I am honored to announce that one of my weddings has been selected to be featured on the front page of The Syracuse Post Standard main Wedding Section on July 17, 2011 (Sunday’s Paper). Justin & Dacie got married at the local Burnet Park  Zoo & it was so awesome to be part of one of the most important days of their life.  It was truly an honor. The Ceremony took place outside followed by an indoor reception that rocked the night.  It was the perfect wedding with the perfect couple.  Everyone was excited for them, at one point even the lions were roaring for Justin & Dacie. The reception took off with the first dance & then party all night long.  Everything was perfect…every detail was well thought through; all the planning & patience finally paid off…Justin & Dacie were finally married!

It was a pleasure and I am soo fortunate to have been able to capture these moments for Justin & Dacie.

The wedding was a blast. Ivan & Natalie were such an amazing couple & it was such an honor to be part of their wedding. I’ve photographed dozens of weddings in Utica, and no matter the amount of times I am there to photograph a wedding, we always end up going to a local train station in Utica NY. What really challenges me is that every time I shoot in the exact same location I make sure to come up with totally different images with a different perspective.  Even though I shot many weddings there, every time i come up with a slightly different approach & we get totally different shots…. but this is why I love my job. I love to be creative, think outside the box, & come up with great ideas no matter the circumstance, the time, or the location, or the amount of times we’ve been to that same location.

It was a real honor to have captured these memories for this couple & i know they will look back and enjoy every single photo they look at.  Ivan & Natalie are really an amazing couple.

I love traveling, I love meeting new people, & most of all I love weddings and I loved being part of Paul & Leely’s Wedding. Its great to know that even though sometimes I don’t get to meet my couples, they love my work so much that they hire me without meeting me & it means so much when couples put all their trust on me. It makes it that much more special to me to be able to be part of their lives and also become their friends. Here is a few images from their gorgeous wedding in Binghamton NY.

Some Additional details from the wedding:

Ceremony: Conklin Presbyterian Church

Reception: Brothers 2 Restaurant & Wedding Venue

Photos Location: Downtown Binghamton

Wedding at The Brewster Inn | Beautiful Cazenovia Lake view

NY Wedding Photographer Leo Timoshuk

I really wanted to share my experience  with an awesome catering place that I really liked. A few years back I had a privilege shooting a wedding at The Brewster Inn. It was a really romantic on the lake setting with an extraordinary view that really made you feel like you were on a getaway and eating at a really fancy place. The food was beyond delicious with chefs cooking for every single person that attended the wedding. Even for this large wedding that probably had about 150-200 people, the chefs did an awesome job. I loved being able to be at a location where we could really utilize the area to also capture some really awesome memories so that we didn’t have the need to drive to a park, or downtown. It was a perfect and romantic place  to have the wedding there.

Here are a few shots from the wedding with a slideshow at the end.

I’m soo excited to launch &  share with all of you my new porfolio site. Its been quite a journey through much research, lots of sleepless nights, & extremely hard work. Finally, it has all paid off. I’m soo thrilled & excited that finally this moment has come.

I cannot thank all my good friends enough. Daniel Usenko from Daniel Unesnko Photography has invensted a great amount of time & energy to help me understand & help me become who I am today. Daniel helped me with my initial startup & helped me understand what branding is & he helped me to define my style & soo much more. Daniel also teaches many workshops so I encourage everyone to check out his site at  Daniel Unesnko Photography.

I would also like to extend many thanks to the Flosites team who patiently were willing to work with me & get me where I wanted to go with my site. Most of all I would like to thank Ross Tanner, the owner  Flosites,who helped me out the most, he definitely rolled up his sleeves & got his hands dirty when it came to working on my site, to make sure everything ran smoothly from start to finish, I can’t thank him enough… so once more a BIG thanks to Ross Tanner & the Flosites team. I would recommend & encourage any photographer to work with these guys. There are extremely good at what they do & they will work with anyone to make their site unique & custom to the photographer’s style & taste.
