Shukhrat Kamalov Photography

Wedding photographs you'll return to for fifty years. The moments you were too happy to notice, the portraits you'll frame, the room exactly as it was designed, made quietly by someone already standing where the moment is about to happen. I'm Shukhrat, based in Connecticut and photographing weddings wherever you're celebrating: Newport and the Rhode Island coast, Boston, the Berkshires, the Catskills, the Connecticut shoreline, and further afield. Every wedding has two photographers and an assistant. Digital, 35mm film and licensed aerial photography from one team, and your first gallery, around 500 finished photographs, within a week.

Most couples tell me the same thing on our first call: we're not used to being photographed. It doesn't matter. You get clear, simple direction the whole way through, and the portraits look composed without looking posed. Through the ceremony, dinner and dancing I work quietly, never in front of your parents, kneeling through the speeches, so your guests never notice the camera and the photographs still get made. Every image is edited by me: true-to-life color and a good share of black and white. Couples have told me they kept coming back to my galleries while looking at other portfolios; some are now on other couples' mood boards.
