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:

Thank you Justin and Leita  for sharing your amazing day with us! We had such an amazing time!

 A little sneak peek into what’s to come!

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!

After we have got back from our trip I started postproduction with  rest of photos from Nick and Rozana’s session. Every picture I work on becomes  my favorite…  and there are so many of those ..

 A several days ago we had a chance to shoot wedding portraits for the beautiful couple. It was unique photo shoot, because Nick and Rozana are already husband and wife, and they Dad and Mom also.  Nick and Rozana decided to hang several wedding portraits on the wall in their house so I helped them to bring this project into reality. I just love when people think out of the box and do unusual and crazy things.
The most interesting part was - they came in wearing absolute gorgeous traditional Pakistani attire. Rich gold colors, henna art on Rozana’s hands and so many stunning details in every part of their costumes….
The second part was even more beautiful. They brought their classic suit and wedding dress.
Rozana’s wedding dress was just magnificent - she looked like a princess from tales…
We spent awesome time together working on this little project.
I want to Thank - Anita for this great opportunity, Weather- for letting us to shoot in the park (it started raining as we just finished), Lyosha for great photos (we worked together)
Thank you - Rozana and Nick, you are just so sweet together! Thank you both so much for wonderful time!

I have so many favorites from this shoot. Here are just a few. Enjoy it!

I am promise, this is last favorite photo from this amazing wedding…I just can not stop falling in love with some pictures…… 

I decided to upload couple more favorite b/w photos from the last wedding….Sonya looks here very beautiful and vintage.

Today I would like to share with you my new  multimedia instrument to give my clients a virtually real feel to move thru my albums.

I have just finished a slide show and ready to share with you these amazing photos from the Wedding which we captured last week. The ceremony and reception took place at Bristol Harbour . It was a great spot to have the ceremony and then get some incredible pictures.

This couple is so funny, so cute and so much in love…
I would like to list some things which made their wedding such an unique:
- They both are ballroom dancers and they presented Viennese waltz.
- Sonya changed 3 dresses during reception
- They both were so calm before ceremony and this shows how strong their love!
- Sonya said us before the ceremony - “Vladimir will be a flower girl…only Vladimir can do it for me! This is about us!” And Vladimir did it. Everybody was deeply touched.
- It supposes to rain but it did not!

And I can continue more and more……
Sonya and Vladimir, we want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for trusting us with such an important day. You are two beautiful, no ordinary people, and we’ve had so much enjoyment capturing your Wedding!

Look for more pictures on SLIDE SHOW HERE….

Have a great weekends,

I am not sure who this little guy was , but his cuteness was definitely blog worthy!
