Velika Gorica

We had a lovely wedding Saturday. The ceremony took place in Velika Gorica were the bride lives and the party was held in a fine restaurant in a nearby forest. I know that we say this with every bride, but Martina had a wonderful dress, it really fitted her.

As usual we took far too many pictures and it will take me a while to get them processed, but below is already one image of the rings.

Win a boudoir session...

Hm, dakle što ima toliko privlačnog u boudoir sessionu?
Za početak ću navesti riječi koje se spontano nižu u mojim mislima; ljubav, igra, opuštenost, zavođenje, povjerenje, išćekivanje, uživanje, spontanost, zabava, glamurozne romantične fotografije, profinjenost,trenuci uhvaćeni za vječnost...jednom riječju umjetnost.

Umjetnost stvaranja jedinstvenih fotografija koje ostavljaju bez riječi. Budimo iskreni, koja žena nije poželjela takve fotografije u svom albumu, kao jedan jedinstven i osoban način stvaranja poklona za svog budućeg supruga. Zabilježiti ljubav, mladost i senzualnost žene na jedan poseban način, ukomponirajući pritom igru sjetlosti i sjene, zrcala, detalje, odsjaje... stvarajući jednu novu, dosad neviđenu priču.

Nezaboravan dan koji započinje na tipični ženski način, ritualima uljepšavanja; frizura, make up, specifični outfit i kao rezultat tog dana ostaju trenuci zauvijek zabilježeni okom profesionalnog fotografa.

Jer svaka žena je jedinstvena i lijepa,zanosna i poželjna,samo treba imati hrabrosti pozirati u jednom takvom ambijentu i s povjerenjem se prepustiti i uživati u stvaranju prekrasnih fotografija koje može ponosno pokloniti zaručniku i s nestrpljenjem očekivati njegovu reakciju. I naravno, najljepše od svega je što te slike prikazuju ženu kakva zapravo jest, prirodna i zanosna, bez neke umjetne obrade u photoshopu kako bi postala neprepoznatljiva Barbie, jer "you are sexy the way you are!" i to će se vidjeti na damskim fotografijama koje tako nastaju.

Ukratko,jedna tipična, ali prekasna ženska stvar.:)

P.S. Još sam se sjetila jednog razloga zašto su mi te fotografije super... Nakon 7 godina veze bit će veoma zanimljivo da me zaručnik vidi u dosad neviđenom izdanju, zar ne?:)

New stuff!

Book covers With the start of the new wedding season, we received great information of our book supplier: they have now glass and aluminium covers available for the wedding books, just like with our regular albums.

Suitcases Furthermore you can protect your wedding book in a wonderful handmade suitcase. We just received the first show model and I am very impressed. A great finish to your wedding book.

Pricelist Within some weeks our new pricelist, 'summer 2008' will come out and all changes and new stuff will be in there. Since we expect prices to rise up about 5% I can only advise you to book us quickly if you didn't do this yet :).

Zasto je Budoir session odlicna stvar?
Zato sto svaka zena u sebi ima "ono nesto", svaka je lijepa, senzualna i seksi. A Olaf i drustvo izvlace iz zene upravo "to nesto"! I mi mozemo biti kao lutke sa naslovne strane!

Jos jedna posebnost je ta sto Bodoir session rezerviran samo za zene. Znaci, fotografi su iskljucivo zene! Jer nitko nas ne razumije tako dobro, nitko ne moze iz nas izvuci ono najbolje osim zene!

I na kraju, fotografija je trajna uspomena i prekrasan poklon buducem suprugu, roditeljima, kumovima...

Wedding books

For this year we decided to include a wedding book in our prices. We made wonderful designs which tell your wedding as a real story. That's why you take a book: to tell your story.

However, since the books are ordered abroad, the delivery time is a bit longer. For that reason we have the book also available online so you can share it and enjoy it with your friends and family although the real thing is much better of course.

Of course we are the only ones in Croatia who offer you the books to be seen online as well. Even better, the 'proofing' is even online, a great service for our foreign couples.

Here is the link to our special proofing site:

WeddingBooks by [ Weddings Only! ] photographers

New: boudoir sessions!

As usual we like to bring new things to Croatia. We already brought you E-sessions and Trash the dress - sessions but now it is time for something completely different: boudoir sessions by ladies only!

Boudoir sessions
Boudoir sessions are photo sessions in which we accentuate the beauty of the woman. We strongly believe that any woman can be sensual and we will capture this. Boudoir sessions are sexy yet elegant, fun yet relaxing, classy yet beautiful.

The images from a boudoir session are a great present for your (new-to-be-) husband, he will be thrilled.

Ladies only
Our boudoir sessions are ladies only. This means that you will be photographed by a female photographer. All post-processing (retouche, photoshop) will be handled by her as well.

For more information, just contact us.

How to plan your day?

Although we have a very spontaneous way of photographing your wedding day, we need to plan and coordinate a lot in order to be on the right time on the right place.

To achieve this we have a meeting with our couples about three weeks before the wedding. Just to discuss all the nice details, to get to know each other a bit better and to see if nothing has been forgotten.

We noticed that many couples could use some hints with planning their day, well here they are:

1) Preparation
2) Bridal session
3) Portrait sessions
4) Group photo sessions
5) Zahvalnice
6) First dance
7) Table decoration
8) What to eat and where to sit?
9) About competition and guests

I advise you to read them and not only if we are your photographers :-)

About competition and guests

I am a jealous guy… I do not like competition!

No, without joking, you know how it goes, during your wedding you look gorgeous and everybody will be photographing you, which is normal but keep in mind that this might disturb the photographer. Therefore I advise to discuss this with him / her.

We have the following ‘rules’:

1) with the portraits / formals we do not like to have guests with us, unless they are part of the bridal party. No guests, no camera’s
2) during the ceremony we can not ask people to move (we must be silent), so if they appear in the photo, so be it
3) anywhere else we will ask them nicely to move if they are in the way :)

About videographers: if you rented one via me, it will be fine, we work together. If you rented one yourself, please let us know on time, and if he is a pro, things will be fine as well.

update ...

However, friend- or family videographers tend to forget that they might disturb us by standing in the way …

In general everything should be fine but you pay us to photograph your wedding and we will do our best to take the photos we need, whatever it takes … :)

Forward in time
