Documentary Wedding Photography
Storytelling Documentary Wedding Photographer & Filmmaker
Your wedding day is a story — fleeting, unscripted, and entirely yours. I follow it as it unfolds, noticing the laughter, the stolen glances, the small gestures that make the day unmistakably yours. Every photograph and film frame is rooted in honesty, presence, and the quiet poetry of real moments.
Based in Hinckley, I travel across the UK and abroad to document weddings with clarity, creativity, and confidence. And if you wish to add an extra layer of artistry, my partner Elena Pavlova joins me, bringing refined, styled photography that elevates your story into something cinematic and unforgettable.

Personal Artwork
I’m a total photography addict and always have a camera with me, for every moment that I see something in this world that raises questions, answers questions or just looks so damned amazing!
I’m a street photographer blended with landscape photography. I can mix them and separate them but also I love a good sunset, love nothing more than walking the streets and shooting whatever excites my eyes. I have thousands of pieces of artwork.

Life in a War Zone
A documentary photography and film project exploring how the people in Kyiv and Lviv, Ukraine manage to live in a war zone. With bombs, drones and missiles falling from the sky and the constant threat of death and serious injury, how on Earth are they coping?
This collection consisting of 6 individual photo essays, combined to create a larger project looks at ‘Life in a War Zone’.
