Not everyone has a lagoon or glacier next door, but there's no rule saying you can't have a small wedding in the great outdoors. Take advantage of natural sunshine and that open, airy feeling and give your guests some room to breathe!

Let your guests take in the view, especially if you've got a spectacular one. You...Read more

My name is Sasha and when I am not busy traveling the world and capturing the most precious moments in people’s lives, I am a full-time parent to Gosha (the pup on my back). My sole goal is to translate the precious moments my clients invite me to witness: naturally, effortlessly and full of love. When working, I try to be everywhere and nowhere all at once, so I can capture the tiniest details. I am continuously uplifted by the beauty of the world and draw my inspiration from magazines and films. [Moscow Wedding Photographer]

I'm a photographer, a daddy, and a husband... I used to shoot since I was a child with any kind of camera, analogic machines, compact, 35mm, digital SLR cameras, etc... What interests me is to capture and create. Thanks to my grandfather who gave me the first film camera and given me the opportunity to develop hundreds of photos ... I prefer portraits and storytelling by reportage. My love is "catch the moment" to make beautiful images. I love Photography in all, it is my passion, like for pizza. I love to be a friend during the wedding day, not a "director". A friend that will shoot about your day just with emotions and real moments that will become...memories. No constructions, no fake, just a lovely couple with a beautiful story on a special day. [Syracuse Wedding Photographer]

My name is Marek and I am a photojournalist. For many years I have photographed in various places around the world, various topics. My love for people and their diversity led me to become a photographer. I love to feel and show emotions in the photos I take. Every day I photograph politicians, businessmen, musicians, etc. It all started very slowly, with time I gained a sense of aesthetics, I was learning and watching all the time. The name "as on a film" did not come from nowhere. As a child, I started with analog photography and I still feel best in this style. I have been photographing professionally for 15 years, I like old school and reportage style. Here I am, I photograph and bring out from the world what I see in my own way. I invite you to view my works and contact me. I will be happy to make a photo report on your special wedding day, christenings, birthdays, etc. I will answer all of your questions. I live in Warsaw, but I photograph all over Poland. For my part, I provide a transparent and profitable contract, the highest quality of photos, punctuality, and commitment to even the smallest project. By signing a contract with me, you sign a contract with a legally operating company. [Warsaw Wedding Photographer]

Fortunately, though, the concept of small weddings is becoming increasingly popular for couples who either want to be able to completely customize their day where and when they want with the option...Read more
While some of us were fortunate enough to be born as extroverts, not everyone feels the same way.

Traditional weddings often require some degree of performance on the part of the couple, whether that is in the form of reciting...Read more
