I AM A MEMBER OF THE OLDEST AND MOST RESPECTED WORLDWIDE PROFESSIONAL WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY ORGANIZATION: Wedding Photojournalist Association (WPJA)

PHOTO BOOKS AND PHOTOGRAPHS: The partners I have chosen to work with specialize in the field of photo printing and the materials used for the photo books are of the highest quality on the market. The books are 100% hand-made. The digital photos from your event together with the photo book keep your memories alive for many, many years. Options for photo printout and photographs on Kapafix for walls in any size.

Luxury photo book – first-class leather covers with individual design and solid pages (choice of material between matte, silk, gloss, metallic) 30×30 cm with 30 pages. Possibility for other sizes of the photo book, as well as an additional number of pages.
If the client chooses a service, which includes a photo book, a digital project is also produced. This includes photographs of the event of your choice, as well as cover and page design customized for each client. After the design is completed, an email invitation is sent to review the album through the Cloud Proofing platform. This type of communication is reliable and flexible, facilitating changes and feedback on the album. Following your approval of the project, the photo album is submitted for printing. The time for production of the photo book after design approval is up to 5 weeks.
At the request of the client for printing photos and photo books I will send tables with sizes and prices.

WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY: Before the long-awaited wedding day, it is important to meet the future newly-weds at a pre-arranged meeting. During this, we will discuss your ideas, how you want the day to unfold, what locations we will be shooting, coming up together with a vision for the artistic photo session, the necessary accessories and objects to be provided in advance, as well as numerous other details about the wedding, which are going to generate pleasant experiences and emotions on the big day.
Each wedding is unique with its own character and agenda but usually begins with documenting the preparations of the groom and bride, an art photo session during the wedding day with a recommended duration of one to three hours excluding the time to reach the chosen location. A civil union ceremony and/or church ritual, welcome drink, official photographs with the guests and finally a party at a restaurant. Of course, the wedding day can unfold quite differently and I expect you to share ideas to make your wedding story unforgettable.

Subsequent processing of the images includes selection, editing of all shots. The whole process is carried out and managed exclusively by the photographer. The number of pictures varies depending on the event, its complexity, workload, etc. The number of images given to the client is limited, numbering on average 40-100 photographs/hour. The photographs are handed over to the client via email using a Digital download delivery link in JPG/JPEG format, in two variants – Print (high resolution) and Internet (low resolution for social media). The links are active for one (1) calendar month.
The client has the option of purchasing a luxurious customized DVD box or USB Flash Drive.
The time for performance of the photography services and handover of wedding photos is according to the chosen wedding package.

For events outside the city of Sofia, transport expenses are paid by the client.
For weddings lasting more than 7 hours and distances greater than 130 km from Sofia (or an hour and a half away from Sofia), the client pays for accommodation. For wedding locations further away from Sofia, a second night stay is required before the wedding day. You can make an inquiry through the Contact section regarding a specific location.

I shoot weddings all over Bulgaria and Europe, and my shooting style is complex, a combination of reportage photographs and modern artistic photography. I respect the opinion and ideas of the client for photos, but I do not make ones that contradict my idea of wedding photography and my established style of work.

The photographer reserves his right not the provide all taken photographs of the event in view of the quality of the images – unfocused photographs, bad exposures, test shots during setup, etc. Part of the photographer’s job is to select images before post-processing.

ENGAGEMENT OR POST-WEDDING PHOTO SESSION (LOVE STORY): Offers a photo shoot at a favorite place, photography of natural light in the region of Sofia. Film or modern vision of the photographs. When choosing a photographic service with an Engagement or Post-Wedding Artistic Photo Session (Love Story) outside the city of Sofia, you can make an inquiry through the Contact section for an individual offer (Love Story PLUS).
I take the photos for the photo sessions most often in the parks (somewhere in nature) or in an urban architectural environment. At the request of the client we choose a location, which can be non-standard, or just your favorite special place. The images can be used for photo books, photo walls, wedding invitations and wedding sites, and more.

ADDITIONAL WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY: You can book an additional second wedding photo session on a day, when you will not have to worry about a schedule, other people or damaging the wedding dress or suit. A day when you will be calm and in a good mood, ready for adventure, crazy photos and new emotions. Together, we can come up with interesting and attractive locations with short or long duration of photographing. You can contact me to share your ideas.
