I am really excited for this post because these two beautiful people are my friends.  You may remember them from the very long “five looks” post I did this summer.  Max is a good friend of mine and an amazing videographer who labored very tough long hours making my tutorial dvd, so I thought it would be fair if I did some extra work and posted more pictures than usual.  Galina is also a great friend. About six months before the wedding she asked me – “What kind of wedding dresses look best in pictures?”.  I told her that the best dresses are those that are made from material that doesn’t reflect a lot of light (for example, silky material reflects light and thus is not good for pictures).  Well it turns out that she did already buy a dress that had “picture unfriendly” material, and she decided to get another dress just so that the pictures look good.  With these kinds of sacrifices, how can I not pour my heart into every image.  And I did.
