Hi everyone! Welcome to Alex Agaryshev photography Blog.

I am based in Washington DC and available for local and destination assignments.

I hope you've already visited my website. Now you can find answers to questions you might still have here on the blog.

For me, it's a place to post my recent wedding and event photography, reflect on not so recent assignments, as well as personal work and experience directly or indirectly related to my job.

If you would like to contact me, please email me helios40@msn.com or call (202) 489-4661.

Beware requesting information about my availability indirectly through websites which may offer such an "option".

Amy & Eric (Married at Whitehall Manor)

June 27th, 2010

Amy and Eric got married at Whitehall Manor in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, VA, less than an hour from Washington, DC.

The beautiful outdoor ceremony was conducted by Cantor Jinny Marsh, who also happens to be a talented klezmer performer – her recordings are available online.

The reception took place in the 200-year-old Manor – a perfect place for bride and groom to greet each other as man and wife for the first time.

It’s Not All About Oil.

6.2.2010

Sporting an Uncle Sam like shirt and tie, Coca Cola CEO Muhtar Kent of Turkish origin, addresses 150 Chinese students at The United States Foreign Policy Coloquium.

The Colloquium is organized by the National Committee on US-China Relations and sponsored by Coca Cola.

Strobe Talbot is the key speaker at the opening of the Colloquium.

Next year 100,000 American students will study in China and 10,000 Chinese students in the U.S.

In a rapidly changing world, business and politics walk hand in glove.

The taboo joke referring to “G2 - China and the United States,” is making the rounds in the District of Columbia, and Washington has serious intentions to stay part of this tandem as long as possible.
