For those that don’t know… Its not easy to be featured on Style Me Pretty especially with an engagement session. Style Me Pretty is very particular about what they post and choose to be featured and to know that this engagement session was chosen to be featured is a pretty big deal especially knowing that they get over 400-500 submissions on a weekly basis.

I’ve also been featured many other times so feel free to check out some other engagements and weddings that I photographed.

Check out the awesome feature and be sure to leave a comment because I would love to hear what you think and if your getting married, I’d love to work with you to capture your enagement session or even be your wedding photographer. I’m happy to say that photographing weddings is my career and I love what I do and most of all, I love working with couples. I’m based in Central NY but I travel across the country for engagements and weddings. I love to travel. Traveling to far and unique places allows me to be a destination wedding photographer. Please stop by and fill out the contact section to get more details on pricing and availability. I’d love to see what I can do for you.

I really love couples that really put their trust on me and in situations like these, we were on our way to the park and I saw a field where I really wanted the entire bridal party to stop by and spend some time there. Pulling over at a random place, behind buildings, out in the middle of nowhere is what I call an awesome couple that trusts a photographer. When I see an opportunity I’ll definitely present it to the bride and most of the time, the couple just tell me that they trust me and before you know it, everyone jumps out in the middle of the road and everyone just has so much fun. We had the opportunity to go to Franklin Square for wedding photos, Downtown Syracuse, swing by an open field, and finally decided to finish off wedding photoshoot at Carousel Mall which is now called Destiny USA. Destiny USA was packed with people but that didn’t stop us from taking the couple on the carousel horse ride. While we were there, we certainly had to take the carousel for a spin.

Here is just a  few photos that highlight Vadim & Veronika’s awesome wedding!!!

A bit of modern fashion, a vintage location, a stylish stunning bride, and of course a handsome guy for the bride, a killer 2nd day bridal session at Ithaca Falls, 2 weddings dresses, classy cars, high end cars, and most of all an awesome gorgeous couple… this wedding has it all.

Mike & Victoria’s Rochester NY beautiful & gorgeous wedding finally made it to my blog. It was an amazing day full of life. A little different from most weddings but thats what I really love about my couples. Everyone has their own vision for a wedding fairy tale & Victoria certainly had hers. One thing you’ll see different is that Victoria wanted a more fashion style vintage shoot as well as a modern elegant photoshoot so she had two wedding dresses, thats right, 2! Before the day began Mike & Victoria got dressed to have their first look as well as take off to a farm field with a barn for a photoshoot during the morning hours. We then came back to the house, where the bride put her real dress on that she wore the rest of the day. It was really awesome to have the couple so passionate about photos that they took it a step further and planned out the day so that they could utilize as much time as possible for really awesome memories. Not only that, the couple also hired me for a second day shoot (bridal photoshoot) two months after the wedding. It was the perfect solution to focus on the wedding and not worrying if the couple had enough time for photos and it also eliminated any “rushing” during the wedding. Its also nice to have a bridal session or a second day shoot if the weather doesn’t hold out on the wedding day.

The entire wedding was just so beautiful & gorgeous.

From the Bride:

“My Husband and I and both involved with our church, and Ukrainian community, and we just knew it would be the most prefect location to have the Lord’s Blessing and get married at our church.

Our ceremony was traditional and romantic. It was held at the church were we both attend. I have a huge love for flowers, so for me it was very important to include a lot of flowers into the ceremony and reception.

I (the bride), began working at an auto shop in the beginning of the year. I was in charge of running the front office, and greeting the customers as they walked in to get serviced. On one sunny spring day, a handsome man walked in to get his SUV looked at. I could tell that he was a bit shy, and seemed completely smitten. I was very flattered. A few weeks later he came again, and it seemed every week he would find a reason to come back to the auto shop. It was then that I knew that he no longer was coming to get his car fixed, but he had his eye on something else. 

Our proposal was sweet, personal, and very down to earth. On one snowy night in January, my husband picked me up from my house and told me that we were going to go watch a movie. I was totally down for it, and was not expecting a single thing. On the way to the theater we stopped by his office because he had to pick up some papers. When i walked in with him, his office was filled with candles, roses, and rose petals. At that moment I knew. As I looked behind me, there he was standing on one knee with a beautiful Tacori ring in his hand. 

For our reception we had soft pinks, peach, ivories, and creams as our color palette. I wanted something that was elegant, romantic, and inviting. I made sure to use lots of peonies, garden roses, orchids, roses, ranunculus, vine branches, and plenty of hydrangeas. “

I would like to take this opportunity to feature a really awesome videographer that I recently met that has a really awesome portfolio. When I traveled to Huntsville Alabama for a destination wedding, I worked with a really awesome talented husband and wife video team that really impressed me.

One of the great things about them is they travel across the country to shoot weddings & do not charge any travel fees, not a penny. If anyone is looking for video coverage or a videographer, you guys have to check them out.

Here are a couple videos, feel free to watch them & take a look at their portfolio here:  http://alukovsky.com/
