Aljaz Hafner

I prefer my coffee not too hot and not too cold. When done right, it gets my creative juices flowing. Just like great movies, TV series, and visual arts. I can find my inspiration almost everywhere, but there is no better inspiration than in people close to me. I love insightful conversations, honest opinions, and meeting interesting people (again, perks of my job). I use my camera as a medium to tell stories.

When taking photos, I don’t strive just to make technically impeccable pieces of art. My style is also not just documentary-journalistic. I want to find those genuine emotions that come out in exceptional moments. It’s the heart that really speaks volumes in art, even more so in wedding photography. As an unapologetic optimist I always try to look on a bright side of life. I truly, madly, deeply like light; preferable natural and in the late PM hours. Timing is everything. Because at the end of the day, time is more valuable than anything and I love to share great deal of it with my beloved Eva and son Gal.

How would you describe your style?

My style is not just documentary-journalistic. I want to find those genuine emotions that come out in exceptional moments. I truly, madly, deeply like light; preferable natural and in the late PM hours. Timing is everything. Otherwise I am unobtrusive and like to document your wedding day as it flows.

What do you love about weddings?

I love how happy everyone is. I love those genuine emotional moments during the ceremony, speeches or at the portrait session where bride and groom can breath in and take their time for themselves and have the chance to feel each other.

What advice would you give to couples looking for their perfect wedding photographer?

Listen to your heart when searching for photographer. Photography is visual art and choosing the right photographer should not be just rational decision.

What's your travel policy?

I love to travel and am even happier if I can travel to shoot a special story somewhere.
