Hi! I am Anastasia. I specialize in wedding photography that captures the essence of people and weddings.
I cater to couples who value photography as an art form, and who want to have a great time on their day. They come from a variety of different backgrounds, but they have one thing in common: the style of photography is of the utmost importance. And they appreciate that I work to their budgets.
My couples want beautiful, natural images - their stories told in a way that takes them back. Ultimately, they want to create a relaxed and intimate experience for all their guests. They appreciate my candid coverage, but at the same time the want some posing and direction for the formal photos, and are happy to give at least part of their day over to a photo shoot.
I design the photography to an artistic vision - the locations chosen, the time of day, and the posing all fit into an overall vision for the event, a vision for telling the story - and I help my couples with their wedding, to create the most beautiful photography I can for them. The location, the light, the pose, and lastly the expression all need to be beautiful, natural and real. Each image is crafted, every one taken for a reason.
It took me a few years with digital, but I've developed a combination of capture/post-processing that allows me to create digital images that evoke the feeling of film. My images have an atmospheric quality, a soft grain, and unique variation that doesn't look digital. This style has a warmth, a character to it that is missing from standard digital capture. My background is in medium-format film photography, and my digital approach is the same, a bit slower than the rapid-fire shoot-everything-that-moves digital capture so common now, but it creates images that I'm proud to put my name to.
Romantic, beautiful, natural colours, for your beautiful wedding!
Choosing a wedding photographer is not easy, but you should definitely love the work of any photographer you consider. Timeless, beautiful imagery will endure, and if you are looking for an album, these types of images will ensure that your album that will be as beautiful in two decades or more, as it is today - not a passing trend that is so last year. As my client Rosie said to me a few years ago:
'We still love our wedding photos and [still] get great comments, so that is a great compliment!'
