Alik+Olya :: Engaged :: Pevek, Chukotka Jan 20th | Sasha Leahovcenco HIDE POST

I would never imagine that one day I will photograph engagement session literally on the end of the earth. Yet, a week ago I came back from Pevek - northest city in Russia where I photographed engagement of my two good friend - Alik and Olya.
I met Alik in Fresno, CA where we went to the same school, and Olya is a good friend of mine back from Moldova. Both of them decided to move to North for a long-term mission serving people of Chukotka.
Olya and Alik decided to make their engagement very special, so they dressed in national Chukotka clothes.

Here are some of my favorites:

Serge+Natalie :: You+We Session :: San-Francisco, CA Dec 19th | Sasha Leahovcenco HIDE POST

27 votes vote for this image

Serge and Natalie are good friends of mine, and last Friday we decided to get out of town (Sacramento, CA) and visit San-Francisco. Weather was just perfect; 62F in December, that was a miracle.
As they haven't had photos taken for a long time, we decided to go to Golden Gate Bridge and take couple of pictures. We spent half an hour taking some photos and just enojoying beautiful sunset.
After a good dinner and premier of Mission Impossible we decided to stop at the Treasure Island and take night shot of the downtown in the background.
Here are some of my favorite:

Jair+Jackie :: Married :: Sacramento, CA Nov 07th | Sasha Leahovcenco HIDE POST

53 votes vote for this image

First time I met Jair and Jackie in Napa Valley when I was taking photos of their engagement. We spent there a little bit over an hour, but I could see that they are one loving and wonderful couple, and their wedding will rock. And it did!
Jair and Jackie decided to get married in the beautiful Cathedral of the Blessed Sacramento, and celebrate their big day in amazing Old Governor's Mansion in downtown Sacramento. It was a beautiful place which was built back in 1877. Reception was full of laughter, energy and dancing. I'm really glad I could be part of Jair and Jackie's big celebration.
Big thanks to my friend Alex Dzhumara who was helping me that day,

Ilya+Victoria :: Married :: Las-Vegas, NV Oct 31st | Sasha Leahovcenco HIDE POST

58 votes vote for this image

It all started when I got e-mail from Ilya about 5 month ago saying that him and Victoria are planning to fly all the way from Vladivostok, Russia to get married in Las Vegas. I called him the same day around 2 am due to the different time zones, and 15 minutes into the conersation I knew that it will be an amazing wedding. And it was indeed!Even though we spent only 3 days together, I can honestly say that they are my good friends. And it was a big privilidge to photograph their wedding day. We combined it with In-n-out for lunch, crazy shooting in the evening, and club and drinks instead of reception. It was a special wedding for me. Not only because it was the first wedding I photograph when there were only a bride and a groom, but also, because I was the one signing the wedding certificate as a witness.
Next day after the wedding, we decided to take a road trip to the sunny coast of California. Even though it wasn't sunny that day, yet we had a lot of fun and just had good time taking photos.
Also, wanted to say thank you to my friend Igor, who was my assistant and a drive for the whole trip.Here are some of my favorite photos from the wedding day. I hope you enjoy.

Weston+Jessica :: Married :: Gainesville, GA Oct 19th | Sasha Leahovcenco HIDE POST

77 votes vote for this image

Not on every wedding you see guys playing soccer early in the morning instead of sleeping in or the bride and groom serving their favorite coffee and tea to the guests. But Weston and Jessica made sure to make their wedding day special for everyone. It was unique, full of emotions and epic in too many ways to describe! It was a great provilidge to photograph this wedding, as I've been friend of Weston's family for a long time, and was honoured when they asked to fly to Gainesville to photograph this wedding.

Vlad+Anna :: Married :: San-Francisco, CA Oct 10th | Sasha Leahovcenco HIDE POST

76 votes vote for this image

I have to admit, this was one of my favorite weddings of the year! It was full of energy and excitement, and honestly a whole load of craziness! Anna was a stunning bride and made for lots of beautiful photos with her great smile accompanied by Vlad's witty humour. Thanks to my friend and fellow photographerMC Studios, who invited me to photograph this gorgeous wedding along with him.
Here are some of my favorite photos from the wedding.ampersant;nbsp;
