Bodrogi Dávid

Hello!

I’m Dávid Bodrogi, please just call me Dávid!

I have been taking photos since I was a little child; it is my family's and friends' legacy. Although I have just turned 30, I have been photographing for more than 20 years. Photography, the magic of frozen moments, captivated me from the first second. I was excitedly looking at the pictures even when I was 8-9 years old; this childlike wonder has been driving me ever since. I was enamoured by movies, especially American popcorn movies and cartoons. These two great loves of mine have been defining my life ever since, as I went to England after high school to study film directing. During high school, I became a member of the Hungarian Journalists' Association and photographed a lot of things, for example, NB1 football (this has remained my hobby), youth camps and theater, among others, but I did not dare to take on the wedding, even though many people told me for years that it was too much responsibility for me. 

After I graduated in England, I photographed my first wedding in London, alongside another photographer, now I also photograph these love stories with several years of experience, enjoying all their beauty and every moment of them. It's fantastic that just my presence is enough to capture beautiful moments, I like to document events and not overly direct them. I tend to leave space for you to experience funny, touching and honest emotions with your partner, mom or grandpa. I usually have a playful semi-instructed photoshoot as part of the big day; these are short dates within a wedding. Through games based on theatre pedagogy, you'll forget that I'm there and only focus on each other’s laugh and joy, this helps you to quickly relax, enjoy and to be present in the moment. During these moments, many light hearted words and kind affirmations tend to fly out of my mouth, creating an open and safe environment is my main goal. I'm always looking for new things, the unique moments that make your wedding truly yours, this could be when you dance with your 90-year-old grandmother after midnight, when you put on your rainbow-colored wedding dress or when your fiancé sings a song written for you, for your wedding day. One of my favourite pictures is when one of my couple’s daughter cried during her parents wedding day, it's a very beautiful and touching moment. At the end of a wedding, it's fairly frequent that I say goodbye with a hug from the couple, family members or even a guest, when this happens, I know I did my job well and we had a connection I gave them more than a service and I got more than a job, we got a memory to cherish.

I hope that this is how we will celebrate your wedding and your love!

 What I am proud of:

  • Az ország vezető esküvői fotósaitól is tanulhattam esküvőkön, workshopokon.
  • Several of my photos have been published in international and national newspapers, such as Elle and Nemzeti Sport (National Sport).
  • I graduated from the Film Department of the Norwich University of the Arts with Honors from the Vice Chancellor.
  • Angliában és Magyarországon is több kiállításon is szerepeltek fényképeim, az Utazás a szívem körül című önálló kiállításomat féltucatnyi galériában mutattam be. Ezen a kiállításon verseim és izlandi tájképeim tekinthetőek meg. Az Érzések dinamikája című balett kiálításom is több galériában volt látható.
  • My short film, "Tale of Life", was shown in two cinemas and festivals in Hungary, it was a semi-finalist at the Independent Film Festival in Prague and was shown at dozens of festivals from Warsaw to Los Angeles.

What I love:

  • Friends and good company inspire me and give me great joy, it's part of why I love weddings. I get to meet a lot of new people and have new ideas about the World.
  • A zenét minden mennyiségben, imádok koncertekre járni legyen szó chill handpanről vagy a Sum41 zúzosabb zenéiről (Muszáj egy rövid listát itt hagyni a legnagyobb kedvencekről: Queen, AC DC, Edvard Grieg, Dragon Force, Esti Kornél, Billie Eilish).
  • Biztosan „hihetetlen”, de filmesként moziba járni is nagy szenvedélyem (Itt se tudom kihagyni, hogy egy rövid listát ne írjak: Star Wars, Tizenkét dühös ember, A király beszéde, Időről-Időre, Indiana Jones, Vissza Jövőbe).
  • My two puppies, although, if I want to be a little honest, especially Barnika, who, even as a 30 kg Hungarian Vizsla, thinks that he is a lapdog. 
  • Everything that is art (poems, ceramics, graphics, etc.)!
  • Morning teas, especially during autumn. Fruit teas are gifts from God!
  • Being active (learning new things, languages) and traveling a lot. I would like to go to or go back to many more places, China and Brazil are examples of the former, while Iceland and Greece (I hope to photograph weddings in there one day.) are examples of the latter.
