When I met Nataliya & Aleksandr at a local café before their wedding day, they told me how much they really enjoy the reportage feel of my images and how they can appreciate B+W and Sepia type of imagery. With that in mind I was hoping to create something a little bit different for them.
It is not often that when I sit down and look at a body of work that a whole edit comes into place that simply works in a different way and on a different level. For Nataliya & Aleksandr their wedding images simply take on a life of their own when presented in this warm tone Black & White.
Though all of my images are captured in color – I simply feel that Nataliya & Aleksandr’s wedding images speak to me much more profoundly when presented in this way. There are many images that may not work in B+W, such as those taken at the John Lennon Wall, but this edit works beautifully and I hope it truly captures a part of their personality.
But the true question is what does one see when you look at the images? When I look at these images of Nataliya & Aleksandr the true feelings that stand out is of two people who are tender, caring, and simply in love, eagerly awaiting the start of their new lives together as husband & wife.
As a wedding & portrait photographer in Prague, I can honestly say that the reward is not entirely financial – no the reward is in creating beautiful, timeless images that will be cherished for generations to come! That was something that my previous work in journalism lacked – until now!
Thank you Nataliya & Aleksandr for choosing me to be a small part of your wedding day here in Prague. It was a pleasure getting to know you. I wish you both much love and future success in your life together! And I hope to see you both soon either here in Prague or in Israel!
