I understand that your wedding day is one of the most important days of your life. That is why I have a thorough process to ensure that I capture all of the special moments and create memories that will last a lifetime.

Where do you operate from and do you offer services in other locations as well?

As a destination wedding photographer, I am currently based in Armenia but have extensive experience working in various locations, especially Italy. I am always open to traveling to new destinations around Europe and worldwide to capture unique and beautiful moments for couples. Traveling inspires me to create and pushes me to think outside the box to capture stunning imagery. I always make it a point to arrive at the wedding destination one day in advance to meet with the couple and see the location, so I can better understand and capture the essence of their wedding day. I am passionate about capturing real moments and emotions in beautiful and unfamiliar settings, and I am always excited to work with couples who share my passion for adventure and exploration.

How many pictures can we expect from our wedding, and how long will it take for us to receive them?

I carefully select and edit every image that I deliver to our clients to ensure that each one tells a unique and meaningful story of your wedding day. While the number of photos delivered can vary depending on the size and duration of your wedding, as well as the package you choose, I typically deliver a minimum of 700 edited high-resolution images.
I understand that you are excited to relive your wedding day and share your photos with family and friends, which is why I work hard to deliver your photos as soon as possible. My turnaround time is 4 weeks after your wedding day.

Will the photos we receive be retouched and color-corrected? How will we receive them?

Yes, all the photos you receive will be carefully edited and color-corrected to ensure that they are of the highest quality. Our editing style focuses on creating a natural and timeless look. We carefully select and edit each photo individually, and if needed, we perform blemish removal and minor touch-ups. We believe in delivering images that showcase the beauty and authenticity of your wedding day. You will receive your photos in high-resolution format via an online gallery, which is easy to access and share with your family and friends.

What backup plan do you have in case of an emergency or if you are unable to attend our wedding day?

I understand that having a backup plan is essential, and I take it very seriously. In the unlikely event that I am unable to attend your wedding day due to an emergency or unforeseen circumstance, I have a network of trusted professional photographers who can step in and provide coverage in my place. I will ensure that they are fully briefed on your wedding details and preferences to ensure a seamless transition.

Furthermore, I want to assure you that I prioritize my health and well-being to avoid such situations. I take all necessary precautions, including staying up to date with my vaccinations and following safety guidelines, to maintain my health and prevent any unexpected circumstances. However, in the rare case that an emergency arises, I will do everything in my power to ensure that your wedding day is still captured beautifully, even if I am not able to physically attend.

Do you offer videography?

While I do not have a dedicated videographer on my team, I do collaborate with several professional videographers whom I work closely with. This allows me to offer videography services as part of my packages.

Do you offer any other sessions apart from wedding photography?

Yes, besides wedding photography, I offer engagement sessions, elopements, love stories and family sessions. An engagement session is a great way to get comfortable in front of the camera and have some beautiful images to use for your save the date or wedding website. An elopement or couple session can be a great way to celebrate a special moment or just capture the love between two people in a stunning location.Love Story sessions are a wonderful way to capture the unique connection and love between two individuals, and I absolutely love capturing these moments in beautiful locations. Each session is tailored to the couple's unique style and personality, and my goal is always to create images that reflect the love and connection between them.

Do you work with other professionals, such as a second shooter or assistants?

Yes, I do work with other professionals. For larger weddings or events, I always have a second shooter with me to ensure that every important moment is captured from different angles and perspectives. Additionally, I may also work with assistants to help with lighting, equipment, and logistics, allowing me to focus solely on capturing beautiful images for you. Everything upon a request.

Does your pricing include travel and accommodation expenses?

Yes, all of my packages include travel and accommodation expenses for weddings located within Europe. This means that you don't have to worry about any additional costs related to my travel or accommodations. However, if your wedding is outside of Europe, there may be additional fees associated with travel and accommodations, which I can discuss with you on a case-by-case basis.

Having a cell phone-free ceremony can be a great way to ensure that your special day is focused on the two of you and your guests. While it may seem tempting to have your guests capture every moment of the day with their phones, it can actually detract from the experience.

When guests are constantly taking photos and checking their phones, they're not fully present in the moment. This can be a distraction not only for them, but also for the couple, the officiant, and anyone else involved in the ceremony.

In addition, cell phones can often get in the way of professional photographers and videographers who are trying to capture the day for you. When guests are holding up their phones or trying to get the perfect shot, they can block important moments or take away from the ambiance of the day.
