Place in Russia
Each wedding is unique. Each wedding has an individual approach and it has its own history, which should be treated as something completely new. Wedding Day is a kind of a starting point. It's the beginning of a new relationship. I've known Oksana and Alexei for several years. We met occasionally at their friends' wedding I photofraphed. During that time we exchanged mutual trust, which is, in my opinion, the most important thing between a couple and a photographer. The wedding style was so precise and harmonious with their inner world, which made it more simple. Location of the shooting was not chosen by accident. Oksana and Alexei are very athletic guys, and I wanted to emphasize their athletic grace with intricate lines of the interior of one of the most beautiful hotels in Moscow. Rich interior highlights their rich inner world. I asked them to move a little to the rhythm of the dance, to look each other in the eye and talk with their eyes. They began to move looking into each other's eyes. Suddenly, at some point, Alex tilted Oksana and I had only not to miss that emotional moment.
