  • Welcome!

    I am a wedding photographer from South West Washington, serving Portland, OR metro area. I live in Battle Ground - a small town north from Vancouver, WA with my lovely wife and my two adorable sons. Photography has been my passion since I was little. I like photographing people, capturing great moments of their life. My main web site is theoleksandr.com. I am going to write here about all my weddings and engagement sessions as well as the other photography assignments. Clients should come back here after their weddings to check for sneak slide show previews. Also, I am going to write about new products, my life, music, etc. So, check it out to see what I have been up to lately.
    Thank you for stopping by!

Jacie + Josh = Wedding

Posted by Oleksandr Havrylyuk on May 14, 2007

I had a privilege to photograph a wedding of those two nice people last weekend in Hillsboro, OR. The whole event was very well organized by Jennifer McLin from BLUSH. Everything went smoothly and on time. Congratulations, guys! It was my pleasure to be a part of your day! Please, check out the slideshow of some of your images from that day and read my comments to images below (please, maximize your browser to see horizontal images if they look chopped out). To order prints, go to http://clients.theoleksandr.com and the password is the last name of the couple:

The rings. Jacie’s ring was custom designed and is a one of a kind.

The flowers were provided by the family member Elaina Mapes.

I’ve talked Jacie and Josh into setting up their first meeting in a park and this is Josh’s reaction when he saw Jacie for the first time that day.

After they had their first moment we took a few of their portraits:

Irena + Cameron = Wedding

Posted by Oleksandr Havrylyuk on May 9, 2007

Irena and Cameron wedding was not a typical wedding. They selected an open area in Silver Falls Park, OR as a wedding venue. The ceremony took place outside facing the forest line. Irena is a graphic designer (Am I in trouble?) and she was definitely thinking outside of the box when she was planning her wedding. Congratulations guys!

Check out the slideshow below and some of the images:

Irena was getting ready in Water Street Inn in Silverton, OR and we took an advantage of the location and snapped a few pictures in their living room:

Then we went to Silver Falls Park to take some pictures:

Shelly + Todd = Engagement

Posted by Oleksandr Havrylyuk on May 1, 2007

We didn’t get a chance to do an engagement session for Shelly and Todd before their wedding, because of Todd’s arrival from Europe a week before the wedding, so we had to do it after. Shelly and Todd selected a Lacamas Lake Park as the location. They used to spend a lot of time there, kayaking and having fun. I had a great time with them that day! They are very funny and easy to work with people! We were laughing all the time, joking and hanging around. Check it out:

Here are some of my favorites:
