Founder and lead creative at Aesthetic Sabotage. Over the past 8 years, I’ve been building Aesthetic Sabotage to help couples like you feel their absolute best in front of our cameras. With a team of some of the best photographers and videographers, we are here to capture your very special day in the most natural, candid, and beautiful way. Our goal is to preserve the atmosphere of your celebration, love and excitement in every capture.
That's why our approach is:
absolutely no strict or boring posing
only gentle hints and smooth directions with laughs and real conversations that help you bring your authentic yourselves.
I like to learn my couples’ interactions, quirks, and nuances as we spend our time together. This way I strive to capture something more than just beautiful pictures. It's more about creating a meaningful, interesting, and heartwarming visual narrative of your relationship.
ASSOCIATE PHOTOGRAPHER —
VLAD BOHATSKY
Classical forms of art are my main source of inspiration when I take photographs. I look for light, geometry, and emotion when I press the shutter-release button on my camera.
The energy between two people who love each other brings happiness to my heart. I know how to be on both sides of the camera, and my priority is your confidence in what we are doing together.
More about Vital
In 2014 I moved to the US, and shortly after I decided to try myself at wedding photography. The freedom, excitement, and travel opportunities offered by this career path were the main factors that convinced me to take it seriously and make it my lifelong journey.
So I started reading even more about wedding photography, took some masterclasses and mentoring sessions from wedding and fashion photographers, and finally photographed my first wedding in 2016. Since then, I’ve photographed more than 80 weddings & elopements. My biggest pride is my happy clients and their families.
Born and raised in Lviv, Ukraine, in a family of doctors, I somehow avoided the path of going into medicine. I’ve always gravitated towards history & arts. My first attempt at photography was, like most of my generation, with my parents’ point-n-shoot film camera. In my teenage years, I considered photography one of my hobbies. I remember going to thrift stores looking for some cool old film cameras and then learning all the technical nuances and composition aspects from old photography books.
I have a super small Youtube channel where I upload my travel videos.
This clip is from my road trip to Norway. My mom and I met in Oslo, rented a car, and drove through the south and southwest of Norway all the way to Alesund and back. It was a two-week road trip and my very first attempt at filming.
