Wedding film
The Vavro wedding
A short film of their wedding day, from getting ready to the first dance.
Photography, film and design from Prievidza, Slovakia. Weddings, concerts, music videos, portraits, design and websites. From the first idea to finished photos and film.
Latest work, music video 2026
We built the whole video from scratch, from the script to the final cut.
How the video was made
After meeting Scero we put together the first idea, a draft script and the location, Downtown Arena. Then came the idea of trapping him inside himself, in the metaphorical and very real webs of his self-destructive habits.
We shot the whole video in two days right at Downtown Arena, with professional lighting that completed the claustrophobic atmosphere of the webs.
In under two weeks we edited and colour graded it. We went through the result with Scero, polished the last 5 % and delivered the finished video.

Case study
A space-themed festival held on 10 September 2026 in Skotňa Park. I did three things for it, from the logo to photos of the whole day.
The festival's mark, which then appeared on the posters and on the team T-shirts.
The main poster, the guest poster and the full-day programme, all in one style.
Talks, guests, kids at the experiments and the evening programme.
I'm Matej Kakiš, donorvisuals on social media. Everything I do revolves around light. On set I shape it, in the edit I grade it, and at night I catch it in the starry sky.
I work alone or with a small team, so you always talk directly to the person who will be behind the camera.
Four steps from your first message to the finished work.
By phone or message. We talk through what you're planning, when, and how much you need.
Together we fine-tune the plan, location and style, so you know exactly what to expect.
I work discreetly, so you can focus on yourselves and your guests, not the camera.
You get everything by the agreed date. Revisions are included.
I know what it's like to wait for photos of a day you've looked forward to for months. That's why you know in advance when and in what form you'll get them, and nothing is left to chance.
Photos
All your photos in one place, carefully edited. Download them in full quality for print and in a smaller size for social media, and feel free to share the link with family and friends.
Video
You get the finished film in full quality, ready to play on your TV at home or to share. If you like, I'll also cut a shorter vertical version for Instagram and TikTok.
Peace of mind
I send you the finished result, not a work in progress. If you'd still like something changed, two rounds of revisions are included.

The three worries people mention most often, and how it really goes.
“I'm not photogenic and I can't pose.”
You don't have to. Most of the time I shoot discreetly, catching you laughing, talking and hugging. When needed, I'll tell you where to stand and what to do with your hands, and after a few minutes you'll forget the camera is there.
“What if it rains?”
I bring my own lights, so I can create atmosphere in a hall, a church or under a roof. Rain and cloudy skies also give soft light and moody photos you'd never get in the sun.
“How does booking work and when do I pay?”
After the consultation I send you a quote with the scope, price and delivery date. If you're happy, I reserve your date once you pay a 50 % deposit. The rest is paid as agreed in the quote, with no hidden fees.
Can't find your answer? Message me, I reply within 24 hours.
Weddings ideally 6 to 12 months ahead, especially weekends from May to September. For portraits and smaller events a few weeks is usually enough. I'll tell you within 24 hours whether your date is free.
After the consultation I send you a quote with the scope, price and delivery date. The date is yours once you pay a 50 % deposit and from then on I won't give it to anyone else.
Weddings within 14 to 21 days, events and concerts within 14 days. For portraits, music videos and other work, we agree on the delivery date before you confirm.
I don't promise an exact number in advance, it depends on the length and type of the event. You get every good shot and I edit each one. I don't just pick a handful of favourites.
Yes, all over Slovakia and abroad by arrangement. If there's a travel fee, I'll state it upfront in the quote, not on the invoice.
I plan for it. We move the portraits under a roof or into the hall, or grab some umbrellas. Cloudy weather is often an advantage for photos, the light is softer.
Not at all, most people feel that way. I'll help you with posing and shoot discreetly for most of the day, so you'll soon stop noticing the camera.
I send you a finished result, not a draft. But if you'd like something changed, just tell me. Two rounds of revisions are included.
Yes. I'm a registered sole trader and issue an invoice for every job. I'm not VAT registered, so the price in the quote is final.

You wait a long time for your wedding and it's over in a single day. With photos and a film you can live it again, show it to your children and come back to it for years after the last song has played.
Every event takes months of preparation. Make sure it leaves content that shows it. Photos catch the details, the aftermovie catches the energy of the day.
A single deserves more than one video. With the Release Pack you have everything ready for release day: the video, press photos, cover and short clips to kick off the campaign.
