Due to the excitement, bride and groom usually focus on all those sweet details which require attention only after solving the key elements that form the basis of any wedding. ADVICE: The first step is to choose your ideal location, set a date and set the limits of your budget, as well as to decide the type of the ceremony (civil, church or symbolic) you would like to have. COMPROMISE It is very important that both, bride and groom participate in the creation of the concept of the ideal wedding. You can write down all your wishes and ideas on a piece of paper, and afterwards you should select those which are most important for both of you. It is important to leave some space for the wishes your parents, especially if they are financially participating in your wedding. ADVICE: Compromise is a key component in balancing the expectations, desires and possibilities. FIND A LOCAL WEDDING PLANNER Be sure you know who is who in the process of planning, organization and coordination of the wedding day. If you have chosen the wedding planner to help you with the wedding, professionals will take care of all the details, you will have time to relax and spend quality time with your guests. ADVICE: It is hard to organize a destination wedding from abroad. Local wedding planners can save you both time and money especially when it comes to choosing vendors. ROLES Your guests are guests, and we highly advise to engage business professionals for all the services. ADVICE: Many couples engage friends for certain roles on their wedding day (you have a friend who is a DJ or a friend who can take photos, etc.) and it usually results with disappointment because the guest will not feel as a guest on your wedding and you, on the other hand, will not have a professional person who can fullfil everything what is expected from him/her. BACK-UP OPTION You have chosen a beach for your dream day. Everything is perfect, the sun is shining, palm trees look just perfect – and all of the sudden, it starts raining! And you? Do you have everything ready for the bad weather and unpredictable situations? ADVICE: Always be sure to have a ready back-up option in case of a bad weather. MUSIC It is important to pay attention to the dynamics of the entire event. Music as the basis of each party must be diverse, adapted to the space and to the guests you have invited. ADVICE: Make sure to choose a different type of music for the ceremony, cocktail reception and dinner. PROGRAM Too long program and too many speeches within the formal dinners can have the opposite effect and ‘shut down’ entertainment. Each speech should not be more than 3 minutes long. ADVICE: Sitting down for too long and having many speeches which last for too long can ‘’kill’’ the party. CONCEPT, DESIGN AND DECORATION You have lots of ideas and inspirations, but do not know how to tie everything together into a unified whole? Create a ‘mood board’ – all the details and ideas put into one place and pay attention that they are compatible. ADVICE: Design and decoration must be unified with the space where the wedding takes place and your wedding dress, hairstyle, make-up, flowers, cake and all details should be a part of this unified concept. PRIORITIES Be sure to think carefully and define priorities – make sure that your budget is well distributed and that you have enough resources for those elements which are really important to you. Someone’s priority is good photographer, somebody else wants good music, and someone will ignore both of these elements and choose the best food and drinks. ADVICE: Choose your priorities and stick to them! Do not forget about each other during the whole process and do not neglect your relationship. Have time to enjoy a romantic dinner, or have fun with your friends … without mentioning the Wedding You are getting married because you want to celebrate the love you feel for each other. Let this always be your guiding principle. With this in mind, planning your wedding will be a real pleasure! Dubrovnik Wedding Planner – Yes I Du Your Dubrovnik Wedding Photographer Published on

Dubrovnik Wedding with a Military Story of Love and Service Eva and Greg Dubrovnik Wedding | Eva and Greg met thousands of miles away from one other. They spent time over the period of a year simply writing and exchanging thoughts on everything from mediocre importance like favorite foods and the news or of monumental importance like kids and religion. Their words and their conversations turned into something more. This courtship separated by countless miles became commitment. A commitment from Greg to travel to Germany and a commitment from Eva to risk everything on this lumbering monster of a man. (lol) The first time they met in Germany during most would say the surroundings were unfit to stoke the fires of everlasting love. Words like cold, harsh, unforgiving were used to describe the weather and surroundings that fall and winter, but Eva and Greg’s love broke through. They suffered annoyance and happiness from the typical hurdles new couples’ experience, moving in together, learning each other’s rhythms, and encouraging each other’s passions. Inevitably Eva and Greg came to a major decision in their relationship. Could they trust each other enough to welcome a new member of their yet to be solidified family? The answer was yes and they chose the Dogo Argentino. The Dogo Argentino is a beautiful headstrong dog that was developed in Argentina. The breeder wanted a dog that would exhibit steadfast bravery and willingly protect its human companions to the death. This was really the true point at which Eva and Greg made an eternal commitment to one another. Cooper their now two and a half year old boy continued to teach Eva and Greg the meaning of trust, unconditional love, and forgiveness the essential parts of any marriage and it is from his commitment to be at their sides, that they too strengthened their commitment to each other. Within a year of bringing Cooper into their lives Greg knew it was time to ask for Eva’s hand in marriage. He nervously spent a day with Eva’s father Siegfried, mother Doris, and Brother Johannes to ask permission and was thankfully given it without incident. Soon after Greg planned to take Eva back to the U.S. and ask the big question, but hardship struck at the worst time. Greg’s Grandfather passed away and Eva was quickly thrown into a scenario where she would have to experience Greg at his worst and also his Father Richard, Mother Michele, and brothers Rick and Mike’s worst of times. Eva carried Greg’s sorrow and fear as her own and through the sadness of this event, the beauty of two people promising their unspoken matters of the heart gave everyone glimmer of hope. The Wedding was set but, “Why Dubrovnik?” one would ask. Eva a German Woman and Greg an American Man had no connection to this city, no history with the Croatian people. Their decision mimicked the tale of their love. They simply fell head over heels in love with the city after only one trip there. Their first visit walking in the old town, dipping in the Adriatic Sea, and sharing the unforgettable sunsets together mimicked exactly what the perfect wedding should have. Dubrovnik has natural beauty and is a constant reminder of the countless couples who devoted their love to one another through time. They declared their love in front of family, friends, God Almighty, and yes also Cooper eternally and forever on September 24th 2015.

Vis Wedding Photography – A Dream Wedding on Croatia’s Hidden Gem Vis Wedding Photography That Tells Your Real Love Story I know it may sound weird that two soulmates can meet in a night club at a trance party, where usually no one talks to each other, but it really is possible. Exactly these two weird soulmates are now the happiest Mr and Mrs on the whole planet…or, we love to believe we are. Back in 2010, even 6 months after I (Fatime) had moved from Bosnia to an Austrian village as au pair, my host family was still trying to motivate me to go out on my own. After so many failed tries, on the 14.8.2010, I finally decided to take the last train from the country side to Vienna and to return back with the first one in the morning. I went to my favorite club which I loved so much, because it was a club with a planetarium where you could sit and enjoy watching the stars when you got tired from dancing. I came to the club with a great wish to dance all night long. Even though a few people tried to talk to me, my answer was always the same “I´m here to dance”. But then, at some point, this cute guy I had noticed in the que in front of the club, he came to me and we simply started dancing. It felt so normal that one would think we had known each other forever. And I do like to think our souls had been together for much longer before we even met each other. It was such a memorable night I can still remember almost every single detail about it. At some point both of us got tired from dancing and went to find a nice place to sit in the planetarium to watch the stars. We stayed there for hours without really talking to each other, but it simply felt like the right thing to do. Unfortunately, we were “kicked out” from the planetarium around 5am and we had another hour to spend together before my train left Vienna. Somehow I managed to give him a wrong phone number and a day after that was the first time I was incredibly thankful for having such a rare name, which made it easy for him to find me on Facebook J. From then on, it all went just perfect. We started dating on the 28.8.2010, which is still our anniversary day, because we got married on the same date this year. We never really used to talk about getting married, probably because we started living together in the fourth month of our relationship and it somehow felt like being married. If I was to say one thing I always loved and still adore about him…it would be him, being such a great dreamer. He always loved to talk about his great wish for traveling around the world once he finishes his master studies and somehow…that moment came so quickly and, suddenly, we were both packing our backpacks and getting ready for our big adventure. couldn’t believe we were really going to be gone for about three months, on our own. And, even if it may sound like a big lie, I never, really never even thought he could be intending to propose on me on our trip. But, he was…and that was without any doubt, the most beautiful day in my life, until our wedding day. There are no words in any language I speak, which could explain my enthusiasm and happiness about getting married to a men a woman can only dream about. I enjoyed every single second of getting all done for our big day. We decided to exchange our wedding vows on the beautiful Croatian Island Vis which we loved it so much, because we had our most beautiful and memorable vacation there back in 2011. I was so happy for having the whole freedom of planning the wedding exactly the way I wanted it and that’s the way the wedding was in the end. My perfect bohemian wedding with our closest family and friends. But, let the most beautiful pics made by Danijela from One Day Studio tell you more about this special day. Thank you Danijela for capturing our most beautiful moments <3 With love, Fatime Photographer: Danijela Location: Island of Vis, Croatia Vis Wedding Photographer | Destination Weddings | Croatia Wedding Photography | Destination Croatia | Wedding Cinematography | Island Vis Croatia | Bohemian Weddings | Venues Croatia | Engagement photography | Garden Wedding
Short history of the wedding photography
Wedding photography is the form of photography related to weddings. It usually covers events a few hours (sometimes even few days) before the couple gets married and the ceremony itself, from the beginning until the very end. The art of the wedding photography evolved since the invention of the first permanent photograph in 1826 by Joseph Nicephore Niepce. Actually, the first official wedding photograph in the world might be from the wedding of Prince Albert and Queen Victoria in 1840. It is interesting to know that at first people didn’t pose for their weddings. On the contrary, they would rather pose in some nice clothes before and after the wedding and it was usual in the first part of the 19th century. In that old times it also wasn’t common to hire a photographer for the wedding. This tradition ended around 1860s, when more and more couples in love wanted a great memory of their big day and they started to hire professional wedding photographers. They would pose in the wedding clothes and photographers would also follow the whole ceremony. But it was a hard work since the photography equipment was very heavy and had so many parts at first. That’s why the first wedding photographs were mainly studio made. In the 1880s the technology became lighter and wedding photographers would follow the couple, their guests and even take photographs of the wedding gifts. And here we are at the beginning of the 20th century. This is the time when the color photography became available. But not to easy! The color photography was far too expensive and also very unreliable so the most wedding photographs were still made in black and white technique. After the Second World War the lightning and roll techniques became available and it was very common for photographers to come to the wedding, make photograph and sell them later, both to the married couple and the guests. It was still the time of the lowquality photographs, but the technology was growing really fast. We can say that the real modern wedding photography as we know it today, started in the 1970s when the wedding photography developed intodocumentary style, meaningdocumenting everything before, during and after the wedding,making memorable albums that will bea great reminder of the wedding for the rest of our lives.
Big Fat Croatian wedding – why?
We all know the comedy movie ‘My Big Fat Greek Wedding’ that conquered all world theaters and put smiles on many faces. Even though some people say they want a small decent wedding, deep down in their hearts they actually dream of the big, white, traditional and, we may say, fat wedding (fat meaning the wedding with lots of nice and tasty foods). So, how about a big fat Croatian wedding? If you have never heard of Croatia seat back, relax and keep reading! Croatia is the newest star on the European Union flag. This is a small country with big potential, mostly in natural and historical resources. This is the country with one of the richest water sources in Europe but also in the world and it’s most famous for its beautiful coastline on the Adriatic Sea. Many people say it is one of the most beautiful seas in the world! Besides the blue sea, there are also thousands (yeah, you read well – thousands!) of islands, islets and peninsulas and this is what makes the whole Croatian Adriatic story so special. One of the Croatian treasure destinations is widely known town of Dubrovnik. It is settled in the south of Croatia, close to the Montenegro border. Dubrovnik is recognized by the medieval walls and is named one of the ten most beautiful medieval cities in the world. Apart from the walls, this town has numerous churches, narrow streets, restaurants and other remarkable old constructions where you could have your ‘big fat Croatian wedding’. It is also good to mention that Dubrovnik is one of the top touristic destinations in the world and its second name is ‘Croatian Athens’! But, Dubrovnik is not the only pearl Croatia can offer. There are many other places that can easily take your breath away and make you to consider having your wedding ceremony exactly there! Just to name a few – town of Rovinj, island of Hvar (the sunniest place in Croatia!), town of Split, Zadar, Šibenik… All of this places offer beautiful nature, most of all clean, crystal blue see, and also old churches, narrow streets, good food… what else do you need for a great wedding? But it’s not only the coast that Croatia can offer. It also has mountainous regions and flat areas. Lika is mountainous region and can be very romantic durring winter, with a lot of snow covering many nice old weekend cottages. On the other side is flat area called Slavonia. Huge green meadows, many rivers and grain fields, numerous medieval churches and castles is what you first notice. Perhaps, one of the places inland could be a prefect place for your wedding! Apart from the beautiful regions of Croatia, this country offers memorable culinary experience, too. One of many secrets to great Croatian food are top-notch ingredients from the land and sea. Sea food is very popular on the coastline and the tastes you feel there will surely make you come again for more. On the continental part of the country very popular meals are made of meat, beans and potatoes prepared the traditional way. Many would agree that Croatia’s untouched natural beauty, healthy food, water, medival architechture, warm, pleasent and hospitable people make it the perfect wedding destination! So why not have a ‘big fat Croatian wedding’?!
Wedding Palmizana Hvar
Wedding Video Palmizana – An Amazing Place to Get Married Have you ever been to Palmizana? If not, let us paint the picture. It’s not just an island — it’s a piece of heaven floating on the Adriatic. Nestled near the more famous Hvar Island, Palmizana is one of those rare places where time slows down, senses awaken, and nature does all the talking. With its lush pine forests, fragrant rosemary, crystal-clear waters, and intimate beach coves, it truly feels like a hidden paradise made for lovers of peace, beauty, and authentic Mediterranean charm. It’s no surprise that Anah and Jon, our radiant couple from the United Kingdom, instantly fell in love with this magical place. They were looking for something truly unique — a wedding that wouldn’t feel like a checklist, but like a dream they were living out with the people who mattered most. And Palmizana delivered on every level. When we first received their message, we were deeply touched. Anah and Jon told us they had come across our work online and were immediately drawn to the way we tell stories — naturally, emotionally, and without pretension. They wanted us to be there, to witness and capture their most special day. It’s always humbling to hear that our films travel far and stir emotions in people we’ve never even met — and when those people invite us into their lives, it feels like a true honor. We met the couple a day before the wedding and were instantly charmed. There was something effortlessly beautiful about them — the way they looked at each other, how they finished each other’s thoughts, and how comfortable they were just being themselves. From the beginning, it was clear that this wouldn’t be a stiff or staged wedding, but rather a relaxed, honest celebration of love, friendship, and joy. The morning of the wedding was peaceful — the kind of peace that only islands like Palmizana can offer. Gentle waves lapping against the docks, sun filtering through pine needles, a few boats floating quietly in the distance. It was as if nature itself was holding its breath in anticipation of something beautiful. Anah got ready in a cozy seaside villa, surrounded by her closest friends. Laughter filled the air as they helped her into her dress, each moment more genuine than the last. No rushing, no stress — just joy, music, and excitement. Jon, equally relaxed, spent the morning with his groomsmen, toasting to the day ahead and soaking in the calm. The ceremony took place in a small clearing overlooking the sea. No traditional chapel, no heavy decorations — just the couple, their people, and the blue horizon. The vows they exchanged were deeply personal and heartfelt. It was one of those rare moments where you could see everyone — guests, vendors, even us — silently moved, eyes glistening, hearts open. After the ceremony, the celebration truly began. The reception was held outdoors, under fairy lights strung between pine trees, with long wooden tables filled with Mediterranean dishes and local wines. Music floated in the air, and laughter echoed through the forest. It felt more like a summer night with friends than a formal wedding — and that was exactly the point. What made this wedding so special was how true it was to them. Anah and Jon didn’t follow any trends or expectations. They followed their hearts. And Palmizana, in all its raw and natural beauty, allowed them the space to do just that. As wedding videographers, we always look for stories — not just pretty visuals. And this wedding gave us everything. Moments of quiet intimacy, explosive laughter, spontaneous dancing, kids running barefoot, a toast that turned into a group singalong, a sunset that made everyone stop and stare. There was no script, just life unfolding beautifully. We captured it all in a 15-minute film that, we hope, reflects the soul of that day. The energy, the love, the connection. We often say that a wedding video isn’t just for the couple, but for their future selves — for those quiet nights years from now when they want to remember how it all felt. The light. The music. The touch. The emotion. Not long after delivering the video, we received a message from Anah and Jon that truly moved us. They told us they had cried watching it — not because it was sad, but because it brought back every second of that day with such intensity and truth. They watched it with their families. They shared it with friends who couldn’t be there. And most of all, they said, “It felt like us.” That’s always the goal. To create something that’s not just beautiful, but meaningful. Something real. Palmizana is the kind of place that lends itself to magic. It strips away the noise and lets emotion breathe. For couples looking for an alternative wedding destination in Croatia, one that’s off the beaten path but filled with warmth, personality, and natural wonder — this island is truly a gem. It’s perfect for small weddings, elopements, or intimate gatherings where connection matters more than perfection. The logistics are simple, especially with the help of local planners, and the experience is unforgettable. Palmizana isn’t for everyone — and that’s what makes it so special. It’s for dreamers, for romantics, for those who want something different. We’ll never forget this celebration, and we hope this video speaks to those of you who are still searching for your place — your moment. If it makes your heart beat faster, that’s a good sign. This is Anah and Jon’s story. Their love, their people, their island. And this is their wedding video — a tribute to everything they felt, shared, and lived on that perfect day. Watch the full film and feel the energy of Palmizana. Maybe it’s the place where your story will begin too. Anah and Jon, Palmizana Hvar Wedding Video from OneDayStudio – Croatia Weddings on Vimeo.
