  CHRIS AND SUZANNE :: WEDDING Weddings

August 29th, 2008

I am ready to share with you Chris and Suzanne’s wedding photos. What an absolutely fabulous day!!! Full of emotions, romance, joy, surprises and touching toasts. One of the things which really touched me – it was said that “Chris knows the art of life. He loves to travel and discover new places and he opened a whole new world for Suzanne. Suzanne is the person who knows art of love. She brings them both back. Suzanne gives to Chris that warm and cozy feeling of being at home…” They simply complete each other and together they have so much fun. Wow! When you hear something like that you understand that there is something magical is happening right now, right at this moment.  And you want to cry, tears of joy and happiness wanted to come out- that how I felt when I was there. 
Thank  you Suzanne and Chris, It was such a honor to be part of your wedding day!
I listen CD with your favorite songs – it makes me think about you guys. Using music it was really great idea to share with us a part of your soul. And your pictures on the table from different parts of the world were really cool idea.

 I love everything about these small details you created for your wedding.
  Have a blast in Hawaii’s!!!!!

There were a bunch in the slideshow that I really liked a lot. The one of her smiling after the guys toasting. The low angle from the back of the church is nice too. But I really love the first one looking down on them right before the B&W group shot. It is by far my fav.

I am so happy for you guys, even when we only met last winter, and we are in Chile now, We are so happy, the pictures are extremely good, so nice, but I missed MANDY, where is she?... have a nice honey moon... take care PAOLA & CRISTIAN FROM CHILE

Suzanne   September 9th, 2008
Being an artist I wanted a photographer that gave you "that feeling" when one looked at their work. I searched and searched. So many other photographers' photos looked anonymous... generic... lifeless. Not the case with Yuka. I could not be happier with my photo's so far. Yuka has captured our souls, the essence of who we are. Each photo is saturated with emotion, meaning, and life. The compositions are also very complex and interesting. Yuliya and Lyosha are truly gifted artists. I feel so honored to have had Yuka shoot my wedding and engagemant. I can only imagine viewing these photographs twenty years from now with perhaps my own children ... and I know that these beautiful photo's will still tell the true story of our love. Thank you Yuliya and Lyosha for conveying so beautifully who we really are and giving us such a treasure. Chris and I thought you were wonderful to work with... we had such fun!

Tiffany is one of the most beautiful pregnant women I ever seen!
It is difficult to believe, but this picture was taken in a due day, she expected delivery every minute during the photo shoot….I am so glad, she is a mother of little girl right now!
Thank you for trusting me to capture this wonderful moment in your life!!!

I just don't understand why would anybody pass an opportunity to hire Yuka for their wedding photography here, especially here in Buffalo. It is NYC level of craftsmanship and it is here, in Buffalo! I love the slide show very much, the music diffused in these photos make it a magical combination! I feel like I went to the movies and saw a very special romantic movie. Great job! And a very cute third character in the photo shot.

the best i've ever seen,,,,, the two nicest people I know!
  SUNNY SUNDAY! Personal

August 18th, 2008

This August is full of photo shoots, plans and news. I have plenty of pictures to share but it will take time to retouch photos and publish result.
By the way, yesterday was the most sunny Sunday in month and we did not ignore that. We started with delicious breakfast with our friends Elena and Andrew, and then we rented kayaks, get  map and put out to river. We discovered that we have so many beautiful views right near area where we live!!! After 4 hours of heartily rowing against the current we come back. Then we crossed the border and spent great time with our other close friends in beautiful Niagara on the Lake town . At the end of the day we arranged  a little picnic with Elena and Andrew and it was great finishing of the great day.

I love days like this, when you can enjoy the weather and company of best friends!!!

  JUSTIN AND LEITA :: WEDDING Art work, Weddings

August 13th, 2008

leita and Justin … beauty and strength, bride and groom…..
Their wedding was so intimate. It’s looked like they escaped from their world and their reality.
Leita and Justin arrived from Virginia for their Wedding day and next morning they were gone, on the way to home. We met very early to capture pre-wedding photos and there i realized what a great decision it was! I love when couple sees each other before the ceremony. It makes the day less stressful and pictures more natural. The weather was wonderful and we took several pictures near the botanical garden and then we moved towards to Barton Hill hotel in Lewiston.
This place is just gorgeous. Every detail of interior speaks about the history and artistic taste.

Justin and Leita,  thank you so much for inviting us to share your beautiful day. Please accept our biggest congratulations to the two of you and your families!

Do not forget to see their SLIDE SHOW !

I made a couple art pictures:

  RED SCREAM FILMS::DAY I Personal, Photo shoots

August 8th, 2008

Yesterday I started to shoot on the movie set RED SCREAM FILMS again! I am totally excited about that!!!! I met many new interesting and talented people and some people from previous  movie set.
My first day was too “dirty” (see photos of my lovely bags and my clothes which were covered with bloody paint and dust). This day all scenes were organized in Buffalo Central Terminal. This place impregnate with mystic spirit…. I just love it! 
Here are couple pictures I took while talents were getting ready.

I totally agree with you on the "spirit" of this place! It's so fun to attend when they have art shows here. Curious about this movie! What is it?!

  ANDREW AND ERIN :: WEDDING Weddings

August 5th, 2008

I have just finished a SLIDE SHOW of my favorite photos from Andrew and Erin’s Wedding.
It was incredibly emotional and beautiful day!!! The weather was great; everything went on schedule without any “surprises”. Erin and Andrew had their ceremony at beautiful Baker Memorial United Methodist Church . Erin is a teacher and right after the ceremony her kids arrived to church to congratulate. It was just wonderful and we did not miss an opportunity to capture these moments.
Then we went to hospital, because Erin’s dad was there. There is the big chapel inside of the hospital and Andrew and Erin had a small intimate ceremony there for her dad.  And the First Dance - Erin and her Dad. It was the one of the most touching moments of the day: the music, light, emotions, tears…    
I never forget this….. The moments like these remind us about some thing very fragile and very important…….
 
Thank you!

It was so hard to pick favorites from their session, but here they are and their slide show below!
