Finding a couple lovely, if they accept my invitation to visit my favourite places with me, moreover love being there – is obviously easy. But in the very first steps of such relationships, when I see only an e-mail from a couple starting to organize their wedding (and looking for a wedding photographer), there’s always a big room for uncertainties: who’re they in reality? Following the first meeting (in person, or due to the distance, over Skype), we get to know each other a little more, but much of what really matters, remains unkown…

Hence, the first photoshoot (typically, the engagement session) is always an exciting experience. There I will see those nuances that cannot be asked and written in an e-mail, and hard to see in a single meeting in all depth. I refer to the extremely important but very-very tiny details, just like the way how these two humans turn to each other, listen to each other, ask-react-respond, help each other on a narrow path crossing the rocks, hug each other, or in a short “neutral” period start chit-chatting, or simply spend a few moments together.

This photoshoot with Zsófi and Dominik on the Balaton-felvidék (*) with the just-arriving summer was a joyful moment for me not only for the flourishing trees and the wavy landscape, or the reed awakaning from the winter period, but rather more due to these nuances. Below you may find the slideshow and some of our favourite photos from this summer-starting engagement session – we look forward to the summer-ending wedding with these. :)

(*) Balaton-felvidék or “Balaton-uplands”: for those of you who’ll arrive to Hungary for the wedding, I have to note here that this is in my view the very best of Hungary, a region with typical Pannonian landscape, cultural heritage, and also a really dense region for culinary, wine and restaurants. Highly recommended! :)

Clicking on the photos makes them wide-screen! :)

Andrea and Gilberto has invited us to one of the greatest locations we have ever been to photograph a wedding. Even though it’s hard to compare a human-made building with picturesque mountains, we have to admit that the Villa Luppis was a 100% Italian atmosphere – with all of its details, the Villa itself, and of course also the hospitality and culinary aspects. What we have learned from Gilberto is that a person is perfectly defined by his details – and then, we have to admit, that the location itself serves as a perfect definition, or statement. And we loved it. :)

However, even the best wedding location is empty without people, relations and emotions – and here, we had everything: love, smile, tears of joy, hugs and kisses, those good friends who would solve ANY occurring problem for the groom (you know what I mean :) ), … and we were lucky to be part of it, and get the chance to capture it in photos.

Our first and foremost recommendation is to sit back and enjoy the slideshow, intended to tell the whole story – but for those who would like to have a quick insight before the slideshow, we have selected some of our favourite images below. :)

Clicking on the photos makes them bigger! :)

We dot know yet what to expect from the season of 2016, but the beginning is at least promising… :) On the weekend when the nice, sunny and warm spring has finally arrived, we had a perfect spring wedding with Panni & Jara.

First of all, if I will ever need a pictorial synonym for “spring wedding”, this bouquet will come to my mind – so beautiful, colorful, but still so light and natural. In the morning, right after I have met Panni, this was the first detail I have seen, and it was enough to set up my mind for the day. :)

An insider information: if we measure how stressed a person is on how he/she is able to sleep prior to the wedding, the two extremes of the scale were definitely the groom, Jara; and my talented new teammate, Niki. When I have arrived to the wedding venue, I was told by Panni that Jara was just taking a short mid-day siesta, sleeping somewhere.  :) In contrast to Niki, who was super-excited for her first wedding with the WeddingGrapher Team –  but next time she’s free to sleep. We’re happy to have her onboard, she did a really, really nice job here. :)

I do not intend to tell the whole story in words, we prefer to use photos for storytelling (let’s have a look at the slideshow!), but definitely, we had a nice and natural couple with all the feelings and emotions we always hope for on a wedding. And there’s another visually important point that I have to emphasize: the bridal dress of Panni. Designed by Daalarna, definitely the best wedding designer from Hungary… and not only because she’s using the name of the swedish province where I’ve proposed my wife. :)

Before I start to write too much (we were rather invited to take photos), let’s continue with the slideshow, that’s intended to tell the whole story. :)
