I'm a visual enthusiast with a degree in Arts Management. My style is mostly photojournalistic, embracing natural and romantic elements. In each wedding, my aim is to craft something different and unique, capturing a set of storytelling moments that reflect the essence of the day. What truly drives me is the moment when my clients receive the picture, and tell me how they love them. Knowing that my work will be forever cherished by others adds a meaningful layer.

Working with Villa was one of the best choices we made as part of wedding planning. During the initial planning, she was responsive, thoughtful, and considerate of our vision. She understands that most people have never planned a wedding before helped us not only plan photos, but reorganize our reception to flow better. My husband and I are very photo shy, enough so that we debated on whether or not to even hire a photographer for the wedding. Villa was so great at directing interesting, natural poses that didn't feel forced or awkward in the moment. We opt-ed not to do an engagement shoot, but if we had to do it all over again, we absolutely would with Villa. During day of, Villa was extremely detailed and organized. She arrived early to the venue to capture photos and understand the space overall. She was very good about taking photos in a way that didn't interrupt the flow of events while navigating a fairly large and irregularly shaped venue. We received a great blend of editorial and photo-journalistic images that really captured the day beautifully. She has a great eye for wide shots, close up details, and artistic framing. Our wedding day started on a sunny day at noon and ended in the evening. Villa shot great photos throughout all the lighting changes during the day including many flash photography and low light shots after the sun had set. We had a great experience sharing our wedding day with Villa and think you would too!

From elegant hotels to rustic barns and Caribbean beaches, I capture each love story with authenticity and heart. Let's create something timeless together.

Awarded Best of Zola
Our story begins with me and my wife meeting at the gym in a cycle studio for the first time years ago. The gym is our most sacret place for both of us. So we agreed to discuss our ideas to Serge. His reaction became very possitive, motivating which gave us the confident that we needed. My wife is also a coffee lover and he suggested to take some pictures in a fancy coffee shot. It was hilarious and different but absolutely loved it!! We also both love nature and like to spend time outdoors. He took us to a magical place that is relaxing and unforgettable. We had a specific time of the day to perform our photo shoot, unfortunately, we were running late and my wife was very worried if we would have enough time to fit all our plans. At the same time Serge had other appointments after our photo shoot. He called to check on us to see if everything was as planned. We then explained the situation. Took it so calm and professionally that he understood what we were going through. This helped build back our confidence and encouraged us to continue as we talk about. Planning for a huge photshoot does take alot of time and energy to make it perfect. He explained that everything will be amazing but it wasn't amazing, it was EXTREMELY WONDERFUL AND BEYONG OUR EXPECTATIONS. We shared our ideas with him and later brought everything we mention to reality. It was all detailed to perfection and nothing was left out. He's skills were organized neatly that it was breathtaking. The experience we had was so much fun, exciting, and perfect that we can't stop talking about it and thanking Sokolov Photgraphy for everything they did for us. That's why we want to share this incredible experience with everyone. Once again, thank you Serge for the time and effort you put into our pictures. It means so much to us. And we love every single on of them. Rob & Cindy

I have the coolest job in the world: I create emotional time capsules for my couples (and hopefully you too). That way, you get to be fully present on your wedding day and you get to relive that day over and over again with the same intensity, joy and love. My not-so-secret sauce is this: I get to know you. I find out what makes you and your lover tick, and then, I craft a visual story that's reflective of you. My utmost goal is to create joyful imagery for folks who want things documented exactly as they felt.

Awarded Best of Zola
There are only good things to say about working with Maggie! We booked her for our engagement photos as well as for our wedding day. During the engagement session, she captured some true gems by helping us stay comfortable and true to ourselves. Leading up to our wedding day she was communicative, made sure she understood what our vision/priorities were, and worked well with our planner. On our wedding day, she was so fun to work with, got some beautiful shots of the big moments, and some incredible shots of little ones, too. Even just in our sneak peaks from our wedding, there are so many lovely candids amidst well-placed staged family/couple shots. She has great vision and good ideas and is fun to be around for the process! Regardless, her work speaks for itself. We highly recommend booking Maggie for your engagement and wedding photos!!

I have the most amazing memories from childhood of being cuddled up with my Granny going through old pictures. The joy and nostalgia that came from those old film photos where everything. My favorite part was always looking up at my Granny as she got lost in each individual memory, seeing her face shape shift in moments of grief over the past and then instant joy because she knew that she could relive that moment as long as she had those photos. Every time I pick up my camera I strive to create tangible moments that will last a lifetime.

We had the absolute best time with Sy'Vone for both our engagement and wedding photos. She is kind, patient, and has an incredible eye. She understood what I wanted for my wedding photos and even created a vision board so I could verify it (the vision board is also in and of itself just beautiful). Not only did we love her, our guests loved her. Everyone came up to me and said how wonderful she was. I can't thank you enough!

  • Serves Franconia, VA

After my first year of college studying music, I decided to take the business route. I worked for several Fortune 500 businesses and even some start-ups. Photography initially started as a hobby but it slowly became a passion as I developed a growing desire to serve others instead of quarterly sales goals. Studying various genres of photography allowed me to discover wedding & portrait photography - and the rest is history! From Washington DC to your destination event, my specialties include weddings, engagement sessions, and portrait photography.

Prior to finding out about MFields Photography, I was very frustrated with the process of booking a wedding photographer. So much so that by chance I was venting to my dental hygienist about my lackluster experience of finding a wedding photographer to capture one of the most beautiful moments of my life. Luckily she understood my dilemma since she was a newlywed. She told me all about MFields Photography and how great he was to work with. After my appointment she showed me her wedding pictures and I was SOLD. I called Myron the next day and he been making my role as a bride easy ever since. Myron is a valuable resource to have on your wedding team. Not only is he a great photographer, but he is well respected in his field. He also connected us to other reputable wedding professionals that helped us bring the magic for our wedding day. We are beyond grateful.
