Documentary destination wedding photographer based in Transylvania.
About me I can tell you that I'm honest. Honest in what I photograph and honest to those who choose me as a wedding witness. I anticipate moments from experience and capture the most important details and feelings, without a script. I don't interfere with the scene and the event. Happiness comes naturally and that's the way I capture it. Through images, I try to prove that you don’t need voices to tell a story. I’m a photographer because it’s how I live. And I live fully, because what I capture are moments I lose myself in too. In the end, a wedding photography should speak to you about what you felt that day. To tell you that someone witnessed you, saw you for what you radiated and how the world around you was and changed. I always try to capture a word, YOU. But you tell the story!

Although I don't believe in destiny, it seems like my destiny was sealed in 1981 when I got my very first camera (Yashica) as a 1st birthday gift from my grandma. It was actually a wish made by my dad back then and he was the one using it for our family photos for 18 years, until I discovered it was *my* birthday gift and claimed it back. It was a start of my adventure with dark room, black & white films and taking so many photos of just about everything. It all got more serious when I started my wedding photography business in 2008 on a side of my engineer job, but then it became a life occupation in July 2014 when I quit my engineer job and got married to my wonderful wife, taking some photos of our wedding with the camera from the beginning of this story. The turning point for that business decision was an award winning photo in the annual National Geographic Traveler Photo Contest 2013, that brought so many new adventures and horizons in my life. Today I am mainly destination photographer in Croatia and all over Europe as well, but also a proud award winning member of ISPWP, Fearless Photographers and WPJA.
