399 words about Professional Wedding Photographer Igor

Hi there and thanks for stopping by! I know you are here for a reason, because you believe (as I do) that photography really matters and can add depth and meaning to your life, not just today, but years down the road.

My name is Igor and I’m an professional wedding photographer in the big and beautiful Dallas-Fort Worth, TX.

I was born in Spain's Costa del Sol and thereafter raised with lots of love in sunny Spain and in snowy Sweden. I graduated from Stockholm University with a major in geography.

I have to tell you that I was not born with a camera in my hand, and I'm not going to tell you that I'm the best wedding photographer in the world or that I have a lot of fancy awards collecting dust. It's my goal to let my photos do most of the talking and I hope that they convey my deep love and appreciation for beautiful, passionate and creative wedding photography.

I'm also not going to tell you the cheesy photographers story that one day as a kid "my grandfather gave me a camera and since then everything has been a marvelous photographic journey", because it hasn't. I have enjoyed many diverse interest and jobs through my life, but photography has nevertheless been an important way for me to express my artistic side since my childhood.

In my early twenties I was deciding between different career choices and two of my biggest passions, I was split between becoming a professional pilot or a professional photographer. After "flipping a coin" I decided to move to Florida for flight training. After 15 years and a successful pilot career, including jobs as a USAFA flight instructor, corporate and airline pilot, I decided to change gears and give my other passion a serious go. I quickly started to gain momentum as a part time wedding photographer in Dallas- Fort Worth until I made it my only full time career, since then I have never looked back. I'm very happy and grateful for it, and I hope you are too, wink, wink! (;

I can confidently tell you that I'm not your ordinary wedding photographer

I'm definitely not the wedding photographer for everyone. I want to get to know you as much as I want you to get to know me, it's important in order to create the wedding photography that you deserve. I value and respect my clients and they respect, value me and my art. You will never hear me tell you "say cheese" or do something that makes you feel uncomfortable. I believe that the best smile is a real one and often, it's OK not to.

I believe in the beauty of people regardless of sexual preferences, age, religion, culture or race. I always promote an environment of confidence and body positive experience. I thrive on capturing a mixture of creative images, contemporary poses, true wedding emotion, as well as a few unexpected humorous moments.

I believe in my wedding photography as both work of art and as the perfect way to document your wedding story. I photograph for both your story line and to create stand alone pieces of wedding art that will stand the passage of time.

My assistant and I would love to creatively collaborate with you and your wedding vendors, so we can make your vision for fantastic wedding photos and video a reality. We are determined to make a positive difference in the lives of others by creating memorable experiences, artful wedding photos and family heirlooms .
