Vitaly and Anna are a sensual couple from Kiev. This photo was specially made in the state of the autumn city. The bridge over the Dnieper River, the overcast sky, streams of rain - all this enhances the romantic mood of the newlyweds. Now the bride and groom warm their feelings, their love is stronger than any bad weather.
The mermaid bride... Out of the sea she arose and captured his heart.
For brides who want to feel like a mermaid on their wedding day, Playa Largo Resort offers a truly unique experience for couples to dive the shallow-water corals, shipwrecks and hidden treasures of the Florida Keys as they say, “I do.” Vows are exchanged on writing slates while fellow divers and witnesses look on. Before the newly married couple rises to the surface, they can anchor the roots of their new relationship by planting a coral reef fragment that will remain and continue to grow over the years, just like their marriage.
What could be better than running away? Running together in one direction with your loved one is great! Victor and Nadezhda are experiencing an incredible sense of absolute freedom and happiness. The newlyweds are inspired by their feelings, nothing can stop them!
Gemma and Richard High5'ing after at the end of their ceremony - don't worry, the kiss followed this!!! A beautiful Japanese setting in the heart of Gloucestershire, Matara is a venue that everyone should visit one day.
I met my husband at a stoplight ( literally). He chased me 20 miles down the road and I married him three months later. I tease him and tell him, I only stopped because we was driving a truck. I’m a pickup truck, cowboy hat kinda girl. When photographing this All American styled wedding, in my heart I knew they had to have a pickup truck so I called my friend and she brought one over. I’m kind of crazy like that. Passionate people live adventurous lives.
In the photo, the magnificent bride Dasha. Her grace can be compared to a flying seagull! The confidence and beauty of this girl is quite understandable. The love of Vyacheslav's fiance makes Dasha so beautiful!
We all had so much fun on this beautiful wedding day in September 2017 - this young girl caught the wedding bouquet and was so excited about it. With the sun from behind we created this beautiful and emotional photo.
Shooting in Indian monsoons is my favourite yet most challenging. The couple flew me down and themselves from different cities for their pre wedding and a v intimate beach side engagenent ceremony to Goa, a beach town of India. I kept praying to catch a beautiful sunset surely. The weather forecast showed monsoon showers through our stay. I yet didn't give up hope and prayed. The day of the shoot it rained all day and there was an over cast sky. Yet I kept shooting. When ever it stopped. Evening it began to clear out so we headed to the beach, just then dark clouds took over and it began to rain. Disappointed, we headed back to our rooms and changed. The couple had arrangements to make for their engagement so they left to do the same. I kept standing looking at the sky and praying for a miracle. Just then I saw a bit of sunlight show up . I immediately called the couples, we all ran towards the beach from our respective places just the way we were. There it was ...I witnessed the magical sky opening up to gorgeous colours. I positioned myself as per a frame I envisioned, instructed the couple on their spots and cued what I had it mind. All of it was happening in split seconds and minutes. It was a chaotic moment for me as a photographer to coordinate so much. Yet when the intention is strong the universe conspires. There we were all part of a magical moment, seizing it for ever. As the wise ones say " Magical moments keep happening all the time in the universe we just need to be present to appreciate and witness it , I was ! " :)
This couple were childhood sweethearts, falling in love with each other at 15 years old. Fast forward over a decade later the love between these two and the connection was a delight to document. This was the very first wedding to be held at this stunning location in Cornwall and I was the first photographer to capture the beautiful gardens and this couple in love on a truly memorable day and venue.
Who needs sunshine and spectacular landscapes for a wedding if you have the most stunning couple in love?
It was pouring down with cold rain, my hands we frozen but it was worth waiting and staying extra 4h to take this shot. Such a special day which ended this special way.
Since the day I met this lovely bride and groom (Eliza and Brendan) for the first time, I knew it's going to be an awesome wedding! This vintage themed wedding was celebrated in Yorke Peninsula, Adelaide. everything about this wedding was so beautiful, every little element created a wonderful vintage feeling. It's a wedding photographer's dream wedding. This photo was taken right after the ceremony! It was the magical hour, and the perfect time for the couple to celebrate with a drink, as Mr & Mrs. Mass! The rustic couch and smoke grenades made the photo pop!
I would like to thank Eliza & Brendan for having me as their wedding photographer!

I couldn't work out why this vintage car had a box attached to the side of it's boot until Phil & Izzy began to leave the car park of the Church - bubbles just started flying out of the back of it so I ran in close just before they pulled out and I managed to capture this image!
Throughout the speeches I had been keeping an eye on the sunlight, it was one of those days where there wasn't a cloud to be seen and the sky was a gorgeous vibrant blue. We only had a few minutes so I seized the opportunity and ran out with Sam & Scott. The location wasn't planned / thinking quickly I got down low and lined up the picture - as my lovely couple practiced their dance I fired off 2-3 pictures and we ran back in to do it for real.
I loved this organ inside the church. It was such a lovely backdrop for this couple, the light, the tubes and of course their adorable love for each other.
Nasty weather on a otherwise perfect day just asked for this picture to be made. So I just pulled this couple away for a moment from their reception.
Passionate couple, after a few hours of walking along the beach as the sun began to set i ask them to get close as i took out a long sheet of fabric two wrapped them up, the wind was strong and was not letting me wrap them. The sky was clear and i saw this simple elegant shot in mi mind, i let them simmer a bit in their closeness until he grabbed her leg and leaned in for the kiss a she pulled him a bit and BAM, best shot of the day.
When we first met Martin he was feeling a little under the weather and, on a particularly wet and miserable day was not in the mood for the pre wedding shoot. Like most people he was a little uncomfortable in front of the camera. Fast forward to the wedding (and a could of drinks for dutch courage) he wanted a picture with the lads....... unfortunately the lads stitched him up good and proper..!! They were, of course, all suppose to jump............... :-)
It is a daimyo-garden of Date Hidemune called Ten-sya-en of Uwajima which I often visit in photography of everyday work.
Uwajima is a castle town in Ehime prefecture of Shikoku district of Japan.
The shooting in this garden where visitors from abroad also come to visit is my life work.
This picture was taken on a sunny September afternoon in Valkenburg aan de Geul (The Netherlands). The houses in this city are made of a tipical kind of stone, which makes the picture look like it was taken in Italy.
I spent an afternoon with freshly engaged Chloe & Johnny in Bali. We shot this photo while taking a shortcut through the rice paddies to get to the beach.
