It was, actually, one year and five month since Irina and Oleg got married. We had an anniversary photo session last weekend. I was good too see them again and know that they are doing great and very happy together. Check out a few images from their portrait session. It is a great weather these days, full of fall’s color which I was trying to capture. Happy Anniversary!




I just finished processing images from Mariana and Sergey wedding. I really love this one. Enjoy!

Little Kathryn was baptized in St. Irene Church in Portland. Check out a few images from that day below.
Have a nice day!

















It was really nice and warm day for Mariyana and Sergey to get married. Everybody was happy and looked amazing. Just look at Mariyana’s pictures. She was just a gorgeous bride! Olga Voronov (Madame de Fluers) provided beautiful flowers once again. I don’t have any hesitation to recommend her to my clients becuase I am shure she will do a great job.
It was also a busy day. We had very tight schedule and didn’t have time to go and shoot some bride and groom portraits. So, when the reception was over it was already dark. They let limo go and stayed with me to shoot some portraits. It was all dark around, no city lights and only place which had some lighting was the place by the reception hall with some columns connecting two buildings. We were shooting for two hours until bride almost felt asleep and my camera stopped locking focus and could focus anymore. Check out some of my favorite images below and, please, leave some comments in the comment section below. They are always welcome. If you don’t know what to say, just congratulate the couple, or tell me what is your favorite image is.
Flowers: Olga Voronov (Madame de Fluers), 503.760.1000
Ceremony: Church of Grace
Reception: St. George Orthodox Church



The lighting in the getting ready room was just amazing. I could shoot all day there. This shot is straight from the camera with some little cropping. BTW, all shots here are straight from the camera with some added warmth.












This is my favorite shot. I like how light is striking the door, picking a couple from the dark night and produces long shadows behind them:

I have been to all weddings of this family of three sons, Ben, Josh and Adam. Ben was the first who got married with Ella - daughter of our friends. I was invited as a guest and was not an official photographer at all. I was not even in photography business at that time. They had a hired a pro for formal pictures and ceremony. But I had my camera with me and was taking candid pictures of the event. It was my first exposure to wedding photography. I have never photographed a wedding before. After the wedding, I took images and over one night designed about 16 pages of wedding album and printed them 8×10 on photographic paper. I was so excited about the design process that could go to sleep until I was done. It was a great experience and I learned a lot from it.
When time came for Josh and Jecie to get married I was officially in business and was hired as a pro.
Now Adam and Simone hired me for their big day. Simone is from Germany and Adam met her there when he was serving in US Army.
Check out some of my favorite images of that day. Your comments are always welcome and very much appreciated.
Congratulations to Simone and Adam! It was my pleasure to photograph you.
Have a nice day!











I am documenting a baby’s first year of little Kathryn. Here is some picture from first sessions. More pictures are coming. Stay tuned…










Julie was my client back in March (check out her wedding pictures here on blog) and she asked me if I could come to her graduation and take some pictures. Sure thing! After we took some family pictures right after she got her diploma from Portland State University, it turned out into a mini portrait session right in front of her alma mater building. Check them out! Isn’t it she a natural model?







I have shot another beautiful wedding. Ellen and Taras tied the knot at David Hill Winery near Forest Groove, Oregon. Congratulations, guys! It was a really great party and we had a lot of fun! Check out some of my favorite images and my comments below.

I took Taras around the vineyard to shoot some portraits:

The lighting in the getting ready room couldn’t have been better for portraits:

We setup their first look meeting right at the field:


Then we went to have some portraits taken:









Ellen and Taras met when they were biking, in Vancouver, BC, when Ellen was visiting there.

Some fun on a bike:
