We craft elegant, soulful wedding films & photographs for couples who value feeling as much as beauty.
The Zatonsky Journey
We are Mikhail and Kate — partners in life and in art. Since 2012, our cameras have taken us from quiet villages in Asia to the sunlit coastlines of California. What began as two people chasing moments has grown into a creative family based in Los Angeles.
Travel reshaped how we see: cultures, traditions, light, and landscapes widened our perspective. Each story carries not only your day — but a small piece of that journey, too.
Our Creative Philosophy
Weddings surround us with pure happiness — laughter, vows, families uniting. That atmosphere inspires us every time. Even after more than a decade we still feel butterflies before a wedding; but the moment we step into the bride’s room, the nerves vanish and we dive into the flow.
We chase the light, anticipate emotions, and look for frames that feel both beautiful and true. We don’t stage life — we follow it, gently. The result we love most is simple: a film or a set of photographs that makes you feel your day again.
What Drives Us
We love making things — even building this very site is a creative joy. Every project lets us put a piece of ourselves into something meaningful.
Time is precious. We choose to spend it where it matters: with happy people on days filled with love, creating work that will live on in their families.
Our Vision
Wedding stories should be more than a record of the day — they should carry emotion across time. We aim for films and photographs that still move you in ten, twenty years: refined, intimate, and true.
Meet Our Team
Zatonsky Moments is more than the two of us. Behind every wedding stands our trusted crew of videographers, photographers, editors, and color artists.
On your day you may meet not only Mikhail and Kate — and that’s a good thing. Everyone on our team shares the same care, taste, and calm presence.
