Hi, I'm MOTIEJUS!
As a destination wedding photographer, who has been recognized with innumerable accolades, I am honored to weave heartwarming stories through my work. My specialization lies in capturing the ethereal love, shimmering light, and unadulterated joy of weddings, seizing those unique and exceptional moments that transpire on this momentous day. To me, weddings are more than just an amalgamation of two people; they are a commemoration of their singular idiosyncrasies and distinct personalities. My objective is to establish an authentic connection with my clients, to comprehend their individual styles and inclinations, and to create an amicable bond of trust and friendship.
Collaborating with you for your wedding is an experience that transcends beyond the mere act of storytelling. It is about delving deep into your persona, and discovering the things you love, and admire. It's about forging a friendship that is rooted in trust, and I genuinely care about it. I want to know your story, your journey, your quirks, your dreams, and your aspirations. In short, I want to know everything that makes you, well, you. Because I believe that it's the intimate details that make the most memorable stories.

MY TEAM OF SUPERHEROES
Lina
Lina is the true backbone of my business. Not only does she provide unwavering support and encouragement as I navigate the ups and downs of growing a photography brand, but she actively helps to run the office and handle communication with clients on a daily basis. Without her hard work and dedication, it's safe to say that my business would not be where it is today.
JULIUS
Simply a playful and energetic dog with a cheerful personality. He is always full of fun and brings joy to those around him. However, his enthusiasm can sometimes be a little overwhelming, especially when you are trying to focus on work. Despite this, Julius is a beloved member of the team and serves as the head of security at the office. He is always alert and ready to protect his coworkers and the workplace for the price of a good snack.
PUMPKIN
Meet the oldest and cutest member of my team. He is a sweet and gentle cat who loves to sleep and eat throughout the entire day. His presence is always a joy and his cute orange eyes are simply fabulous. Despite his laid-back lifestyle and doing mostly nothing, he is a beloved member of our family and brings joy and comfort to everyone who meets him (unless he sleeps somewhere in the house, of course).
HOW DID I FIND PHOTOGRAPHY…
Let me tell you the story of how I stumbled upon my true passion in life: photography. It's funny how things work out sometimes - I never thought I'd end up as a wedding photographer. In fact, I studied history in college and had zero experience with a camera before.
But after I graduated, I decided to give it a shot and started experimenting with photography. From the moment I held a camera in my hands, I knew I had found something special. The feeling of capturing the love story of a couple's most important day was like nothing else, and I loved the experience of meeting new people along the way.
Before I started shooting weddings, I had the amazing opportunity to work at one of the best photography studios in East London. It was an incredible experience that allowed me to grow not only as a photographer but as a person too. Working with clients from all different backgrounds and cultures gave me a truly enriching experience, and I learned so much from them.
As a destination wedding photographer, I've been lucky enough to travel the world and create amazing experiences for my clients. It's a job that I absolutely adore and feel incredibly grateful for. I wouldn't trade it for the world!
MY FAVOURITE THINGS IN LIFE:
LONG WALKS
I absolutely love taking daily walks with my dog at the seaside and in the park. The fresh sea air and the beautiful scenery make for a very relaxing and enjoyable experience and there is no better way to relax. My dog always seems to have a great time running around and exploring all the sights and smells. It's the perfect way to spend a few hours and get some exercise at the same time. Overall, this walk is something I look forward to every day.
MY PETS
These two are the best thing that happened to our family. Having them around the house brings so much joy and love into our life. Watching them interact and play, even when they're annoying each other, is never boring. They bring so much energy and personality into my home, and I can't imagine life without them. They truly are a part of my family and I absolutely adore them.
EXPLORING PLACES
Travelling is simply in my blood. There's just something about the excitement of discovering new places, and cultures, trying new foods, and meeting new people that makes me feel alive. I find that it's the perfect way to take a break from the daily grind and discover new perspectives on life. Whether it's a short trip to a nearby city or a longer adventure to a far-off land, I always come back feeling rejuvenated and inspired.
BOOKS ABOUT PHOTOGRAPHY & ART
No need to say - books rules! I find that reading outside of the wedding photography genre is particularly enriching. It allows me to bring new perspectives and ideas into my work and serves as a great source of inspiration. There is something so special about getting lost in a good book and allowing it to transport you to different worlds and ways of thinking. I always find that after reading, I am rejuvenated and have a renewed sense of creativity and motivation.
TIME TOGETHER
Spending time with my wife outside of work is one of my greatest joys. It helps me to relax and feel rejuvenated after a long day. I am always inspired by her kind, loving nature and the way she brings positivity into my life. Whether we are going on a date night, taking a walk, or just snuggling on the couch, I cherish every moment we get to spend together. She is my rock and I am grateful to have her by my side.
FOOD
Cooking is a great way for me to relax and try out new cuisines with my family and friends. There's something special about coming together and sharing a delicious meal that always makes it a time well spent. Whether I'm trying out a new recipe or just enjoying a classic dish, I always appreciate great food and the joy it brings.
