I am a documentary WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER based in California. Born and raised in Prague, I moved to the west coast in 2018, fell in love with both the landscapes and a girl and now happily live in San Diego and work alongside my wife. I have a background in journalism which makes my approach to weddings a bit different. I love that weddings are a transition from one life chapter to another, and that deserves to be properly documented. Not in a sterile or predictable way but with all the joy and chaos of a wedding day and all the people who play a role in this season of your life. I'm a big fan of imperfect photos of imperfect moments if they speak directly to the heart. The pretty flowers but also the rain. The hugs, the sunsets, but also the spilled wine. Documenting > performing. Memories > Visuals. That's why I love weddings, 9 years and counting.

He managed to capture all the most wonderful, funny, overseen moments of our wedding. We all look beautiful on the pictures and yet so natural. Lukas is listening to whatever wishes you might have but still has a clear way. His guidance has been always helpful. Don't expect anything stiff. The pictures will be alive!!! Not only is his work amazing but his presence at our wedding was a real blessing. We can only highly recommend Lukas. Grateful newly weds.
I have only seen a few preview photos thusfar - but I am in love with the product. I cannot wait to see the rest! His editing is beyond perfect for forest weddings, or photoshoots - he does a tremendous job of capturing the rich life of the forest. He also really captures the moody Pacific Northwest, if you are so lucky to have a rainy day like we did!
Lukas shot a friends big wedding last summer and I loved those photos. Due to COVID, we had last-minute changes and decided to do a microwedding in Portland, but we were unsure of location. Not only was Lukas excited and responsive to the idea of a microwedding, he was also extremely flexible and even offered helpful suggestions for us. 10/10 communications leading up to the wedding. On the wedding day itself, Lukas arrived and brought a very calm energy. He was chill and unimposing but somehow was around to capture all the sweet "in between" moments. As someone extremely uncomfortable with photos, he helped create a peaceful and easy atmosphere that allowed us to just be ourselves. All the guests loved him (he loves the Timbers and dogs, so was embraced by the family). But most importantly -- the photos. We cried looking through them. I love the editing that Lukas does that captures the PNW light and vibe. He perfectly curated the photo selection to tell a story, and the album is full of wonderful candid moments. He is a true artist. If you're looking for a laid back photographer with incredible talent and ability to take candid photos full of emotion, I'd book him in a heartbeat. PS. He is very good at nature and outdoor shots!
