Unscripted, Unfiltered, Unforgettable LIFE in pictures
I’m Vital Wilsh, the creative force behind Aesthetic Sabotage, where candid moments and genuine emotions are everything. I believe in photography that feels like a memory—something in the moment, perfectly imperfect, and timeless. Based in Los Angeles, I specialize in weddings and elopements.
Aesthetic Sabotage approach is:
absolutely no strict or boring posing
gentle hints and smooth directions with lots of genuine
interactions that help you relax and let you be yourselves in front of a camera
no forced smiling, “must-get,” or “cookie-cutter” shots
I like learning about my couples’ interactions, quirks, and nuances as we spend time together. This way, we capture something more than just beautiful pictures. It’s about creating a meaningful, engaging, and heartwarming visual story of your love.
Now, a quick summary about me. I was born and raised in Lviv, Ukraine. In 2014, just after we turned 18, my girlfriend and I moved to the US to follow the American Dream. We have been through a lot over the last 10 years, but we are so lucky to be here: we are pursuing our dreams; we both went through the exhausting citizenship process and became US citizens; we got married in New York, and it was an intimate city-hall elopement; Tereza is on her path to becoming a medical doctor, and I am fortunate to call myself an artist and entrepreneur.
Aesthetic Sabotage started from a tiny bedroom in July 2019, and despite me still writing this piece from a small bedroom, I am proud to say that Aesthetic Sabotage has survived COVID lockdowns, has grown to multiple photo & video teams, and expanded from New York to California.
ARTISTIC style
DRIVEN BY the perfectly imperfect BEAUTY OF life
I have been to more than 20 countries on different continents and have visited 40+ states thanks to three cross-country trips in the US. Nothing inspires me more than discovering new places and meeting new people.
PHOTOGRAPHY AS CREATIVE OUTLET
With Aesthetic Sabotage, you won’t just get photos or videos; you’ll get a heartfelt representation of your special day, filled with moments you’ll cherish forever. Capturing the details and atmosphere of your day is as important as the first look with your dad, family portraits, and your first kiss.
PERSPECTIVE INFLUENCED BY CLASSICAL ART
Aesthetic Sabotage stands out by discovering something extraordinary in every wedding. We thrive on capturing raw, unscripted moments in documentary style. At the same time, we embrace classical posing, careful work with light and shadow, and the timeless aspect of clean, natural colors and tones.
35mm, medium format, & super 8 film
Nothing comes close to the feel, depth, and colors of real film stock. That’s why we offer 35mm, medium format, and Super 8 film to couples who appreciate the slower pace, intention, and dedication that film photography presents.
