(he/him)

Bride&Groom.video started with an editing team of one: Petro. He’s been with us since nearly the beginning, turning your wedding films into a polished final project. Today, he’s responsible for training and organizing a team of more than 50 video editors. He also studies the latest techniques and tools before teaching the team how to implement them — one of Petro’s favorite parts of his job. Mixing audio for clients is another favorite of his, which fits perfectly with his background in acoustic engineering.
