Sacramento Bay Area Wedding Photography : Andrey Perepelitsa » Contemporary, lifestyle images for people who are in love! by MC Studios

Hello everyone.  Here is Nik and Ira wedding. 

Nik and Ira’s wedding was Saturday 8-9-08.  Last year Max asked me to photograph Intersection music group.   If you have followed this blog for a while
you probably saw those pictures.  Anyway Nik plays in Intersection group.   And that’s how he learned about our photography service.  

I have to tell you because INTERSECTION group had so much fun during photoshoot, they started to refer us:).   And we already photographed couple weddings because guys spread good word about us.   So thanks guys:)   Also at Christmas night party 2007 we settled up studio and photographed about 175 people and Nick and Ira were there, so when Nik called to set up showing to view our weddings albums, by that time we  knew each other well.   

Very fun couple.  Easy to work with.  I have to say:  Girls did good job!, they were not late, because usually we ran behind and most of the time it is because  girls take way too much time to get ready.   Well I don’t want to be judgemental:), it’s normal for girls kind of cute I guess.   But whenever everyone is ontime I’m pleasently shocked!..   

Do guys ever take too much time to get ready?  Uhh. NO, but sometimes for guys it takes more than 10 minutes to get ready.   What happens is guys can’t find their STUFF so they wonder around hotel or wheneve they are getting ready looking for their stuff.
With the guys it’s usually like this:

Did anyone see my shoes?
“NO”  
“All right I found them!”
“What are you talking about those are my shoes.. dude look at the size see “10″.. keep looking buddy”
“Oh yea.. sorry, did anybody see my shoes!?”

With girls it’s different talk.  But usually I’m the one who tells them to be faster (hurry up) if they are really
dragging time, and this happens often.   Am I mean to girls?  NO I need to make sure they are in good mood
so we can have lots of fun later on.   

Nik and Ira payed attension during appotment when we talk about whole wedding schedule and girls got ready
on time.

OK here shock statement.  What time did girls got up?   2:00 am.  That’s when they started to got ready.  I tell you guys
I fell asleep Friday before wedding at 1:30 am because Friday night I always take a lot of time to get ready for Saturday, and before I fell asleep
girls were up getting ready!:)  Wow!  

This happens when wedding start early.   I do have weddings that start 4:00 pm so girls get up 7:00 or 8:00 am.    

Here is fiew portraits from the wedding.

Hello everyone.  We just came back from 7 days family trip to Cancun.   There was 14 of us.  

We stayed at “all inclusive hotel”   called: Oasis Viva Beach

Here is the photo I found off the Internet.  Awesome picture (not taken by me).  This is just to show you beautiful green water.

 Here is the image that I took from our hotel room (10th story).   I really love the hotel next to us that was painted in
orange, yellow and red, unlike our hotel that Valera called “hospital” because it’s all white:).

Oksana with kids. 

Some people asked me to put up my personal pictures of family, so there you go:)  This are my kids
Mike 7 and Christina (almost 3).

At evening time we had a free show (all inclusive). 

Flight:  Before I wrote a post RE flight some tips were:
A) Listen to music
B) Do not look out of the window
C) Do not check time often
This time I’ll add one more tip:
D) I also realized that airplane pillows are very small and chances that you’ll get one are very little.  So bring along sweater, because it’s very hard to relax against plastic window.  But sweater can be used as a pillow.    I used it and it helped so much!

Cancun:
Water and beach looks awesome!
Water temperature both in ocean and in pool mid 80′s  (way too warm) even too much.  
Foodwas included in our package.  Our hotel  did have 6 free restaurants:
1. Sushi-bar
2. Buffet
3. Italian restaurant
4. Mexican restaurant
5. American restaurant
6. Sea food restaurant

All drinks were unlimited as well, so people were drinking:( .    What amazed me is that kids grabed Pina Colada all the time.  In fact in buffet Corona Extra was right next to soda machine, so kids came poor beer and no one told them anything..:) 14 year old boys walked up to the bar ordered margarita..  no problem… 
   

Over all it was nice but waitresses in our place were kind of lazy.  Many people are not happy with service quality.    But we didn’t have to spend money on car (bus is only $0.65 one way) and our total spending amount was $35.  Usually we have spend at least $1,000 on top of everything, but not this time)
