About Me

Meet Damian – photographer, guide, and calm presence on your wedding day.

Are you dreaming of a wedding day that’s more than just beautiful — a day that feels right? Personal. Honest. Full of moments you’ll remember forever — not because everything was perfect, but because it was real. And yours.
That’s the kind of day I care about too.

I really listen — and I’ve seen a lot

I’m based here in Lake Bled, and for over 10 years, I’ve been photographing couples from more than 25 countries who chose this magical place to celebrate their love.

I’ve photographed over 100 weddings at Lake Bled — and no two have ever felt the same. Every couple brings something different, and that’s why I always begin with your story and your vision.

My focus? Real moments, real connection

When you’re relaxed and present, the magic unfolds naturally — the quiet glances, laughter, nervous excitement, and everything in between.

That’s what I love to photograph.

“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.”

You don’t have to figure it all out alone

Planning a small, low-profile wedding or elopement from abroad? Feeling overwhelmed? I’m here to help.

For smaller celebrations, I’m happy to guide you through the process — from suggesting beautiful locations to creating a timeline and handling quiet details that make the day feel effortless.

For larger weddings, I gladly work alongside your wedding planner to ensure everything flows beautifully, especially when it comes to giving you the space and time for the moments that matter most.

Let’s create something that feels like you

If you're looking for someone who:

•Treats your story with care
•Helps you feel at ease in front of the camera
•Captures how your day felt, not just how it looked

…I’d love to be part of your day.

Frequently Asked Questions

Natural. I’ll gently guide you when needed, but the best photos come when you’re just being yourselves.

Absolutely. Almost every couple tells me this. You don’t need to perform. Just be yourselves, and I’ll take care of the rest.

Yes — some of my couples plan from abroad without a wedding planner. I’m happy to help with locations, timelines, and trusted local vendors like florists or makeup artists.
