About Damian
Calm, caring, and quietly organised—your Lake Bled photographer
Documentary at heart, gently styled when it helps.
Your wedding isn’t a performance — it’s a feeling. My role is to capture it honestly and beautifully. I work unobtrusively for real moments, then step in with light, natural direction when a touch of guidance makes the image shine.
Why couples choose me
- •You look like you—just on your best day. 80% documentary, 20% gently guided so hands, posture, and light flatter you without stiff poses.
- •Local expertise that lowers your stress. 10+ years at Lake Bled; I’ll help with locations, timing, quiet corners, and plan-B light.
- •A calm presence. I keep things relaxed, read the room, and make the camera feel invisible.
My style: a balanced approach
1) Documentary (most of the day)
Quiet glances, in-between laughter, the way your parents look at you—captured as they naturally happen.
2) Gently styled (short moments, big impact)
I’ll step in with simple, natural cues (“shift toward the light,” “bring her closer,” “rest your hands here”) to shape flattering, timeless frames—especially for couple portraits and family photos.
3) Editorial polish (optional, still you)
A few hero images with a little extra refinement—clean backgrounds, graceful lines, a touch of cinematic composition.
It never felt staged. He guided just enough so we looked our best, but the photos still feel like us.
“Your love story is one of a kind — and I’m here to capture it as it unfolds, in a calm, natural way that lets you simply be yourselves.”

What it’s like to work with me
- Listen — We start with your story, priorities, and comfort level in front of the camera.
- Plan — I suggest locations and timing for the best light (and fewer crowds), plus a flexible, low-stress timeline.
- Photograph — Mostly candid; gentle direction when it serves the image (and your confidence).
- Deliver — A cohesive gallery that feels honest and elegant—how the day felt, not just how it looked.
Beyond photos: a local guide by your side
Whether it’s a small elopement or a larger wedding, I help with:
- •Location and route suggestions (castle, island, viewpoints, quiet corners)
- •Light-timing & logistics (boats, entrances, crowds, weather alternatives)
- •Coordinating with planners or handling small-wedding details myself
Are we a good fit?
You’ll love working with me if you want…
- •Natural images with a subtle, flattering lift (not heavy posing)
- •A photographer who’s proactive, calm, and discreet
- •Real moments + a few refined portraits you’ll frame for years
