This lovely couple came to the wedding shooting from Greece, from the beautiful island of Corfu.
At first, I, as a northerner, was certainly surprised, because northerners have a popular wedding option on the island with all these wonderful attributes: snow-white sand, the blue gentle sea, lovely local traditions and freshness. Greece is the perfect embodiment of such a dream. However, we all want what we don’t have and the guys wanted a photo shoot in the beautiful scenery of imperial Vienna on the sweetest and oldest streets of the city.
The weather was really terrible, it was raining and we were very cold, but with all truthfulness I can swear it - it was the most fun shooting of my entire career. We laughed and moved a lot, and the rain only added romance.
Enjoy watching!
The wedding on the last summer day - the sun, beautiful lake, Aperol Spritz and a lot of beautiful people
It was a place called Herrsching near Munich. We were sailing on a ship and on the upper deck the bride and the groom said their beautiful and gentle vows to each other. Since the wedding was Russian-German, bride's friends have quirkily altered the Russian tradition of bread and salt, which the bride and groom should eat together. They replaced the bread with a salty bretzel and made a typical-russian-wedding joke - Oliver and Anastasia should bite a bretzel at the same time and the one who bites off a larger piece would be the ruler at their home. Well, Oliver won the fight
After that we danced, had some delicious food and watched a delightful sunset. I was so glad to participate in this celebration and I'm infinitely grateful to the guys for their trust.
Hermes Villa is a hidden treasure of Vienna. The palace located in Lainzer Tiergarten, the former Habsburgs hunting forest. The villa was a gift from Emperor Franz Joseph to his wife, Empress Elizabeth, knowing as Sisi. She called Hermes villa her Palace of Dreams (Schloss der Träume). Naturally, a historical background like that and extraordinarily elegancy of architecture makes the palace desirable place for the wedding. Slava and Sasha decided to make their wedding photoshoot in Vienna and after long searches we found this place. Sometimes you get lucky and that day was definitely our day. The last May was the coldest May I've ever remember in Vienna, but in very this day the temperature was about 25 degree, slight wind and sun. The perfect weather for the perfect photoshoot!
