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.

It was not the first wedding in my life that meant a lot for me on a personal level… but probably the first that really made me emotional. Suprisingly, even after, when I was just working with the pictures, and, at the end, watching the slideshow completed by my wife, the slideshow-specialist of the WeddingGrapher team. :)

I do not want to reveal all the personal feelings and stories behind, but: it was a wedding we have been waiting for a long time – and for sure, we really wanted to be part of it, and do our very best for them. Typically we have to focus on being emotionally involved “enough” in a wedding, to become “sensitive” – but now, we had to focus not be too much involved, and remain professionals in our work. Hopefully we managed to be professional photographers and human beings at the same time… :)

By far our most important observation about Vicky and Tristan was the visible beauty of their connection – the way they look at each other, how they touch each other, … that’s why we felt blessed already with their engagement session.

The real gift in addition to this was to see them with their friends and family. Even though from photographic aspects it is probably not the most exciting part of a wedding, but personally, for myself one of the most important part of the day is when all the friends and relatives are queueing and expressing their felicitations to the couple. Sometimes it tells a lot about their relation – and there is nothing that tells more about you then your relation to the people you’re surrounded by. And if I recall what I have seen at Vicky & Tristan’s wedding, we have learned a lot there, and what we have learned was heartwarming. Being a friend of them seems to be joyful at least. :)

The slideshow of course tell a lot more (at least we hope) about the wedding day, that was only one reason to watch… so please sit back, get a headset and come with us to be part (again) of this beautiful day – which was gifted in many ways, including an unexpected but brightly shining sunlight, among others. :) In addition to the slideshow, beyond you may find some of our favorite images.
