Hello

My name is Istvan Magyar, I'm a wedding photographer known for my documentary-style approach and genuine love for people. I am based in Edinburgh, Budapest and Milano. With over a decade of professional experience, I take pictures for laid-back couples who desire stress-free photography on their wedding day.

Kind words

"From first speaking with Istvan, we were struck by his genuine love and passion for photography.

His photos of our Wedding Day captured every moment beautifully and show his sensibility and artistry, which we fell in love with on first seeing his portfolio."

Nuala and John


"Istvan has created the perfect wedding album for us.

He listened to what we wanted, and more than delivered, he couldn’t have worked harder! He seemed to be everywhere at once but always stayed unobtrusive. Some photos completely took us by surprise. Choosing between them to make our wedding album is going to be very hard."

He was never far from the action although we were scarcely aware of his presence. Istvan is incredibly gifted and wonderful to work with.
