Photo Of April 2013

Samo Rovan

Happy that you have visited my web page. Let me introduce myself.

I’m a destination wedding photographer, based in Slovenia. A former photojournalist, been working for several Slovenian newspapers. A bachelor of Architectural Engineering, active in the fields of photography, architecture and design. Also husband of the muse of my life and father of two gorgeous children.

I was proclaimed as “Slovenian Photographer of the year 2009″ by winning photographic contest in Slovenia – “Photography of the Year 2009″ by Emzin, with my “Wedding guests” series. In 2011 I was TOP 10 Fearless Photographer.

I’m a story-teller renowned for passionate, fun, fresh, direct, also emotional, sincere and warm wedding documentary photojournalistic style. On the other hand I enjoy hunting unusual and humorous situations in a bold way. Complex compositions are my specialty. The purpose of my photography is to capture the genuine feelings that the bride, groom and the guests experience at the wedding – to open the window back to the wedding day, so they can again smell the flowers of the bouquet and touch the wedding dress.

Beside weddings I photograph also:
- engagement sessions,
- family portraits,
- kids,
- events and
- everything else connected with people and life.

Available: worldwide
