The service
Photography is not a commodity. I do not believe photographs can be sold by the kilo, nor are they products to be stacked on a shelf like donuts in a store. What I offer is a unique perception—a disciplined recording of a memory intended to last for generations. Because of this, I do not offer hourly rates that leave the documentation incomplete. A story shouldn't be dictated by a stopwatch.
A wedding is a continuous narrative, not a series of billable segments. To capture the nuances—the true moments between the milestones—I must be present from the beginning until the end. "All day" is my only option. I give you as much time as is necessary to ensure the record is complete, from the nervous anticipation of the morning to the unfiltered energy of the late night.
You are not paying for a specific number of files, but for a professional distillation of your day. Drawing from a high-volume documentation process (often exceeding 10,000 frames), I hand-select and refine every image that contributes to the story. The result is a comprehensive, high-end gallery that reflects both the "must-have" moments and the peripheral nuances that others often miss.
The Process
1. Inquiry
Whether you are a couple or a wedding planner, please use the form below to share the date, location, and scale of the event. While I recommend reaching out early to secure your date, my schedule occasionally allows for last-minute bookings. I will confirm my availability and the next steps within 24 hours.
2. Consultation
If the date is open, we will schedule a call or a meeting. This isn’t a sales pitch—it’s about eliminating the "stranger" element. I don’t want to be a guest you’ve never met on your wedding day. We will discuss the flow of your celebration, get to know each other, and ensure our perspectives align.
3. Proposal
Following our discussion, I will provide a tailored proposal. While my "All Day" standard remains constant, this document outlines the specifics for travel, logistics, and additional options—such as a second photographer for larger events, multi-day coverage, prints or books.
4. Formalizing the Date
To secure your place in my calendar, I require a signed agreement and a retainer fee. Once formalized, my focus and availability for that date are entirely yours.
5. Wedding Day
On the day, I work with the professional restraint we discussed: a friendly, integrated presence that captures the energy as it unfolds. I am there from the first preparations until the late-night celebration, ensuring a comprehensive record of both the milestones and the nuances.
6. Delivery
Speed is essential. You can expect a curated "sneak peek" of the highlights within two days of the wedding. The final distillation of 10,000+ frames into a refined, hand-selected gallery is delivered via a private online archive within three weeks.
Inquire
Because every event has unique logistical requirements, I provide tailored proposals following our initial consultation.
FAQ
Where are you based and do you travel?
I am based in Prague, Czech Republic, but my work takes me across Europe and beyond. For destination weddings, travel is handled transparently: I book my own flights and accommodation, and a flat travel fee is included in your proposal so there are no hidden costs or receipts to manage later.
Do you work with a second photographer?
For events with a high guest count or complex logistics, a second photographer can be added to the proposal to ensure coverage from multiple angles. A colleague can also assist during portrait and group sessions. I usually work with people who are also my friends.
How many photos will we receive?
While I capture a high volume of data—often close to 10,000 frames—the final delivery is a curated distillation. You will receive a hand-selected gallery of high-resolution, edited images (typically around 600) that tell the complete story of your day without redundancy.
Do you take formal family portraits?
Yes. While my primary focus is documentary, I recognize the historical value of family portraits. I lead these sessions with professional efficiency, ensuring they are high-quality but brief, so you can return to your guests as quickly as possible.
What happens if it rains or the lighting is poor?
I am not afraid of the elements. My cameras are weather-sealed, and my background in advertising and architecture has trained me to handle any environment. Whether it is a dark cathedral, a candlelit gala, or a celebration in the rain, the "trick of the trade" is knowing how to extract the best imagery from any condition. Sometimes I use flash.
