Dima and Ira's wedding was a very unique and extraordinary day. Their wedding day was the first day of a huge protest against the new elections in Moldova with up to 10,000 protestors in the center of the city, but it didn't stop the love they had for each other on their special day. i want to thank you both for allowing me the privilege to photograph your special day, here are just a few favorites from the day, and day after as well as the video preview from the day :)

Thanks again for the amazing days! and sorry for the huge post!

Last Friday, Vanya asked me to come to a local studio where he was making a promo video for his videography, with 2 brides. Anna with Radik - who is also a motion designer, and Ghena and Lucia. Here are some photos of the guys at work:

Whilst Vanya and Radik where filming Lucia, I and another photographer Fedya, had a few moments to grab a few inside and outside shots of Anna:

and then a few of Ghena and Lucia while the guys where filming:

After the Studio Session, we went out of the city with Ghena and Lucia to get a few night shots. We used Ghena's car for lighting and a small flashlight which me and Fedya took turns to use. It was pretty difficult due to the strong comparison between both lights and the limited tools we had, as the session just popped up as an idea at the studio :) but hopefully you guys like the shots, so here they are:

Just of Lucia infront of the lights.

The flash light doing a good job:

Thanks again to Vanya for inviting me to come along, and to Anna, and especially Ghena and Lucia for the aftersession, it was a lot of fun, and I can't wait till your wedding in June!

It's always interesting and fun to meet new people. This weekend I had possibility to meet Paul and Anya, a beautiful and extraordinary couple and take their engagement pictures. I am also looking forward to take pictures on their wedding day which will be in couple of months.

Today was another great day, after getting plans ready for Floshops, and working with clients for Flosites, and meeting 2 uber talented photographers "Ken Mckay and Neil Genower", I had another great opportunity to go into the center of London, but this time to the south bank to take photos with Leon. This time we started at Covent Garden, St. Paul's Cathedral and then made our way towards the tower of London, before returning home again.

Be warned, lots of photos! :) St. Paul's Cathedral

taken with the 17-40 L wide angle.

I couldn't help but take a photo of the ornament in this window, it was really cool.

Milennium Bridge: If you look closely on the right photo, you may be able to see a plane in the sky!

We always seem to bump into other photography enthusiasts :)

On the way to Tower Bridge...

On the way, we found this really wicked blue lit tunnel:

Tower Bridge:

Abstract Buildings:

On the way home...

Finally... i thought this tunnel was cool, there were several however this one just caught my attention, every street in this area are just orange lit, and it really gives us a great rich tone.

Hope you enjoyed the long post of images!

Ross.
