Here Are My 20 Photos That Depict Unstaged Father-Daughter Moments At Weddings

My journey as a photographer began back in 2007 when I bought my first digital SLR camera. I was fascinated by the magic of preserving surroundings in the visuals. I was a keen landscape and urbanscape photographer at the time, and I didn’t like including human beings in my pictures. It all rapidly changed when I was asked by a friend of mine to photograph her wedding. Reluctant, anxious and excited at the same time I said, yes! I’m so glad I did it. I absolutely loved the dynamics of the day, the energy and the emotions. It totally hooked me!

I then photographed some weddings for friends and started getting commissions. It became a side hustle to my daily job as a chef. I then followed my dreams, opened up the photography studio and handled in my notice. The rest is history!

It can seem that there's a lot of pressure in capturing the most precious moments. The stress level of photographing weddings really depends on the wedding photography style/approach and the individual requirements from the couples. My couples choose me for my relaxed documentary style and they are all easygoing. We connect very well and have a mutual understanding when it comes to capturing the day in a completely unobtrusive way. It’s always relaxed and worry-free for the couples and myself too.

I love capturing emotions and fun. I like everything human about weddings and being around happy people makes the job mega joyful. The evening reception and the party are my favorite parts of the day.

When it comes to the future, the plan is to keep going and continue capturing unique moments at weddings for amazing couples. I also want to explore the videography field and start capturing motion.
