I discovered photography around 2000, first as a fascinating hobby, then as a tentative career choice and eventually as a full time job. I worked as a dark room helper, photojournalist, photo editor, assistant, second shooter and have shot news, sports, arts and concerts. Since 2011, when I started focusing on weddings, I covered everything from intimate 20-person weddings to complex productions with more than 500 guests in Romania, Italy, France, the UK and Switzerland.

The first photo book that I remember was the 1998 World Press Photo album. I have a tremendous amount of respect for the power of photojournalists to tell compelling stories and reveal big picture stories often through small details. Interestingly enough, one of the winning images from that year was actually a wedding photo.

Covering weddings, I believe we’re incredibly lucky because the stories we get to tell are happy ones and I think that the ability to hunt for moments and make emotionally powerful images is an essential skill for wedding shooters.
