What a time…

What a time this has been. Our new baby, Alex, has arrived and exactly on the date we wanted, August 1st—between two weddings, of course! Now that’s a good baby.

And now here we are, well into the busiest time of the year with a photo shoot scheduled pretty much every day until the middle of October. I used to think I didn’t have any free time but now that I’m helping my beautiful Masha with the baby, it takes away any blogging time I might have had.

During the last few weeks we’ve had a chance to be part of some absolutely amazing wedding celebrations. Here is a petite collection of some favorite shots.

Don’t be shy! Leave a comment or just say, “Hi.”

What a combination of composition and lighting! I’ve never seen anything like that before. What’s the secret? Are you offering workshops?

Very beautiful, I love the colors on the photograph, great take and imagination.

Spend time with your family. I will wait for your new photos as long as necessary. I know you will blow me away as you did time after time.

Alexey - August 26, 2010 - 12:01 pm

Is California so beautiful or its just the way you photograph? I guess I have to visit to find out.

Connie - August 26, 2010 - 12:02 pm

Two years passed since I’ve stumbled upon your website. You are my true inspiration. You’ve somehow changed my life. Its not about the cameras and lenses I’ve got. I look at the world differently now.

Dear,Joseph,your work is amazing……as usual!!!!! The more pictures I see,the more I love your style,your work!!! But this is not the reason of my writing-the reason is I never had a chance to congratulate you and your family with the birth of a baby.Congratulations to you and your lovely wife Masha!!!!
You just had a baby!And while our world is tumbling around and spitting apart at the seams,you have a pair of eyes staring up from a rosy pink face in wonder at the new world stretching around him.And laughing.And crying.And cooing.And giggling.Isn’t it wonderfull?!!!!!
Congratulations and my best wishes!
Anastasia

I am impressed with the snaps that you have posted. While looking at the pictures it seems that you just find your self be disappeared in the gallery and when the slide show ends it like you just came out from an another world. That picture and the work of the photographer has impressed me a lot. Thank you very much for sharing it..

Fantastic work, love the shot of the bride against the red background

Wedding Photography Lancashire - March 17, 2011 - 4:13 am

Wonderfully evocative photography. I particularly like the way you compose with such ambiguity, making one detail the main focus and using colour and contrast to tell a story and leave the viewer wondering what else could be going on outside of what you have shown us. Your work has a real sense of intimacy. Great photography!

Thomas Jackson - March 17, 2011 - 11:48 pm

A lovely collection. As a wedding photographer from England, I will certainly be taking inspiration from these. The indian wedding in particular looks gorgeous.
