@theweddpeckers Photography is our choice, our way, a way to feel, to move and to transmit, and you don't study it, you live it! To do this you have to connect with what is happening around you, be part of it, feel and be moved yourself first, and finally with an instinctive impulse to shoot...

Antonio Palermo

@antoniopalermo Technique, expression and emotion are the fundamental pillars of my work. Each shot is designed to tell a story, to convey the feelings and atmospheres that permeate the day. I consider myself an invisible storyteller, moving discreetly among the guests, observing and documenting the small details and big emotions without ever interfering. Tears of joy, affectionate hugs, spontaneous laughter and complicit glances are captured naturally, creating a visual narrative that goes beyond the superficial.

@gowthamvijay I'm Gowtham Vijay, a photographer from Tamil Nadu, India. Born in one of the smallest villages you can imagine, the kind that doesn't even have a bus stop. In 2018, I accidentally stepped into the world of wedding photography. What started as a simple curiosity soon became my life's passion. I'm drawn to the quiet glances, raw emotions, and in-between moments that tell the wedding's real story. My work focuses on capturing these timeless memories with a cinematic, soulful approach, turning fleeting moments into something unforgettable.

@igorsazonov I'm interested in weddings that have a balance of everything that is important, valuable and interesting to me. This is something with meaning, deeper... more than just about love.
Live cinematic photography with elements of unusual soulful staging. At the center of my shots are the relationships, feelings and emotions of the protagonists (couple) and characters (their friends and family). I try to integrate something "fresh" in the world of photography, but not to change myself within my style.

@spreeliebe Alex is a proud father, globetrotter and documentary photographer based between Germany and Spain. For over a decade, he has been capturing weddings in a pure documentary and candid style. With a background in Visual Journalism from Hanover University of Applied Sciences and Arts, where he studied under some of the world's leading photojournalists, he developed his way of telling authentic stories about people, traditions and community life.
His approach breaks away from typical wedding industry clichés, earning him numerous awards, recognition from major international associations, and invitations to serve as a juror at several photography competitions. Outside the wedding season, he loves to travel and continues to pursue personal documentary projects.

@benjaminmonge Benjamín Monge, documentary wedding photographer from Concepción. In 2018 he left his career in the industrial area to devote himself fully to his passion: photography.
He has become a reference in the documentary style, where minimalism and elegance are always the protagonists.
Traveling around Chile and the world telling stories, thanks to this, his photographs and reports have led him to become the number 1 photographer in Chile and to be in the top 30 worldwide in MyWed.
Benjamin truly believes that an amazing photographer is not made by years of experience, but by the passion put into each photograph.

@goenaga I'm a Colombian wedding photographer with over 12 years of experience, passionate about telling stories through my images. I love working with natural light and capturing genuine moments. For me, photography is a language — a way to communicate a message that can be "heard” through the eyes in the most beautiful and thoughtful way possible.
In 2016, I was named Breakthrough Photographer of the Year in my country. In 2018, Nikon Pro Magazine in London recognized me as an emerging artist in the new wave of photography. In 2024, I was honored to be selected by MyWed as one of the Top 10 Photographers of the Year, and in 2025, I proudly serve as a jury member for this incredible competition.
Photography has opened doors for me, taken me across countries, and brought me thousands of smiles. I love what I do.

Sasha Titov

@sashatit0v Over 10 years in wedding photography. Drawn to telling real stories rather than just showing them. Inspired by nature, cinematography and finding magic in simple things. Fueled by curiosity, and always chasing the next adventure. Believes a camera is for exploring and, for sure, nothing needs to be taken too seriously.

Hollie Mateer

@mandghollie A photographer from Yorkshire has become the first in the world to win Wedding Photographer of the Year and Family Photographer of the Year in the international This Is Reportage Awards.
Hollie said: "My passion is photography – getting to do it as a job makes me feel so lucky. For a long time, I had imposter syndrome. It's such a huge honour to be chosen to capture the biggest day of a couple's life but it can also be pretty intimidating, especially when you're starting out as a young female photographer.
"I've learned to overcome this by creating authentic work that speaks about me as an artist and a person. I feel very blessed to be recognised by international industry professionals but it is the wonderful feedback from my clients that really fills me with pride. Many of the couples whose weddings I photograph get back in touch to ask me to take their family photos. I've also done it the other way round where I've photographed a family and later the wedding."
