Finding a connection and great understanding with each of our wonderful clients is immensely important to us. From the time we first meet, and throughout our relationship, we consider it our goal to get to know you. We feel that the stronger the connection there is between us - the greater the photographs are going to turn out.

Each of you has a particular style and vision for your big day and we appreciate the opportunity to be let into your lives. It’s because of this that we are so thrilled to find out what you think of working with us.

This is a card we just received from Alison and David. Thanks for this sweet note!

It was Dasha’s 1st birthday this Thursday. I cannot believe that she has already turned one! Time just flies… She’s a big girl by now, has a ponytail, 4 teeth and can walk pretty confidently (especially when there’s no wind :)

I cannot wait to see her this fall when I’ll go back home for a visit! I intend to spoil her completely and take a ton of pictures!!!

Here are a few pictures taken by my mom, who has been learning a lot throughout last year and got to be much more serious about photography:

My mom is great at using props for Dasha’s photos:

I just love the energy of this shot:

Elly and Boris were wed just one week after Svetlana and Alex at the Congregation Beth Am. This beautiful day started at the Elizabeth Gamble Gardens in Palo Alto where we took photos of the bridal party. These gardens are simply amazing: there was everything from blooming flowers to cucumbers and sunflowers. We had a great time exploring this area and finding some nice backgrounds and scenes for the shots.

The outdoor ceremony at Beth Am had plenty of amazing moments to be captured:

The reception was chock full of dancing, celebration, toasts, and a much happiness shared amongst everyone:

This belly dancer was just wowing the entire audience:

We were very happy to celebrate with you, Elly and Boris! I hope your honeymoon to Costa Rica was incredible :)

We are currently still in LA and just came back from an amazing wedding yesterday in Beverly Hills. The plan is to spend another day relaxing and checking out the local attractions here in So Cal and we should be back in town on Wednesday night. So this blog post is coming to you from the road….

A couple of weeks ago we drove to Los Altos for the wedding of Svetlana & Alex. Their celebration took place in Congregation Beth Am. This wedding had a wonderful theme of tango: starting with the ceremony, when they danced under the Chuppah, and continuing throughout the reception where at some point it seemed that all of the guests were dancing tango at the same time.

Here are a few of our favorites:

The reception was full of touching and creative toasts. There were theatrical sketches, singing, and a whole variety of performances.

We loved that at the beginning of the reception Svetlana changed into a cool outfit which was more appropriate for dancing. Her hairpiece was so cool that we couldn’t resist to steal the bride for a few photos during the reception.

It’s always very nice for us to see familiar faces at the weddings we shoot. At this wedding we were happy to see a few of our friends and even one of our past brides and grooms from this spring. Thanks for referring us, Greg and Olga!

Congratulations Svetlana and Alex! Thank you for inviting us to share your day!
