Testimonials
Thank you so much for taking those incredibly beautiful pictures! They are awesome!!!! You captured some amazing moments that will stay with us forever!
We think you have a very unique style. You’re able for each wedding not to impose your style but to capture and showcase the couples “dynamic”/mood/style. We’ve rarely seen that. Most photographers’ weddings all look the same - as if the couple could be anyone.
We hope you tell that to clients and in workshops - it’s your biggest asset!!
- Trina & Pierre, Paris, France

About my photography
"It is no coincidence that in the hands of wedding photographer Samo Rovan, the camera reflects passion, sincerity and warmth. It is these same qualities with which he approaches all of his subjects. It is also why people have sought him out time and time again, asking him to photograph them or for them. Framed by beautiful destinations, an architect’s sense of space and structure, Samo’s work pulls into focus the unique and pure emotion of the moment. The feeling always wins in his photographs. In his expert hands, Samo captures the story of the event, the couple and their guests. It is a story that transcends the day, a story that Samo intends to be relayed and understood by future generations - the children and grandchildren of the couple. This is a grand vision, but nonetheless, one that this award-winning photographer captures within each beautiful moment. Samo’s positive energy, humor and complex compositions not only define his work but have also elevated him to an award-winning photographer, as well as a speaker at international wedding photography conferences, where he sheds a light on the complexity in photography. He has an ability to create stories that have layers and strong content, which is brought into focus through his passion and sense of humor. It is a unique combination of compelling qualities to which we can all feel when admiring his work."
