A few years ago I was in the same position as you!

I was about to get married and had no idea whom to hire to capture my day. I knew I wanted beautiful, but I couldn’t define it in words, and I just couldn’t find the right person to carry out my vision (mainly because I didn’t know it was analog photography that I desired). This is how my personal journey into wedding photography began. I was drawn to photos my grandparents had, I loved seeing the classic look and emotion translated from the little piece of paper straight into my heart. I wanted to do the same for everyone I met, and I began with a desire to learn analog photography. In the sea of photography styles, different editing, and personal touches, I knew there was something classic and timeless about film. Driven by the beauty of light in Texas, architecture of the old world, uniqueness of my home in Russia, I now shoot most of my personal work on film, emulating that same look in my commissioned work. I want to capture the beauty that light paints into a frame on your wedding day, the way old masters used to paint portraits onto a canvas - I want you to look back and feel everything all over again, the way you did when you married your best friend.

I am a constant learner as well, and being one I always discover something new about me, about my craft, and about the world around me. This also burned a fire within in me to teach my clients on how to get the best out of their photography. Inspired by fashion and design and all the knowledge I have gained thus far, I strive to educate my clients, help them, and of course look out for them when it comes to their wedding and portraits. I would love nothing more but sit down and learn about you - this will inspire me and ignite the fire that is so needed in photography. Contact me about doing a session with me if you feel like I am the right choice for you. I honestly can’t wait to meet you!
