E-session Maan+Paul

03.31.10 Posted in E-Sessions, Video

This weekend we had opportunity to photograph Maan and Paul wedding in SF. When I was driving to SF I remembered
that Alex @ Shiksastudio.com is videographer who will be at Maan’s and Paul wedding so I called Alex to see if he wants to
help me out. Because Alex was short distance away he agreed (lucky me). So we had a blest time and Alex and Diana managed
to help me as well as shoot video for “Save the Date” that we didn’t really plan until the last minute.

Maan and Paul were extremely nice and lovely couple. The reason why we choose SF beach over looking Golden Gate for E-session is
because Paul proposed to Maan when they were flying in helicopter, and at the moment where helicopter flew over Golden Gate bridge Paul
purposed to Maans. So it was very important for us to incorporate Golden Gate Bridge. I’ll post shoots with Golden Gate bridge later on.

We really want to THANK MAAN and PAUL from bottom of our hears for taking us to Olive Garden. We had wonderful time sitting
talking planning wedding, talking about details. Guys thank-you.
ENJOY VIDEO:

Note: Press play for video to start rendering. After pressing play you might want to pause player for video to pre render so it doesn’t
skip.

This are the shoots of Maan and Paul over looking city on full moon. About 10 minutes before this shoot I went to my car that was on
the parking lot to take more equipment, but accidentally locked keys inside the car. First I was like Oh what do I do? But then Diana was
like “Andrey don’t worry I’ll call AAA” we have coverage it’s not going to cost you a thing.. in 15 minutes you car will be open. Ha?

I say it’s truly amazing to have a network on people who help each other.:)

VIDEO #1 BEHIND THE SCENES

E-session Alex+Mariah {engaged} Charlotte NC

03.21.10 Posted in E-Sessions

This week I’ll post a lot of E-sessions:) Here is one of my favorite Engagement photo session that also took place in Charlotte North Carolina
last year in late October. By the way I believe all fanciest weddings that we shoot came from Charlotte:) go Charlotte!

How did Alex&Mariah learned about us?
I know Alex for couple years now. He was BEST man @ Tania+David wedding (by the way YES it’s true Tania is my relative). After T&D wedding
I had privilege to photograph Alex sister in Charlotte, so when Alex contacted me saying “Andrey I heard you’ll be in Charlotte photographing
wedding can we schedule E-session? I agreeded and we set up a day.
Anyway Friday morning when we (my wife and I were @ Charlotte) it was raining and E-sessions didn’t happened. Because my afternoon in
Charlotte was booked with other 2 photo sessions It looked like E-session would not happened.

But than some little voice inside of me said “stay andrey.. stay andrey” Just kidding”. It’s a joke there were no voices.:). But ” ehhh I did
actually miss my flight, and stayed Monday for Mariah+Alex Engagement photo shoot.

Here is a good part. Mariah is Italian but Alex is Ukrainian. Don’t you guys think Alex is lucky? Italian fiance:-)))

All right guys it’s time for me to log off. As always I shoot many images. Alex is good photographer himself and he ordered
EXTENDED photo session were we had time to shoot at 3 totally different places with 3 sets of outfit, and we went all over Charlotte
and beyond, I believe we drove to South Carolina (not sure). Took approximately thousand images YES 1,000 and they are all so good.
Somehow I had to narrow down to 10.

E-session Igor+Ira

03.20.10 Posted in E-Sessions

Here is engagement for Igor and Ira who are getting married in May this year.

How did Igor&Igor learned about our services?
Years ago several times we went to jetski all together, however here is story about photography. I a
a proud member of 24 HRS Fitness club. And honestly I never go there. Well wait not true. I do go there
one’s per year to pay membership fee (I am series that’s about it). But my wife joined Fitness club this year
and dragged me there first couple of times. So during work out Igor came up said hi and asked if I still take photos?
And because we do and so pationate about out it, Igor took my number and here we are.

But the real interesting story is how Igor and Ira meet. When we were driving to downtown they told me
their story (how they meet) and I recorded little video on camera, but I’ll keep it for my self.

E-session it self: Weather: We had to shoot under HUGE heavy rain. One thing I learned is that photos
come out awesome in any weather”. But yes It was cold, we were all shaken, but we did it! I wish you
guys would have a chance to see all 700 images.

NAPA Valley wedding photoshoot

03.16.10 Posted in Weddings

Hey guys would love to share with you images of Andrey+Olga. Photo shoot was back in November 2009. Andrey and Olga contacted me and said
they would like to have more wedding photos. So we set up day for the shoot and Andrey and Olga came out for photosession all of
way from Spokane WA. So little pressure there (for me). But Saturday (first week of November) turned out to be extremely
nice day. Really enjoyed working with Andrey and Olga, they are very fun couple to work with. Very optimistic. We couldn’t stop laughing
thru out whole day.

Also wanted to thank Max for driving us around and helping thru out whole day. There were 7 of us and we had way too much fun.

Oh yes both Diana+Alex @ Shiksa studio helped out a lot.

Las Vegas trip

03.15.10 Posted in Other, Personal, Video

Last week several of us traveled to Vegas. We planned this trip for about 8 month however Alex Shik
@ Shiksastudio.com was reserving hotel last minute when we were actually driving. Definately very
interesting trip. We were going to bed at 3 am and had to wake up at 6:30 am. So not much sleep:-).

Had a chance to meet and talk with photographers all over US and World.

The most memorable evening for me was when I was invited to the restaurant to dine. First I had no idea who
were going to be there . But when I realized that it was a small group of extremely hi end photographers my first
reaction was to back out. In fact I turned around and didn’t want to go but Alex said, “Look Andrey if they invited
you than just go!”.
So I did and it was an incredible experience. There were 8 top photographers who traveled all over the world. It was
so interested to talk one on one with this photographers who handle multi million dollar weddings. The whole dinner
was about 1 1/2 hrs long and after that I was talking to one photographer for a long time, but my phone was keep calling and
calling so I had to go:-(. Extremely said that I couldn’t talk more because these guys didn’t mind talking to me for a long time,
witch TOTALLY shocked me!

Here is a little video of Vegas and another video of Fashion show that we got to photograph:) ENJOY!.
