Our ceremony and honeymoon.

My loving husband and I …..It is a long love story.

We know each other almost all life. Lyosha is the only man who can make me deeply happy when we are together.Our passion in life (after photography)is travel and I am going to share with you some pictures from our long Honeymoon vocation!
We had small ceremony (just our family and close friends) early morning and in 2 hours we were in plane flying to exotic Thailand…
We spent quite some time planning our Honeymoon and it was the trip of a lifetime!!!
If you have difficulty or absolutely have no idea how to plan perfect honeymoon voyage, I am excited to share our experience and feel free to follow our steps.
Here are destinations:
USA- Ukraine- Thailand ( Bangkok + Pattaya)- Bali Island- Komodo-Thailand (Bangkok)-Ukraine-USA

Lyosha arrived to Ukraine for ceremony because we made a decision to be with our family for this sacred moment. Then we jumped into the car and left to airport. First landing destination point of our Honeymoon was Amazing Thailand.








































Every single day was like an adventure for us … We tried real Thai cuisine "not for the tourists", we visited many colorful temples, traveled on Tuk-tuk, spent 2 nights on Kwai River in the jungles. We stayed in a floating hotel right in a middle of nowhere – just us and sounds of nature. We will never forget experience of Thai jungles. By the way, we found those Thai airlines are the best –excellent service, food and exotic flowers everywhere. Stewardesses wear bright dresses with flower in hair.
Pattaya impressed us with the night life- go-go shows, famous transvestite show, and cheap sea food and of cause – famous Thai massage.
- Our next destination was Bali Island (Indonesia) with most beautiful exotic sightseeing! When we think about the vacation – first thought to appear in Bali…Everything was perfect there- our wedding ceremony, temples, sunsets, Balinese seafood in the fishing village, cashew and beer, diving, and biggest pool with Laguna view ....I will never stop…


























































We spent amazing time on Bali and our next flight was Bali-Komodo Islands, the original habitat of the biggest lizard in the earth. I am not going to describe, pictures will tell you everything…

I love to travel!

I Love to travel...
I don’t remember, but my mother told me that I was only 8 month old when I started traveling with her.
My father served in military and we have moved from one place to another quite frequently. My mother started travel business when I was only 18 and I dedicated 5 years of my life helping her to build up and expand our company.
Such an amazing time it was! I visited so many countries and discovered for my self a whole new world. I love that special moment , that feeling, when you plane lands in airport and you are about to discover new culture, see amazing architecture, meet new people.
I think that traveling is the best hobby where you can spend your earnings.
We always do have a plan for our next destination. It is the best motivation for our business.


Here is Here is "my destinations" map. I promise I will keep updating with new places I am going to visit in a future

Amazing book!

I am so glad, this Amazing book lives on my bookshelf !!!!
I trulie reccomend to buy it if you are on proffecional way of wedding photography.

Here is some keys ingredients from book:
"You must relax enough to be yourself and exhibit your pleasure in creating art"
"Trust your intuition so that you can react"
"Good wedding photography is not about complicated posing, sumptuos backgraunds, or five lights used brilliontly. It is about exprassion, interaction and life. The rest is importent but secondary"
They give many useful information about equipment and wedding albums, discuss posing and lighting....This is realy Wedding Photographer's HANDBOOK!
