Who is Igor?

Igor is one of Studio Blue’s prime photographers but he is also my husband and life partner.  Igor has been shooting weddings since 2002 and he brings a fun and relaxed energy to every wedding he shoots.  He is genuine and helpful and takes some pretty sweet pictures.  As a naturally easy going guy, Igor strikes a great balance with wedding day chaos.  His calming personality shines right through and he leaves every wedding with a few extra “friends”.  Igor’s dedication to his art is reflected in the magically spontaneous images he captures.  With hundreds of happy wedding couples, Igor has perfected the art of being at the right place at the right time and has a natural knack for bringing out the best in everyone.  With a formal education in computer sciences and engineering and a military degree in satellite communication, Igor is well versed in technology.  He manages all of Studio Blue’s web dynamics and computer systems.  Igor keeps Studio Blue up to date on the newest technology and techniques and keeps our entire technology aspect running and state of the art. What in the world would we do without him?  -Tina
