But first, let's get to know each other
I'm Vlad,
A traveling wedding photographer based in Southern California.
I get to meet incredible people, hop on planes, and capture love in the wild. Somehow, I turned that into a career – still not sure how, but I’m not questioning it. Telling stories through my lens is what I love, but the real payoff is creating something truly meaningful that my clients will hold onto forever.
Turns out it's pretty important we're a good fit if we are to create something amazing together, so let's take a moment to get to know each other.

An intimate Byron Bay wedding
Nestled deep in the magical woodlands of Byron Bay's hinterland - where fairies and trolls still live - lays a secluded estate from 1893...
A Tuscan fairy tale
I've never felt so much like I was living inside of a prince and princess fairy tale as when Norwegian couple Aron and Sharon invited me to shoot their intimate wedding affair on the golden hills of Tuscany...
Point Loma to Joshua Tree; a loved up road trip
What do you do when you love the coast as much as you love the desert & all its mountains? You make a road trip out of it and throw some banana pancakes in the mix...

So many words I could use but few feel sufficient. Simply put, these photos are a dream come true.
The day was a blur and it makes it that much more magical being able to relive every moment when I gaze at another photo.
I cannot thank you enough! These photos are the greatest gift for our years to come.

WOW! Trying to contain my excitement! Absolutely love the photos! Hard to pick what will be the feature in our home now :)
So many wonderful comments from family and friends of how you captured every aspect and emotion of our day. The one of mum hugging me in the bedroom is a real keeper, that look on her face means a lot to me. And of course the one of dad giving me away! agh so amazing.
We showed my parents the slide show a couple of days ago and it had mum tearing up ;) I'd say you nailed it!
Rachel + Greg
The photos are amazing!! We love them so much!!!
We've watched them a few times now and each time we get teary again. Everyone I show them gets teary too!
The combo of tiny people in big gorgeous landscapes and some amazing close-ups of us with real emotion is divine.
We adore them.

VLAD!!!!

From the first meeting, Vlad took time to understand my husband and I's relationship and the style of wedding we were having.
Best of all he knew how to direct us and make us feel comfortable, have fun and at times forget there was a camera on us, which resulted in the most magical images that will last forever.
He captured the love, laughter, silly moments and atmosphere of our wedding day perfectly!
