Each pair - a clean sheet. Whatever the plan was like a wedding day to the next - it's always a new story. And it is a great responsibility and trust. In each shooting I reflect the city and the couple who photographs.
Matilde and Diogo are a Portuguese couple very in love with their city.
So they choose to give the knot on a very old chapel on the top of one of the seven hills of Lisbon, with this amazing view of the ancient part.
It was an engagement session of two loving hearts on the coast of the Black Sea, whose wedding will be in the nearest future.
For me the wedding is a planned and spontaneous event at the same time. There was a sea of love and it was a day with Oksana and Gleb in Prague. Lie down on the Charles Bridge or to climb onto the roof at Prague Castle - easy!
The expected, yet unexpected attack of the confetti. Rachel and Joe provided all their guests with this gorgeous real petal confetti, offered to all the guests by their beautiful flower girls. As the newlyweds left the church they were totally smothered in the colourful spray, this very moment really was as exciting as it looks.
When you are at the right place and at the right time pure magic happens in photography. As I caught a glimpse of the bride and groom arriving back to the luxurious Versace mansion in Miami, Fl from a third story window I knew I had to get out there. The car stopped in the middle of Ocean Ave and it was if time had just stopped. One quick click and I was able to freeze the moment at that time my client didn't even know what was happening. It's the ability to create a moment for people to have for the rest of their life that makes this job so amazing.
This photo was taken outside the beautiful St Mary’s Cathedral in Sydney, Australia. It was taken just after the ceremony and shows the pure joy of our bride and groom. In the bride’s words, this photograph captured “that moment when you realise you have just married your best friend”
The interior chosen by Monika and Wojtek for their wedding party was unusual - full of nooks and crannies, and tiny balconies which allowed quiet observation of the newlyweds. I have waited for this moment the whole evening. It was one of their last dances – delicate and calm, perfectly summing up that emotional day
We kicked off the fun at Trocadero in Paris, which in my opinion offers the most impactful perspective of the Eiffel Tower.In order to get this priceless silhouette backdrop, you and the couple need to meet at the Eiffel Tower immediately before the sun rises. In fact, if you wait too long, there will be no silhouette, plus other photographers, and floods of tourists buses will arrive.
We ask our couples to wear darkly fitted attire and (normally) wear their hair in a bun for optimal results. It is about harmonious interspacing as to let the sun penetrate the contours of their bodies.
For this photo, I had my associate tempt those hungry birds with some culinary treats, and then had the couple connect in a believable way. When I had the frame I wanted, I asked my associate to “scare” the birds away to get them to produce the movement you see in the photo.
This is a touching wedding of Catherine and Dmitry. Gorgeous silk dress was lighter than clouds. On that day, the wind helped us to make incredible shots.
This photo was taken at Baltschug Kempinski Hotel, Moscow. In the morning as I was going up to the library on the top floor, I noticed the rhythmical setting of the tables in the banquet room downstairs. When the bride and groom arrived, I asked them to dance there, and I myself stayed upstairs. My assistant had to lie under one of the tables to direct their dance because we were separated by seven floors. Long exposure made the bride’s train a perfect match for the rhythm of the tables.
Judith, from Germany, and Greig from Australia live in the UK and share a love of travel. The couple chose Portugal after falling in love with the culture, food and weather on a trip here.
There Venue was in the Pena Palace on the top of the Sintra hill, as we were going up there those lines and the game of light and shadows caught my eye. And we stopped for one second to do this picture
This photo was taken in a beautiful park in Banja Luka. Bride and groom wanted a photo with kids from relatives.
Bright leeps. Bright day. Bright personality. One Kiev`s wedding, with red accents.
The photo was made on the sunset. It was amazing wedding of two DJ's.
I never knew whether there will be a miracle at wedding and I'd want a magic frame. This photo is a reflection of the wedding of Maya and Nikita - the same unexpected, radiant and magical.
This is a story of Sophie & Tim, being professional sailors, both of them loves what they do, and that's how they met and one day Tim got down to one knee! And the story is to be continued...
This photo was taken outside the beautiful St Mary’s Cathedral in Sydney, Australia. It was taken just after the ceremony and shows the pure joy of our bride and groom. In the bride’s words, this photograph captured “that moment when you realise you have just married your best friend”.
I'm really enchanted by the atmosphere of the small restaurants of Wroclaw. Aneta and Pawel took me to a place full of lanterns, pumpkins, old wagon wheels and wicker baskets. It was closed-circle party, full of subtle, barely noticeable gestures. This is one of them
