The first reason was of course the couple themselves. These two were almost too nice to be true. From my point of view, they trusted me completely and let me do my work the way I feel it is going to work.

They had this great vision when choosing other vendors. They both looked classy and elegant yet not too tight but relaxed. Her dress was from the magic hands of Croatian designers Envy Room and it couldn’t be a better match with the bride. The elegant make up and hair was done by the local make up and hair artist Tea Bratina.

The second reason was for sure the venue. Zemono mansion is one of the top wedding venues in Slovenia. It is located in the heart of Vipava valley on a small hill among the vineyards. What I like about Zemono is that no matter how big your wedding is, it always looks perfect. The mansion has a great restaurant – Gostilna pri Lojzetu – under the supervision of one of the world’s best chefs Tomaž Kavčič. So you know you can’t miss with the food choice here.

And the third reason was the timing. Yes, the timing or in other words being late. We have planned a portrait session on Nanos plateau at sunset. Nanos offers such beautiful sunsets over the valley. But in the end there were so many emotional speaches at the table that couldn’t be interrupted. So when we sat in the car, the sun was already setting down in the valley. And we had 30 minutes driving to the spot. They have asked me for opinion and I said: “Let’s do it anyway.”

So we have arrived to the location when the sun was gone and it was getting dark already. But that’s when the magic started.

This is not the first time I have been a Nanos wedding photographer on plateau, high above Vipava valley. Well in fact I would love to shoot there again as every time I come here we find a new location to shoot. Nanos is much more than outstanding views over the Vipava valley. It offers a variety of locations where you can shoot, no matter where on plateau you are.

I might be a bit biased as I come from this valley. But also the big Lonely planet included Vipava valley among the top 10 destinations to visit in 2018, so there must be something charming. That being said I thing it is only natural that whey you were born and raised here, you don’t have to look for your wedding elsewhere. Janja and Nejc did nothing different.

The day started in a small church in the middle of the fields. It was hot, really hot that day. After the ceremony we were all headed to Nanos, so that was a relief as the air got a bit colder when we were ascending. The civil ceremony and reception were held at the tourist farm Abram. Tadej from Cvetje did an amazing job decorating the place. Again.

After the ceremony we took a little walk to make some portraits, not far from the venue. And boy we got lucky. A pair of the cutest little ponies decided to crash our shooting I did not hesitate for a second to include them in.

We planned to do a photoshoot during just before the sunset but the clouds came and we gave up after waiting for too long. But then, just as we were driving back home the sun came out, so we stop the car and jump out for a few minutes.

Thank you to every single couple that had trusted me and have let me be a part of your wedding day. Also I would like to thank you for letting me visit new places and meet new people. And the most important, thank you for letting me make your best day timeless. But remember! The best is yet to come!

I am looking forward to meet new friends, visit new places and make new adventures.
