Hi! I'm Roman
Freelance photographer from Moscow Russia.
Moved to United States two years ago, right now looking for any collaborations!
I'm all about documenting the romantic, the sappy, the goofy, the in-between moments that you'll look back on years from now and cherish the most. I shoot the majority of the day with a photojournalistic approach, help you foster real, raw, unposed and genuine emotional portraits, and of course get those classic must-have formals.

Q&A
I asked my wife Kate to ask me some questions so that you could get to know me better.
For me, it's a privilege to be a part of such a significant moment in people's lives. I get to witness the culmination of their love story and capture the memories they'll cherish forever. It's incredibly rewarding to see the joy on their faces when they receive their wedding photos, knowing I helped them preserve those precious moments.
It's also a challenge I enjoy - the pressure to get the perfect shots, the need to adapt to different situations and lighting, and the constant creativity involved in finding unique perspectives and angles. It's a mix of artistry, technical skill, and passion that I find incredibly fulfilling.
It all started with a friend's wedding, and I was so captivated by the emotions and joy of the day that I knew I wanted to share that experience with others. It's amazing to be part of such a significant moment in people's lives and capture it in a way that they'll cherish forever.
As I got older, I started taking photography classes and experimenting with different techniques. I even had a photography blog for a while, showcasing my work and sharing tips with others.
But it was actually a friend's wedding that really solidified my desire to be a wedding photographer. I was so moved by the love and laughter of the day, and I realized that I wanted to help others capture those precious memories.
I'm very unobtrusive during the ceremony and reception, capturing everything from the sweet moments between the couple to the fun and laughter of the guests. I also love to incorporate the couple's personal style and details into the photos.
Ultimately, my goal is to create beautiful, timeless images that reflect the unique love story of each couple. I want them to look back on their wedding photos and feel all the joy and excitement of that special day all over again.

Oh my goodness, I just received our wedding photos from Roman and Kate, and I am absolutely over the moon! Roman and Kate have this amazing ability to put everyone at ease, and it really shows in the photos. They managed to capture the essence of our relationships with our friends and family, and those shots are some of my absolute favorites. It's like they have this magical way of not just taking photos, but creating memories that will last a lifetime. Sending you both a virtual hug and a million thank you's! You are simply the best!
With love and appreciation,

Roman and Kate were absolutely fantastic!!!
They truly understood our vision and our photos reflected exactly what we had in mind - they were vibrant, unique, and full of energy! Not only were Roman and Kate incredibly talented, but they were also a pleasure to work with. We had a few meetings with them prior to the big day, and they always made us feel at ease, despite our nerves. I wholeheartedly recommend Roman and Kate to anyone looking to steer clear of traditional, run-of-the-mill wedding photos.
