A different story
A wedding that can be described in one word — BOOM! An incredible, colourful, explosive, insanely beautiful story that lasted 17 hours! It all started at 6 in the morning at home with the closest friends and mum: while Seryozha was ironing his shirt and Kristina was having her hair done, I managed to catch a bit of sunshine and photograph the details. The weather that summer was not very summery, but on this day it was hot in every sense of the word!
I especially want to tell you how thoroughly the couple prepared — you will not believe it, but they repainted the walls of the room in the colour of the wedding: a delicate powder pink. They did not forget about the stationery either, arranged matching dresses for the bridesmaids — and what not! Everything was thought through down to the last detail, even the groomsmen wore matching cufflinks!!! Isn’t that a photographer’s dream) I also want to mention the groom’s getting-ready room) Colour plays a huge role in photography! And what a joy it is to shoot in bright, bold interiors like this one!!! The combination of yellow, black and white is a guaranteed win!
Then we went to the church for the wedding service: hundreds of candles lit the enormous hall, the whispers of the guests and rose petals — the atmosphere was simply mesmerising. The ceremony was led by grandfather, which made the moment even more moving.
Then came a walk in the park, shot in literally 10 minutes! If you look closely, snow-white poplar fluff is flying in every frame, lit up by the warm setting sun — it was magical!
Then everyone went to the banquet, which took place at the LOFT#2 complex. How I love celebrations with lots of children! These little guests are the best decoration of any party, no matter how old they are! They are so open, sincere, spontaneous and so real) with them you barely have time to catch all the fun moments! There were more than 300 guests that evening, by the way!
At the end of the day Kristina sang an incredibly romantic song she had written herself, and the exclamation mark of the day was a huge 40-kilogram cake!
The next morning I went to photograph the couple at the Baltschug Kempinski and walked with them all day around Moscow’s iconic places — but that is a completely different story )))
