Overview

Hey Everyone! Thanks for stopping by!
I'm a Photographer and a cinematographer based in NYC. I like to travel and will move easily anywhere in the world to capture beautiful images, still or in motion. I spent most of my childhood in a movie center because of my father - a movie director himself. The result is I'm addicted to film and cutting the boring part of life in general. I love music and my work. I believe every event is unique and I avoid routine as much as I can.

Let's talk more on the phone or in person!
Best, Blaga :)

It was an honor to work with Blaga and her crew.

First of all, they are so kind and understanding of everything that it goes during the whole wedding, and her advice during the event, pre and post were incredible. 

In our meetings before the event, she listened to what we wanted, and she over delivered

We wanted to enjoy our wedding day and not spend too much time in pictures, and we said that we wished candid photos of the event.

The results are incredible; she captured moments in the wedding in a way that only she can do, I am a photography aficionado, and that is what I wanted in the pictures, capture a moment in time.

Not only that, the artistic approach of what she accomplished in the time that we gave her was fantastic.

We enjoyed working with Blaga as she was wonderful, easy to work with, professional and very caring! Cant wait to see the final product of the pictures & video film. Her engagement photo of the happy couple made it into the New York Times! Now that is an Honor in itself! A pleasure to work with! Highly Recommend!!

Blaga was an amazing wedding photographer. She has a wonderful, calming energy, and make us feel at ease while doing incredible photography work of our wedding at multiple locations.

I liked how direct and efficient she was to work with over email/text - she never wasted my time!

I can't recommend her highly enough.

Blaga and Dimi were the most fun, professional, personable and helpful team I could have asked for.
With Blaga's coaching we took beautiful, quality photographs and were able to capture all those special moments. She even had a trick for my toddler to keep her eyes open.
I am incredibly satisfied with our experience using Lush Life Film and would recommend them anytime.

I wish I could give 100 stars instead of 5!! Blaga and her amazing team helped to make our wedding amazing!!! To me, pictures and video are two of the most important aspects because most spend a good amount of time taking pictures on your wedding day and you and your family will be looking back at those pictures to remember your special day forever! We have received countless compliments on our pictures and videos from our guests and social media friends. My husband and I considered at least 4 or 5 other photographers before picking Lush Life Film. The moment I called Blaga I felt that she really cares. We met the next day and had no doubt that she and her team will be capturing our big day. I absolutely loved how all pictures and video came out. The best part is that Blaga and her team were so nice, down to earth, and made us feel so comfortable! As a bride and groom, your are often pulled in so many directions on your big day between your guests and photographer you almost forget to breath, relax and enjoy yourselves. Blaga and her team made our day so much easier and enjoyable. They were SUPER ORGANIZED and knew exactly how much time we needed to spend taking pictures and how we wanted them, we had backup plans for different scenarios and it worked out perfectly!! And, best of all... we got my pictures and video so FAST!! The level of PROFESSIONALISM Blaga and her team showed us was exceptional. It keeps the fun of the wedding going on for longer when you have your pictures and video to enjoy!! A big thank you to Lush Life Film for capturing the precious moments that we can still enjoy.

What to expect

I could offer my photography or video service /occasionally both/for your event. This includes the candid shots /documentary style/, the traditional photography/filming with all the family posing and I include more artistic photography/filming.

I can offer to print a custom made album with up to 50 photographs if you choose the photography package. You'll receive by mail a CD with both print and Internet quality photos after I've edited them. The album will come with them if you choose to get one. I place no water marks on my photographs.

I'll also give you all the video footage I filmed if one day you wish to make a different editing for example on client's hard drive. I can edit as a final product one short and one long version of the film. There will be some audio from the event and background music by your choice.

I can also offer video more as a documentary, with wishes/interviews from the guests. Just depends on what you need. It takes extra time to edit and film a documentary style video, that's why the price little bit higher.

I'm open to do the serves clients imagine to have, I accept any referrals if you have already liked a product and you want me to work in a similar direction.

For more information, please do contact me :)
