront, honest, and clearly has a talented eye. I let him know that we had tried working with a different photographer with less experience and that had been a horrible experience that left us feeling that we couldn't get good pictures of us because we are "older" and "not photogenic". Stoyan was fantastic at working with us and our nerves. His experience showed through not only in his ability to pose us quickly, he knew the best places for great photos, and helped us relax and have fun, and he was very professional with his paperwork and process. The end result was fantastic! We have hundreds of wonderful pictures that we love! His efficiency allowed him to get this done in less billed hours as well, saving us money. I wish we had hired Stoyan from the get go. I'm so glad we found him in the end as he really did save the day! Ever grateful, - Bryan and Jennifer
Our family pictures turned out beautiful. Stoyan was super easy to work with. He let us have a say in what we wanted and he gave his own creative feedback and made the whole experience a beautiful day. And now we have these great photos to remember that day!
