If you're here, you're most likely looking for a wedding photographer to capture your special day. Please take the time to read everything on this page and browse the galleries before making your decision. Perhaps I'm the right photographer for your wedding!
Your photographs are the only things from your wedding that will last for many, many years to come... Every photograph captures a moment in time, preserving a part of your celebration that you can revisit whenever you wish. What's more, many years from now, your children and grandchildren will be able to revisit those same moments and experience the atmosphere and emotions of your special day.
A good photographer must be able to recognize the important moments in an event and press the shutter at precisely the right time. If the shutter is pressed even a fraction of a second too late, the moment is gone forever. That's why my primary goal when photographing your wedding is to capture the moment. And not just that — I aim to capture it from the right perspective, with the right camera settings and carefully considered composition, so that each photograph becomes more than just an image. It becomes a time machine, preserving emotions, feelings, expressions, and movement.

Discounts
If you book me for both your wedding and a post-wedding photo session, you'll receive a 20% discount on the total price.
During the off-season, from November 1 to March 31, you'll receive a 20% discount on all packages.
Delivery Times
The standard delivery time for your edited photographs is within 2 months after the wedding. I usually deliver the photos sooner, but I've set a longer timeframe because sometimes my workload is quite heavy. Photo editing is not something that can simply be delegated to someone else, because nobody else will edit your photographs exactly the way I do.
So you won't have to wait anxiously for all your photographs, I'll select 15–20 of the most representative images from your wedding and deliver them a day or two after the event, giving you something to share on social media in the meantime :-)
Express editing and delivery of your photographs within 10 business days after the wedding: +€200.
Additional Services
• If you'd like, I can arrange for a second photographer. This is particularly useful for larger weddings or if you want absolutely everything captured during the preparations at both the bride's and groom's homes. The price is determined by the individual photographer. I work with several colleagues.
• Creation of a luxury A4 photo book featuring a completely ORIGINAL design, without using ready-made templates or elements. The design and prepress cost depends on the number of pages and is calculated at €10 per spread (one spread consists of 2 pages). The minimum number of spreads required for your book to look like a luxury photo book rather than a brochure is 20. Printing is charged separately and depends on the paper, cover type, and additional options such as lamination, varnishing, and other finishes.
What You'll Receive
1. Your photographs as files (on DVD or as a ZIP archive available for download online), organized into 2 separate folders:
- A folder containing all photographs in full resolution.
- A folder containing all photographs resized to 2048 px along the longest side. This is a standard size, optimized for viewing on screens, sharing on social media, and so on.
2. A password-protected online gallery hosted on my server, which you can share with your guests. The gallery will remain available for at least 1 year from the date it is uploaded.
Every photograph is personally edited by me to make it as impactful as possible. My editing is entirely based on my own aesthetic sensibilities, and I strive to bring out the very best in every image. Some photographs are converted to black and white (certain images simply look much better without color), while others may intentionally feature a shifted white balance or subtle photographic filters. All of this is done in the pursuit of aesthetics and art.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Is it necessary to meet before the wedding day?
It's not essential, but it's very helpful. During such a meeting, we can comfortably discuss the details of your wedding, and I can learn valuable things about you that will help me when photographing your day. It's also much more comfortable for both parties when we've already met and know each other at least a little.
How many photographs will we receive from our wedding?
This is one of the most frequently asked questions. The short answer is: as many as the day calls for. There's no way for me to know in advance exactly how your wedding will unfold and calculate the number of photographs beforehand. The more events and guests your wedding includes, the more photographs I'll take. Typically, a "normal" wedding produces around 800–1,000 photographs. I've had weddings where I delivered just over 400 images, and others where the total exceeded 2,000. The number varies greatly from one wedding to another. What matters to you is having your wedding fully documented, and that requires a different number of photographs every time.
Our wedding will be quite far from Yambol. Would you still be able to photograph it?
I can travel absolutely anywhere as long as there's a reasonably good road. I travel in my own car and have no limit on the distance I'm willing to cover.
Our wedding will take place in the evening and continue late into the night. Do we need to provide you with a room for the night?
Usually, this isn't necessary, unless the wedding venue is particularly far from Yambol. There are indeed places in Bulgaria from which driving back to Yambol isn't reasonable, especially after a tiring wedding and in the early hours of the morning. This is something we can discuss and arrange if necessary, but it's not a major concern.
Can we ask you not to publish our photographs anywhere?
Of course! All you need to do is let me know. This is your private life, and I respect your right to keep it entirely private.
On the other hand, the only advertising I rely on is showcasing my work to potential clients online. I'd therefore be very grateful if you allowed me to share a few photographs from your wedding. If necessary, this can be done only after you've explicitly approved each individual image.
Does the price depend on the number of guests?
No. The price is based on time. The longer I photograph, the more work I have to do after the wedding. However, if there are too many guests and not enough time, I won't be able to photograph every guest individually or with you, and some people may be disappointed. I've experienced this before. That's why, for very large weddings (over 150 guests), I recommend hiring a second photographer. This will give you more photographs of your guests, more captured moments, and more than one perspective.
Would you like us to pay you a deposit?
No. I never take money before I've done some work.
When should we pay you?
Whenever it's convenient for you. I've noticed that most couples prefer to pay at the end of the wedding itself, but there's absolutely no problem with paying when I deliver the finished photographs either. You can pay in cash or by bank transfer, whichever you prefer.
We'd also like to have a videographer. Do you think they might interfere with your ability to photograph our wedding in the best possible way?
A good videographer won't get in the way. They know how to work as part of a team and when and where to position themselves. What does get in my way are videographers using old cameras with poor low-light sensitivity and inferior lenses, which forces them to use an on-camera light. This light completely ruins the existing lighting, especially in a church, and definitely results in poorer photographs. Besides producing unnatural lighting in terms of intensity and direction, the light usually has a different color temperature from the ambient lighting. This causes significant color shifts in human skin tones, which are very difficult to correct during post-processing. Ask your videographer whether they use an on-camera light. If they do, it means their camera is probably ancient, and my advice would be to look for someone else.
Are there weddings you particularly enjoy photographing, and others you would refuse to photograph?
That's a very good question. Yes, I enjoy photographing stylish, fun weddings at interesting or exotic locations, with predominantly young, educated, and well-mannered people, without rushing through an overly ambitious schedule or excessive drunken antics (although I suppose it's hard to have a wedding without some of that — just not on a massive scale). These are the kinds of weddings that produce the most beautiful photographs.
I don't enjoy what I would call "rural-style" weddings (no offense to the countryside — I'm a country boy myself), with widespread drunkenness, chalga music, traditional kuchek dancing, aggression, and excessive noise. I also dislike weddings where, in the rush to visit 5–6–7 different locations for strange rituals, there's no time left for the wedding itself, for guests to interact with one another, or for guests to spend time with the newlyweds. These weddings are extremely difficult to photograph, which is why I prefer not to be hired by people planning this kind of event. Nothing personal, of course.
