We are truly grateful to be able to partner with someone as accomplished, passionate and talented as William. He is one of the most amazing artists in the industry having specialized in graphic communications - he's worked with such a diverse group of clients such as Architectural Digest, Rolling Stone and The New Yorker. It's that simple gesture, facial expression or the way the light dances around a subject that creates the compelling images that William captures. He will give you works of art that transcend wedding photography, with his lens he will capture the essence of who you. He pours his heart and soul into every wedding he shoots. He will deliver awesome images that will live in your family for untold generations. His greatest passions are his beautiful wife, three amazing daughters, and photography!
A wedding day is an exciting whirlwind of unpredictable circumstances, personalities and emotions. I love every moment of it. Over the past 5 years, I've had the pleasure to meet so many fascinating people from all walks of life and have experienced amazing things that I never would have otherwise. Being a wedding photographer is a backstage pass to life. I feel incredibly lucky to make a living creating art and telling people's stories. My approach is comfortable and relaxed. l like to mingle and chat people up; find out who's who. This gets everyone comfortable with the guy waving the camera around so I can blend in and be forgotten. Of course, I'll coordinate and direct when needed, but always prefer to let things unfold naturally and to be as unobtrusive as possible. Photographically I look for honest and interesting situations, keep compositions simple and and seek out amazing light. Portrait sessions should be short enough to stay fun, and showcase the genuine personality of everyone involved. I LOVE photographing receptions...the crazier the party the better the pictures! I look forward to meeting you! - James
I am a professional photographer and I have been working in the area of photography since a very early age. I began training with my uncle who was teaching me how to photograph with an old Soviet camera called “Zenit”. Back in those days we didn’t have digital cameras, and everything was done on film. Together we took photographs, processed films and observed the processed negative with the help of magnifying glass. Lastly, we would choose the best photos and manufacture them using exposure – development – printing process with the help of sophisticated hardware: special photosensitive chemicals, enlarger, special photo-paper, dark room with special lighting used in the photo-manufacturing process, toning solutions, as well as trays, measuring glass ware, thermometers, drying screens, timers, mixing and stirring paddles, and paper cutters. This process was so breathtaking that its difficult for me to fully convey the excitement and emotions that it had on me. Since then, many years have passed, but I enjoyed every aspect of photography so much that it has forever penetrated my soul and the dream of becoming a professional photographer was born. As a photographer, I’ve been working professionally since the beginning of 2002. Prior to making the art of photography life’s work, I conducted multiple amateur photo shootings, thoroughly studied the art of photo-theory and technology, diligently studied the works and techniques of the most famous and most accomplished wedding photographers of Europe as well as attended multiple master classes offered by recognized American masters of photography. Eventually with hard work and determination I was ranked on the list as being one of top 5 photographers of the whole Russian Federation. I am very humbled to have such an accomplishment under my belt.
