Hi guys, today is good day for us. Just finish editing first and second day for Julie and Sergey. Their wedding was in June 2010.

enjoy ‘save the date’ clip that alex edited during love story shoot.

Maan+Paul wedding took place in Livermore CA. Reception held place in Catholic church next to San Jose downtown, and reception held place in
vineyards near Livermore CA. We had a very beautiful hillside area and had opportunity to work at sunset:).
If you are reqular Blog reader you’ll remember Mann+Paul e-session Blog post with video’s that was made by Shiksa studio.

We were looking forward this wedding. Alex & Diana also were pretty exited towards capturing this wedding, because Maan and Paul
were very romantic towards each other.
If you read BLOG you’ll remember that after E-session we went to restaurant and I remembered that Maan said that during reception
there will be pianist. We we knew that wedding will be very classy, so I tried to be not too goofy, see video #2

WEDDING REEL
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
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!.

AS you can see I REALLY like to shoot video here is a moment at the END of the wedding where BRIDE was stolen (old tradition). Also
I included joke that host Moses shared with us! I found it pretty funny. My goal was NOT to produce perfect video so it shakes etc..

Good afternoon guys!
I just received email from my friend Alex who is a videographer. Because Alex
and his wife Diana live in Bay Area they get to hand out in SF a lot. Anyway looks
like they visited this nice place, and the ONLY reason why I’m putting this on the BLOG
because I enjoyed Quality of the footage.

P.S. Oh yes what do we do on free time? Sometimes we create art (photography)
but not always. Here is my first drag race on Nissan Titan (white pick up truck)
Nissan Titan belongs to Val who lives close tome. He was kind enough to let
me race it few times.
Actually I slowed down to early, other wise timing would be better.
