Behind the Lens
We believe people deserve to be remembered as they really were.
A wedding is full of things you will remember. It is also full of things you never had the chance to see: a look from across the room, a friend trying not to laugh, a hand reaching for another when nobody was watching.
That is where our attention goes.
We are Vojkan & Kate, a photo and film duo based in Skopje, documenting weddings across Europe since 2010.
We are not there to turn your wedding into a production. We are there to understand its rhythm. We observe before we direct, guide gently when it helps, and step back when the moment needs space.
Our approach is documentary at heart, with an attentive eye for composition, light and movement.
We are not interested in manufacturing perfection. The aim is recognition: for you to look at the photographs and films and think, Yes! That is exactly who they are. That is exactly how it felt.
Photography holds a fraction of a second. Film brings back the movement, the voices and the energy around it. In the edit, those fragments become a fuller picture of the day—one that lets you relive what you remember and discover what you missed.
We take on a limited number of weddings each year so every couple, every family and every edit receives the time and attention it deserves.
Calm when the day is loud.
Attentive when it is quiet
If this is how you want your wedding remembered, let’s begin with a conversation.
~ Some Questions ~
When did you became a wedding photographer?
I started shooting weddings professionally in 2010.
Where are you based?
I am based in Europe. More specifically, Skopje, Macedonia.
Will you travel for photography?
Yes.
Describe your style.
I would describe my style as honest. It is, for a lack of better words – storytelling and candid. I try to capture the day as it unfolds and stay true to the emotions during the day. I am an introvert, so trying to be as inconspicuous as possible is my way of doing things. My goal is for you to relax and enjoy the day, while I try to capture those precious fleeting moments that you will show to your children and grandchildren in the years to come. Yes, I do posed shots. Just let me know if you want them.
What? No posed shots?
Of course I do posed shots. Just let me know if you or your guests want them and are OK with me posing them. I do not want to push people in an awkward situation.
How do you prepare for a wedding?
Besides charging batteries and emptying memory cards, I usually ask as much as possible for details: guests, dress code, agenda, venue, group photos needed… I check the weather for the day and prep for a photoshoot. I want to know if there is a special guest (besides the usual suspects) or if there is anything I need to know for the day. In essence, I am preparing to be as little of a burden as possible to the people around me, especially you.
What’s included in your packages?
Whatever I do on the wedding day, the following is part of Every wedding package.
- All photos will be edited with my custom presets (color correction, cropping, tonality, exposure).
- All photos will be delivered in two sizes (for print or web share, in individual folders respectively).
- License to share and print the photos for personal use.
- Online gallery with a selection of photos.
- Help to find a proper print shop.
- A photoshoot on the day (if time allows).
Do you edit your photos?
Yes. I personally edit all of my photos. Every. Single. One.
Is there anything you won’t do?
Yes. I will never sell photos during the wedding day. People from Macedonia know what I mean. For the rest, we just need to talk about what you want. I shoot no more than 30 weddings a year. It is better to recommend a different photographer than to have unhappy and unsatisfied clients.
Are you a pro wedding photographer?
Yes. Being a wedding photographer is my main thing. It is not a hobby or something to do on weekends. I am fully committed to what I do and to my craft.
Anything else?
I am a fan of Monty Python and British comedy in general (Black Adder anyone?).
