Where do I take photos?

I am based in Gyenesdiás, on the northern shore of Lake Balaton, so I have extensive local knowledge of the best photography spots around the lake and the Balaton Uplands. Most of my work takes place in this region, but I also shoot in Budapest and am happy to travel anywhere in Hungary, Austria, or other parts of Europe.

LAKE BALATON WEDDING

balatoni eskuvoi helyszínek

Why Lake Balaton?

LAKE BALATON WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER

One of the most beautiful and beloved areas of our country is the landscape around Lake Balaton, where stunning shores, hills, and valleys follow one another, offering breathtaking views.

For me, it is more than just a region with beautiful panoramas. I grew up here and still live here, so it has become intertwined with the concept of home for me. I have seen almost all its faces: the awakening dawn, pleasant summer afternoons, and fairytale sunsets as the setting sun dips below the gentle slopes of the Keszthely Mountains or the basalt hills of Badacsony.

The feeling of life that comes from walking alongside the reeds, boat docks, and sailing harbors, or admiring the landscapes and the panorama of the lake from the beautiful valleys of the Balaton Highlands is truly special.

For these very reasons, many couples choose Lake Balaton as the location for their photoshoots and weddings. Excellent quality restaurants, wineries, and hotels host beautiful weddings. It’s easier for me to convey this atmosphere through pictures, so here I will show you wonderful wedding photos with a Lake Balaton theme.

Colors

If I had to describe the color palette of my photographs, I would highlight their clarity, pastel tones, and bright shades, enhanced with a soft, film-like grain. I also have a great passion for black-and-white photography, which renders portraits and special moments with an even more artistic touch. I enjoy both classic and modern approaches, which is why I still shoot on film alongside digital. I love working with the colors and tones of classic film stocks such as KODAK, FUJIFILM, and black-and-white ILFORD, as well as blending them with modern aesthetics. In terms of visual style and subjects, I aim to create youthful, light, and elegant wedding photographs—free from clichés and forced poses whenever possible.

Style

My style is rooted in timeless elegance and a refined artistic vision. With a Fine Art and Lifestyle approach, I capture the most beautiful moments of a wedding, always focusing on the experience, the emotions, and the genuine, natural beauty of the day. Throughout my work, I place great emphasis on discreet presence—moving unnoticed while still documenting every important moment from start to finish. Reliability and professional excellence are the foundation of my craft; my goal is to create a deeply personal yet everlasting artistic collection for each couple. In post-production, I apply a meticulous and sophisticated Editorial style reminiscent of magazine-quality imagery.

This is how I work

As a wedding photographer, I am always present for the intimate moments, and I know that trust and harmony are essential for creating perfect results. I help couples prepare for their wedding photography sessions and foster an atmosphere where they can truly be themselves, free from tension or pressure. In this way, the moments I capture are genuine and sincere, allowing couples to truly feel that these unrepeatable memories belong to them. During the photo sessions, I provide guidance and direction, but mostly through subtle, creative suggestions—so that the authenticity of each moment is always preserved.

Quality

My editing and retouching work is defined by magazine-style Editorial quality. Every photo selection is crafted with years of professional experience and supported by a high level of technical expertise. I never outsource post-production. From culling and retouching to creating Fine Art albums, I personally handle every step to ensure my clients receive exactly what I promise them. The result is precise, high-quality, and timeless photographs and albums.
