If you were to ask me a couple years ago if I’d photograph a styled shoot, the answer would have been no. Since I’m addicted shooting real couples at real weddings, I wouldn’t have felt myself comfortable in a carefully planned and controlled session. I was proud that my future clients often highlighted my full of life portfolio in contrast to other wedding photographers, who use photos from the styled shoot to convince couples of the quality of their work, at the same time they are lack of quality real moments from a wedding day.

Ultimately I changed my mind, and sought potential to test myself in a whole new situation.

Well, thats right! I was asked to take part in an all-white themed styled shooting, which took place at Kozmo Luxury Hotel, Budapest. The stakes were high just as on a real wedding day, since many talented vendors put their best work into it.

This venue was honestly one of the most stunning places to shoot: it’s imposing grand staircase, the presidential suite with it’s exceptional terrace, the arts and paintings all over the building. The monumental building (once was known for being home to the largest telecommunications centre in Eastern and Central Europe at the beginning of the 20th century) has kept it’s original elements.

We had a rough start due to some delay in the schedule, so the outdoor shooting took place at noon in the harshest sunlight. Safe to say its the photographers nightmare scenario, especially when it comes to the portraits. However as a team of professionals we overcame adversity and got the job done.
