Destination wedding in Croatia
Every morning we wake up sincerely fulfilled, grateful for the energy and emotion that every destination wedding in Croatia brings into our lives.
If you’ve been dreaming of a destination wedding in Croatia, Martinis Marchi on the island of Šolta offers the perfect blend of history, elegance, and seaside charm.
What makes us feel so fulfilled is the fact that we had a chance to photograph love in almost all parts of our beautiful unique country through our creative work in destination weddings in Croatia.
A special excitement and a glimpse of joy is present in our thoughts each time we are invited to a city we have not been in, especially when it comes to the island. This time we sailed to the island of Šolta where we managed to run away from our everyday life and relax in this small piece of heaven thanks to our work. We were in a small town characteristic by the centuries-old houses made of stone. Those places where you can feel history always have a certain special charm. It was a pleasure to have a walk through this picturesque Mediterranean small town, enjoy a sweet juicy taste of a fig picked directly from the old tree and enjoy the breeze of the fresh salty air.
This Šolta wedding is a story of love, emotions, laughter, but above all – a constant presence of pure happiness. The two of them, a blessed enamored couple and their three children, a fruit of their love, beautiful souls full of positive energy. As soon as we met those people we were delighted by the pursuit of happiness and we could hardly wait to turn on the cameras and record everything they had prepared for us. And, believe us, there was a lot! We met the girls while they were preparing in the main room at the very top of the tower of the villa Martinis Marchi.
This stunning venue is one of the most exclusive places for a destination wedding in Croatia, especially for couples seeking a unique island experience.

We know, we know – it sounds just like a fairytale. Although everything seems too good to be true, we are witnesses of the magical moments we have experienced with this joyful couple. And we can for sure say that this wedding is just like that – a true fairy tale. In the meantime, the boys were in another part of the villa Martinis Marchi so that their girls could prepare properly without interruptions. As boys are always filled with energy that is accumulated when something big is about to happen, we don’t even have to explain what a mess there was! They’re suits were all over the room. No one even knew which suit belonged to who, but it was just as fun to us as to this dream team of friends. The bride and groom have made every effort to make each of the boys have the same suit whose inner layer was filled with photographs of the couple. We have been through a lot of weddings but we always love seeing innovative and creative ideas – they
certainly say a lot about the couple.
I adore seeing a bride and a groom standing in front of the altar with a smile shining on their face while giving mutual consent to spend the rest of the life together.
On the other side, in the tower, girls were getting ready in a completely opposite situation. They knew the order and, just like in the movies, all of this reminded us of the typical differences between men and women. It was very funny to see this in a real life scenario. In the women’s zone most of the attention was paid to the little bridesmaids. They were actually sisters whose parents are the main characters of this story. They had perfect little dresses and they looked like real princesses. One of our favorite photos is the one of two of them sitting on the ground and looking at their mom’s wedding dress with admiration. A magical scene you probably could never get bored of.
Finally the girls were ready, guests were at their places in the Martinis Marchi wedding venue, and the ceremony could officialy begin. I adore seeing a bride and a groom standing in front of the altar with a smile shining on their face while giving mutual consent to spend the rest of the life together. After the ceremony, tears of joy, laughter and the first kiss of the joined two, we took some time and photographed the happy couple. We enjoyed in the role of Šolta wedding photographers while walking down to the sea with them in order to make their memories last forever. We did our job very relaxed and easy thanks to the bride and groom who are, before all, true friends who feel so natural next to each other.
Top Reasons to Choose a Destination Wedding in Croatia
From the breathtaking coastlines to centuries-old stone villages, Croatia offers the perfect setting for a wedding filled with character and charm. Whether you’re planning an intimate island elopement or a luxurious celebration by the sea, a destination wedding in Croatia delivers unforgettable beauty at every turn.
Thinking About a Wedding in Croatia?
If you’re dreaming about your own wedding in Croatia, here are a few helpful tips we’ve gathered from working with couples across the coast. Whether it’s an intimate elopement on an island or a celebration in a historic villa, these little insights can make a big difference.
1. Choose the right season
Summer in Croatia sounds like a dream, but it can also get crowded and expensive. July and August are peak season — hot, lively, and full of tourists. For a more relaxed experience with gorgeous light and softer vibes, go for May, June, or September. The weather’s still beautiful, and you’ll have more space to breathe (and dance).
2. Work with a local wedding planner
Planning a wedding from abroad can be overwhelming. A local wedding planner knows the area, the vendors, and the hidden gems — plus, they’ll handle all the logistics and language barriers for you. Trust me, having someone on the ground changes everything.
3. Pick a venue that fits your vibe
From seaside villas and olive groves to medieval forts and island chapels — Croatia has it all. But don’t choose a venue just because it looks good in photos. Think about the atmosphere, natural light, sound, and what it feels like to actually be there. Your venue sets the tone for the entire day.
4. Think about the guest experience
When you’re inviting friends and family to travel across the world for your big day, their journey matters. Organize simple transfers, suggest fun local spots, or plan a welcome dinner. These moments make the wedding week feel like an experience, not just a ceremony.
5. Don’t skip the legal stuff
Getting legally married in Croatia is possible, but paperwork can be time-consuming. Many couples choose to handle the legal part at home and have a symbolic ceremony in Croatia. It looks the same, feels the same — just with way less stress.
6. Hire local photographers and creatives
Locals know the light, the mood, the best angles at your venue, and how to move without disrupting the moment. Instead of flying in a whole team, trust those who already live and breathe this part of the world. Your photos will feel more authentic and timeless.
7. Embrace the local culture
Let a little bit of Croatia into your celebration. Maybe a traditional Dalmatian klapa singing at the ceremony, homemade rakija as a welcome drink, or fresh Adriatic seafood for dinner. These details are what make your wedding feel truly connected to the place — and unforgettable for everyone.
We’ve picked up these tips along the way — between sunsets, vows, and late-night dancing under the stars. Every couple brings something unique, but these small things always help make the day feel even more meaningful.
From golden hour portraits to candlelit dinners by the sea, every detail of this destination wedding in Croatia tells a story of love, elegance, and intimacy.
