A love-story photo session is a more thoughtful and meaningful type of engagement session. It can tell up to three stories: the meeting, the courtship, and the proposal. The stories are "scripted" by the couple and the photographer ahead of time. But while the stories are planned, they stay fun for the couple to act out because of the photojournalistic approach that I use to photograph them. In the end, the love-story, as the name implies, tells the story of the couple's relationship in pictures and creates a wonderful lasting memory for them.
I couldn't dream of a better couple than Natasha and Vova for a love-story session. Natasha's laughter was absolutely contagious! Her background in theater allowed her to stay relaxed in front of the camera. And Vova's quiet romanticism set exactly the right kind of mood for the session. They also really took the time to think through the stories and to pick out the perfect accessories and props to make each segment, photographed all in one day, tell its own story.
And now, to satisfy some curiosity that you have hopefully built up... :-)

Inna,
ReplyDeletewe want to thank you so much for a great day! Neither of us could ever imagine that taking pictures can be so much fun!! We actually felt like we were out on our first date all over again. We barely noticed that there was a camera around and this allowed as to relax and fully enjoy all the great perks of acting like kids on a playground :) Despite the freezing wind and the setting sun on the beach, you were able to effortlessly inspire us to re-create a perfect romantic atmosphere. In fact, we completely forgot how cold San Francisco's beaches are at night and didn't want to leave. Love Story in pictures is definitely a very unique and a wonderful idea. The pictures truly captured our personalities as they unfold a beautiful romantic story. We absolutely love your work and already can't wait to see the wedding day pictures! Although, having the actual wedding first would be helpful ;)
See you soon at the wedding!
Natasha and Vova
Wow I loved them! You are really good! I loved the little story plots inside the photos as you follow them along, like Natasha dropping the scarf or when she loses her earring on the beach and Vova surprises her with a ring... hahah. So cute. My favorites were the beach photos but they were all amazing overall! :D
