Damien Milan, a self-described dreamer and nomad at heart, never initially planned to embark on a career as a wedding photographer. His photography journey was fueled by an insatiable thirst for exploring new places and cultures, where he discovered the captivating interplay between people, emotions, and landscapes.
What truly resonates with Damien is the unique window that weddings provide into the lives of others for a single day. Being entrusted to narrate people's stories on one of their most significant days is an enriching experience for him. Should you choose to have him accompany you on your journey, he is committed to immortalizing your memories in a genuine, unfiltered, and timeless manner.
When documenting these stories, Damien prefers to assume the role of a quiet observer, capturing the moment's essence. Light is the cornerstone of his work, and he is always eager to experiment with it deliberately and artistically.
In all of Damien's photography packages, you can expect the inclusion of 35 mm film coverage. He values how film photography encourages a more intentional approach, finding the analog process meditative and boundary-pushing. The beautiful imperfections inherent in film align perfectly with the enduring quality of his work.
A testament to his skill, some of Damien's images have earned recognition as the Best of the Best Wedding Photographers globally for two consecutive years. However, he derives the most satisfaction from the trust and connections he has forged with clients during his more than 10-year journey as a wedding photographer.
Although Damien hails from Belgium, he relocated to Australia in 2007. Today, he considers the Blue Mountains his home near Sydney, where he resides with his wife Nastia, their delightful daughter Mia, and their feline companion Frida. As his relatives still live in Belgium, they seize the opportunity to travel to Europe during the summer to visit them and capture a select number of destination weddings. Damien is currently open for bookings for the summer of 2025 in Europe.
