Fotograf Ondrej Čechvala

Hi, I'm Ondrej — a wedding photographer based in Brno. My main passion is documenting real, unstaged moments from your wedding day. My approach is documentary/reportage: instead of directing posed shots, I wait for the right moment and photograph the emotions, movement and interactions that make your day unique. The result is a set of images that not only look beautiful but also tell the story of your wedding. Why choose me? Because I blend in with your guests — you’ll often notice me less as a “professional with a camera” and more as a friendly presence who’s where something important is happening. This lets me capture sincere congratulations, laughter, small touches and fleeting moments that won’t come back. My style relies on natural light, careful observation and gentle guidance during portraits so your wedding photographs feel relaxed and authentic. How do we work together? I like to start with a short meeting — online or in person — where we discuss your plans, what matters most to you on the day and what kind of flow you expect. On the wedding day I remain unobtrusive but ready to capture both the major moments (ceremony, congratulations, first dance) and the small episodes that give the celebration character. If you want an engagement or couple session, I’m happy to include it as an add-on — it helps loosen things up and produces lovely portraits that complement the reportage series. My work is rooted in a long-standing interest in documentary photography — I studied at the Institute of Creative Photography and my reportage work has been awarded and published. That experience gives me the calm decision-making needed even in unpredictable wedding-day situations. I mainly photograph in Znojmo, Brno and across Moravia, but I’m happy to travel wherever you invite me. If you’re looking for a wedding photographer who values authenticity over posed shots and will create a gallery full of emotion and stories, get in touch — let’s photograph your day so it feels just as alive years from now.
