Megan and Chris: elopement in Tuscany

I love elopements as much (if not more!) than traditional weddings. Imagine being somewhere beautiful with your significant other, sharing days, experiences, adventures and getting married in a place that will forever remain special. I was truly honoured to travel to Tuscany in July to capture a very special Tuscan elopement for Megan and Chris. They travelled all the way from Canada to pronounce their vows under the Tuscan sun <3

Wedding shoot in the tulip fields

Nicole and Matt flew all the way from Canada to elope in Amsterdam and have their photos taken in the tulip fields. It has always been her dream to see the flowers and wander around Dutch countryside, enjoying the views. We left the city before the sunset, heading to the fields. The photos turned out very sincere and very emotional, just like this beautiful couple <3 I will share their city photoshoot next week as well.

Post-wedding walk in Florence

What a beautiful idea it was to have an early morning walk in Florence straight after the wedding! When the emotions of a big day are still giving them goosebumps, when the sun is tender and love is all around...

Intimate wedding walk in a sunset Florence

Yana and Aleksei were dreaming of a romantic intimate elopement in one of the most beautiful cities in Italy - Florence. We got really lucky, as the sunset sun created a truly magical atmosphere. I walked with them to my favourite photo-spots, and we witnessed the sunset from a rooftop terrace in the heart of the city.

Elegant and timeless styled shoot in a misty Cape Town

I've been craving for a shoot like this since the first time I saw Cape Town in a mist. We are used to a sunny city, golden sunsets and stunning light, but I really wanted to try to take photos in grey and foggy weather, when the clouds are so low to the ground that it feels that you can walk in that mysterious mist.
We've been planning this styled photo-story for a long period of time, checking the weather predictions and adjusting our schedules. On the shooting day, the weather was changing every few hours, as it can happen in Cape Town. We went from sunshine to fog, drizzle and cold. We started to shoot in a beautiful golden light, which was not what I actually wanted, but we decided to take it as it goes...and the result is beautiful, isn't it? Especially because the weather changed drastically and by the time we were rounding up the shoot Cape Town impressed the whole team with a very beautiful and dramatic light. 
Sharing the results of a great teamwork!

Intimate elopement in Cape Town

They flew all the way to South Africa with a dream to exchange marriage vows next to the ocean. I was there to witness a very intimate, honest and emotional wedding ceremony "for two". After that special moment when they promised to love, respect and cherish each other, we drove to my favourite beach for a stunning sunset, stopping along the way.
I hope you will like these honest and very sweet moments captured by my camera.

Wedding photo walk for two in Amsterdam

They came to Amsterdam from a warm Tel Aviv. They wanted to capture a few happy moments of their honeymoon in Europe, far away from what they are used to. Amsterdam was the best choice, with it's golden September light, narrow bridges, and romantic streets.

Wedding for two at the North Sea

Anna and Slava. Young, dreamy, shining. In love. They chose an intimate elopement in the circle of close friends to a loud celebration. We spent a beautiful day together, enjoying a sunny day and the seaside. Let these photos keep their tenderness, excitement and true love for each other.

Wedding for two in Amsterdam

A beautiful bride Anne contacted me a month before their honeymoon trip to Amsterdam. She wanted a very unconventional wedding shoot for only two of them, in this city full of surprises and bright locations. The dress was made by her grandmother, and it perfectly fit to the mood of the city. I still get amazed by how perfect Amsterdam matched to the mood and character of this outstanding couple!
We spent the whole day wandering around busy streets, parks and the dunes.

Blessing ceremony in Cape Town

Blessings and vows...

It was a truly special and emotional experience that I will never forget. LJ and Jenny contacted me just a few months before my usual trip to Cape Town, asking whether I could help them organise a blessing ceremony for family and close friends. They both live in Great Britain but come from South Africa. A year before they got married in London, but a lot of relatives couldn't fly to the wedding. Hence, they've got a beautiful idea: to plan an intimate blessing and vow renewal ceremony in Cape Town.
We set everything on a spectacular empty beach, surrounded by sand dunes and facing the ocean. Only the closest family members and friends attended the ceremony.
