Recently Lesya has been doing more and more of the portrait work at You+We while I focus more on weddings, which is great because she has a real talent for it, and shes great with working with people. A few days ago she went to the park with the girls to take their photos, here are just a few of the favorites!

Its great to be able to have so many great clients, this time I had the opportunity of having a You + We session with Vita.

We had so much fun with Vita, she has an amazing personality and she just got back for a short while from France where she lives and studies. Here are some of my favorites from the photo session.

The Dolce Vita Catwalk!

and my favorite from the day :)

In the beginning of August I had a pleasure to take some pictures of Vladimir & Lilya Petrashishin, and their beautiful kids Elveera and Edward.

Even if those two gorgeous ladyies Veronica and Danielle arent real brides, they still looked amazing! that was kind of a rehearsal for their future real ttd, and for me - I got beautiful models, a great deal =) I hope you enjoy the pictures, mind you, that was my first trash the dress session! so theres plenty more to come... :)

Thanks for looking :)

Sorry for the long delay in posting up new work, its been crazy busy here and in a good way! We have finally just caught up, and here are the images from Yana and Dimas TTD session a week after their wedding. They were a super couple to be with and ALOT of fun! Enjoy the photos, theres alot of them!

Sorry for such a long post! we just loved the images so much! :)

2nd of August - beautiful, fascinating and a gorgeous day, which Dima and Alina will remember for the rest of their lives.....lives together! It was a day when two of my good friends, with whom I've been studying with in Fresno Pacific University became one family. It was a huge pleasure and an honor to captureall of the one million dollar moments of their love and happiness together. I would like to say a special thanks to Chris Stewart, with whom I had privilege to shoot with at the wedding.

Its always a pleasure to take photos for your friends, but when its for their wedding also its the biggest honor a photographer can have to be chosen. Both Yana and Dima share a love deeper than words, for some couples its the expressions and how they look at each other that tell the real story. Dimas Yanas hero and pillar of strength and its clear to see.

It was a great day, very sunny and as usual for the summers here in Ukraine very warm. We left Yanas house to go to the church for the ceremony and then to Dimas house for the government ceremony which is a tradition to do on the same day or as near to it here. After we had some time to go and get some photos with the couple in local vineyards and in Yanas huge garden.

The reception was placed in a picturesque area with vineyards all around it, the insides where exquisite and the best thing was the chocolate fountain! I cant help but loving them!

Here are a few photos from the whole day. From myself, Sasha and Lesya we want to wish your new family every blessing for the start of your new future together.

You + We.
