Wedding photos from 1980s in Russia

In Russia, where I came from, I was shooting allot of weddings in- now very popular- "photojournalistic style". I am still unpacking my boxes from the recent move and thought to show you few wedding photos from almost 20 years ago :-)
Please pardon the quality. I don't have a scanner at a moment and all those shots are from actual photos that I made in an old fashion darkroom ages ago. I will be posting more as I go.


This one was my favorite and the best seller with art collectors, I even oil painted it during my "hand painted photographs" period :-)







This one was my favorite bride. About 6 months after her wedding I got a call from her again to take her wedding pictures. She was getting married- again!

Those are some beautiful pictures. It is interesting to see some happiness even during such a time of oppression.
