Probably my favourite photo of the season… :)

I have learned it the past few years that someone everyone finds something different in the same pictures – so I can only summarize what stands out for me from the wedding photos of Évi and Jonathan. But clearly, there is something special on their faces that I have already seen on the wedding, but I have realized it fully once working with the photos.

Just to follow the “timeline”, and starting with the wedding preparation pictures: I’ve never had such strong “father and son” photos before. Despite (or especially becuase?) I basically didn’t give them any instructions apart from asking the to move in the light, I was impressed by all the intimate moments and little gestures of the Father, and how naturally it was received by the Son. It was kind of a lesson for me: it wasn’t too much, it felt clearly natural, but so clear interpretation of the Father’s and the Son’s role that’s rare to see.

Secondly, and probably the most important, about the couple. Watch out for all their looks and little touches, in the details (and not the “big picture”, the poses or the surroundings): these two love each other, really. How they look at each other is the naive and honest childlike joy. Just look at the photo taken at the beginning of the ceremony, when they finally stood next to each other again.

Normally, we’re not a “fanatic black and white” type of photographer – but if there’s something special in the pictures, it helps to focus on the facial expressions, emotions and the important details… I have spent some time thinking on why the portraits work so well in black and white now – and then I realized this “childlike joy”, and understood everything. :)

We really wish Évi and Jonathan to keep this joy throughout their life – what we can do for now is to give some memories of how they’ve started their marriage. So please have a look at our favourite photos below, and enjoy the slideshow:

We have been invited by Éva and Jonathan – to a wedding full of life, joy, emotions. And then, we have arrived home with a bag full of pictures… it takes some time to bring them all to “life”, but we are getting closer and closer to the point when we can show the complete story in a slideshow. In the meantime, enjoy a short preview of the wedding below! :)

We have been lucky enough to finally photograph a wedding at Pannonhalma. A very special place in Hungary, with an essence of a thousands years of history condensed in a monastery – a location which I have visited a few times, and it always touched me. And I was wishing to have a wedding there once… and now, that was a dream come true. :)

The monastery, the cloister and the church, is an architectural masterpiece in itself, and all the stones, the surfaces, curves, arches and lights are a paradise for the photographer – and then comes the location itself. A hilltop, all over the ancient Pannonia: hills wherever you see, agriculture and vineyards, and a stunning sunset every evening seen right from the church’s entrance.
