Hi! My name is Mamuka.
A wedding or a love story isn’t just a series of staged shots. It’s a living film about you, your emotions, the smiles of your loved ones, and the atmosphere of the moment.
My goal is to ensure that you aren’t “posing for the camera, ” but are living your day to the fullest, having a blast, and feeling completely at ease. My style is a blend of sincere, candid storytelling and a pure, elegant aesthetic. Thanks to my experience exhibiting internationally (Paris, Milan, New York), I know how to capture the light, spot the most subtle emotions, and produce cinematic-quality images.
The Unique “Two-in-One” Format
I shoot both photos and videos with the same level of professionalism. You won’t need to hire two different vendors who will be getting in each other’s way on set. I create a cohesive visual story of your day, consistent in style and color.
Broad Production Profile
Wedding photography is just one part of my work. In addition to couple shoots, I create turnkey, large-scale commercial content for local businesses and brands (restaurants, showrooms), work in the music industry with DJs and bloggers, and shoot stylish portraits and photo essays. No matter what challenge we face, we’ll deliver top-notch results.
Photography Genres
Georgia is the perfect setting for beautiful stories. I don’t limit myself to just one location and enjoy filming all over the country, offering formats to suit any scale:
- Intimate Weddings and Elopements: A romantic ceremony at the House of Justice in Tbilisi or the 24-hour registry office in Sighnaghi (the City of Love), seamlessly transitioning into a stylish stroll.
- Weddings at Chateau and Wineries in Kakheti: Full-scale celebrations at European-style and authentic Georgian villas nestled among vineyards, featuring sophisticated banquet lighting, an outdoor sunset ceremony, and cinematic production.
- High-Altitude Love Stories and Weddings in Kazbegi: Grand, freedom-filled shots against the backdrop of majestic mountains, ancient temples, and luxury hotels (such as Rooms Kazbegi).
- Live coverage and pre-wedding parties (Welcome Party): Filming of traditional feasts, dinners for guests, and wedding rehearsals anywhere in Georgia.
How We Prepare: A Step-by-Step Process
- Step 1. Booking the Date and Location. We’ll reserve your date upon receipt of a ₾100 prepayment. At this stage, we’ll determine the location—whether it’s Old Tbilisi, the vineyards of Kakheti, or the foothills of Kazbegi.
- Step 2. Planning logistics and the shooting schedule. I’ll help you create a well-thought-out plan for the day, taking into account the unique characteristics of each region. If we’re in Kakheti, we’ll time the ceremony to coincide with the perfect “golden hour” at sunset. If we’re in Kazbegi, we’ll factor in time for the unpredictable mountain weather. I select the best angles and hidden spots known only to local professionals.
- Step 3. Full support on the road and on location. We coordinate transportation in detail. I can join your transfer or drive my own vehicle with all the necessary equipment (lighting, sound, stabilization systems). During the shoot, I create a completely relaxed atmosphere and guide every movement. And of course: if you’re having an intimate wedding ceremony for two in Tbilisi or Sighnaghi and need a witness—I’ll be happy to sign your documents without taking my eyes off the camera.
- Step 4. Quick selection and delivery (just 7 days). You won’t have to wait months for your wedding photos. Within just 7 days after the shoot, you’ll receive all the best shots with my signature color correction and basic retouching on a beautiful wfolio online album.
Featured Stories: Movies About Couples
For me, every couple and every photo shoot in Georgia is a unique creative project. I don’t aim for mass-production; I only take on projects that resonate with me in terms of aesthetics and mood.
In this section, I share selected series where we managed to capture the perfect light, a candid, spontaneous moment, and create a cohesive visual narrative—from the first glance to the final shot.

FAQ / Answers to Questions
What should you do if it rains on your wedding day?
The weather in Georgia can be unpredictable, but that’s not a problem for professional sound and lighting equipment. We always have a Plan B: indoor studios, colorful covered verandas, Tbilisi’s authentic grand entrances, or stylish hotels. Often, it’s on cloudy days that we get the deepest, most cinematic lighting.
We’re really bad at posing. What should we do?
My main goal is to help you let go of that fear. I won’t make you freeze in awkward poses. We’ll go for walks, hug, drink coffee or wine, and laugh. I’ll capture your genuine glances and movements, gently guiding you on how best to position yourselves in the light. The photos will feature you—authentic and in love.
Is travel outside the city included in the price?
Shootings within Tbilisi are included in the base price of the packages. Trips to Mtskheta, Kazbegi, Kakheti, Sighnaghi, or the Tbilisi Sea Reservoir are charged separately (transportation costs and travel time are discussed on a case-by-case basis).
What if we don’t want our photos to be posted online? Is it possible to take photos privately?
Yes, absolutely. I deeply respect your right to privacy. If you’d like a completely confidential photo shoot — with no images posted on my social media, on the wfolio website, or at international exhibitions — just let me know when you book your session. I don’t charge any hidden fees or penalties for confidentiality — we’ll simply note this condition in our agreement.
