This week we are excited to feature Shakar Bakery on our blog! We recently met Shantal, owner of Shakar Bakery and we fell in love with her work! Shakar Bakery specializes in designer cakes that are unique and customized to your specifications and you can find out all about her work on the Shakar Bakery listing on Harsanik.com. We were very intrigued when we found out that Shantal has a Master's degree in engineering and relatively recently switched her career from engineering to baking! So we spent some time getting to know Shantal and we wanted to share her interesting background with all of you, along with her beautiful work!

This week we're excited to feature a fashion designer who specializes in bridesmaid dresses, custom wedding gowns, and party attire! Her name is Anoushka Alden and we recently came across her gown designs on her Etsy shop and fell in love with her style. So we took the time to get to know Anoushka and asked her to share with us her most recent experience making bridesmaid dresses for a wedding in Palm Springs, CA for a couple named Natalie and Chris. 

With summer wedding season in full swing we had a chance to catch up with Sahak of Sahak Photography. One look at Sahak’s portfolio and it's clear that every photo shoot is a unique and memorable experience. The pictures Sahak take are more than just images, he captures moments. We wanted to know how he takes these gorgeous images and captures that perfect moment with that perfect shot.

We recently came across some amazing photos by Jay Jay Productions and we were excited to share it with our users. Jay Jay Productions recently shot a "Trash the Dress" session in Armenia! For those of you not familiar with "Trash the Dress" sessions, it's a photo shoot after the wedding where the bride wears her wedding dress and takes photos in locations where she is destroying her dress.

Wedding season is here again and we’re blogging about our favorite finds and trends this season. We recently discovered Azature Fine Chocolates that have hit the wedding world by storm. In just 3 months of being launched, Azature’s edible diamond pralines have been a hit with bridal magazines, celebrities and us!

After the last toast is made, the last dance is danced and your guests have all gone home, your wedding photos and film will be the reminder of your beautiful day.  Photography and cinematography are the two mediums that will document your wedding and preserve the memories of that special occasion.  We are excited to welcome Vic Studios to the Harsanik.com family.  The combination of Vic Studios’ formal education in photography and cinematography combined with over twenty years of experience is apparent in the gorgeous photos and films produced by Vic Studios.  We invite you to take a look at Vic Studios’ entire portfolio.
