Kind Words

Words that mean more than photographs.

"Saša photographed our wedding and later our maternity session, and both times we were beyond thrilled! The photos are natural and spontaneous, capturing the light and every important detail perfectly. Both the photographs and the video arrived very quickly, and the results exceeded our expectations every time. We would highly recommend him to anyone looking for beautiful, natural, and authentic memories of their most important moments!"

"We are absolutely thrilled with the outcome of our wedding photos from Sasa. They were very well done, extremely high quality and a good mix of posed and candid. He was able to capture so many special, emotional and candid moments. On the day, he was calm, fun, thoughtful and creative. He really added to the fun energy of the event! In short, we highly recommend Sasa for any event you have and we could not be happier and more grateful for him shooting our wedding."

An intimate luxury destination wedding set in the heart of Istria at the stunning Villa Cleo (Villas Borghetto) near Poreč.

The atmosphere was elevated with live acoustic vocals by Anastasiia Groshko and evening celebrations with DJ SHURKI.

Destination Wedding at D’Orangerie & Euphrasian Basilica Poreč — Sara & Toni

Sara and Toni’s wedding in Istria was a magnificent double celebration, combining their marriage ceremony with the baptism of their child. The day began with a deeply emotional ceremony inside the UNESCO-protected Euphrasian Basilica in Poreč, followed by a romantic walk through the historic, cobblestone streets of the Old Town for couple portraits. The highlight of the day was an extraordinary surprise for the guests: the couple arrived at their reception venue in style via a spectacular helicopter flight. The celebration continued under a luxurious marquee tent at D’Orangerie in Funtana, featuring world-class cuisine by Pirun & Pašada catering and high-energy music by DJ Sochic alongside Ivan Šugar on saxophone. As a wedding photographer based in Istria, capturing this seamless blend of intimate family moments, historic architecture, and modern luxury at D’Orangerie was a true honor. Explore the story of Sara and Toni’s unforgettable day below.

Novigrad Destination Wedding at Restaurant & Hotel Morgan — Jasmina & Denis

Jasmina and Denis tied the knot at the historic St. Pelagius Church in Novigrad, followed by a relaxed golden-hour session along the Istrian seafront. The sea breeze and old-town streets provided the perfect backdrop for authentic, candid wedding photography. The evening celebration continued at Restaurant & Hotel Morgan in the hills of Istria, known for its fine dining and rustic atmosphere. With music by Mister G deejay setting the mood, the night turned into an effortless, high-energy party. My documentary photography approach was all about capturing genuine moments, real emotions, and unscripted memories of their destination wedding in Croatia.
