My journey to becoming a photographer began years ago when I started working at a local portrait photo studio as a teenager. I've completed their photo academy training where I learned the art of portrait photography and eventually became a photographer trainer. I began taking photos of my friends getting married when I was in high school and continued to develop photography skills throughout college. I enjoyed taking photos of friends who were getting married and fell in love with weddings since then and knew that's what I wanted to do with my life. After graduating from university with a photography degree, I knew I had to pursue my dreams as a wedding photographer so I started this business,

Looking back, I can see how so much of my life was preparing me for this passion that became my career. As a child I attended an art school in Saint Petersburg, Russia where I learned drawing, painting and sculpting. I've had an eye for everything art since childhood. 

It has taken more than 10 years to grow the business to where it is today. I have been published in wedding magazines and international luxury wedding blogs. These accolades are special, yet the most meaningful parts of my business are the people I have met along the way. I wouldn’t be where I am today without the incredible people I have had the opportunity to photograph.

It is rewarding to look back and see how far I have come over the years, but it is even more exciting to look towards the future as I dream up new possibilities. The best is yet to come. I truly believe that the future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.

This is is my story. I look forward to using my story to create an experience that tells your special story!

Bonjour!

Hi, I'm Anna!

I love spending a snowy day on the slopes snowboarding or skiing with my family. A perfect rainy day activity is admiring art and history at a museum. When traveling I love experiencing authentic cuisine and immersing in the local culture.

Sometimes I have to pinch myself when I think of how blessed I am with my family! I've been married since 2006 and we have two adorable boys that always keep us entertained!

I studied abroad in Paris during college, and it was there that I fell in love with the City of Lights. It reminded me of the beautiful Saint Petersburg, Russia, where I was born and raised. Now, I frequently travel to both Paris and Rome— it is nice having a quick, direct flight!
My passion for travel fuels my excitement for destination wedding photography, especially in iconic locations like Paris, sunny Provence, Rome, Tuscany region and Florence, Venice, Positano and Ravello on the Amalfi Coast. Capturing love stories in these breathtaking European settings is one of my greatest joys.
