Premium add-ons

Make the day unforgettable

2nd photographer€400

A second perspective — more moments caught, more memories kept. On the wedding day.

Photo album€180

Hard cover and pages, premium print, gloss finish. 30×30 cm, 12 pages with the option for more.

Video trailer€750

An add-on to “Classic” or “French Romance”. 2–10 min, 4K resolution.

Aerial footage of the day — the venue and the celebration from a bird's-eye view.

I take on only 30 weddings per season — so every couple gets my full attention. That's why the most sought-after dates go early.

How it works

My process

01
The conversation

We start over coffee — in person or online. You tell me about the two of you, the venue, the things I must not miss. I listen. Most couples say their wedding started feeling calmer after this talk.

02
The plan

I get into your schedule down to the minute — where the light will be, when the key moments happen, which people matter most. Luxury lives in the details, and details don't tolerate improvisation.

03
The day

I am present without being felt. I direct gently where a frame deserves it, and disappear when life happens on its own. I smooth out the little bumps before you feel them — and you simply get married.

04
The memories

A gallery that looks like an editorial and watches like home cinema — edited frame by frame, ready within 6–8 weeks. Along with your film, if it's part of the package.

About me

Mladen Borisov

|Mladenski|

Every photographer promises you “natural, no posing”. Let me tell you something less comfortable: half of my job really is making things look good. The light, the frame, the dress falling exactly the way it should. I create photographs like film stills — carrying a feeling and an emotion that stay with you twenty years on, not trend shots from 2026. That part I am good at, and I will not apologise for it.

The reason to hire me, though, is a different one. A beautiful frame can be learned. The harder part is getting two people who tense up the second I raise the camera to stop thinking about it. So I don't direct you — I talk to you, I make you laugh, and I step back at exactly the right moment. Somewhere around the middle of the day you stop noticing me. From there come the frames you will look at longest: your hands finding each other under the table. The laugh at something nobody else heard. The way he looks at her while she is talking to someone else.

I want to photograph how you feel, not how you look.

If that sounds like the wedding you want — write to me. The coffee is on me, and the conversation commits you to nothing.

Before we talk

Frequently asked questions

How much does a wedding photographer cost?

My packages start at €1300 for full-day wedding photography — 9 hours of coverage and a minimum of 600 edited images. The standalone video package “Cinema Day” (a ~60-min film + a trailer) is €1500, and the most complete one, “A True Love Story” — photography + cinematic video — is €3100. Photo album, second photographer, video trailer and drone can be added as extras. The exact investment depends on your day — write to me and you'll receive a personal offer. The full pricing guide →

Do you photograph weddings outside Varna?

Yes. I'm based in Varna, Bulgaria, but I photograph weddings across the country and around the world. Travel terms are settled together with the offer — no hidden surprises.

How would you describe your style?

Cinematic. I create photographs like film stills — light, composition and tones that do not age with the trends, but keep their feeling twenty years on. Yet the beautiful frame is the easy part. The other half cannot be staged: your hands finding each other under the table, the unguarded burst of laughter, the quiet gestures between two people. I want to photograph how you feel, not how you look.

What does "cinematic" wedding photography actually mean?

Frames shot with the eye of a film director, not a reporter — light, composition and color grading chosen to tell a story and carry a feeling, not just document who showed up. It isn't posing and it isn't a filter: I capture real moments, but I choose the light, the angle and the timing carefully, so they read like scenes from a film rather than snapshots. The full explanation here →

Do we need a second photographer?

As I often say, a second photographer adds great value to the final wedding album, but is never absolutely necessary.

What does the editing include and how long does it take?

The process has three stages: selection (the most time-consuming and the most important one), editing and final grading. My style is “Earthy” — warm, muted tones, a light pastel accent and a nostalgic, retro feel — tones chosen so they will not age with the trends. Selected images are delivered both in colour and in black & white. The maximum turnaround is four months, but I usually finish within 6–8 weeks, depending on the season.

Will we get the RAW files?

I believe handing over all unedited files devalues the artistry and the work that goes into post-production. Still, for those who truly want every photograph from their wedding, it is possible for an additional fee and an annex to the contract.

How do we book you?

Look through my work, then we arrange a meeting — online, at the studio or over coffee wherever suits you. If we're a match, the date is secured with a contract and a deposit. One important thing: I take on only 30 weddings per season, because every couple gets my full attention — so the most sought-after dates go early.

Do you shoot video?

Yes — fully and properly. I shoot video myself, on par with the photography: from a short cinematic trailer to a full film of the day — with my own vision, light and storytelling behind the camera. That's why there is a standalone video package, “Cinema Day”, while “A True Love Story” combines photo and video in one day. I don't hand the most important things to someone else.

Portrait sessions

Corporate & personal brands, graduation portraits, lifestyle sessions — the same eye for beauty, away from the wedding day. A relaxed session built entirely around you, with images that feel natural and do not age with the trends.
