Anatoliy K Weddings

Anatoliy is from Kazakhstan, where he studied transportation technology at Karaganda State Technical University, before getting his MFA in filmmaking from New York Film Academy. Susie is from LA, and she studied molecular & cellular biology at Harvard University (along with film and animation), before getting her MS in computer science from UChicago. While we were both in engineering, deep down, we always had a passion for storytelling. And one day, we decided that life was far too short for us not to do what we loved: creating and sharing real stories.

During important family moments, getting ready, first look, and other intimate times, we strive to be as invisible as possible, using long lenses and allowing you both to enjoy the day without feeling like you’re constantly being watched by a camera. During the romantic sessions, we bring in a more editorial approach, directing you as much as you need or want. Every couple has different comfort levels in front of a camera, and we’ll make sure you feel comfortable! While posing is a natural part of wedding photography, our focus is on capturing the real moments that reflect your personality and how you would naturally interact with each other
