We had the chance two spend a weekend on a spectacular location surrounded by picturesque mountains of Wilder Kaiser – a real ski-paradise, in the summertime. Sounds contradictory, but it was stunning, really. From the very beginning, we were sure that at least our eyes will be pleased – this is how the day started:

A little later we have learned that the day is not only for those who see, but also for those who feel – and the latter is always more difficult to photograph. But I always like to see the guests, friends and family, when they are queueing to congratulate, tell a few words or just hug the newlyweds. The faces, moments tell a lot about how they feel about each other – and here, these faces were telling something really heartwarming. There’s nothing that tells so much about you than your relationship with your friends…

And finally, a memorable picture that I have to highlight: their look, and that rolling teardrop – probably the most touching image a wedding photographer can ever make. Clearly, it’s not the photographer who makes this picture, it just happens – but we had the chance to take the picture. And then we have the wedding summarized in a single photo:

Dear Nina and Sebi, and of course of all you nice people, please turn on the music, switch to fullscreen, sit back and enjoy the slideshow:

We’re really celebrating with this blogpost. First of all, because Lili is one of our childhood friends, whose wedding we were waiting and praying for a few years – and now, the time has come. :) Secondly, we have now a set of pictures we have been dreaming about for years, but not easy to realize. But, as the pictures below show, Lili and Peti has taken all the challenge (the really caring observer can recognize the camera gear in Peti’s backpack) – and at the same time, we could show the youngest member of the WeddingGrapher team/family, what do we call mountains. :)

Hiking in itself can be a pleasuring activity – but now we had pictures waiting for us, that worth the struggle uphill. Not to mention the fact, that even though we have seen some photos with flowers and the rings, Eszter’s composition with the engagement ring and an edelweiss is really cool. :)

In the Julian-Alps not only the mountaintops are picturesque, but there is also something to look for in the valleys: the crystal clear and ice cold, turquoise waters:

After all, there was a last nice addition, ticking off another item from our Bucket List: a couple of years ago, we have found the ruins of an impressive, old residence close to the Bled Lake. We always wanted to get back there with a photoshoot, but being a Budapest-based wedding photographer, even if we’re always open to travel on location, it was not easy to realize. But now, thanks to Lili and Peti, we even had the chance to go there. :)

It was really hard to pick a “few” favourite images of us for the blogpost (see below), so let us primarily recommend everyone to sit back and enjoy the slideshow. Of course, first and foremost for Lili and Peti: enjoy your slideshow, and have a nice, long and joyful life together – God bless You! :)

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:
