Boban Vulevic

@bobanvulevic I am a luxury wedding photographer based in Montenegro, arguably one of the most beautiful countries in the world. What began as a deep personal passion has organically grown into a profession I genuinely enjoy every single day. My approach is all about balance, seamlessly combining a documentary and editorial style. I thrive in the dynamic, fast-paced energy of a wedding, capturing raw, spontaneous emotions while keeping the final look clean, high-contrast, and wrapped in timeless elegance. Being recognized among the Top 100 wedding photographers on MyWed has been an incredible milestone, but my main drive remains the unique story and connection behind every couple I photograph.

Giuliano Lo Re

@giulianolore Giuliano Lo Re is an Italian wedding photographer whose work blends a documentary approach with a cinematic vision. Influenced by cinema, visual arts, and pop culture, he uses light, color, and composition to create images that feel both authentic and visually striking. After leaving a career in advertising, he dedicated himself to wedding photography in 2022, focusing on visual storytelling. He is known for his bold use of color, strong narrative contrasts, and his ability to find beauty in spontaneity, imperfection, and genuine human connection.
Working throughout Italy and internationally, Giuliano creates images where elegance meets chaos, intimacy meets spectacle, and humor coexists with emotion. His photography is driven by visual rhythm, emotional honesty, and a strong sense of story, resulting in wedding narratives that feel both timeless and deeply personal. His work has received international recognition, including being ranked among the top 3 wedding photographers in the world.

@kathlynjohnes I'm a wedding and fashion photographer based in Denmark. My background spans documentary and fashion photography, shaping the way I approach people and light. I photograph quietly. I direct when it matters, but I'm always waiting for the moment that feels impossible to recreate.

@nunolopesphoto For me, photography begins long before I press the shutter. It begins with empathy.
Every wedding has its own heartbeat. My role is not to direct it, but to feel it before I photograph it.
When I stop chasing perfect moments and start recognising genuine emotion, the images become honest.

My work exists between documentary storytelling and editorial elegance, yet neither truly defines it. What defines it is the emotion that lingers long after the celebration is over.

I don't photograph weddings to preserve how they looked. I photograph them so people never forget how they felt.

@jz4983 Hailing from Hanoi, Vietnam, I am a documentary and cinematic photographer with over 10 years of journeying behind the lens. For me, photography is more than just capturing a scene; it is an act of preserving time, culture, and honest human emotions.
My artistic vision is defined by two core pillars: storytelling and cinematic photography.
For me, a photograph should not just be seen—it should be felt, much like a single, powerful frame from a classic movie.
I believe that the most compelling images are those that speak to the heart before they catch the eye.

@traetta I believe great wedding photography should be more than just beautiful—it should be honest. I'm drawn to images that stand the test of time, created with sensitivity, attention to detail, and a strong sense of storytelling. As a judge, these are the qualities I will be looking for in every photograph.
Gavin Jacob Power

Gavin Jacob Power

@gavinjacobpower Gavin Jacob Power's wedding photography is layered, emotive, and unapologetically real. Commanding his background in street photography, his wedding work captures fleeting moments with humour, honesty, and narrative depth, where laughter and vulnerability coexist in a single frame. With many international accolades to his name, and consistently recognised as one of the Top 100 Wedding Photographers in the World by prestigious bodies including; Fearless, MyWed and This Is Reportage, his international acclaim reflects a career built on noticing what others miss. As a judge, he values depth over aesthetic.
Edgar Zubarev

Edgar Zubarev

@zubarevs Edgar is a photographer who has lived in Tenerife for more than 10 years, transforming human stories into images. For him, photography is not about beautiful poses or perfect faces. It has always been about emotion.
His style emerged at the intersection of documentary photography and a cinematic perspective. Rather than directing people, he creates a space where they can be themselves.
Edgar believes the strongest photographs are made when people stop thinking about the camera. His work is distinguished by his attention to light, atmosphere, and the details most people overlook. Instead of pursuing a perfect picture, he seeks genuine emotion. Instead of following trends, he creates images that feel alive.
Today, Edgar continues to develop his distinctive style, combining an artistic sensibility with documentary honesty. For him, every shoot is an opportunity not simply to create beautiful photographs, but to preserve a piece of a person's story exactly as it was.
