As wedding photographers, we work with people from all walks of life - this is one of the things that makes this job so exciting.
However when we have a chance to photograph fellow artists it is that much more of a challenge as it is added positive pressure.

Ági as a flutist and Doma as a photographer clearly understand the creative process, which of course began by us meeting before the shoot.

We instantly clicked and had long passionate conversations about art, photography, life and...well just about everything!

When we asked what they were expecting from us on the wedding day, Doma came up with the most unexpected answer and said:
"We couldn't care less if we only get 35 good photos, but would love you two to be around us.
You make us genuinely calm and relaxed and that is what we truly want to feel on our wedding day"

Needless to say we were so deeply touched and our hearts filled with an incredible amount of gratitude.
Two days before the wedding we spent these joyful hours together which we both truly needed.
The shoot was casual, relaxed and fun, just the way we like it.
It was a good practice run before the wedding day.

I know, you want to know how many photos have they got.
Ok, I'll tell you:
Maybe a little bit more than 35 - but stay tuned, the next blogpost will be about their wedding :)

With Love,
Szandra & Gabor

Oh My Goodness! I still can't believe what's happening!
Only a few minutes left from 2018 and I've got the most mindblowing news.... from California!

A few month ago I entered to the Voice competition
(no, not the singing competition, it's a photography stuff :))

48.000 images entered.
One amazing collection.
And one of my images is the winner of the Love and Connection cathegory!!!!

I am speechless, guys....
I took this picture of Ben & Fidi, who have the most inspiring love for me!
Their honest bond, the deep connection, the honest love is everything for me.
And what I see, what I feel is raw and real - and it seems, through their portrait everyone can feel the same.

 Thank you, Ben & Fidi for being genuinely gorgeous - I'm so grateful for you and for the chance to photograph the 2 of you! 

I'll show you some more of their session in the New Year :)

I can't wish anything better for 2019,
Love and Connection.
Ok, probably flight ticket to California, where all of the images in the 2018 VOICE Collection will be on display at Click Away 2019 being
held February 8-10 :)

I can't wait to capture more real, intimate, emotional stories with Gabor in 2019.
Happy New Year, guys!

Hugs,
Szandra

This year is a bit different for us - in a really good way.
We've learnt a lot from the past few years - I mean not only about photography, but about ourselves!

Our lifestyle is more pure - we've started practicing bikram yoga, to make a better connection with ourselves again, changed our attitude with the food and the objects around us.
Everything is more simple, and more meaningful.
We're still so far from where we want to be, but definately on our way now.

We're trying to give back to the community from where we get the most, so we're thinking about a few different projects.
The most important in our head at the moment is the upcoming styled shoot which is all about zero-waste and vegan weddings.
Our goal is to inspire the couples and the industry as well to create breath-taking weddings, but in an eco-friendly, sustainable way.

In the middle of the planning of the styled shoot, Lidia and Edward contacted us to capture their intimated boho-vegan wedding this summer.
We're over the Moon!
This is something, that really close to our mind and heart.

So we jumped into the engagement session as soon as we could - and of course, it was a rainy day :)
All of us were a bit unsure what to do, dig in, or postpone the shoot -  but at the end, we are beyond grateful with the result :)

Lidia, Edward - this is your month, enjoy every single moments of it :)

Hugs,
Szandra and Gabor

Ok, guys - let's talk a little about the SNOW.
I mean the snow in the UK!

3 weeks ago a dream came true, when one of our best friends moved to our neighbourhood from an other town.
Everything was well-organized - but the snow...

Let's see the facts:
- 2 families
- 2 toddlers
- 2 superhero mamas
- 2 soulful papas
- 15 minutes distance between the 2 flats by car

Long story short, the 2 mamas put their toddlers to their backs, and went to the new flat to do some cleaning, etc. 
We had a yummy pizza at the end, and decided to come back to our home together to spend the evening together here.
Toddlers to the back, went down to the street... and got shocked.

Guys, the traffic stopped. I mean COMPLETELY stopped.
All the cars and buses just stood on the route. Without any movement.
And the snow didn't want to stop falling.
Hm... what to do?!

Well....we took an easy 3,5 hours long walk with our toddlers (mostly) on our backs in wind and snow, to get from the empty and cold flat to the warm one.
After several miles and so many breakdowns - we've had enough of the snow and the wind and the cold, thank you :)

A few days later the snow melted, and we tried to forget all the bad experiences with it.

Finally a bit later, but the moving went well, and here we are for each other, yeeeeay!!

The next topic was the East Dorset Wedding Show for us.
We prepared ourselves for the first wedding fair, we were overexcited!
Then the snow....
Those little, cute,  beautifully white flakes.... they tangle everything! 
Okay, after a sleepless night the wedding show has been cancelled/posponed.

So... what to do?! again...
Let's see the fact: all the gorgeous wedding suppliers are available and ready to action... (vans are full with beautiful flowers and props, etc).
It's clear! "Gaaaaabor!!! Let's do an amazing styled shoot today!!! "
It must be a mindblowing telepathy, as Danielle posted the same idea on the social media.
Yeaay, girl, you are a star!!!
We've contacted Vikkie (Dreaming of Vintage) to come along with their amazing props, too.

In less than an hour our tiny, but super powerful team met in the car park, and the rest is been captured :)

We're over the moon with the result - so I hate to say, but LET IT SNOOOOW!!!! :)

We wish you all the best for 2018 and see you soon,

Karis & Jonathan got married in Wandsworth, London.
It was a real runaway wedding - only the two of them with 2 witnesses.
After an intimate ceremony in the registry office we took a nice walk in London and got wonderfully relaxed lifestyle shots as their creative session.

Thank you for having us and wish you all the best, guys! :)

We were in a cafe one afternoon where after the well-deserved latte, Szaffi started to have fun and I started to take pictures of her.

A couple of minutes later I noticed that two guys at the table behind ours were in a deep conversation — they were handsome and sympathetic.
Then, at once they had a cuddle and I instantly felt that I want to know their story, get to know their faces and feelings better.

When I made eyecontact with them, their reaction was positive so (I, the Cowardly Lion) asked Gabor (no, not Oz) to ask them if they would be okay with me doing a short session with them some day that week.
They have let me take a few portraits in that very moment and they opened up so quickly.
That felt pretty good.
We could not wait for the seaside session!

We woke up for a rainy day — that was the only one the whole week — but it did not wash away our good spirits.
As soon as we arrived with Szaffi on my back it felt as if we have always known each other.
We spent a few hours together this way with Niels and Stephen.
The guys told us their story, and we listened happily.
Szaffi kept on explaining stuff to them, waving to them just as she does with anyone else she finds nice.

Then it hit me, how many times I heard in "disputes" about homosexual people in Hungary that "okay, let them be, but only if they "do their homosexuality" between their own four walls, because then what will I say to my children?!"
And then happiness fell onto my heart, light as a feather, that we don't have to say anything to Szaffi because she sees and feels everything she needs to know.

We are grateful for the cameras in our hands for bringing the essence of human relationships so close for us.
