Xenia and Rinat: I loves me some Russian goth weddings

I found this amazing wedding in my referral logs, of all places. Russian photographer Anna Kovaleva captured this February wedding of a young couple from Ufa named Xenia and Rinat.

Is anyone else having Pushba & Grater flashbacks? I'm getting this warped impression of young Russia as being occupied exclusively by hot gothic couples in platform boots and hair extensions.

I've got a few more shots from this gothic Russian courthouse wedding for you…

To see tons and tons of images, head on over to Anna Kovaleva's site. And stay tuned for the full story… one of Anna's English-speaking friends has agreed to play translator for us. 🙂
