Wedding in Dubrovnik Nataliya & Lowell
Wedding in Dubrovnik | Nataliya and Lowell are two spouses who left their mark on the hot stone of the monumental city of Dubrovnik. As the sun was slowly getting down into the sea, in the middle of the city walls, two souls connected into one. Colleagues, mentors, mutual motivators full of support, before all – friends, and today, finally, husband and wife – they decided to give each other their hands in marriage forever in the Dubrovnik wedding venue. After the initial wonderment of the guests concerning the idea of going all the way to Croatia for a celebration, family of the couple realized the value of unique destination weddings in Dubrovnik. The blend of culture, beauty of environment and Mediterranean climate in the city under the protection of UNESCO truly makes an unprecedented scenery. Dubrovnik weddings have been gathering enamored ones from all over the world for many years, as many have realized that the most important day of their life deserves to be spent in so praised tourist city. After enjoying the world-renowned Sheraton hotel, the newlyweds to be dressed up and headed to the old town. There is no better moment and place to recall common moments of love than during long romantic walk in Dubrovnik‘s main street Stradun. But there is a moment we all live for. The moment we step toward the eternal community with the person we recognize as the one we want to grow old with. For Nataliya it was especially emotional because she remembered her late father Alex. As her mother held her hand tightly and led her to the altar, Alex was with them in their hearts, proud that his daughter is stepping towards a trusting man like Lowell. Nataliya and Lowell said the fateful “yes” in the historic core of a centuries-old town, after which they were crowned with a laurel wreath, as the old Dubrovnik tradition imposes. Dubrovnik wedding planner knows he has succeeded in his efforts around the ceremony when he sees pleased family members and friends smiling and giving standing ovations to the newlyweds. After the ceremonial formal part, the wedding moved to one of the luxurious Dubrovnik terraces that are characterized by the breathtaking sea view. Nataliya and Lowell celebrated the foundation of their family on the walls of Dubrovnik, under the palm trees and the candle lights, long into the night. The happy couple held a welcoming speech inviting their guests to respect the old Ukrainian tradition. They encouraged their friends to give toasts and to raise their glasses together at any time in honor of a joined future of a husband and wife. The evening continued in a joyful relaxing atmosphere charged with emotions in the rhythm of the music and dance of the guests in front of the untiring eye of Dubrovnik wedding photographer. Finally, as Lowell’s father emphasized, the essence of weddings are family and friends. And when people who we love gather around us in a place that radiates the serenity and beauty of history such as Dubrovnik, the magic of two joining into one can begin. In moments like these, you truly feel how the love and support of family and friends create a foundation that lasts a lifetime. Dubrovnik, with its timeless beauty and history, becomes more than a backdrop — it becomes a part of their story and the beginning of their shared journey. Every stone in the ancient walls seems to whisper tales of enduring love, reminding us that some places carry a magic that makes every vow even more meaningful. As Nataliya and Lowell step forward hand in hand, surrounded by those who cherish them most, their wedding day in this unforgettable city becomes a memory they will carry with them forever, inspiring all who witness it.

Thank you for stopping by. We’re glad you’re here. Your Guide to Finding the Perfect Dubrovnik Wedding Planner FIRST THINGS FIRST Couples often do not know where to start. 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.

Wedding in Opatija Maša & Marin
Maša & Marin’s Dream Wedding in Opatija From a Nightclub in Rijeka to a Dream Wedding in Opatija It has all started around 4 years ago by innocent meeting at one club in Rijeka. Already after a year we realised: that’s it and we moved in together. We shared everything, we were decorating our home step by step and dreaming about everything nice that was expecting us. Next year, accidentaly, somewhere before Chirstmas we bumped into a little abandoned puppy. We agreed immediately: we are taking this cute puppy home, our Luna (later you will see how charming she is)! I am not sure if we’ve found her or she has found us but one thing is sure; it was the best decision we have ever done, it has changed our life in every sense and it enriches it every day. Somehow, everything went well and then, on our 4th anniversary we got engaged. As you assume, our Luna had the main role at this event too..she carried a ring on her collar and that was the way Marin and Luna made me infinitely happy! Parents from both sides were overwhelmed as well as our godparents. We knew long time ago that this honor will go to our best friends, Petra and Goran. From then, planning, reservations and preparations started…We decided we want our „the day“ celebrate in Opatija, beautiful town near Rijeka. Very soon, the band was solved, decorations, photos and video (here we had no doubt whom we wanted), catering, invitations, lights, bow for Luna and other details were also arranged very soon.The choice of wedding gown and groom’s suit followed. No matter it sounds as a delicate task, when you put on yourself the right thing, you feel light tingling and believe me, you just know it is it! Regarding rings, no dilemma either, we have chosen white gold wedding rings engraved with our fingertips inside – so except in the heart we carry each other on a hand too. It has all passed in a moment and after all those preparations, wishes and excitment, finally, our unforgettable, June 14, 2014., has arrived. We were afraid of the rain because it was raining whole week but the day was sunny and beautiful as it was telling us: the sun is shinning for you, just relax and enjoy! We avoided some traditions (we were making our own ) so that morning I have kissed my groom for good luck and left our appartment for a make up and hair styling. First part of the celebration started at our place then on a big terrace at Marin’s parents house. After that, all guests started to gather at my parents’ home accompanied by sounds of klapa singers…We left the guests to enjoy on their own for some time while Marin and me went for a shooting with our godparents and One day studio team. We were walking in Opatija, soaking up its magic and smell of the sea, having fun with our godparents, laughing with random passengers while One day studio team has already captured all those moments, totally relaxed and insensible. The most solemn moment followed – the St. Jacob Church, warm speech of the priest, sounds of „You raise me up“ song performed by Dino Antonic and my dad and me walking towards the altar. With a tear in his eye, but proud, he handed me over to Marin and our emotional ceremony has begun. We were pronouncing our vows, Marin cried and all the guests supported him with huge applause. I think we all cried a bit that day, touched, happy, satisfied. After the church, all 140 guests proceeded to amazing green park Angiolina where we toasted with chapagne and then walked to hotel. We survived first dance (timeless „When a men loves a women“ performed by Davor Radolfi) and we really enjoyed it. We watched all those dear faces of people who surrounded and supported us and we knew there is a night to rembember upon us. Line of dance, fine meals and out of nowhere the midnight has arrived! It was godparents’ turn… their speeches we will remember forever. The whole restaurant was listening to them breathless…they were so wonderful, special, honest,…The wedding cake followed, then fireworks outside with fire heart…bouquet throwing, garter throwing…you know how it goes…and after that, fun, fun and just fun!!! All together, I know it sounds like a cliches, but it really was a dream wedding! Now, some time after the wedding has passed, with a smile and proud we turn back on each detail and memory of our unforgettable day. Recently we found out that our little familly will be increased by one more member and we can’t wait to show photos and videos of mummy’s and daddy’s special day to a fruit of this huge love. Once again, from the bottom of our hearts, thanks to all who participated and helped us in making come true this special day of ours! Without you, it wouldn’t be the same!Maša&Marin Video from Maša&Marin see HEREPhotos by Danijela
Short history of the wedding photography
History of the wedding photography l 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.
