I am a Photographer, a Dad, a Husband, a Friend, a Family Man, a Snow Boarder, a Gamer, a Child of God’s, a Hobbyist, an Artist, an Outdoorsman, an Adventurer, a Musician, a Reader, a Nerd, a Computer Networker, an Apple Fan Boy, a Church Goer, a Russian, a Tech Geek, a Comedian, a Teacher, and a Role Model. When I’m not taking pictures of beautiful couples, I am usually taking pictures of everyt
hing else, but mostly my awesome daughter, Hannah. Based out of Rockford, Illinois, just west of Chicago. I came to Rockford with my family over 20 years ago from Belarus and have lived here ever since. I picked up my first camera when I was 15 years old and haven’t put it down since. You know the saying, “If you love what you do, you won’t have to work a day in your life”? I’m very blessed to be able to capture life in tangible memories. I shoot in a photo journalistic style, meaning, I capture the moment as it happens. I have the power to freeze the moment in time where the groom sees his beautiful bride for the first time. How awesome is that! Or when they first kiss as husband and wife. Or their first dance. A wedding day is full of beautiful and cherish-able moments. Let me do what I love, so that you have something awesome to look back on.
