You can look at a picture for a week and NEVER think of it again. You can also look at the picture for a second and think of it ALL YOUR LIFE. ― Joan Miro
I don’t have a shiny story of how my photography journey began. I was born in Crimea to a family trying to make ends meet in a broken post-socialist economy. In my childhood I had white winters and mesmerizing fall foliage, but no place for dreams. I fell in love with photography not just because it allowed me to dream and grow, but also because of how it enriched me. I finally have something to give back to the world. And when we give, we truly live.
I strife to tell each story with beauty and elegance. I constantly search for good light, from getting ready, to portraits, to the candlelit reception of your dinner. I’m so passionate and excited when capturing the real moments of our couple’s journeys. Ten years of weddings and I’m still filled with passion and love for what I do. To document your journey would be an honor. Send me a note below and let’s adventure together!

Good days start with J.Crew blazers
Sisters are a girl's best friend
Travel is a lifestyle
Amalfi Coast should be on everyone's list
A nice watch completes every outfit
The world runs on cappuccinos
