This beautiful dance Tango..

And again some photopictures of Argentine tango.
The photos were taken in March, during a tango festival organised in Birmingham. The teachers were invited from Argentina and was there as an official photographer

Wedding Helen and Nick

Just noticed that I mostly show photographs of brides or of both bride and groom, but not of grooms :)

For a change, I'll start from a groom's photo now.

This is another April's wedding this year. Initially we planned to start taking photos of Nick's preparation first. However, he arrived to the hotel later, just when the bride was about to put a wedding dress on, so I popped in to his room just for 5 minutes to take a few shots. Here is one of them.



Some photos are attached below.
More photos of this wedding I'm going to present as pages of a photobook later.

See you soon...

Wedding Darya & Sergey

A week ago I went to a friends' wedding. The couple was beautiful, the weather was excellent, so I could not resist to take out my camera ...
Here are some photos from the wedding :)

Wedding Irina and Aleksey

And another April's couple

It was difficult to have a walk outdoor after the ceremony because of heavy rain and wind, but this did not stop the bride and groom to enjoy their wonderful day. There is a saying that rain in wedding day is a good sign :)

This time I've decided to share with you pictures from the whole wedding day - this is my normal coverage on weddings

Some professional achievements

I've got good news - recently (well, quite, back in March :) ) I became a full member of the Master Photographers Association - the UK society of full-time professional photographers. I am glad that not only my clients like my wedding photo style... Now you can find me in the MPA's listing at www.thempa.com



I also joined the Wedding & Portrait Photographers International association(WPPI) - it's great to be in an international team :)

Wedding Elena & Andrey

Just a few photos from the first April's couple.
Beatiful and stylish bride Elena and very handsome groom Andrey

Wedding Tatiana and Karl

Photos from the wedding of Tatiana and Karl. (March 2010)

The beginning of the season 2010.
Very happy and in love to each other, Tatiana and Karl got married in both the church and the registry office on 6th March in England.
Here I'd like to present a colour series of photographs from the wedding - the black and white ones will follow.
I hope you'll enjoy the preview :)

Feedback from a happily married couple

Wedding in Prague, 10/10/2009

I recently received a feedback from a couple who I photographed in October last year. You already saw DVD slideshows from their Love Story and wedding - I posted them to the blog in January. I'm glad that they like the photos - it seems I managed to capture their emotions :)


Hi Elena! Now we will add to the box of your most complimentary comments on your work. You know already that you’re just superb. But what is the name of the person who can bring you to your past and make you feeling the same emotions of the most wonderful moments of your life again and again? The name is Wizard (or Enchantress as you are). Elena, the things you do is real Magic! We would like to express our gratitude to you and your husband Yury for that it was very comfortable and easy to be shot by you. And as a result, we’ve got amazing photos that we can’t stop going through! Once again many thanks and respect!

Irina and Michael

P.S. You’re always desired guests in our home!

Argentine Tango

I enjoy the argentinin tango, and not only to watch but also to dance. In my opinion, this is the only dance where it is possible to express all the feelings: joy, sadness, passion, love, tenderness... This dance means a lot to me, it completely changed my life :) Unfortunately, now I don't have enough time to dance as much as I used to dance, but have a chance to photograph tango, which is also good.

Here is one of the photographs from a recent tango shoot

And kids again

Just at the beginning of this year I photographed another family with a child, also in a studio. Just to share with you several pictures...
