Thanks!

Brilliant and amazing work as always!

Jaw dropping good.

Quite nice as usual.

One suggestion. You have a picture where the groom / husband is caught on camera looking right at the woman in black's ta-tas. You might want to remove this one. ...his wife will notice sooner or later. It's obvious that he's catching a peep.

Thanks for sharing. Just some food for thought.

Beautiful work! Out of curiosity, does the bride and groom meet before the church??

Looking at your images it seems like they met and walked to the church together. This isn't done in the US for a formal church wedding.

I sure would like to shadow you two for a day!!

Being a female, it looks like there are 2 pictures where he "appears" to be sneaking a peak...:oogle
These are beautiful as always!

OUTSTANDING!
What an inspiration. Always.

I love how you incorporate the city and its people into the shots.



As to the comment above--He is definately sneaking a peek. Who wouldn't! I even stared, ya can't help yourself, they're so there. Don't know that I would have included that one in the package though .

Great as always AB!!! Noticed you were using people as foreground blur/secondary subject more in this set. I'm wondering if that was a concious decesion?

Aleksandras, there is one major problem every time you post...... which is I annoy my wife by going on about how much I like you photos, how clean they are, how I would love to get even a fraction as good as you.

Wonderful wonderful series of shots, very impressed as ever!!!

Looking at photos like these make me want to give up. No way in a million years could my work rival this. Outstanding job.

But if you give up now, no way in a million years will your work ever be able to rival this

Awesome set as usual, Aleksandras! Lighting is always so yummy!

Sam,

Most wedding that occur in Eastern Europe aren't even done in a church. Usually the couple meets at home of the bride, where she waits for the groom.Then by some traditions he has to pay to get the bride(old tradition, some do it some don't). Then together with the bridal party, friends, and family, they go to a justice of peace sort of place called zaks(in russian, not sure in how its called in other countries) where they are married. Afterwards the couple with the bridal party travels around the city and take many pictures(photography is huge deal in this culture). They then go to a reception place and party out. For some, a church wedding is also important so they will also travel to church and conduct a church ceremony. Usually after the justice of peace ceremony is concluded. Sometimes these are done on different dates, other times they are on the same day.
Anyone can correct me if I'm wrong, but that's what was happening while I lived in Ukraine.

Thank you friends for your compliments. Frankly, they inspire me and help in my work. I especially appreciate the opinion of this community.
Regarding this series of photographs. The wedding was held in Lithuania in Kaunas. This is the bride's hometown. Zivile born and raised in Kaunas. Groom, Gediminas, arrived in time to study in Kaunas. Thus, their paths crossed. They met, became friends. Then they left Lithuania. For several years they lived in another country. But decided to hold a wedding in the city where they met. Their fantasy was to repeat his first meeting. They met before the wedding ceremony at the same place, where was their very first date. I think it was a good idea. I love these romantic people who love pictures with meaning.
