the first preview of my suit!!

i decided to take a quick shot of my suit, its grey for the one reason that black in a 30-40 degree temperature wouldnt go down well with me and id be melting in my shoes. not somethign you want when getting married! but heres the picture i snapped of it:

my 48 hour day..

Wow what a day, it started at 2.40am today, after only having a 45 minute power nap before getting up again to leave for odessa, ukraine. the roads where empty as usual at anytime after 11.30 in moldova until 9 in the morning and as usual the customs gave us some bother charging us for a supposed days insurance for going into the Ukraine! it was just before 7 when we arrived at the biggest outside market in odessa. odessa is the black sea's largest import port for eastern europe and the market we went to to find lots of goodies for my wedding including my suit is also the largest outside market in eastern europe! oo what a mouth fill!




the place was buzzing int he morning and by 12 it was heaving with people and the temperature had got to have been in the high 20s. But for several hours the search was on for a suit for me and my best men, within 20 mintues we had the 2 dark grey suits for the best men and then we were looking for a lighter one for me. the colour wasnt the problem! the length of the arms where. you see a tall 6"1 thin build with basketball long arms doesnt suit suits in the ukraine or anywhere in Russia! they dont have long sleeved suits! so we had a problem. after going through about 20 other suit shops we finally found one suit which seemed to do the trick. i tried it one, got the seal of approval from the bride to be and closed the deal! :D phewww shopping it really wasnt created for men!




we then headed back on our 4 hour journey to chisinau, moldova from the market to find that we had a surpise for us. a few friends had came around and started to make a barbeque with chicken and pork! my favourite :) it was a great evening even though all of us were exhausted we still had a blast.



but now everyone is asleep apart from me and my little scary friend who joined me on my computer screen!!



but im finally off to bed. Amen! Night guys!

Appy is getting big!

A few weeks back i got my 2 month old golden retriever, since then he has grown about 20cms in length and has now became more dangerous than ever for eating everything in his way except our 6 year old german shepherd! we called him Appy which is short for apple! partly because i love apple computers and he loves apple fruits, plus he needed a name starting with the letter 'A' for his dog registration!

anyway today the little messer decided to get photogenic and allow me to take some photos with him and my fiancee!

check him out:



I think the kiss was either to scary or just boring!!





appy just relaxing and enjoying the moments!

Woohooo, my wedding invitations arrived today!! :D

Today lesya my fiancee, brought home the printed wedding invitations which we had designed 2 weeks ago. I am really pleased with them and think they look great! they are printed on high quality paper with a glossy print finish and then the inner leaf has a heavy tracing paper with fine matte grey print for our information and name. all we need now is to find a nice pen to write the invitations out!!

heres some photos of one made up:




my beautiful model showing the invitations.

dancing in the moonlight...well no, but close enough.

When i was in the centre of the city earlier this evening, i called a friend who asked me to meet her near a theatre. However what i didnt have in mind was that for the next hour i would be watching some amazing dancing from some very talented individuals. i was so lucky to have my camera along with me and so i took a few shots:











Out and About with Kiril and Olea

Yesterday we had a great shoot with kiril and olea. It was alittle late at 7 but we dashed to a local park to make as many pictures as possible! We were having a blast until the battery died! lol. a little disappointing but i think we got enough good photos!
