I’m somewhat of a man with two faces — during the week, I’m a military lawyer, and on weekends, a wedding videographer. I love sunsets in the mountains, cocoa, sunrises by the sea, Asian cuisine, minimalism, beer specials, simplicity, the taste of mangoes, reading about the past, pork knuckle, thinking about the future of humanity, triathlon and a few people around me :)) Based in Olomouc, I travel across the country and beyond to capture wedding stories. And here’s my story of how I got into videography.

I went through the typical progression. You start by editing low-quality vacation videos, gradually improve, and then friends ask if you can film their wedding. You shoot it on a small action camera, and they’re thrilled and surprised with the results. More people start reaching out, you begin investing in professional gear, and before you know it, you’ve fallen deep down the “videography rabbit hole.”

Suddenly, here you are! You’ve started a business, invested in video equipment worth as much as a trip around the world in 365 days, your calendar is packed, and you can’t wait for the next wedding. You’re just as excited to spend dozens of hours editing, color grading, and sound designing the footage, hoping the next bride will tell you how her family went from tears to bursts of laughter while watching your video. That never gets old for me!

As a practicing lawyer, I’ve sometimes sat with my head in my hands over a difficult case, imagining myself selling coffee — people come to me happy and leave even happier. The law has never, and will never, give me that (it gives me other things), but videography fulfills that dream, keeps fulfilling it, and will continue to do so — it gives me balance in life.
