As this is my home – Vipava valley – I am pleased every time I get a chance to shoot a wedding here. And if newlyweds also have a brilliant idea for their wedding I am all in. And this was the case with this forest wedding in Vipava valley. These two found a church in the middle of a forest just above the valley. We all had to drive this narrow and steep road, park at the end and walk for another 20 minutes uphill through the woods.

And there was a small church/chapel amongst the trees. After the ceremony the sun was almost setting so we need to hurry to get the bridal portraits before the dark. So we headed a bit higher to a clearing with some nice views over the valley. It was already dark in the woods. As I was walking backwards to get their shots on a narrow path I almost stepped on a snake. It was just minding her own business on the same path, though. Thank god I didn’t see it 🙂

We came to the clearing just in time. The sun was setting down and the colours on the mountains in the background were amazing. We have managed to get a lot of really great shots in a short time.

This is why I love Vipava valley.

It’s been a long time. Too long, since my last post here. The wedding season has already started but I still wanted to share with you this wedding from last year. Sara and Rok didn’t have any problems choosing the venue. They probably knew for a long time they are getting married in the middle of nowhere. Under the biggest tree out there that provided enough shade for everyone on that hot summer afternoon.

There is not much to say about this wedding in nature. These two were one of the most easygoing couples I had a privilege to shoot. So was their wedding. They day was so hot but the gentle breeze was making it a bit easier to get along. The fact that there was no timetable and no pressure made the day even more special. Guests were talking, going around, having drinks with a great music in the background.

I would love to see more weddings like this in the future.

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.
