once again i have experienced this great feeling, when your clients let you witness the most important milestones in their life: summer 2010 engagement session in their favorite lounge (the first time for me to shooot an engagement session indoors), fall 2010: beautiful wedding in the heart of georgetown (Tudor place is indeed greatly secluded paradise), summer 2011: the most beautiful addition yet - little Lukas shows of his smile in front of my camera for the first time :)

engagement session in Meridian Hill park in dc with a side of a rain ... beautiful light comes with. drizzle part is not so good for the camera, but it loves the light: so we have decided to play along ;)

If you are in downtown: please do stop by: this park is a hidden treasure indeed!

Mandy and Joe

2011-04-08T02:32:00.001-04:00

one of these first spring days, when it is such a blessing to be outdoors: first blooms, first warm sunshine, not so first kisses ... sun really works considering that cold winter wind is still staying with us. but there is no reason to keep that smile away! :)

occasion: engagement session

place: national cathedral - one of my favorites!

Alexandra and Michael

2011-03-15T23:51:00.003-04:00

John and Jerry

2011-03-15T23:12:00.002-04:00

Amanda and Matthew

2011-03-15T22:42:00.006-04:00

thank you guys for the location tip: "tudor place" - garden paradise in the heart of georgetown! we got extra lucky: the weather was a blessing for late october ... and some of the guests used this blessing quite wise: biking all the way from georgetown (ceremony) to old town alexandria (reception)! i am almost green with a bit of envy :)
the reception took place in familiar place: morrison house hotel in alexandria.

Stacie and Alex

2011-02-08T20:35:00.003-05:00

winery is the place to be in the middle of fall to celebrate the season at it's best: bold colors, bare emotions ... and a new couple: young, careless and free: something you want to keep till the rest of your life :)

"passing" time with a couple of studio lights.
we are originally from the same country (estonia). this is not the only thing i like about her tho ;).

Michael

2010-10-28T01:31:00.002-04:00

the little one has arrived: the tiniest one, but with the huge personality: it is all in his eyes :)

Alexandra and Evan

2010-10-23T02:32:00.006-04:00

Russian Orthodox Marriage Ceremony: my first one being as a photographer, even though i am myself russian orthodox. this was my first couple being wed at our church. it is really touching to witness people having such a desire to adopt our religion.

details: if you are coming from different background you have to baptize as russian orthodox prior the ceremony. the ceremony is one hour long, everybody is standing (elderly and sick are an exception).

there is truly something warm and comforting about the place you keep coming back to in your happy, troubled or difficult times ...

the reception took place at woodend in bethesda: an elegant mansion in the heart of nature sanctuary.

Michelle and Phillip

2010-10-23T01:20:00.005-04:00

loved the hotel (mandarin oriental hotel in dc) and specifically: i fell in love with the one particular painting in the foyer: will have to come back to get the author's name ;)

the ceremony took place at the washington cruise boat along the potomac: really great idea for a hot summer day: to keep in sync with the outdoors and at the same time being in ac proofed indoors :)

Nina and Thomas

2010-10-16T03:09:00.000-04:00

first comes the party, then comes the marriage ceremony: quite an arrangement for an evening and it does pay off: talking about cake going straight into your loved one's face ;)

Elena: baby is on the way!

2010-10-13T23:38:00.009-04:00

it was countdown to long days, sleepless nights and ... long awaited baby joy! :)
my congrats to the happy parents! excited to have the little one pose for us anytime soon ;)

Kathleen and Michael

2010-10-05T22:53:00.005-04:00

almost a year later i find myself in the familiar settings: hendry house in arlington. it is very charming historic mansion: just perfect for weddings.
this was one of these weddings, when you almost not ready to leave just yet, when the last guests are out the door and still want to take just one more photo. great people, great vibe: a lot of happiness around!

Amy and Sean

2010-09-29T13:16:00.000-04:00

my first wedding after having some time off this september. also the opening wedding for the new season: fall 2010. Excited!
a few photographs from Kennedy Center. surprisingly they don't require photography permission. unsurprisingly: parking is the trickiest part ;)

northern beach

2010-09-29T13:09:00.000-04:00

have found some great clouds back in my hometown: tallinn, estonia

2% of each wedding booking goes to Last Chance Animal Rescue Shelter

2010-08-23T20:19:00.000-04:00

a bit more, than 2 years ago i adopted my "baby" Taras from this shelter (being represented at a well known dc area pet store). it will be a good use for some of my income to go to the place, which helps to prevent animal cruelty and works hard to give them the second chance at life.
my clients will receive proof for each transaction made from their bookings with me. i hope, no: i know: it will bring a little difference to somebody's life!

bellies are in the hous ;)

2010-08-22T16:55:00.000-04:00

Galina.

my 3rd belly so far ;) they are all different, but still the same:
the same part is: they are all boys! :)

summer in the city of arlington

just some time off :)

pregnancy: defined in natural light

2010-07-27T23:19:00.000-04:00

one of my early pregnancy sessions with one of my wedding clients:
i've started out with available light only. i will move towards studio now, but natural light will always have that special place in my portfolio!
p.s. i would love to display all the images .... with the face as well, but in this case i am fulfilling my client's desire to stay anonymous for web :)

Baby Time

2010-07-12T22:29:00.000-04:00

i think i've discovered a new passion: photographing the tiniest ones! it is: if they are happily not hungry and already watching their 1st dream :)

Amanda and Matt

2010-07-09T02:13:00.000-04:00

e-session with a hint of ... cocktail spirit: we used one of the signature cocktail places in old town alexandria: great intimate place to have a cocktail ;) also known as a place to have not your average engagement session:

Korin & Christopher

2010-07-01T03:10:00.000-04:00

it was a while! but considering the high peak season, that just had come to it's end: im now getting back to catching up on ... everything! did we have 90-95F on an average these past two weeks? oh yes, we certainly did: I do remember seeing that nice purplish tint added to my normally yellowish face coloration in the mirror of my car after one of my june outdoor weddings, pls dont get me started on the humidity factor! :)

Maria

2010-06-19T00:03:00.001-04:00

studio lights: continued ;)

Irene

2010-06-07T05:09:00.000-04:00

this was one of these rare weekends: i could have just take a break from the cam ... but why would i ? ;)

Stephanie and Eric: you can only have it in dc

2010-06-02T02:49:00.000-04:00

the Capitol on the background it is ;)

Santi and Tim

2010-06-01T03:07:00.000-04:00

my latest wedding: it's just the Girl for now: i'd love to share a couple of "quite/serene" images of her being alone (well: that is including me and my canon hanging out nearby! lol). this is one of these weddings, where the heart accompanied by the soul were the main ingredients :)
the rest (of the images it is) is soon to come! ;)

Ira

2010-06-01T01:08:00.000-04:00

i am still excitedly in the process of shooting people with my new studio lights as a main accessory: even my cat got into the picture, even tho his excitement is not that obvious ;)

Oleg ... again

2010-05-31T02:39:00.000-04:00

in between my weddings I am playing with my latest favorite toy: studio lights. emotions here are defined by light! love the natural light setting just the same! ;)

Santi and Tim

2010-05-10T20:37:00.000-04:00

it is hard to take pictures of someone, who really is not looking forward to it (we are talking The Groom ;)) ... it is fun, when you still manage to take a few ;): fun couple, fun session: looking forward to the Fun Wedding! :)
One of my favorite locations: Brookside Gardens: you can never go wrong with it!

once in a while its just a flower

2010-04-29T01:15:00.001-04:00

Oleg

2010-04-26T00:37:00.000-04:00

one of these rare april saturdays, when i would just go with the flow with my fellow photographer not being afraid to be judged as he has been put on the spot: the model one this time around ;)

one of the greatest venue locations in dc

2010-04-22T00:21:00.000-04:00

Shannon and Sean.
one of my two 8h weddings from this last weekend (oh, yeah: somehow i've managed to stay alive! :)) took it's place at one of the greatest venues i've ever been to in dc - Carnegie Institute of Science. it was my second wedding at this particular venue and both of them left me very happy with the result: it's interior architecture is great and there are two rooms in the venue with simply unforgettable character: the library and the board room. i do hope these few images will speak for themselves :)

old town - my love ... well one of them ;)

2010-04-13T01:07:00.000-04:00

old town, lots of sunshine + some giggle here and there = who could have think: it's a birth of our new engagement session ;)
Starbucks took care of caffein level in our blood and unusual warmth of this year's april sunday combined with quite a few happy thoughts had found us just a block away from a very busy king st, alexandria.

april showers?! not for 2010!

2010-04-12T23:28:00.000-04:00

What can i say: this April is blessed with the perfect weather! having my birthday in april, i can remember quite a few with showers, cold wind and cant-wait-till-F75 thoughts going through my head.
Not this year tho :): Meadowlark Gardens, April 10th, 2010 Wedding: it is still in works to comprehend all the images taken during this 9 hours celebration. Here are a few, i'd love to share:

add a few cherries to your love!

2010-04-05T01:43:00.000-04:00

cherry blossom's pick in dc, weekend and spring brake: the perfect way to add some craziness to any sat morning engagement session ... even to the one at 8 o'clock in the morning :)

My girls...from back home: tallinn, estonia

2010-04-02T02:49:00.000-04:00

we've been apart for almost 9 years now, but still: we have something really great in common: our past/growing into
womanhood thing: nobody can take that one away. Here they are: 8 years later

Alex

2010-04-02T00:52:00.000-04:00

i like her face a lot: i keep catching myself coming back to her "file" again and again: just to find something new and exiting :)

feb 25th wedding at Brookside gardens: Cindy & Banny

2010-03-26T02:12:00.000-04:00

An intimate small gathering at one of the most beautiful summer getaways in our area: Brookside Botanical Gardens. The best you can do in the end of february ... and to think of, that all this snow is still waiting us outside... exciting!

the new era in wedding photography.

2010-03-23T22:17:00.000-04:00

some of us finally got the chance to make their long awaited dream come true :)

Tiffany, the Girl and the Cathedral ;)

2010-03-19T00:29:00.000-04:00

let's start from the very beginning now ...

2010-03-18T03:39:00.000-04:00

little things

2010-03-15T01:06:00.000-04:00

2010-03-13T03:34:00.000-05:00

Chris and Tiffany:
do it during the most beautiful season in dc - autumn: warmth is still here, colors are at it's best and the chill, that comes at night keeps us close to each other in anticipation of soon to come winter. forget the car, take a walk instead: the city has a lot to show you.

2010-03-13T02:47:00.000-05:00

Kim and Shawn:
old town alexandria: photography "trial" (Engagement Session it is) before the Big Day. they don't really need one (trial it is): they already have got all, that takes to get a great photographs and have a "happily ever after": love is in the air!

Snow

2010-03-13T02:33:00.001-05:00

take them to "Jefferson"

2010-03-13T02:10:00.000-05:00

2010-03-13T01:34:00.000-05:00

Maggie and Dave:
Great couple: happiness and positive emotions are everywhere ... which actually helps photographer to create quite a few nice wedding pictures!
The wedding took place at Brookside Gardens, Silver Spring, MD: it's conservatory is beautiful place to have a Ceremony. It's garden is gorgeous as well: perfect location for spring/fall outdoors ceremony.

2010-03-12T03:34:00.000-05:00

you name it.

2010-03-12T03:08:00.000-05:00

happiness is in your eyes.

2010-03-12T02:58:00.000-05:00

you might think she is lost. she might be. aren't we all? she is happy. she doesn't know it yet.

2010-03-12T02:35:00.001-05:00
