Who We Are
We are Oleksandr and Kateryna, the husband-and-wife team behind 5 Thousand Frames Films.
With more than 15 years of experience and over 600 weddings documented, we specialize in creating timeless photography and cinematic films for couples who appreciate style, authenticity, and meaningful storytelling.
Oleksandr leads the filmmaking side of the studio. With a background in television, a degree in Video, Audio, and Cinema Technology, and ongoing studies in directing and cinematography, he approaches weddings with a true cinematic vision. His signature style includes the use of manual cinema lenses and carefully crafted imagery inspired by film.
Kateryna is our photographer, creative director, and colorist. Since 2014, she has been documenting weddings and refining her artistic approach through constant learning in posing, editing, and visual storytelling. Her eye for color, emotion, and elegant composition helps create the timeless look our couples love.
Together with a trusted network of talented photographers and filmmakers, we intentionally accept only a limited number of weddings each year to ensure every couple receives our full attention and the highest level of care.
For us, every wedding is more than an event — it's a story worth preserving beautifully.
WHO ARE WE FOR
You appreciate beautiful imagery and have a sense of style. You value quality over quantity and understand that a few exceptional photographs are worth far more than thousands of average ones.
You don't need endless galleries filled with repetitive images. You want the moments that matter most — thoughtfully curated and beautifully preserved.
Whether you love being in front of the camera or feel a little uncomfortable, that's perfectly okay. We feel the same way ourselves. You don't need modeling experience, and you'll never be forced into awkward poses. Everything we create is guided naturally, allowing you to feel relaxed and truly present.
You appreciate stylish films with a touch of fashion, a touch of luxury, and a cinematic atmosphere. You're not looking for hours of static footage capturing every second of the day. Instead, you want something that feels like a beautiful blend of a timeless film and the kind of elegant visuals you see in luxury campaigns and perfume commercials.
You also believe that more equipment doesn't automatically create a better film. You don't want four tripods scattered around your ceremony or a production that feels like a television broadcast. You're looking for cinema, not a TV show.
Our approach is intentional and unobtrusive. Rather than covering every angle with unnecessary cameras, we carefully choose the best perspectives and focus on creating imagery with purpose. Sometimes one or two thoughtfully placed cameras are all that's needed to create something truly beautiful.
Most importantly, you want to trust experienced professionals, let go of the stress, and simply enjoy your wedding day while we take care of preserving it beautifully.
Because the best photographs and films happen when you're not performing — you're simply living the moment.
