This photograph shows a very beautiful couple. Dmitry and Elena dance their wedding dance. Location around symbolizes the fact that life not only consists of the holidays. The couple will be a lot of work, but in the future, the fortress will become really cozy and beautiful! After all, they are full of determination and energy! Dmitry and Elena dearly love each other, they will overcome all difficulties and fulfill their dreams!
The bride and groom has wanted a photograph in front of their wedding venue, Knowsley Hall in Cheshire, and rather than take this during the day I thought it would be better to wait until after sunset for a more dramatic shot. This was the last photograph I took at the wedding and also my favourite!

In the frame the couple from Odessa Elena and Dmitry. It was a great day! nature has done us an incredible gift in the form of a massive white clouds. Of course, we did not hesitate to found a spacious place and photographed a gentle kiss on the newlyweds. The love is the same boundless as it is a beautiful sky!
Once the vending guests had arrived, we decided to go off and take the bride and groom portraits. It didn’t take long to find these stunning corridors just out side of the venue. I knew that the orange and blue lights would make a perfect setting for a nice romantic moment.
This photograph was taken at Sandhole Oak Barn in Cheshire, UK. The barn was lit up with hundreds of fairy lights all over the ceiling and walls and looked amazing. I lit the couple from behind and experimented with shooting through different things to get this effect - which was all achieved in camera. This was the last photograph I took at the wedding.
This couple was a special one. Everything was prepared for their wedding. They are a very young couple and spent much of the dating time on the beach. The wedding was scheduled for early 2016 when they became pregnant, requiring advance the date in 7 months so they could get married before the baby is born and belly grow too much. They were married at her parent's home in Teresopolis, but decided to make the trash the dress at the beach Grande, Arraial does Cabo, off the coast of Rio de Janeiro. It was a very beautiful and happy day, with everybody very happy by the union of the couple and the baby who was to come.
This photo was taken at the Lincoln center in Ft Collins, Colorado. We had and extremely hot day with temperatures reaching 100 degrees.Our bride and groom were amazing and never complained. The back side of the building was covered with some kind of vegetation and was also in the shade except for a splash of sun. It made a perfect backdrop for this dramatic photo.
The photo was taken in the florin neighborhood in tel Aviv, and it's in the south part. I love this photo because of the beautiful color and depth of view. You can feel the neighborhood - it's also the area where the couple lives. :)
This is a picture from an industrial zone which is very modern. The building is like a shape and it is ful of glasses. That is why it looks like a mirror. This picture is a picture of Aritz & Amaine's wedding. We all enjoyed a lot with them.
I heard it long before I saw it. The infectious giggle of a little person carried across the field where I was shooting, I turned the corner to find this dude being propelled high into the sky, laughing and chattering as he sailed through the air.
Purgatory – a mountain gorge, one of the wonders of nature in Ukraine. In the XII century, there was an ancient monastery. Whoever dares to pass through a very narrow gap between two steep rocks, he is purified from all previous sins! It was made during his honeymoon Pavel and Ekaterina. The presence in such a Holy place – the best start for a new stage in the life of newlyweds. Now their life is a white sheet of paper, and only they decide what to write...
I saw the stunning sunset break through the clouds and scouted around the back of the venue to try and find a clearing to be able to get a portrait shot in the golden light. I stumbled across an amazing field and excitedly hurried back to see if the bride and groom (Natalie & Scott) would be up for crossing the muddy field with me. They were both totally on board, Natalie put on her 'wedding wellies' and we were off on an adventure hopping fences and puddles.... Legends.
Carmine and Tito are Italian same-sex couple who came to New York City to have their destination wedding. This shot was taken while we were shooting under the Brooklyn Bridge. The couple and their friends were so energetic and passionate, we wanted to have some fun moments added to the wedding shoot, so they did this posed jumping, what a great moment!
We had just finished with all of our 'after ceremony photos' and we were heading up to the cocktail hour to rejoin the guests. When we walked around the side of the building, the sunset light came flooding through the trees. The groom turned and kissed the bride, ever so sweetly, and I snapped a couple impromptu photos. Sometimes the accidental shots are the most beautiful.
A stunning venue in the English countryside, cloudless blue skies & a totally gorgeous couple. Hell yeah! Karina & Jamie have a deep connection & I wanted to capture that inner glow they both had just after the ceremony. I asked them to hold onto each other & take a moment to think about what getting married meant for them…. and this is what I saw.
After seeing the couples stunning venue at the London Barbican Conservatory, I knew it would be tough to try and show the sheer awesomeness of their venue. After looking for a higher vantage point I noticed I could place the couple on the balcony and get most of the venue into the image. I decided to shoot with a wide angle lens to show how big the venue is.
I always enjoy shooting portraits in silhouette and this one, taken in Formby in the UK, is one of my favourites. I tried to find a location where the couple could be very small in relation to the huge trees and also look for symmetry in the composition. Once I found the location I just waited for the couple to do something cool, which they did!
Ben and Vicky love to travel the world together but for their wedding day came back to their UK home. They had a beautiful relaxed family celebration surrounded by the rolling countryside of the Welsh borders. This old railway bridge was the perfect place to make the most of the sunlight as it filtered through the trees. I loved this quiet moment they shared on this gorgeous day.
This photo was taken during a pre-shoot at a destination wedding in Virgin Gorda. I spotted the location on Google Earth before arriving and I knew immediately I wanted to use it. It's an abandoned copper mine. My initial thought was to back light the couple but I didn't like it as much as this one, they just didn't stand out enough. I quickly asked my assistant to hide behind the foliage on the left with a gridded Profoto B2. I added one more light to my front left to help bring out the foliage even more. I think it helps to enhance the leading line to the couple framed in the doorway.
