Rares Ion

I’m Rares Ion — a wedding photographer from Cluj‑Napoca and a "wedding storyteller." I work with a minimal, honest approach: I don’t stage scenes or force smiles. I prefer to follow natural light and real stories — tears, stolen laughs, looks that say everything. Couples who choose my style receive an authentic visual narrative, not just a set of images. Why choose me for your wedding photography? Because I put your relationship at the center. I treat you like friends, not just "clients." I communicate ahead of time, learn your personalities and adapt the flow of the day so each important moment is captured naturally. I’ve photographed weddings across Transylvania, Bucharest and many cities in Europe, so my experience in diverse settings ensures flexibility and calm throughout your event. My approach: documentary storytelling with a minimalist aesthetic. I follow the event attentively, observe details and sincere reactions, and turn them into images that bring you back to that feeling. I like to use natural light as much as possible and to continue the story after dusk, capturing the atmosphere created by ambient lights or candles. The result is a coherent portrait of your day, with emotion and discreet elegance. How do we work together? We start with an honest conversation — the day’s schedule, your expectations, and the places that mean something to you. If you wish, we can arrange a pre‑wedding/engagement session so you feel comfortable in front of the camera before the big day. On the wedding day I’m present to build your story naturally, without pressure. At the end you receive a carefully edited selection and the option of a hand‑crafted album designed like a book of your moments. I’m primarily based in Cluj‑Napoca but I travel frequently across Romania and Europe. I keep a limited number of bookings each year to offer personal attention to every story. If you identify with this vision and are looking for a wedding photographer who captures the authenticity of the day, write to me — I’d love to hear your story and turn it into memorable images.
