OK, so I'm a bit like a teenager at the moment seeing a pop start that they love but seriously I love your wonderful clean looking photos, great use of natural light etc etc, they really do inspire me. Sure, I can't get anywhere like the results you do, but they give me something to aim for.
If I remember correctly you shoot mainly primes, is that still the case? What bodies (Nikon it was) and lenses are your choice now?
Sorry for the questions but seriously it's great to find where you hang out
Getting on to this gallery, the image processing is lovely and clean as expected and you've done a great job of capturing the day. I like the natural shots better than the posed if I'm honest as the posed of the couple are a bit rigid.
OK, I will shut up now, but really glad you post here and glad I joined recently

Aleksandras is one of our greatest treasures here at dgrin! If you look at his profile and look through his past posts/treads you will find the answers to most of your questions. He doesn't post a lot here, but keeps us well updated on recent photo sets. There aren't too many people here who don't get all giddy like yourself when they see his work... inspiration isn't even the word. Welcome BTW!
Aleksandras, thanks again friend. Another stunning set!!

I agree, and as I said I was just so shocked/excited/stoked to find him posting on a board I was on after many years of initially seeing his work and wishing one day to be 1/4 as good. I'm still not there yet but pleased to find him posting still.
Thanks for the welcome, I've got a wedding of my own on Mon (pre wedding shoot tomorrow), don't expect wonderful things on the wedding day as here in Egypt it is basically only reportage as the formal is done in a studio (crazy).

Educate yourself like you'll live forever and live like you'll die tomorrow.

Ever think of showing a bride what wedding photography cCOULD look like and convincing them to take a little walk with you. Studio is -0- fun for me... I don't think I would even be a photog if that was how it is here!

Not wishing to take over Aleksandras' thread or detract from the amazing photos. I should have said I don't have a studio here, I'm living here for the short term and people only hire me for engagement/pre wedding location shoots or church reportage, I miss out on the studio side completely. As yet no one has been brave enough to break from tradition and skip the studio for location. They do studio before going to the church then after the service it is straight to the reception. Due to the temperature most weddings are evening past sunset. I have a bit of time left here so hopefully someone will see the light before i'm back in the UK.

A moment caputred forever
I want to apologize for the delayed response. Now I travel a lot and, therefore, physically can not always respond in time.
The past week I was in Russia. And not just in Russia but in its deep province. I spent the workshop. This trip is a long time been prepared and agreed upon, was attended by many members. It was pretty interesting. But, unfortunately, it so happened that I was virtually excommunicated from the Internet.
On the issues ...
Yes, I still shoot on Nikon. I like wide open aperture and natural light.
Yes, I am member of the community photo.net But with this resource I turned an embarrassment. I almost do not know English. Therefore my comments is quite short and I can not engage in lengthy discussions. In most cases just to show my photos. As a result, the administration of the resource photo.net felt my as self advertised face. <script id="gtbTranslateElementCode">var gtbTranslateOnElementLoaded;(function(){var lib = null;var checkReadyCount = 0;function sendMessage(message, attrs) { var data = document.getElementById("gtbTranslateElementCode");

Scrolling through this album provides a remarkable education in the use of depth of field to control the viewer's eye and simplify a complex scene. Superb.
