Andrey Shamilov

I came into the wedding photography from years of experience in a daily newspaper and then working as a studio portrait artist.

Being a photo-journalist in a newspaper, I have learned to work under high pressure with the time-sensitive material. And when I have worked as a portrait photo-artist in a studio, I was able to master my perfectionism while being very meticulous with my work. Both of those attributes are very important when it comes to the wedding photography. Yes, I've seen the work of many average photographers, but it's that journalistic experience - what gives me the ability to capture incredible moments of the most important time of their lives - my clients that is.

And of course, as a former studio photo-artist, I know how to manipulate with the light, background and everything else that affects the final result of that perfect picture.

I know what I am doing, simply because of the gratitude I am constantly receiving from my clients. The most rewarding moments of my work, are when my clients see the results of my work. And when I see the smile on their face, or occasionally, even a drop of a tear - I know for sure - I have touched their hearts. And when those moment follows with the honest and simple "Thanks!" - those are the most happiest days of my life.
