Maxim Photo Studio

Lee and I have recieved numerous compliments and we abosultely love the picutres. We think you and your staff did an amazing job and we are very appreciative of all the wonderful memories that you have created for us that we can enjoy for a lifetime. We especially enjoyed taking pictures out on the golf course, we had a blast!

Max is an incredibly professional photographer. He took the time to meet with us months before the wedding took place in order to get to know my wife and I. He asked tons of questions to make certain he captured moments that would reflect not our preferences and desires. Max will do anything to get the shot. Not only does he have a great support staff that is constantly capturing photos from all angles, but Max himself was lying in streets, hanging off of lamp posts and climbing tall buildings to find the perfect picture. I really cannot say enough about Max. He was courteous to all the amateur photographers snapping shots around him at the wedding. He made certain my wife and I were seen with all the important people in our lives. Max helped make out wedding a success and made certain we will relive it forever. Thank you Max for being a part of our Indian Wedding. It was a crazy experience. Planning was stressful as all hell, but I never worried about the photographer. Mike

Maxim Photo Studio is everything that you could dream of from a photography company and more. The owner, Max Surikov himself is the most professional, creative, flexible and committed photographer that there is out there. It was also evident that each of his photographers that we came into contact with are also held to these high standards. Max was our lead photographer, and the images were simply elegant and astonishing. He made my husband and I feel incredible, both beautiful and intimate, on our wedding day. We also used the Photo booth which was a huge hit! Max completed our engagement photos & our American wedding ceremony, and a different photographer for our Korean Wedding Ceremony. Each of the events’ photos turned out phenomenal, we had access very quick to them and with all of the pictures we were very pleased. Maxim Photo Studio is not only the photographers that we used for our wedding events, but now is who we consider to be the only photographer that we will trust for all of our family photos and events in the future.

We had Max for our photographer at our wedding. He did THE MOST amazing job capturing our wedding. We wanted to be able to look back in a book and remember exactly what happened and the feelings that were involved and thanks to Max we will now be able to do that. He called us weeks before the wedding, showed up before we even got to the venue, captured us, our friends, and our family, and a few days after the wedding we were able to view some of our pictures! He truly was a great photographer and I would recommend him to anyone. Great pricing too.

Max was our photographer for our May wedding, and he was absolutely amazing! Max was very flexible and remained professional throughout our wedding day. Pictures were quickly posted on facebook (which I LOVED) and the quality was better than I had ever expected. I have received so many rave reviews about our wedding photos from family and friends. The album he put together blew me away, and my mom could not wait to show hers off to all of her friends. I couldn't have asked for a better keepsake from my wedding day! Max is AWESOME and I would recommend him to anyone who truly wants quality photos taken and a photographer who takes the time to capture all of the details! I am forever grateful for the memories he captured.

Best Photographer Ever!!!! Reasonably priced, professional, incredibly talented, and just a really nice guy. Max captured our special day in the most memorable way. The pictures were all great and the photobooth was enjoyed by all. Trusting Max was one of the best decisons we made.

Our wedding took place on February 26, 2011 at the Dayton Art Institute. The venue was so insanely beautiful that we were quite sure we would look back on our wedding and think "you just had to be there"- We were wrong. Maxim Photo Studio captured the night in absolutely incredible artistic form. I may be bragging but I have never seen a more stunning set of wedding photos than what Maxim presented us with. The reason that you have a photographer is so that you can relive the most special day of your life every time you open your album. Max gave us the best wedding present we could get and five stars just doesn't do him justice.

Amazing! Amazing! Amazing! Max and Niki were wonderful to work with. They were very professional, flexible with scheduling, worked within our budget and produced high quality photos, albums and videos. They provided us with awesome memories. We can't thank them enough!

Max was fantastic to work with! I'd give him 5+ stars!!! Ironically, my first choice for photographer was snatched our from under us (the day we called to book after our meeting, someone else had just booked our date without having a meeting...), and I was very disappointed. My now-husband was particularly picky when I showed him examples of photographers I found. He didn't like ANY of them! One he did like from Cincinnati refused to meet us half-way between Cinci and Dayton. My husband and I felt that if someone couldn't bother to meet us 30 minutes away to try to earn our business, what kind of service would he give us on our wedding day? If we are willing to pay thousands of dollars for one day, we felt like going a little bit out of his way wasn't much to ask. So.....we came across Max! My mom always said that thing happen for a reason...well, I'm so happy to say that I am glad my first photographer was unavailable! Max met us at our convenience and even offered to meet us near our home (even though we weren't too far from him). He emailed almost immediately in response to my initial inquiry. He was very timely, great at following up/through, did what he said he would do and when he said he would do it, and was extremely professional and straightforward with us, which was very refreshing. Our big thing was that we wanted our image files. He gives them to clients in their package, and they are in a larger format than most photographers. Max has many packages set up and was able to explain the advantages of each. For our package an engagement session was included, as well as a reception slide show and live photo booth. Both were HUGE hits at our reception! We also wanted to have our pictures taken at a different location before the ceremony, and he was totally fine with that. Very flexible and got many pictures in a rather different setting. We also had him video our wedding...I had 2 friends tell me that they regretted not videoing their wedding. I didn't think one way or another about it....until after I saw our video!!! OMG! I cried when I watched it, it was soooo incredible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The images were uploaded to our secure site within a few days of our wedding and looked great! Within a couple of weeks of our wedding Max dropped off our image and video DVDs. We haven't ordered prints/albums yet, but we are sure they will be superb like everything else. Max was refreshing to work with and has a good sense of humor and offers excellent service and value. Some photographers seemed full of themselves and do the same things everyone else does, including charging outrageous fees for each portion of their services. Max is a breath of fresh air--he does a super job and delivers super quality and goes all out--we could tell he was there to make sure we had great images to remember our day. (Also, we could hardly tell they were around during the ceremony and reception--but they got pictures of almost everything!) A++++++++!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Max was very professional and really easy to work with, especially on the wedding day. He met with us a few months before the wedding to get to know us as a couple and get an idea about the "style" we wanted as well as to go over the package options. Before the wedding he gave me a checklist form to fill out about the pictures we definitely wanted, and on the day of the wedding he got all of them and more. Of course the timing of the day was off, but he was very flexible and we got everything taken care of. Also, within a month we were given a DVD will ALL of the pictures taken that was ours to keep. Currently, we have not yet chosen the images we want printed that will complete our package, but I am excited to work with him to finish the pics. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone.

Max and his team were fantastic. Not only were they incredible photographers but Max went over and beyond, 8 days before the wedding my DJ cancelled out on me and he was calling arround trying to help me find a new DJ. Thank you Max for capturing incredible moments that we can treasure forever

Maxim Photo Studio did an absolutely wonderful job durint our Wedding Day! We met with Max to plan the event, and he worked with us calmly and efficiently to make sure we would get exactly what we planned for during our day. The ceremony and reception shots came out absolutely great, we couldn't have asked for more! He also provided us with video documentation, which was a nicely added bonus to help us remember the small details of the day. I would Definetly recommend Max for any bride and groom!! It was great!

Max was the photographer at my daughter's September wedding at Miami University in Oxford Ohio. I can't thank him enough for the stunning memories he captured of that beautiful day. He sent us a sample of some of the photos within days of the wedding, and everyone who viewed them were blown away by the professional, artistic and creative quality shown in every one of them. His photography is truely artistic and exceeded our expectations in everyway. He was so patient and easy to work with which just made our satisfaction all the greater. We had some tremendous vendors for this wedding, but none better than Max.

Our photographer, Max, was amazing. I highly recommend him for anyone looking for a wedding photographer. He took wonderful pictures. I am very picky when it comes to photography. I loved his style of photography. He took so many pictures and they are all beautiful. Max is the BEST wedding photographer around!

Max was our photographer for our August wedding and we couldn't have been happier. He was extremely responsive; he always answered emails and phone calls immediately. He was very flexible and provided us exactly what we wanted on our wedding day and with our package. Max and his assistant, Nikki, were very professional and captured amazing photos. We received numerous compliments about the photos at the reception (they were able to set up a slideshow!). Our neighbors were married at the same venue and commented on how great the pictures turned out and wished they had used Max! Pictures were on Facebook immediately and Max sent a link to all of our photos very quickly, we were able to look at wedding photos at the airport on our way home from our honeymoon. We highly recommend Maxim Photo Studio!

Max, We want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the tremendous work you did with the photography of our wedding. We received many comments from our guests about how fantastic you were and never missed a moment. We were really fortunate to have you there on the most important day of our lives. Once we received our proofs (so quickly) after the wedding, we could not believe how many special moments you had captured. You had an eye for the artistic angles that were both stylish and captivating, which will bring a unique look to our wedding album. The shots were so full of emotion that they really portrayed the mood of our wedding day. There were also those humorous candid shots that we never knew were taken. Another aspect of your photographic style that we enjoyed was not having a camera in our faces during the event. Instead, you were quietly in the background, capturing the mood and ambiance of our special day. We could not thank you more for your hard work. You were a delight to work with. Thank you again!

Max and his team were wonderful to work with. He did a great job on my photos and I have gotten many complements on them. He was very responsive to all my questions and concerns. He provided a great service at a great price. I would highly recommend him to anyone and everyone. I am so glad I used Maxim Photo Studio!

Max was wonderful to deal with! He is very personable, friendly, and really knows what he is doing! He did a wonderful job with our engagement pics, some of the best pictures I have seen. He was always very efficient with responding to questions and concerns. During and before the wedding he did such a wonderful job of getting both staged and candid shots. We had two photographers and an assistant who were contantly making sure that we were taken care of. The pictures and album turned out better than I could imagine! Not to mention that we had pics posted of the wedding in less than 2 days as well as a slideshow playing at the wedding of pics he had just taken! No complaints here! satisfied customers!

Our pictures and personal experience with Maxim Photography was perfect! We had a storybook wedding, and now have a goregous one-of-a-kind wedding album and framed photos to help us relive our incredible day! Max and his photographers were personable, professional and creative! We couldn't have asked for more!

Max did a wonderful job of capturing our wedding. He was prompt, professional, and always ready to get the shots we needed. He even helped my husband with his cuff links! Most of the wedding pictures were posted online the day after the wedding, so we spent the day refreshing the page, constantly amazed at the quality of his pictures. We would highly recommend Max to anyone looking for a photographer in the area. You won't regret it. -Walter and Victoria Hansen (Married 8/1/09)
