Thoughtful guidance, without ever feeling staged or unnatural.

A timeless gallery that lets you relive your day, over and over again.



What my clients say


My clients often tell me they felt completely at ease in front of the camera, even if they were camera-shy at first. They speak about the photography coverage naturally flowing.

We cannot recommend Moments by Ioana Stavar enough! She is SO good at her craft, and makes you feel so comfortable in front of the camera. My brother texted us after and said "your photographer was SO locked in, holy ...." Her photos are beautiful, she is kind and captures all the important moments without making it feel like a chore to take photos. You can tell she loves what she does and we are so happy with our photos from her! BOOK BOOK BOOK!

"We hired Ioana for our 150-person wedding at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, and we would highly recommend her! From the very beginning, Ioana was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly generous with her time and expertise. It was clear that she truly cared about us as clients and wanted to understand what mattered most to us. When we first met and asked to see more of her portfolio, we were blown away by how consistently beautiful each of her albums was. And sure enough, when we received our own wedding gallery, we felt the same way. She captured us, the venue, the small details, and our guests so perfectly."
