In a picturesque place of Ukraine. Happy bride Catherine, flying in the arms of Vasily manly. Dramatic sunset and texture of the trees created the atmosphere of beautiful fairy tale with a happy ending!
The weather is hot, were at the lowest point but still worthy, specially after hearing from the bride that they had one of the best unexpected experience ever. These two had enough passion and courage to get dressed for a shooting session before their big day.
People from Vancouver will understand the amount of rain we get is ridiculous! So we are lucky to have a little cloudy break in the afternoon to come to the University of British Columbia, where the couple went to school. They stood in the middle of the rose garden, snap! A beautiful combination of the over casting clouds, mountain and ocean views, a little bit of blooming roses and of course the lovely couple!
I shot this photo near Pollachi, Tamil Nadu, India. It is a very well know spot for the locals. We were there from early evening, getting a few shots and finally when the sun went down, I set everything up to get this shot that I always wanted to make! The lovely couple, Nivi & Sriram had to hold still for a few seconds, which they did with ease!
Beautiful young couple Jacob and Christina. Their wedding pictures have traditional Ukrainian elements: a white dress and a wreath of flowers on the bride's head.
One of my favorite weddings. The couple are my friends and i love photographing my friends. We were for some shots in a beautiful location below there and I asked if the couple wants to go to a magical place to close a wonderful day. So we went to the rocks of Meteora in central Greece, one of the most beautiful places in our country. I told them that we will do a risky shot and should be very careful. Vangelis the groom was very worried but convince him with Evi the bride to stand at the edge of this rock. I ran quickly to a higher place to take the picture. I just told them that looks great, the groom got her close for a kiss and... CLICK!
Molí del Duc; an old flour mill transformed into an opened site for celebrations. It is the place where this young couple , Jordi and Raquel, decide to unite their lives . A brilliant result for a couple that shines.
We were almost to the end of our photoshoot with Sheldon and Justina, when, they pulled out their wish lantern and wanted to get a few shots of them releasing it into the evening sky. I had never shot anyone with a wish lantern before, so me it was completely new.
As soon as their lantern was almost ready to release I asked the couple to gently lean in for a kiss under the lantern, and whoa, that's the result I got was amazing, the background sky looked just like a painting to me and created such a romantic moment for the two of them, with the play of the light and shadow.
This photograph was captured in the village in Portugal. We took advantage of the last rays of light to create that romantic atmosphere that enveloped them.
Knowing the bride and groom well is always an added value to your work, They push you to see from a different perspective, the amazing couple gave me the right perspective in this shot.
Venues and our local historic building, The Hycroft Manor is just lovely. Not just the building itself but also the plantation around it! We were luck to have found this set of stairs under the two over shadowing trees. Under these trees the couple kissed and it is beautiful!
This photo was shot in a Tea Estate in Kotagiri, which is near the Queen of Hills in Tamil Nadu, India. The golden hour pictures are always beautiful and I must say that Sowmi an Shiv made my experience even more memorable. The sun was so bright when it came out! It was the brightest golden hour that I've experienced so far!. I set my frame and I asked the groom to take her hand and walk down. Nailed it in the first shot itself!
Between beautiful ancient olive trees, ancient Roman ruins, the beauty of a breathtaking sunset, this has inspired the photo of this marriage in Squillace of Giusi and Antonio.
Thank you to the bridegrooms, in particular the bride that despite the dress, barefoot, she has succeeded to climb the stones; the award it is above all your.
Best part of being a photographer is capturing love stories and expressions of people's feelings of their true love. This stunning couple is someone I will never forget. They are a match made like no other! So passion and their love for each other is absolutely irresistible! We took this photo in my hometown in one of my favorite locations, Whatcom Falls Park. I've always wanted to do an engagement session here and this couple was perfect for everything I have ever envisioned!
When we organized this session in Paris with Agnes and Jonathan, Agnes who’s also wedding photographer, asked me if I could build a few images with slow shutter, like I did with bikers or peoples in the street on other pictures I shared on my blog. Since we were in Paris, I thought to the subway and she said me that there was a subway station who was more pretty than others. So we went in and I asked them to make hugs on the subway platform. Then I went on the other side of the railway and we waited for the train. I had prepared my camera and now I had to be on the good height to capture them trough the train’s windows… I shot several time with high cadence and when the subway stopped, I found this picture that I was glad to offer them.
This picture is taken in Oye-Oersta in the west coast of Norway Actually, this was taken after our photoshoot. We took some pictures of the bride and groom standing both beside and inside the wedding car. We were on our way to the Union Hotel where the celebration was taking place- and the bride just laughed at me while she pinched the groom. A in the moment shot that radiates love and happiness.
This photo was taken in Hawaii, with Celeste and Peter. These two snuck away to Hawaii where they used to live, and got married secretly. We spent ten days adventuring around Hawaii shooting them. This was taken under a popular Banyan tree on a hike we went on.
Caroline & Jafet have the kind of love for each other that standard human eyes just can't hide. And when they look at each other it's an explosion we can only really catch a glimpse of with how he holds and kisses her. I took this photograph in Salinas, Baní, Dominican Republic. I'm so moved by this photo because it was a very spontaneous moment and this is precisely what I aim at. There, in the stillness of the day, at a side of the sky, the sun testified to their love. My favorite part of this photo is probably that they're not surrounded by too many elements. Here it's just them, alone and with no noise around them.
The location happens to be one of the beaches in Mangalore, beautiful coastal city in Karnataka (India). A home to lush greenery.
with a motley of interesting people. The plan was to shoot at twilight during sunset (my personal favourites), however due to time constraints, we arrived at 3:00pm.
The light was very harsh however I loved the colour of the sand and its texture. While pondering over what best i could offer with current circumstances, I happened to notice the shadow looking down.And there it was “the shadows” appearing larger than life which reflected joy and happiness.
The photo was shot on ceremony outside the city, in the suburban hotel. We always shoot weddings together and I was able to leave the main photos on Kira. At the ceremony, I run as far as possible to make a shot. Then I saw a man who prepares champagne glasses slides. I run up to him and asked him to make a few shots in a pile of glasses champagne. I made a few shots. One of them you see now.
I also want to thank Alena and Roma that they are so sensual and truly happy in this day, it was a pleasure to capture moments of happiness!
