Wall art and baby albums created from a newborn session are one of the best ways to cherish the photographs of your little ones forever. Most of the images of newborn are taken together with parents and siblings, and we focus on capturing love and connection within the family. Portraits of baby alone will be taken as well but in more casual way.

My wife and I were looking for someone to take wedding pictures for us. As we weren't having a traditional wedding due to the pandemic, we wanted to find someone who would take great pictures so we could have some great memories of the big day. We found Sergey from a google search and throughout the whole process, Sergey was professional and explained the process well. He asked us questions about our relationship and what we loved about each other which made me feel like he was sincerely interested in capturing our love. He even went to our photo venue ahead of time to look for good spots

I found Sergey from a Google search. I am so glad I did because my wedding photos are beautiful! He took the time to send me suggestions on what times were good for golden hour. He also helped look for locations that would make for beautiful photos. Sergey made sure I was able to get the shots and scenery I wanted, but he also gave me great suggestions on what he thought would like nice. I have so many beautiful memories to share!

My fiancé worked with Red Trolley Studio to create the perfect proposal. Sergey did a great job planning with my fiancé and I was totally surprised that we had a photographer capturing the most precious moment of my life. I absolutely love our pictures and Sergey gave us a few shots the very next day. I can't thank Red Trolley Studio enough for the wonderful pictures, sincerity, and professionalism. We had an amazing experience!

What an absolute pleasure to have worked with Sergey and Dilyara for our wedding. We met with them after receiving their info from a bridal show I attended and after just a few minutes with them at their studio, we were smitten. They are fabulous people and just created wonderful videos for us to watch for the rest of our life.
They are incredibly professional and so creative. Both of them have such an eye for catching and creating moments that really made the video spectacular. They're willing to work with you to help make your experience smooth and seamless. The videos they produced for

Let me start by saying hiring Red Trolley for our wedding photography and videography has to be the best decision we have made as an (almost) married couple. Sergey and Dilyara made such a huge effort to keep us grounded, and in the moment during our big day.
I will never forget the moment before our first look (we decided to do one). They took the time to come to each of us separately and really tell us to be in the moment, alone with each other, before the craziness of big day. When I turned to see my husband for the first time and our eyes met, everything faded away and we cried the happiest

I worked with Red Trolley Studio on two separate occasions: a family Christmas photos and my son's photoshoot for a Talent Agency. Both times I had great experience and my son got a contract with an agency in LA with the help of the photos taken by Dilyara and Sergei. I highly recommend choosing Red Trolley Studio for your special moments.

Sergey & Dilyara created a magical photography session for our family. They assisted us with the planning of the photos and found the perfect locations. The colors and lighting were incredibly realistic and they captured our genuine personalities. They are highly skilled and well educated. They are an amazing team and they go above and beyond to ensure customers are pleased. I'm thrilled with our photos!

I met Sergey and Dilyara at a Bridal Show in San Diego. I was instantly drawn to their photography style because you could really see the raw emotion in the moments they captured in their photography. I also loved the fact that they are a photographer couple! Shortly after meeting them we hired them for our engagement photos and to document our wedding. Additionally, we hired Red Trolley Studio to do our videography and video editing!
Both experiences were absolutely amazing. Sergey and Dilyara really know how to work with you to help you feel your feelings in order to get those really raw, emotional

Dilyara and Sergey are very friendly, patient and professional. They took our newborn daughter's photos and they turned out amazing! Even though she was fussing and crying a lot, they were prepared for it all, and dealt with it very patiently. They guided us through the whole process, and made sure we were all happy with the shoot.The result photos were so beautiful, we were very happy with them.
Family portraits and newborn photos are a must-have, and I recommend Red Trolley Studios to capture those precious moments!

Incredibly talented, empathetic, and innovative, Sergey and Dilyara were the perfect photographers for our wedding. They made the planning process fast and easy, and flew all the way to New York on a short notice! Our ceremony was in Shakespeare Garden, Central Park. Sergey and Dilyara arrived in NYC a day prior and, on the day of the wedding, were at the park bright and early, already familiar with the place and armed with ideas.
Our photos turned out magical! They captured candid beautiful moments that day, and today every time we look at the photos we get to relive those precious moments. We

I've been a wedding planner and wardrobe stylist in San Diego for 15+ years (17 to be exact ) through my company, CBS LIFESTYLIST. Needless to say I've come across many photographers in San Diego and all over the globe. Red Trolley Studio is special: innovative, motivated, talented and wait...oh yeah, lovely! Dilyara & Sergey are not only brilliantly talented, they are kind, patient and just plain great people. Recently, my husband, Brian and I experienced a photo shoot with them and we were blown away. They extracted every emotion possible and they captured it all! We felt joyful

We loved working with Red Trolley for our wedding! Our pictures are amazing! Not only was Sergey creative with his shots, he was friendly and professional. They walked us through the day and worked with us on the schedule before the wedding, but he was flexible when we had to change things. All of our wedding party commented on how much they liked working with Sergey and how much they loved the pictures. We were on a tight budget and they worked with us on our options as well. They exceeded our expectations. We would highly recommend them for any occasion!

I was hesitant at first to hire a videographer for my wedding, despite my friends insistence that it was absolutely necessary, because I was concerned about losing some of the intimacy of my small 50-person event. Sergey and Dilyara from Red Trolley Studio completely exceeded all expectations!!! Not only were they the sweetest, most considerate team to work with, the passion and creativity they put into our highlight video brought my husband and I both to tears. At no time I felt the intimacy of the event was invaded, on the contrary, they were very inconspicuous and courteous. They were able to

After reading great reviews on RTS last August (2014), I contacted Sergey and Dilyara to shoot an event I didn't even have a solid date for: a military homecoming! Over a 9-10 month period, I had constant contact, updating them with possible dates, locations, and times, which were ever changing. They were so patient! Finally, a solid date came, we discussed pricing, location, etc, and everything was set!
Even up until the last 24 hours before my husband pulled into port in San Diego on an air craft carrier, Sergey and Dilyara were accommodating my every minutiae change! Sergey started shooting

Red Trolley photographed our engagement pictures, and most recently our wedding in Balboa Park on 9/20. Sergey is the owner and photographer, and is very professional. He has excellent communication- we texted, talked on the phone and emailed a lot before the big day. We met a couple of times in person, even once at the venue to discuss where we'd like pictures taken. On the day of the wedding, Sergey showed up on time and ready to go! He was SO punctual with everything- after the ceremony we finished with our photos to the exact minute listed on the timeline! And now, just a month after the
