Traditional Ukrainian Bride and Wedding Styled Photoshoot

The origin of the Ukrainian marriage ceremony is steeped in traditions and rituals. In Ukraine, a wedding was a three-day celebration. We had the amazing chance to be the main planner behind this styled shoot featuring Ukrainian brides in authentic Ukrainian wedding dresses as a charity event to raise funds for Ukraine donated through UNICEF.

Location:

Maxwell House in Pasadena, CA



One of our beautiful brides, Katerna, ended up getting married at a Southern CA courthouse and she still hopes to have a Ukrainian wedding once the war is over.


She told us about how she came to the U.S. as a student and some of Ukraine’s unique wedding traditions.



A portion of proceeds from this shoot went to UNICEF to help Ukraine. Here is the link if you feel compelled to donate! https://www.unicef.org/ukraine/en
