Stevlana+Valeriy_wedding 2.14.2009
Hello Bloggers. I’m uploading first 2 images from Stevtlana and Valeriy wedding and going to bed. I have a LOT of images to Blog, more than ever,
) but I really want to withdraw my self from Photo shop for a few days:)..
Same photo converted to BW
Guys I wanted to share the excitement and say I have finished all wedding photos post production. In other words there are no pending work (for picture editing).
I will send out DVD’s to my January and February couples tomorrow morning! The reason why I’m so exited is because, you have no idea how this weight of “post production feels”. I have 3 weeks until my next wedding and for the last year I never had a day where didn’t have to photoshop or take photos. I do have to take photos of E-sessions etc.. but I never thought that this day will come.
YES I had wedding this last Saturday 02.14.2009 and I haven’t Blogged.
photos YET, But all 3,400 images has been processed.
My wife Oksana is still working on album design(s) and we still have about 5 albums in post production, but 2 out of 5 are getting finished shortly as well.
Today Friday I finally had a very relaxed day. So I was cleaning up my office and found Tungsten T3 organizer that I no longer use, and decided to take few photos to post it on Ebay and Christina walked in to my home office telling me something, so I took few photos of her:)
Good evening everyone. Here is card that we have ordered today. Again card with be on this awesome finish. It’ll look and feel very expansive:).
Tomorrow Saturday there is wedding, so YES New wedding photos are coming. Also several weeks ago I have pretty interesting photo shoot with DND Hair Studio that I should blog. DND Hair Studio project took me several hrs. There is about 1,000 images and I’ll try to share/blog that project next week.
Before you guys start watching this video, I just wanted to say that “I love the way my wife drives” Girls are very carefull. But never the less…
For my wife the funniest part was when this “girl” was parking the car forever and guy came out and actually parked it for her.
I was laughing the hardest when this girl was trying to gas up BMW.
Good afternoon everyone. Here is one image from today’s E-session. Even thou it was raining whole week
CA needs lots of rain, afternoon was partly sunny. Irina’s fiance is all of way from Germany all thou they know each other for a very long time.
Do you know guys what I noticed? There is always (most of the time some kind of strong similarity) between couples. For examples at one point I had 3 couples and they all were from the same Church 3 weddings in a row. Other times I would get several couples where grooms or brides parents couldn’t be at the wedding because they live over sees.
Right after I meet with Ira and Johann (for wedding consultation appointment) I received a phone call from bride who said “I would like to schedule appointment with you and my fiance is from Germany. At that point I thought, “uhh.. didn’t we meet already recently?” Turns out it’s another couple.
Oh yes there is one similarity that I really don’t like. When 3 or 4 couples and their wedding day is the SAME for all of them! just hate that:))))…
Good night.
Good morning everyone! As you can see lately I have decided to post many images of actual products that
we order and give to our clients.
*********************
I believe that most of our Blog posts are created in evening time. However this morning was special. I’m finishing up invitation design for Anna+Roman and decided to share it with you. It’s not 100% finished because Bible verse has to be added.
Above is the design collage that we’ll print 5×5 size. Sometimes we print design on Professional photo paper, other times on expansive Perl finish or watercolor based finish. Looks and feels awesome. Like fine art.
How does actual invitation looks like?. Here is for example of Anna and Roman invitations. At this point
I have 5 boxes that are sitting in my studio. However there will be 6 boxes all together.
*************
(By the way this week I have shipment of 4 wedding albums! I will probably post album photos as well (no promises) but there are interesting stories there as well.
So If you would of schedule wedding consultation with us this week, you would be able to view over 9 different wedding albums! (All of the albums were picked up with 3 business days after arrival.
***************************
Going back to invitation cards that I’m working on. Why so many boxes? Well there is going
to be 6 boxes all together! Let me show you all pieces that are part of this invitations.
1st BOX Above image is “main card” with text. It’ll go together with 5×5 photo print above (the very first image)
design collage.
2nd and 3rd boxes ENVELOPES
4th BOX Response cards (evertying has this nice contemporary rippled edge).
5th BOX Smaller envelopes for response cards. (The reason why response card in the back of this image
looks bigger than envelope, is because they folds in half. They have nice scoring in the middle
for ease of folding.
Also many times we insert tissue that separates invitation main card with photo. So that’s
why there are so many boxes:).
6th Box 5×5 Design Print (first image at this blog).
Good afternoon everyone. Here is E-session Viktor+Nadia from January. I have to say that I have to Blog one more E-session that goes back to year 2008. I keep getting asked question. “Andrey, how come you didn’t post last month photo shoot of us?“ And answer is I do not post quote a few photoshoots.
*****************
As you can see Viktor and Nadia are having fun. What a beautiful day it was. Weather that day was perfect. Mid 60′s with with sun, felt not too cold nor too worm.
Viktor and Nadia and I had brief discussion for me to come and photograph their wedding that will take place in Illinois. But this might not work out for them. It’s definitely going to be pressure on me as well. Because in April and May and Jule 2009 we have lots of destination weddings.
Just in 3 month alone will travel to photograph weddings in:
*Washington,
*Philadelphia
*North Carolina,
*Minnesota,
*New York
and other destination places. Very very exited to travel and put my energy into wedding photoshoots. But I did DECLINE all recent OUT OF STATE weddings that will take in Summer 2009. Our new policy is to take 1 destination (outside) wedding per month. Northern CA is EXEPTION.
