photographer & videographer

Kaloyan’s photography journey dates back to 2004. His passion for photography brought him many international achievements and successes, among which a Photograph of the year in a National Geographic’ contest. That same photo turns into a main shot for hundreds of exhibitions worldwide, including cities like Paris, New York, Dubai, London, Berlin and even Mexico City. Following these events, Kaloyan works as well with WWF on projects related to the conservation of various species of protected wild animals. His work again catches the attention of industry leaders like Nikon, Canon, WWF, National Geographic and BBC. His shot again wins all 1st place prizes and that places Kaloyan among the history’s youngest photographers ever published by the worldwide editions of National Geographic and BBC. Meanwhile Kaloyan manages to build one of the biggest photography studios in Bulgaria for individual and couples photoshoots. For the last 7 years he photographed more than 1000 couples. After he is done with this project, his sense for capturing the moment and his vision lead him to focus his skills on wedding photography and videography. Shooting couples on their most special day is what makes him feel happy and to keep doing what he is good at.
Interesting fact: Kaloyan begins his photography’ journey when he is walking home one day, on a cold February day, and he finds a white box with a lens inside. What happened after that you can ask him over a cup of coffee.

Boris' photography path dates back to the period around 2008. That's the year he got his first camera as a gift and his passion about photography is starting to rise. Since then he's been working on various projects and photographed numerous events, among which music festivals, sports events and others.
During that time, he also worked as a licensed sports agent, which helped him develop that feeling about what his clients want and is best for them. Boris worked on an international level with many sports celebrities and that helped him to develop the ability to deal with situations filled with pressure, which is crucial for everyone working at your wedding on this special day.
Lastly, Boris would like to share why he decided to continue his photography journey with wedding and couples photography - but that's something you'll have to ask him personally (again over a cup of coffee, but keep in mind he drinks more than 4 on a daily basis).

How it all began and why do we call ourselves The Suricates?

Recently we had a discussion with our soulmates and they mentioned that they visualise us as suricates. The truth might be out there somewhere, because we love to do things that have some kind of idea and purpose in them, more like a mission. Both of us and our soulmates are huge animal lovers and that’s the reason we always strive to help and participate in various causes and projects on this topic. This time we focus our efforts on the zoos and more specifically as a beginning on the Sofia Zoo. With this project we would like to help finance the creation of new living spaces for the animals – like outdoor dedicated areas and cages, whose purpose will be to make the suricates feel as close as possible to their natural habitat. As well there will be things like special lightning, food delivery and the necessary veterinary care for each animal.

Having said all this, you are also helping us achieve our goal, because every time you book one of our services, we are dedicating a % of our income that goes directly for the abovementioned cause. And to be transparent to you, our clients and supporters, we will be updating you on this matter.

Going back to the initial question – the suricates are very curious and social animals and live in groups, where one of them remains continually “alert” and signals the others of the group about upcoming danger and keeps an eye on the situation.

They never miss a single moment – so now you know why The Suricates. 🙂
