"Working with Dragi was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day.
We reached out to him as we really loved the natural colours, the poses and candids he uses in his work. Dragi's quick responses to our questions, thoughtful answers, straightforward approach (including no hidden prices, fees, or tradeoffs), energy, enthusiasm, passion, and knowledge about photography made us feel that we couldn't go wrong choosing him as our photographer.
On top of his technical expertise, Dragi is extremely personable and made us feel at ease talking with him even from our first meeting. He made a point of getting to know us as a couple, our tastes, what matters to us, and how we envisioned our wedding day. His energy matched what we were looking for in our wedding day, full of fun and happiness. Each time we spoke to Dragi, we got more and more excited about our wedding photos. It also became apparent that Dragi holds himself and his work to an extremely high standard, and consistently goes above and beyond to make his clients' wedding days a success while capturing meaningful moments. It seems he has encountered and troubleshooted every situation you could imagine on a wedding day, which gave us more confidence that things would go smoothly with him on our big day. Our choice to work with him was a source of relief during a time where anxieties were high about wedding planning in general.
We also did an engagement photo shoot with Dragi, and our engagement photos turned out wonderfully. Dragi led us through the process of having our photos taken with humour and enthusiasm, which helped us to relax and just be ourselves. We never felt pressured by Dragi to try acting or posing in a certain way. It was a great opportunity to learn what we liked and didn't like for photo styling for our wedding day, and we have an album of beautiful engagement photos as a result.
Leading up to our big day, communication was quick and thorough. We felt like every need, request, and concern was addressed. On our wedding day, Dragi was at my wife's place right on time, excited to get the day going. He worked very well with her family, bridal party, and other vendors like hair and makeup to keep the day running smoothly and make her feel at ease as they got ready. His second shooter, Jacquie, was at my place, right on time as well and a great complement to Dragi for the day, capturing lots of fun moments with my family and bridal party as well.
At our wedding venue, Dragi brought out the smiles in everyone, especially my younger (including preschool age) nieces and nephews. Multiple guests, unprompted, commented to us on how funny, energetic, and great our photographer was throughout the night.
Dragi also ran our photobooth. He went above and beyond with this service, helping us customize our templates, adjusting very well to our requests, and making recommendations. Everyone had a great time taking photos with both Dragi and Jacquie at the photobooth as evidenced by the silly poses and genuine smiles in the photos.
Delivery of the photos was quick, within a month after our wedding. Once again, we feel the need to highlight Dragi's meticulous attention to detail and high-quality work. We ended up with a greater number of photos than we realized were taken, because Dragi had captured so many details of our day. However, each photo feels like there was intention behind it rather than simply added in for the sake of quantity. It was hard to pick favourites as they turned out so beautiful! Like our engagment photos, the styling was just what we wanted, natural and bright colouring, and lots of candids mixed with poses that we like and that Dragi suggested as well.
We definitely will and are recommending Dragi to everyone that we know that are looking for a photographer. If we ever have the need for one again, Dragi will be first on our list to consider."
