I am Nikola Saev.
The person behind the lens. My passion is to take photographs. What led me to Wedding Photography is the thrill in capturing romantic love stories all over the country - from mountain forests to sea shores. I am a seeker of layers - I get inspired by every couple's unique story, the way you embrace, get close, laugh, frown and whisper to each other.
My journey so far has been filled with fun, impulse and adrenaline. I have to be honest - shooting so much intriguing Weddings and Romantic stories across definitely adds spice to all things, the feeling is an unnatural joy.
I get excited in the moments before starting a shoot, usually in my car getting to the location. I guess, it is much like with the actors before they go on stage? Therefore, when I get to the location and I greet the people, I start making photographs almost straight away. Any impatience goes away with just a several clicks of the shutter and I get to ride my game.

For me...
To photograph is to go against the inevitability of Entropy.
It is an attempt to create a grain of Order in the midst of Chaos.

HOW I Make A SPARK?
As soon as I started in Wedding Photography I was captivated by the creativity it offers. Weddings are far from ordinary events and I strive to capture their essence in every shot. I pride myself on being more than just your typical event photographer!
I believe my couples deserve to have their love story told in a truly authentic way, so I go beyond the conventional. Part of my approach are the types of cameras I use on the Wedding day.
You would see me carrying some pretty weird gear. Instead of big lenses, flashes or strobes, I carry manual focus, tactile cameras. Click-clack Boujee and a touch of nostalgia! And yes, film rolls too. Digital is allure on its own(and it is assured), but there's something undeniably special about the timeless charm of analog photography. A physical beautiful little thingy, which evokes emotions we can't replicate digitally.
Curious to see how film enhances the magic of a wedding day? Check out the stunning results below.
WHat I do fits best to
Couples who want to know new experiences, new freedoms of expression. Inlove, who wish to see themsleves inlove and care about the beautiful in their own story.
Do you recognize yourselves already?
THEY DID!
“We were so worried we wouldn't be able to relax in front of the camera and seem awkward, but you just got us so calm, took away the tension and we really had fun. We didn't think at all we are going to see so passioante, romantic selves. We are sure that you were the right person for us.”

Not long ago I joined the most progressive photographic community in Bulgaria - Before Creating Academy. First as a student, now I grew up to teach classes of my own. To share my knowledge and know-how with other aspiring photographers, to discuss photography and to guide them in becoming authors themselves, this is the greatest reward I could wish for!
