Gulnara Studio has been awarded 2010 WeddingWire Bride’s Choice Award !!!
Thank you all so much!
Official Press Release:
WeddingWire, the nation’s leading wedding technology company, just announced Gulnara Studio has been selected to receive the WeddingWire 2010 Bride’s Choice Awards™ for Wedding Photography!
The annual Bride’s Choice Awards recognizes and celebrates excellence in quality and service within the wedding industry, as determined by recent reviews and extensive surveys from over 500,000 newlyweds.
Gulnara Studio is among the top five percent of all vendors in the WeddingWire community, which includes over 100,000 wedding professionals across the US and Canada. Awards were given to winners across 19 different service categories, from wedding venues to wedding photographers.
“We are excited to recognize and honor the success of the top wedding professionals within the WeddingWire Community” said Timothy Chi, WeddingWire’s Chief Executive Officer. “The annual Bride’s Choice Awards program has given us the unique opportunity to highlight the best wedding professionals in each region as reviewed by brides and grooms who have utilized their services in the past year.”
We are happy to announce that Gulnara Studio is among the very best within the WeddingWire Network, which includes WeddingWire and Martha Stewart Weddings. We would like to thank our past newlyweds for nominating us for the 2010 Bride’s Choice Awards.
Now that the wedding season is over some of you may wonder what do wedding photographers do off season. I only shoot 25 weddings a year and it may sounds like I only work 25 days a year. True? Wrong!!!!
I have no weddings to shoot in December but I am finishing up the last two weddings I recently shot, designing and retouching 11 albums ( believe me, this a lot!), processing print orders, working on a new website. Plus marketing, networking and meeting new and old clients.
Joe Milton, who runs ISPWP, great organization of wedding photographers I belong to, recently published a survey on the ISPWP blog:

Official Press Release:
WeddingWire, the nation’s leading wedding technology company, just announced that Gulnara Studio has won the 2009 Bride’s Choice Awards™!
In its inaugural year, the Bride’s Choice Awards recognizes and honors vendors from the WeddingWire Network that demonstrate excellent quality of service, responsiveness, professionalism, value of cost and flexibility. This year’s recipients represent the top three percent of WeddingWire’s vendor community, which includes over 100,000 wedding vendors from across the US. That means Gulnara Studio is one of the very best wedding studios out there.
Unlike other awards in which winners are selected by the company, the Bride’s Choice Awards are determined exclusively by recent newlyweds through surveys and reviews.
“We are excited to launch this annual award program to honor high-performing vendors based solely on the experiences of our WeddingWire community,” according to Timothy Chi, WeddingWire’s Chief Executive Officer. “This year’s recipients have set the bar high, exhibiting excellent service and expertise in the wedding industry.”
Gulnara Studio would like to thank our past clients for speaking on our behalf and helping us win the 2009 Bride’s Choice Award!

Since I don’t have the original PDFs, the images had to be taken with a camera. Please forgive the quality.
Liza and Stepan look FABULOUS on a photo from the same magazine.

I was checking my web stats and found allot of traffic coming from www.best-foto.ru. I checked it out and was pleasantly surprised to see my studio name with six others as the best wedding photographers, according to the website’s independent opinion poll. One of us is my ever favorite Joe Buissink who I admire very much as a photographer and as a person. Joe has been a favorite wedding photographer among celebrities such as Jennifer Lopez, Jessica Simpson & Nick Lachey, Brendan Fraser, Kelsey Grammer, Hillary Swank & Chad Lowe, Christina Applegate, Jenny Garth & Peter Facinelli, and Christina Aguilera. I was thrilled to meet him last year in Las Vegas.
