Documentary wedding photographer based near Zlín and Luhačovice. I create natural, emotive wedding photos with candid portraits and a relaxed atmosphere throughout your day. Authentic moments captured discreetly.
Hi, I’m Pavel Malaník and I approach weddings with both heart and mind. As a documentary wedding photographer I prefer real moments over staged setups — I look for genuine laughter, the tears of moved parents, or the fleeting glance between newlyweds that words can’t describe. I love photographing the whole day: from preparations through the ceremony to the evening party — that way a complete story emerges which you can relive again and again through the photos. My approach is simple: be unobtrusive, prepared, and open to improvisation. I carry two professional DSLR cameras at all times so I can react quickly to what’s happening without interrupting the flow of the wedding. I try to intervene as little as possible; where guidance helps, I give gentle direction so portraits feel natural rather than artificial. I don’t believe in long posing — I photograph people in motion and let them be themselves. Why choose me? Above all because I focus on authenticity and a calm, friendly attitude. I know how to handle unexpected situations and how to preserve the atmosphere without unnecessary stress. Pre-wedding communication is important to me — I enjoy talking about your ideas, places you love, and the types of images you’d like to display at home. I primarily work in the Zlín and Luhačovice regions, but I’m happy to travel wherever your wedding takes place. Besides weddings, I also photograph couples and families for pre-wedding or lifestyle sessions if you want natural-style portraits before or after the big day. Still, my main passion and expertise are documentary wedding photography — authentic images that capture your day as it truly happened. If you’d like to discuss dates or the style of photography, please write or call. I’d be glad to meet, chat about your plans, and clarify the story we can create together.
