At the end of September, I photographed the wedding of two wonderful people, Marina and Michael. The day was delightfully warm, the feeling was fantastic, and the pair had terrific attitude. There was no rush, no one was nervous. We had time to do everything we planned. I worked with an assistant and a videographer. As always, there was a thorough preparation for this photosession: the bride sent me pictures of the park (where session would be taking place) in advance, various kinds of photos were discussed, including not only ideas, but also the execution. The session itself was joyous and easy with this pair; there was a feeling of great collaboration. Here are some edited photos to look at.

One of the best ways to ensure safe-keeping and sharing of memories through your favorite photos is the use of the slide-show. With time, regular photos can get cramped, torn, and even lost. Besides, there are typically too many photos in an album, or on a disk, when all you want is to look at and show others those that are the most interesting. Professionally-made slide-show presents photos on an entirely new level. Carefully selected music, visual effects, the transitions, and the use of video, significantly enhance the impression of the viewing process of your favorite photos. Today, many newly-weds chose slide-show to share photos from their childhood, or the prewedding photos, at the time guests arrive, or at the actual reception. Moreover, slide-show of the wedding can be a perfect idea to share with others at birthday parties, get-togethers with friends and family, and other events. There are numerous types of photo software, at different levels of complexity, that are available in today’s market…it seems like, “what is so unusual about putting together the slide-show from a bunch of digital pictures? Just follow program’s prompts and that’s all!” The truth is, however, the process of manufacturing a professional slide-show, including use of animation, transitions that are carefully selected to match the rhythm of music, the editing of photos (retouching, special effects, collages, etc.), requires special skills and a tremendous amount of time. We have years of experience in creating dazzling and memorable slide-shows, which will make your hearts melt with pleasant memories, as well as amuse you. You will definitely not have to worry that your slide-show will come across as boring, repetitive, monotone, and primitive! Our slide-shows are not the simple change of slides with back-ground music and primitive effects. What we offer you is a complex, and therefore, fascinating composition of varied takes, multiple 3D effects, flawless transition of photos that falls perfectly with the rhythm of carefully selected music, and much, much more. It is truly our pleasure to fulfill any of your wishes, regardless of how complex they might be, be it a wedding, a birthday, or any other celebration. Please take a look at our work:

As a reminder, we are still inviting handsome guys and beautiful ladies, ages 18-35, to

try out as models. In exchange for your time, you will receive beautiful photos and lots

of positive feelings from a photo session.

If you sometimes take a peek in fashion magazines, wedding catalogues, or look at advertisement posters, then you must be noticing that all models wear professional makeup and have gorgeous features. All imageshave perfect lightening, as well as posing of people, or inanimate objects in focus… I believe it won’t be a surprise to you that aside from excellent photographers, such photos are also being worked on by talented graphic designers. Often, digital editing of what seems like a good shot takes more time than the actual photo session. In this instance, wedding photos do not differ from advertisement photos. The difference, however, is that for fashion magazines, only one most successful shot is chosen, but in wedding photography, we must edit hundreds, or even thousands of photos… 

There can be a number of reasons. For instance, (regretfully, one of the most common causes) bride’s quality of makeup. The mistakes of a makeup artist become particularly apparent in close-up photos (faces shot ata close range). Besides, we are shooting under varied, and often not the most desirable light. At times, undesirable details, which can ruin a good shot, fall into the picture…not to mention the complexity of various effects: black and white, sepia, etc. Informally, editing can be divided into requisite and optional.  Requisite editing of wedding photos includes, color and light editing, cropping and retouching. Optional editing is that of various special effects (toning of photos, frames, etc.). The most complex and time-consuming process is the requisite editing. Regardless of the fact that in the past, photography was done on film, where each shot counted because digital editing did not exist, the requisite editing is absolutely necessary. Moreover, we edit photos even for those clients who order photos on disc only (without a photo album). This type of work takes up a massive time. Frequently, to edit photos of one wedding, takes two full business days! Now, hopefully, you understand why the work of a good photographer is not cheap. What counts is not only work of a photographer and assistant on a wedding day, but also the follow-process of editing and preparing photos for printing.  Next step: retouching of photo and any additional effects that may not be included in the price of a photo session, and may cost additional fees. This work is highly detailed and consuming. Below, you may view examples of different types of photo editing.
