About Misha

Hi, I’m Misha Pochuev — the photographer behind True Story Photography.

Before weddings, my background was in photojournalism. For more than 20 years I learned to watch closely, react quickly and tell stories as they unfolded — with work published by outlets including Time.com and The Guardian.

Eventually I realised I wanted to use that same way of seeing for something more life-affirming. Weddings gave me exactly that: real people, real emotion, chaos, humour, family, beauty, nerves, joy — all happening at once.

I also know how important these photographs become because I made one big mistake at my own wedding: I did not hire a professional photographer. That regret changed the way I think about wedding photography. These images are not just content for today; they become part of a family’s memory for decades.

My journey included long years of battling my own limitations. This battle culminated in what I call The Formula of Love, which is system of practical philosophy that I apply in my life.

 Feel free to book a free consultation with me. We’ll talk about your wedding, answer your questions, and see if we’re a good fit — no strings attached.
