About Boris Zharkov Photography

Hey, I’m Boris!

I live north of San Francisco with my wife Sophia and our two boys, Jacob and Gregory.
I love photographing people and documenting life. It is my passion. People were always my main source of inspiration. Human stories always fascinated me. Everyone has their story, one that creates individuality, their face, their expression.

When I first started taking photos, I never aspired to be a wedding photographer. Photojournalism and editorial work are what I pictured myself doing. I worked with magazines for some time, shooting editorial assignments. And I still do. For me, inspiration and ideas come from my exposure to these other forms of photography, and every time I shoot a wedding, I am not just capturing beautiful emotional images with great light and composition. I try to tell a story.
When I am photographing a wedding, I always focus on the authentic, emotional, often imperfect moments and create images that will not just "look" great but will make you feel something. They will be your memories of this day.
