Beach Club Hvar Weddings
Beach Club Hvar Wedding – A Photographer’s View of Island Elegance Welcome to One Day Studio We are Zvonimir and Danijela Kušec — a creative duo behind One Day Studio, where photography and film meet emotion, elegance, and timeless storytelling. Since 2010, we’ve been capturing weddings all across Europe and beyond, always guided by the same mission: to tell real love stories in an honest and artistic way. Few places inspire us quite like Hvar. With its golden light, clear waters, and Mediterranean rhythm, it feels like the perfect island for couples who want their wedding to be both relaxed and refined. This time, we had the joy of photographing a celebration at Beach Club Hvar — a venue that blends modern style with seaside magic. Through our lens, we captured not just how it looked, but how it felt. Published on When a Beach Club Hvar Wedding Becomes Personal It all began with a morning email. Exactly one year before the wedding, Millie — the bride — reached out. She had discovered our photography and video work and felt an instant connection with the way we capture moments and treat the people in front of our cameras. Her words were full of warmth and excitement, and I could tell immediately: this one was going to be special. After a few lovely email exchanges, we scheduled a video call — this time with both Millie and Gus. From that very first moment on screen, I knew I wasn’t just talking to future clients. I was meeting two of the kindest, most positive people I’ve had the pleasure of working with. Funny enough, their wedding day happened to fall on my birthday. At first, I hesitated — I wasn’t sure I wanted to work that day. But something about Millie and Gus, their energy, their empathy, their enthusiasm… it felt impossible to say no. I knew I’d regret not being the one to tell their story. And I’m so glad I followed that instinct. Not only did they take the time during their speeches to publicly thank us — something that rarely happens — but after their wedding cake, they surprised me with a birthday cake of my own. A moment I’ll never forget, organized with care, just for me. I was moved beyond words. This Beach Club Hvar wedding was more than a beautiful day on a beautiful island. It was a celebration of connection — and a reminder of why I love doing what I do. A Quiet Gift of Confidence – Millie’s Boudoir Session Before the Wedding The day before the wedding, Millie did something beautiful — something quiet, intentional, and completely hers. She reached out weeks earlier with the idea of doing a boudoir session as a personal gift for Gus, and she wanted the photos ready in time for the wedding day. But it wasn’t just about the gift. It was also about taking a moment for herself. A space to breathe before the celebration, to connect with her body, her energy, and the anticipation of what was to come. There was nothing staged or overly posed. It was soft light, natural movement, and honest emotion. Millie brought calm confidence, a few delicate pieces, and that quiet smile that says more than words ever could. She wanted to surprise Gus — and she did — but what made the whole thing special was the fact that she felt amazing doing it. Strong, graceful, completely herself. We don’t talk about this often, but maybe we should:A boudoir session before the wedding isn’t about being perfect. It’s about being present. About claiming a part of the story just for you. It’s something more brides might want to consider — not because they should, but because they can. Getting Ready in a Hvar Villa – Soft Light and Quiet Moments Millie chose to spend the morning of her wedding in a private villa tucked above the old town of Hvar. The space was quiet, filled with soft natural light, gentle laughter, and the kind of energy that only happens when you’re surrounded by your closest people. Her friends and family moved easily around her steaming dresses, pouring coffee, helping with tiny details, while Millie simply enjoyed the calm. There were no nerves, just a sense of quiet anticipation and pure joy. The setting allowed us to move slowly and intentionally, capturing real moments as they unfolded. A hand on her shoulder, a glance in the mirror, the way her dress swayed as she took that first deep breath before it all began. Weddings often move quickly, but this morning felt different. It was slow. Present. Honest. And that made it unforgettable. Gus Getting Ready – Swim First, Suit Later While Millie spent the morning in soft light and quiet moments, Gus had a slightly different idea of how to prepare for the day. With the sun already warming the terrace and the pool sparkling just outside, he jumped in quite literally — with a swim alongside his closest friends. No pressure, no performance. Just music, water, and a few laughs. It was the kind of moment you don’t plan but always remember. There’s something beautiful about grooms who don’t overcomplicate it. Gus got out of the pool, toweled off, and within minutes — suit on, hair still slightly damp, smile ready, he was set. Simple. Honest. Him. Saying I Do at Beach Club Hvar – Ceremony with a View The ceremony took place just as the sun began to dip, bathing the entire Beach Club Hvar terrace in warm, golden light. Waves whispered in the background, the air smelled like salt and lavender, and everything — truly everything — felt still for a moment. Millie walked in with grace and purpose, the wind playing gently with her veil. Gus was waiting by the sea, calm but visibly moved. You could see it in his eyes the second he saw her — this wasn’t just a beautiful setup; it
Croatia wedding photographer
Croatia Wedding Photographer Capturing Your Story in the Most Breathtaking Locations Welcome to One Day Studio We’re Zvonimir and Daniella — partners in life and in storytelling, and the photographers behind One Day Studio. Since 2010, we’ve been capturing weddings across Croatia — from the cobblestone charm of Rovinj to the windswept cliffs of Vis, the timeless glamour of Opatija, and the sun-drenched islands like Hvar and Brač. As a Croatia wedding photographer duo, our approach blends editorial elegance with honest, emotional storytelling. Every couple we meet brings something unique — and every location tells its own version of love. In this post, we’ll take you through some of the most breathtaking wedding locations in Croatia, and share a glimpse into what it truly feels like to document a wedding here — not just as photographers and videographers, but as people who call this land home. Published on Croatia Wedding Photographer – Discover the Magic of Luxury Weddings in Croatia Vis – For couples who crave privacy and raw Mediterranean charm Vis is our secret weapon. There’s a reason celebrities and luxury couples escape here — it’s quiet, cinematic, and real. Venue highlight: Fort George is easily one of the most breathtaking venues in Croatia. Perched on a cliff, surrounded by pine trees and the open sea, it becomes something else at golden hour. We’ve photographed multi-day weddings here with private sunset ceremonies, fire dancers, and candlelit dinners that felt like a film set. Photographer’s tip: Trust the light — Fort George at sunset needs no filters. And don’t over-plan the styling. Let the venue breathe. Croatia has become one of Europe’s most sought-after wedding destinations – and it’s easy to see why. With its breathtaking Adriatic coastline, charming historic towns, and endless sunshine, it offers the perfect setting for unforgettable wedding photos and films.““ Why Choose Croatia for Your Destination Wedding? Croatia offers a rare blend of Mediterranean charm and authenticity. Here, weddings aren’t just events — they’re experiences. Imagine exchanging vows with the Adriatic in the background, or dancing barefoot under ancient olive trees. From private islands to historic forts, Croatia is filled with diverse venues that suit both elegant celebrations and relaxed gatherings. And the light? Simply unforgettable — warm, golden, and cinematic. Hvar – The island of glamour, lavender, and rooftop celebrations Hvar has a pulse of its own. It’s a favourite among international couples looking for a mix of historic charm and lively nightlife. Venue highlight: Palace Elisabeth and Beach Club Hvar (formerly Bonj ‘les bains) offer that perfect balance of elegance and sea views. We’ve captured ceremonies on ancient rooftops, champagne toasts by the promenade, and wild dance floors under palm trees. Photographer’s tip: Book your ceremony later in the day — the afternoon sun on Hvar can be intense, but golden hour here is magic. Split – Roman history and urban soul Split is for couples who love texture — from Diocletian’s Palace to the timeless stone alleyways. The mix of ancient and modern gives you countless frames, all with character. Venue highlight: For weddings, we often recommend Villa Dalmacija — a grand seafront villa just outside the city. Or even a reception at Hotel Park for a classic touch. Photographer’s tip: Explore early in the morning with your partner — pre-wedding sessions in the quiet city center feel intimate and cinematic. Dubrovnik – The pearl of the Adriatic Dubrovnik doesn’t need an introduction. It’s regal, dramatic, and full of stories. Venue highlight: Villa Sheherezade, Fort Lovrijenac, and Sponza Palace are some of the most luxurious in the region — and each offers something completely different. Favorite moment: A bride walking through the old city walls at dawn, alone with her thoughts, before the world woke up. It was pure poetry. Photographer’s tip: Get permits early — Dubrovnik is popular, and privacy is key. Hire a planner familiar with local logistics Istria – Truffle, wine, and Tuscan soul Inland Istria feels like Italy’s lost cousin — stone villas, olive groves, and hilltop churches. Venue highlight: San Canzian Village & Hotel or Meneghetti Wine Hotel bring luxury without crowds. We’ve done intimate weddings with 20 guests here that felt like a dream. Photographer’s tip: Plan a day-before shoot in the vineyards. Istria’s golden hour is softer and warmer than the coast. Zagreb – Classic elegance and modern city vibes architecture, tree-lined avenues, and charming urban parks. It’s perfect for couples who want a city wedding with style and intimacy. Venue highlight: The Esplanade Hotel is a timeless choice, known for its grand interiors and luxury service. For something modern and artistic, Lauba – House for People and Art – gives a cool, contemporary edge to weddings. Photographer’s tip: Use the city to your advantage. Early morning sessions in the Upper Town (Gornji Grad) have a romantic, storybook quality — especially in spring and autumn. Final thoughts from your Croatia wedding photographer As wedding photographers in Croatia, we’ve seen it all — the stormy Vis skies, lavender fields on Hvar, ancient stone courtyards in Split, and the elegance of Dubrovnik’s forts. But what we remember most aren’t just the views — it’s how you feel in them. That quiet laugh. That moment between you two, when the whole world fades. We don’t just take pictures — we translate emotion into imagery.

New York Wedding Photos
Welcome to One Day Studio We’re Zvonimir and Daniella – the founders of One Day Studio, a storytelling-driven wedding house born in 2010.With roots in editorial and wedding photography, and years of experience across the globe — from Alaska to Saudi Arabia — we’ve had the honor of capturing love across cultures, continents, and traditions. Our passion? Telling real stories through timeless imagery, and sharing the lessons we’ve learned to help others navigate their own journeys. Behind us stands a dedicated team that joins us on multi-day events and meaningful celebrations of all kinds — because every love story deserves to be told with care and intention. Thank you for stopping by. We’re glad you’re here. New York Through the Lens: Love, Weddings, and Endless Inspiration-New York Wedding Photos New York. A city that moves to the rhythm of films, songs, and stories we all somehow know—long before we ever visit. But for those who’ve had the chance to walk its avenues with a camera in hand, New York is so much more than a backdrop. It’s alive. And for me, as a wedding photographer, it’s one of the most inspiring stages in the world. If you’ve ever wondered what it feels like to capture love in the city that never sleeps—the answer is: unforgettable. Kina & Xavi Central Park – the city’s heart and the soul of photography Central Park is the first place that comes to mind when you think of romance in New York. Green lawns, storybook bridges, hidden lakeside nooks, and the iconic views from Bow Bridge—each space draws out tenderness from every couple. No wonder it’s one of the most sought-after outdoor wedding photography spots in the city. What’s magical is how many different emotions one park can hold—each season offering its own personality. Autumn brings fiery leaves, spring bursts into bloom, winter dusts everything in quiet snow, and summer… summer makes the whole city glow. Central Park isn’t just a location—it’s a feeling. Brooklyn Bridge, DUMBO & the Manhattan skyline A short walk from Manhattan and you find yourself in Brooklyn—another legendary spot. The Brooklyn Bridge at sunset might feel like a cliché, but there’s a reason it’s so loved. The light, the city, the movement… it all comes together in a frame that speaks without words. Just a few steps away is DUMBO, where between the red-brick buildings, the Manhattan Bridge reveals itself in one of the most photographed perspectives in the city. As a New York wedding photographer, I don’t just capture the couple here—I capture the spirit of New York wrapping around them. Grand Central, Top of the Rock, Times Square… New York is incredibly diverse. One moment you’re shooting a couple in the quiet of a bookstore in SoHo, the next you’re in the buzzing lights of Times Square. Grand Central Terminal offers elegance and timeless movement. Top of the Rock gives panoramic views that steal your breath. Each location in this city has a personality of its own—like a supporting character in every couple’s story. Did you know over 60,000 weddings happen in NYC every year? Yes—more than 60,000 couples say “I do” in New York City each year. That’s one wedding every nine minutes on average. And what’s even more fascinating—couples come from all over the world. Some dream of saying their vows at City Hall, others choose rooftop ceremonies or a quiet moment in the Botanical Gardens. New York doesn’t choose—it welcomes. And it gives each love story a frame that’s as unique as the people in it. As a New York wedding photographer, that means one thing: every weekend, a new story. A new energy. A new opportunity to photograph love woven into the pulse of this incredible city. Why couples choose New York Besides being one of the most iconic cities in the world, New York has that something you can’t explain in words—but you can capture in photos. Couples come here looking for something different. They want a cinematic feel. They want the texture of the streets, the elegance of the skyline, and the mix of old-world romance and modern edge. For some, it’s an escape. For others, a lifelong dream. And for me? It’s trust. Because when someone asks me to be their New York wedding photographer, I know they’re not just asking for images—they’re asking for an experience. The moments between the frames What I love most about photographing weddings in New York isn’t just the locations—it’s what happens in between. When a bride lifts her dress to avoid a puddle in the Lower East Side, and her partner holds her veil. When a couple pauses in front of a street saxophonist playing their song. When they lean into each other silently, letting the hum of the city surround them. These are the moments you can’t plan. But New York gives them freely. What to expect from a wedding shoot in NYC Lots of walking. Lots of spontaneity. And lots of joy. Photographing in this city isn’t about posed studio work—it’s an adventure. We plan basic stops, but the best frames come from what we didn’t expect. That’s why I always tell couples: wear comfortable shoes, bring your smile, and just be yourselves. We’ll let New York do the rest. If you’re the kind of couple that wants a love story that moves, that breathes, that dances with the energy of a city—this is your place. And I’m your photographer. In closing – New York as the canvas for your love story New York isn’t for everyone. It’s fast, loud, unpredictable. But for those who choose it, it offers what no other place can: the chance for ordinary moments to become cinematic. For streets to become stages. For every glance, smile, and touch to become part of something greater. If you’re looking for a New York wedding photographer who can tell your story with honesty, emotion, and artistry—it would be an honor. Because this city deserves to be felt.And you deserve to

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

Engagement shooting on Vis Island
Engagement shooting on Island of Vis Engagement shooting on Vis island is more than just a photo session — it’s a chance to stop time and celebrate your love in one of the most beautiful places in Croatia. Engagement is one of those rare moments in life that truly deserves to be remembered. For many couples, it’s just as meaningful and emotional as the wedding day itself. That’s why engagement shooting on island of Vis is such a powerful experience — because it gives you the chance to pause, connect, and celebrate your love story before the big day. We love capturing engagements. They’re natural, unposed, and full of honest emotions. It’s not just about the ring or the perfect location — it’s about the little looks, the laughter, and that quiet excitement you feel when you know you’ve found your person. And when this kind of moment happens on a place like Vis… it becomes unforgettable. Why Choose Vis for Your Engagement Shoot There are so many amazing locations in Croatia, but island of Vis holds something truly special. It’s the farthest inhabited island on the Croatian coast, which makes it feel both intimate and adventurous. Surrounded by the deep blue Adriatic, Vis is peaceful, raw, and beautifully authentic. Vis is settled in the large Bay of Saint George and has a long and rich history. It dates back to the 4th century and was once the economic and naval center of the area. The island was ruled by the Greeks and later by the Republic of Venice — and every culture that passed through left something behind. You can feel that mix of heritage in every stone street and hidden bay. For engagement photography, this means endless possibilities. Whether you prefer dramatic cliffs, romantic hidden beaches, olive groves, or rustic old towns — Vis has it all. The textures, the light, the sea, the silence — it’s every photographer’s dream and every couple’s perfect backdrop. The Iconic Fort George – History with a View One of the most unique spots for engagement shooting on island of Vis is definitely Fort George. Located just above the town of Vis, this historic British fortress was built in 1813 and served as a strategic military post. Today, it has been transformed into a cultural hub and one of the top wedding and event venues in Croatia. Fort George is the kind of place that feels both ancient and alive. With its massive stone walls wrapped in bougainvillea, panoramic sea views, and golden sunsets, it offers a cinematic atmosphere that’s hard to find anywhere else. Whether you’re planning a proposal, a pre-wedding shoot, or simply a day to celebrate your love, Fort George offers a setting that is elegant, wild, and breathtaking. And the best part? You can stay for dinner, enjoy local food and wine, and watch the sun disappear into the horizon — all in one place. Biševo and the Blue Grotto – Nature’s Magic No mention of Vis would be complete without talking about the Blue Grotto, a stunning natural cave located on the nearby island of Biševo, just a short boat ride from Komiža. This magical spot is famous for the surreal glowing blue light that appears inside the cave at a specific time of day — usually between 11 am and noon. It’s one of the most photographed natural wonders in Croatia, and for good reason. The cave offers a mystical and dreamlike atmosphere that adds a touch of fairytale to any engagement session. Many couples choose to include a short boat trip here as part of their day — it’s a perfect mix of adventure and beauty. Creating Memories That Feel Like You We understand that engagement photography isn’t just about the images — it’s about how you feel during the shoot. That’s why our goal is to make you feel comfortable, present, and completely yourselves. We’ll gently guide you if needed, but mostly we’ll just let you be in the moment. The result? Photos and videos that actually feel like you. Our approach is relaxed and storytelling-based. We love natural light, candid moments, and letting things unfold spontaneously. On Vis, we don’t rush — we move with the rhythm of the island and with your energy. When to Plan Your Engagement Shooting on Vis The best time to plan an engagement shooting on island of Vis is from late spring to early autumn. May, June, and September are especially beautiful — fewer crowds, soft golden light, and perfect weather. Sunsets are particularly magical, and we usually plan the shoot to finish right around that time. If you’re already planning your wedding in Croatia, or even just visiting Vis on holiday, don’t hesitate to reach out. Engagement sessions don’t have to be complicated — just you two, the island, and a camera that sees your story. Final Thoughts – Real Emotions, Real Locations There are so many reasons to fall in love with Vis — and once you’re there, you’ll understand why so many couples choose it for both their engagement and wedding. It’s peaceful, romantic, and full of history, beauty, and soul. Whether you’re dreaming of a barefoot walk on the beach, a kiss under stone arches, or simply laughing together in a wild olive grove, engagement shooting on island of Vis is the perfect way to celebrate the beginning of your forever. If this sounds like your kind of love story — reach out. We’d be honored to capture it for you. HERE you can see a beautiful wedding on Island Vis
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.
