30 Rising Stars of Wedding Photography for 2024 by Rangefinder Magazine, New York.

I'm bursting with excitement to share some incredible news! This year, I was nominated for Rangefinder Magazine's prestigious 30 Rising Stars of Wedding Photography award, and guess what? I actually won!

Being recognized by Rangefinder is a huge honor. Every year, they select 150 incredibly talented photographers who are pushing the boundaries of the industry. To be included in the list, you actually have to be nominated by some of the winners from previous years or the top wedding photographer in the entire world. So actually to be featured there is truly humbling.

What makes this award even more special is that, I'm one of the very few film wedding photographers on this year's list. Oh, and definitely the first-ever photographer from Bulgaria! I'm a huge advocate for the timeless beauty and unique aesthetic of film photography, and I'm so thrilled to see it getting recognition on this level.

Winning this award feels like a giant leap forward in my journey. It motivates me to keep pushing my creativity, capture even more breathtaking weddings, and stay true to my analog-first approach.

A massive thank you to Rangefinder Magazine for this incredible honor! And a huge shoutout to all the other winners this year – your work is truly inspiring.
