As the chaotic mix of weddings, engagement shoots, and processing following my past events are starting to wind down, I have saved Andrei & Olga’s wedding at the Berkeley City Club as my last post before I jet off for a wedding in Jamaica. Andrei and Olga hired me as their photographer many months ago, but I quickly developed a friendship with these fun-loving, down to earth people. Their wedding at one of my favorite locations in Berkeley an especially memorable event. While most weddings start off with the bride and groom getting ready in their respective rooms, Andrei followed a Russian tradition and literally had to win the right to marry Olga through a series of riddles and questions! The day continued to be filled with surprises and fun Russian traditions, shared with a group of wonderful friends and family that welcomed me into their day. I could not have been more lucky to meet such a great group of people; the groomsmen and bridesmaids did everything they could behind the scenes to make sure every detail was perfect, and families from both sides were so united it was like photographing a celebration of one large family.

It was such an pleasure to document the momentous occasion. Thank you for sharing the moments. Gor’ko!

Last week I had the pleasure to work with Olga and Andrei. With lots of family in Russia- I was tasked with doing a photo shoot full of famous landmarks to send everyone back home. We spent the afternoon and evening around San Francisco, and made it home to Berkeley for a final shot in from of the famous Berkeley campanile. We also made it to the Golden Gate Bridge, Palace of the Legion of Honor, and a few other places. Think you can spot them? Take a look at the full slideshow HERE. We had a ton of fun, and I’m looking forward to their wedding at the Berkeley City Club this coming June. Enjoy the photos!
