Monica and Vitaliy E-Session in SF

Good evening,   yesterday we had a trip to Bay to photograph Monica and Vitaliy.  Monica found out about our company through a large wedding network site.   Their wedding will be here in Sac-to area. But they are living in San Fransisco and they want the inviation photos to be in their own town.  

Weather was PERFECT the whole day and evening.:)

Here is Vitaliy without glasses.  I tried to be very careful with them when I took them away because I’ve heard they were pretty expensive:)

After the photo-shoot, we went to Starbucks.   Well, technically we’ve been at two different places, we were sitting at one coffee place waiting for sunset, and after sunset we went to another coffee place.  But anyway on the way home I offered Monica and Vitaliy to stop at Down town for extra 15 minutes shoot.   My goal was
to build a theme of SF at night.

Here is one of the images.  I used slower stutter speed to show car movement to give this image more energy

Katie 5×7 card on Perl Paper

 Today Oksana photographed Katie who is going to be 2 years old in 2 weeks.   Katie was running around so much that it was very challenging.

 However, there are a lot of nice shoots.  We decided to print this photo on Folded 5×7 cards on Perl Paper with UV coating   That’s one of most expensive finishes that studio offers.

Our son Mike as ring boy

For the last 2 weeks, we’ve been in 4 weddings.   On two of them Oksana and I were photographers.   On one of them I was a videographer.  Videography is not my profession, but I have experience with professional video camera’s both videotaping and being behind mixer, so I was very comfortable to videotape wedding.   
On our last wedding, we were invited as guests.  And it was so much fun to just sit, relax and enjoy beautiful weather.  Now days weather is perfect.

Here is our last wedding were my son Mike is a ring boy.  He was so worrying on the way to wedding.   I asked him if he was nervous and he said  “Yea a lot”.  So he took this very seriously.

This time I want to concentrate on Details.   Most of the time both on Blog and website we post “portraits” or Bride, groom or wedding party.  However beside portraits we capture a lot of details because they are so important. 

Here is example of some details in the early part of the morning.
