WHO AM I, AND WHY VIDEOGRAPHY?
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, my library, 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.
WHY DO I SEE SUCH VALUE IN A FAMILY FILM?
Why am I so deeply fascinated by filmmaking? Because it captures the present — a fleeting, unrepeatable moment — and film is perhaps the only true way to relive the past… and relive it again. Imagine, for instance, a moment that just passed with someone you truly care about. Can you already see it flashing before your eyes? Beautiful. Right now, it might seem trivial. But what would you give to relive it 50 years from now?
I speak from personal experience — our family has preserved 8mm analogue filmstrips from the 1970s capturing everyday life: walks in the woods, skating on frozen ponds, family celebrations, Christmas, and more. Back then, it may have seemed ordinary. But today, these films are priceless — they bring tears to the eyes of those who remember, and of the descendants of the smiling faces on those black-and-white reels… most of whom are no longer with us. Film only grows more valuable with time — and it’s a real shame not to have it for once-in-a-lifetime events like weddings. Take a moment. Breathe. Reflect. Feel the magic.
As a wedding videographer, my aim is to create films that feel modern, yet remain timeless — stories that move people to laughter and tears, even 50 or 100 years from now. If they can carry the same atmosphere and emotional weight as my grandfather’s black-and-white films, I’ll know I’ve done my job.
