Best Of Croatia Wedding Photography 2019
2019 season was a hell of a ride. A properly exciting season full of love, emotions, moments, laughter, tears and hugs. Personalised love stories to my new clients and friends, naturally, goes without saying 🙂
Making a selection below 300 images was a challenge. Heck, even below 500 was a success in my mind! To lower it to 120-130 images I needed help. Tons and tons of unbiased help. And oh boy, did I get it? My beautiful (and sometimes too honest) wife Tamara and couple of amazing photographer friends (chief among them being Aleks Kus – Mr.Storyteller himself). I mean, who else can you rely on if not them, right?
Please bear with me to extend my warmest thank yous to them all – You’re the real MVPs 🙂
Best of Croatia Wedding Photography 2019
This rollercoaster of a year makes me really proud and happy. Stories told through my images have met and exceeded my expectations by a mile. This was a true year of a reportage and documentary wedding photography in Croatia for me and I can only hope to pile on this and build my brand for years to come.
To be perfectly honest, being a wedding photographer in Croatia gives you a nice push and a head start. Nowhere in the world will you find such an ambient, landscapes, energy and people! I am really grateful to have the opportunity to live here and make stories with this backdrop.
Year in review
At the very end of my monologue, I’d like to thank the people who make this all possible by putting their trust in me to document their day in my way. Seeing that people like your creative expression enough to put them in your hands and say those sweet couple of words:
～ Do what ever you want to, we trust you ～
Thank you <3
It’s now time to sit back, relax, pop a beer and popcorn and enjoy this short montage of select images to reflect 2019. If you like what you see, feel free to reach out – I’m dying to hear your story. 🙂

Wonder Woman & Batman Best Superhero Super Love Story
It always makes for an amazing story when newlyweds click with me, and this is one of that stories! We bonded over so many things, not only photography that I was amazed.
I felt as if we were separated right after birth 🙂 Having shot destination weddings over years, I almost forgot how amazing and beautiful it is to shoot locally. But being just a Croatia wedding photographer doesn’t satisfy me. I need to be more, be precise – be Krasograd wedding photographer 🙂
This was my first opportunity to shoot in EkoPark Kraš. Oh how I loved it! I am so happy to finally call myself a Krasograd wedding photographer. Then again, it wasn’t a hard job for me to photograph these two. I mean – look at them! They are just crazy about each other. All you need to see it the way Mislav looks at Tamara. You’ll get the point what I’m talking about. I saw that the first time we sat for a coffee. They are constantly holding hands, sharing laughs, looks and tiny kisses. Gotta love it <3
Fuji 400h film engagement session in Zagreb
Engagement session was a challenge for me though. The lighting conditions were far from perfect but I need to challenge myself as often as possible.We don’t grow when things are easy, we grow when we face challenges.
Luckily, having such an amazing models makes everything much easier. I shot this session was partly on my digital cameras, partly on an old medium format Mamiya 645 camera with Fuji 400h film. I have to say – I loved every second of it. In fact, I loved it so much I decided to carry that piece of beauty to every future session this season.
It makes for special look, special colours and grain, and I want and need to do that more often in my future weddings and sessions. Come to think of it – if you’d like to have different images – click HERE and let’s make some film photography together – I promise you won’t regret it. If you don’t believe me – just ask Tamara and Mislav <3
Oh yeah, I almost forgot – try and guess what they are fans of after you’re done with these images – I guess it won’t be too hard, but just to be sure, I’ll give you a preview – DCU movies 🙂

Malou&Petar - Dubai Wedding │ Best Of Destination Weddings
Malou&Petar ～ Couple living in Dubai, marrying in Sisak
What a wedding story <3
Obviously I’m aware this wedding didn’t take place in Dubai. In all fairness – Malou and Petar live and work there, and it sure has amazing ring to it, don’t you think? Dubai wedding photographer – sounds great! 🙂
Before plunging deep into my mind and 2 kilometres long blog post let’s take a second and discuss one thing. That thing is destination wedding. Common taught on destination wedding – book amazing couple anywhere in the world.
Travel there, meet amazing people, tell their story. Then with little help from The Big Guy above – book some more weddings there. Love that idea – would love it to happen couple a times a year. Not every weekend though! To me destination wedding means couple somewhere in the world organising their wedding in Croatia.
Let’s be honest – Croatia has SO MUCH to offer <3. Then getting in touch with me and booking my services.
Why you ask? I used to work for many years in a big company which meant going on business trips many times a year – often for a month or so.
I never minded that until I got my first kid Lea. And now having 2 of those little bundles of joy, I don’t see myself traveling 200+ days a year outside Croatia. Sure – I’d love to sleep til 12 the day after the wedding, but can’t get mad at kids for jumping on my head at 8 o’clock in the morning
Way of topic, I know – sorry about that. Back to the point! Malou and Petar are THAT couple. Destination bride and groom coming to Croatia to get married.
Malou is from Philippines, Petar from Croatia – CroAsian Connection established. <3
They met and fell in love in Dubai where they both live and work. Gotta say – I’m grateful they selected as their wedding photographer. Having opportunity to learn of their traditions, customs and more about their culture.
Newfound knowledge makes me a much richer man, and I do mean that.
Early morning session
If you follow my work, you’ve noticed I try to do things differently whenever possible, right? Well these guys were no exception! When Malou said she’d like to have an engagement session in the Upper Town in Zagreb, I said, sure – no problem! As long as you don’t mind waking up at 5 o’clock in the morning and meeting me there at 5:30!
I wanted to avoid tons of people, tourists and if lucky – find some new and interesting lighting. Boy, was I right! To all my future friends and clients – you have Lu and Petar to thank for waking up at 4 in the morning for next sessions 🙂
Old Sisak Fortress Wedding
Controlled by the Bishop of Zagreb, fortress is Sisak town museum in this modern day. Location – between mouth of river Sava on one side and on very bank of river Kupa on the other. Sorry to say we didn’t enter within the walls to the inner court.
We decided against using to much time for a session (15ish minutes or so). Instead, Petar and Lu decided to spend as much time as possible with their family and friends and it was a jackpot.
Party took place on the lawn in front of the fortress under huge tent. The name of the restaurant is Restoran Stari Grad, and I swear you won’t regret contacting them if you are looking for a place to get married near Sisak.
It’s rustic, old school, different and the food was extraordinary. Anyways, Lu and Peta took to the next level organisation-wise. They took care of everything! Appetisers on the lawn in front of the tent, flowers and rustic details everywhere.
Both band and DJ Dario were rocking so there was no down time. In charge for the mood was Luminos – awesome lighting company that will blow your socks off. You couldn’t ask for more even if you wanted to.
Long story short (not that this was short by any means) – hope you enjoy these images. Lu and Pero – thank you for putting your trust in me to document your most important day, I will never forget that.
If you are looking for a wedding photographer (no matter the location) who’s going to make your day a bit more enjoyable get in touch. Let me make memories for you too.

Karla&Luka │ Corberon Resort Wedding
Karla & Luka
Corberon wedding photographer
It is in human nature to have preferences in life. Favourite food, favourite drink, favourite song, sports team, restaurant, car brand et cetera. You don’t choose to have a favourite, this things simply happen organically because of some detail.
Corberon Wedding Resort is my favourite wedding photography venue because of a ton of things. It’s tiny bit outside of my city of Zagreb, so I can quite easily get home after the wedding.
Parking lot is HUGE so there is no problem with leaving a car and carrying a ton of gear to restaurant. The light onsite is highly professional and adds dimension to images – makes for much more flashy story. Food is great and staff is so helpful and do everything for you to feel comfortable and to make your day memorable. Come to think of it – I might just add this to my about section 🙂
Traveling enthusiasts
Karla and Luka are madly happy, fun and in love (with each other and travelling). In fact – in their flat they have a huge scratch of world map to tick off the places they’ve visited. I didn’t bother to see all the places they visited, but Australia/New Zealand did catch my eye.
I’d LOVE to have an opportunity to go there either privately of professionally – so if your are getting married there – drop me a note through my contact form – I’d love to catch up with you and be a part of your big day.
Also – they’ve been to London which is probably no.1 wish at this point (Harry Potter museum anyone?) – so they already saw 50% of countries that I dream of (luckily working as a wedding photographer helps a lot in terms of booking abroad and travelling so – I guess I’ve nailed my profession <3 ) and I still love them which says a lot.
They are so loveable – guess it’s because of them smiling all the time. They simply emit positive energy <3
Vendors
I digressed, which shouldn’t come as a surprise to pretty much anyone who knows me 😀 So, in the spirit of getting back on-topic, I guess I should do shout-out to all the vendors from the wedding.

Anita & Franjo～Best Party in Sinj History～Wedding photography Sinj
September wedding in Sinj – home of the Alkar
Funny thing is that I get a lot of inquiries for wedding photography in Sinj, but this was the first one I’ve done. I was hoping to get a chance to be there while Sinjska Alka was taking place which didn’t happen at this particular time, but I am still hoping for it in years to come 🙂
Or at least a session if not full wedding so if your are interested in such an event – do feel free to contact me 🙂
Anyway, now that we got this out of the way, let’s get cracking 🙂 Sinj is an old city near Split in the south of Croatia, it’s architecture and cobbled stone streets make for amazing backdrop for images.
The weather was just perfect, though sun did drop tiny bit too fast for my liking, making it a bit colder in the evening, and a bit darker during the ceremony. Luckily the spirits were very much lifted thanks to amazing people that hosted this event – Anita and Frano.
Those two are just amazing! Loveable, young, easy going, funny, relaxed and happy. Just the way I like my clients to be! Though living in Germany, it wasn’t too hard for them to decide to do the wedding back home, as they knew people would much better party over here.
The very second I met them, I knew I was in for a party, and one thing I really love while shooting weddings is a good quality party. But first things first – the engagement session.
Be what you want to be – even if they look at you differently in your hometown of Sinj
That’s always the general idea, and when I saw Frano coming to a session dressed in Slipknot t-shirt I knew instantly we were about to have ton of fun. I was so right – the fun we had was so immense that when I got home I had inflammation of the abdominal muscles from laughter.
We got the good use of nice weather and the fact that they had a couple of days in Zagreb on transition from Sinj back to Munich.
I know for a fact that Frano loves having his pictures taken (a point he never fails to make unlike most of the other grooms) so I was really looking forward to this session and wedding – and boy did he deliver 🙂
We had amazing fun and did made some great images, especially second part of the session even though they were tired from a wedding they were at the day before.
The special day
As the session was such a great fun, Anita and Frano were totally relaxed and comfortable with me being around them. Their crazy friends were as fun as them, and the very second we met – we clicked.
When I saw that, I knew the party was going to be amazing! Once again – I was right. Venue Hotel Alkar has open concept hall for weddings and did nice job with the details and light for the dance floor. The band Grupa Best complimented the light and details similarly with fantastic atmosphere which the wedding party recognised and danced their feet off entire night.
To make long story tiny bit shorter – I can’t wait to shoot another wedding in Sinj which happens to be very next year with another rockabilly crew 🙂

IVA & IVAN | ZAGREB WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER
June 2017
When you have great weather for 10 days before the wedding, amazing sun and temperature on your engagement session, but then out of the blue - rain right after the ceremony in church when we were supposed to have wedding session in the city centre, you can expect for bride to crack.
But not Iva! She was a true champ. All she said was - no problem Saša, we're going to do our session when we get some nice weather and enough time for all of us to be there. Wish I could take the credit for this - but this one is NOT on your Zagreb Wedding Photographer =)
It took us some serious time, but finally, much like the Avengers - we assembled. We probably could've done it a bit sooner, but this way - it all simply clicked. We got all the images we wanted - both them and me and in an amazing amount of time.
I felt like I had to be fast and efficient, at that point in time I couldn't explain why, but when we met some time later to deliver their wedding book I finally understood.
They are no longer a family of two <3
Thank you guys for the beautiful time we had together and thank you for putting your faith in me. Can't wait to see you again :)

Wenzhao & Danijel - Best of Chinese wedding photographer in Zagreb │ Golf Vjenčanja Zagreb
Chinese wedding photographers view of croatian-oriental love story
Beautiful thing about wedding photography is getting to know many people, some of which are foreign and have their own traditions which may well be very different from what you tend to see in your country. This was it for me! China is something totally unknown to me. Huge and unexplored. Vast and unpredictable. Showing affection to chinese is much different than croatians - simple act of holding hands has much deeper meaning, not to mention a kiss.
But these two...You can see the love and happiness in their eyes, smiles, looks and even tears.
And their story? Isn't that the point of this blog?
She loves illustrating, drawing and learning foreign languages. He loves cooking, copywriting and reading travel blogs. Life has taken him on huge trips around the world - literally.
First he lived and worked in Croatia, following that he went to do just the same in Canada but ended up after a couple of years in China where he taught english to locals - Wenzhao being one of them. One thing lead to another and they started to hang out more and more.
If you ask Danijel - I bet he never thought he'd meet love of his life in Guangzhou, China, but I have to admit - after meeting them and spending some time with them - I'm sure glad it happened the way it did <3
This is a rather easy blogpost for me as a wedding photographer, because I just have to let the images do the talk, because quite obviously - love is enough.
BTW - is it obvious I automatically started typing Croatian instead of Chinese Wedding Photographer? =) Force of nature, I guess. Luckily - images show the diversity much rather than my clumsy text writing =)
