The moment I saw this couple I understood that one hour in my parking meter will not be enough. I said to Michael and Sandrine that I will not photograph them the usual way. I have to do a fashion photoshoot or as much of it as possible. Sure enough Michael and Sandrine not only liked the idea but also posed like professional models without any modeling experience. They say that it is me
but I don’t think so. I think it worked out so well because this is who they are and what they enjoy. Again, I never met couple before to talk about what kind of photography we will be shooting. Same happened on their wedding day. It is like one big fashion photoshoot. And wedding planner Maddy from MaddyK added some spice by transforming the entire Windsor ballroom venue into a high end night club. I will post the wedding photos later but for now enjoy the engagement photoshoot with Sandrine and Michael.
My image became a picture of the day on National Geographic website. August 23rd. You can check it here
I have some incredible announcement to make actually 2 of them. One is a new product that made several of our couples change the date of their wedding so they could include it in their package. Another great thing is actually the greatest in my life so far will not be desclosed at the moment. Stay tuned!

Call the wind, gather kids, call the bride and get ready for the moment. I saw it coming long time before. Enjoy!

I don’t know what to say. I could have said how great is the couple and how beautiful the wedding was. I think everyone on every blog says the same. It became some sort of a standard way to comment. Let me just say that I’m the luckiest photographer to be able to photograph beautiful Marta and handsome Barry and I have these photographs to prove it. Enjoy!
One thing I wanted to mention that the lighting in the synagogue was created completely by me. The natural lighting was not very interesting so I had to use some of my flashes on remote to help me to create this mysterious and dramatic look. Same thing is happening with the image #9#10. every drop of lighting was created with my sb 900 that I hold in my hand. i will be talking about this technique during my upcoming numerous workshops. Let me know if you are interested.

I don’t know which parts of my brain made it hallucinate but I had a feeling that I was transported into a fairytale and pages of those beautifully illustrated children books became alive. I had to guide this couple just slightly and make them look as if they were waiting for a big sail boat that will take them on the trip around the world. I truly felt that this is possible at that moment. Here we have the skies, the mood, and the light (and a little bit of gelled flash) everything works in unison creating a moment that cannot be recreated.
Enjoy.
