Today’s feature photo comes to us from Asya Shirokova, a photographer and Zookbinders customer from downtown Philadelphia, PA.
Maria and Danny got married at the West Chester Historical Society on July 16th, 2011. Asya describes the bride as “one of the most creative brides I have ever met!” Given this insight, perhaps it’s no surprise that she found a minister with a 12 inch tall hot pink mohawk and a tattoo on is left hand that reads “his and hers” (he is relatively new at being a minister and hopes his look will land him interesting work).
Besides her creativity, Asya has one other thing in common with her bride, and that is that she too is a newlywed. “Being married myself has definitely changed my approach to shooting weddings. I am so much more observant and understanding of all of the moments, and the moments between those moments. I take the time to get to know my clients, their own unique story, their style, what is important to them, how they want to remember this day. And the imagery I create reflects their story. It comes so naturally, because I feel I have been there, in their shoes, wrapped up in all of the energy, the beautiful chaos, the emotions, the excitement. You want someone there with you who understands that, and more importantly someone who knows how to capture that in the most beautiful, intimate way.”
Asya uses Zookbinders to provide her customers quality and affordable albums from our LustreBook, PhotoBook and PhotoBook Plus catalogs.
