KATYA AND KIRILL: Wedding Geographic

Her name is Katya Donova. She is the founder and creative soul behind Russian wedding agency called “Wedding Geographic”. She is the wife and mom of two beautiful kids. Katya organised multiple destination weddings for her guests, but never had a chance to celebrate her own somewhere far and beautiful. During her visit to South Africa we decided to celebrate their 4 year wedding anniversary in a real “Wedding Geographic” style. What a privilege to photograph Katya and Kirill. Making other people’s wedding dreams come true here in South Africa is a blessing. Jenya Zhivaleva Photography is a proud representative of Wedding Geographic in SA.

Wedding Geographic

Ее зовут Катя Донова. Катя является основателем, творческой душой свадебного агентства “Wedding Geographic” и мамой двух очаровашек. Она организовала не одну свадьбу для своих гостей, но не было шанса отпраздновать ее собственную где-то далеко и красиво. Во время ee визита в Южную Африку, мы решили отметить четырехлетнюю годовщину свадьбы Кати и Кирилла в формате “Wedding Geographic ”. Одно удовольствие фотографировать ребят в такой красоте. Jenya Zhivaleva Photography с гордостью представляет ЮАР на карте мира агентства свадебных приключений “Wedding Geographic”.

RHODES FAMILY SHOOT

What a special experience that was. Beautiful Rhodes family photographed at the Wilderness beach, Garden Route, South Africa.
This young family already expecting their second child. It was a very special moment when little sister after playing on the beach ran to her mom to give a kiss to her future sister/brother in the tummy. Oh those moments are so precious and so worth capturing. We ran, we jumped over the waves, we played, we laughed and stood in awe watching magnificent sunset over the ocean.

YULIA AND VITALIY

Yulia and Vitaliy are a Russian couple who travelled through the Garden Route of South Africa last month. Yulia contacted me for a love story photoshoot in Mossel Bay.
Her idea was to create romantic photographs that will focus on vastness, beauty and landscapes of South Africa. They were fascinated by this country and wanted some memories of their travels together. Here is what we created.

There is always something magical in photographing couples who expect a baby. So much love, care and excitement in the air, that you are simply bathing in it. Thank you Annie and Pieter for a wonderful experience.
