I did not finish postproduction yet but I would like to share with you one more picture….. 

Here is my new sneak peek from beautiful wedding!

Not too long time ago I posted their engagement photographs and now I am more than happy to share with you my favorites form Beth and Chris’s Wedding! That day was just  perfect- no rain, not too hot, no rush, no craziness ..Only happiness is in the air and love in their hearts.
When I came to salon early morning I felt a little nervous… as usually …before I meet the bride. But as soon as I saw Beth’s smile (the most beautiful smile!!!) I forgot about my worries. She is always like that….you feel comfortable and easy with this girl.

Dear Beth and Chris thank you soo much for being so sweet, for trusting us to capture the most important day of your life.
 I have a lot of favorites!

Here are a few from getting ready:

Her wedding dress was just gorgeous!

After spending whole week shooting and editing on the computer I realized that I need a rest…just a little bit….a few hours
Now I will share with you one favorite photo from previous wedding:

~Happy Father’s Day!

 It was small intimate wedding for two beautiful souls. Feng and Shieh-Jian were surrounded only by close friends and family. This made their day more special and emotional. These two are beautiful musicians,  sweet persons and fabulous couple. It was an honor for us to be a part of their Wedding day.
Guys, thank you so much for sharing your amazing day with us.

P.S. Spacial thank you goes to Frank Dimeo for referral!

I’m happy to share a few my favorite photographs from their wedding with you:

As I mentioned before I worked as a graphic designer in Ukraine. It was time when I worked with my mother (She is an owner of a  travel company in Kiev, Ukraine).  I was glad to use my experience designing  “Save the date” card for my friends and now(I am soo excited!!!!)  my bride and groom- Elena and  Andrey. I used one of their photographs from their “Love session”…

Just a quick post for brides.
I truly recommend visiting this website for your inspiration!

I was planning to write this post for a long time

Elena is my very close friend, my model and now…my bride! Isn’t t it amazing to capture friend’s BIG Day? I am SOOOOO excited!!! No doubt that I also wish to be her bridesmaid and look for the gorgeous dresses with other girls….But to be a photographer it means much more for me!
Only one thing I worry about – when we visited one of the wedding dress salons, and Elena showed up in a stunning wedding gown ……my tears started to come out. 

 I need to bring a ton of tissues with me on their wedding…  My friends should be ready for this. 

By the  way, Elena started her blog, where she post all her experience as a “Bride to be”. So, if you are the bride, you should check it out!

Elena and Andrew on their friend’s wedding:
 

I am not sure if  it is easy to describe my photography style….What I know is I love to capture moments….moments of love, of laugh, of tears, of happiness, alive moments and then create a STORY.
Some of my photographs are classic and emotional; some pictures look modern spiced up with fashion on top. I love black and white. I love bright colors in my work and I like to use a natural light…Every couple is unique and very picture should reflex something from inside……
Today I would like to post some of my photographs from 2008 which are reflecting true live moments.
Enjoy…

 Last Friday Jon and Cindy were married at the gorgeous hotel “Mansion”. It was very beautiful intimate wedding.  Before Wedding Cindy showed us a photograph of her Grandmother & Grandfather’s wedding and asked that I shoot something similar of her and Jon. So we tried to capture most of their pictures in this retro style….

Jon & Cindy, thank you so much for allowing us to be a part of this DAY with you!
Here’s some favorites from this wedding:
