David Christian Lichtag is a documentary wedding photographer who works on destination weddings, mostly in Italy and Switzerland. He describes his style in five words: documentary, candid, vivid, natural and intimate, with a sixth, minimalist. His focus is human emotion without artificial adornment, the laughter, joy and happiness of the people he photographs.
I’m happy to travel to capture your wedding celebrations wherever they take place.David Lichtag, photographer
David Lichtag Wedding Photography
He grew up near Brno in the Czech Republic and trained as a pianist before turning to painting, installation, photography and video. In his late teens he photographed a rock band on tour, shooting black and white film and developing it himself in a garage. He says that experience of fast, low-light, unpredictable situations prepared him for weddings.
On the day he blends into the flow of the celebration. He is there from the early preparations to the dance floor, and he asks couples not to pose or pretend, so that the expressions between them are real. He meets his couples the day before the wedding to go through the details, and holds video calls beforehand.
