If you’re looking for a photographer who can capture spontaneous and emotional moments, without posing and pretending to be something you’re not… you have come to the right place. I will not be just a photographer, I will be the person you can count on on your wedding day.
CREATING TIMELESS MEMORIES WITH YOU
Hi, I’m Vanessa
My mission is to capture your best moments in a spontaneous and natural way, with no posing.
The one advice I’d give to any couple is: “Make sure to choose the right photographer for you.” You see, your wedding day will be one of the best days in your life. Now imagine a photographer that you don’t “click with” being around you the entire day. You should be surrounded with your favourite people and wedding vendors you can trust.
If you’re looking for a person that is relaxed, creative and always smiling, then you’ve come to the right place. Contact me for more info and let’s talk about how I can make you wedding day the best!

Fairytale nature for your one-of-a-kind wedding day
In a world of wedding venues dominated by classic castles and rooftop terraces, Čuden Ranč stands out as a true oasis of charm. This boutique outdoor event venue in Gabrje near Dobrova, just a few minutes from Ljubljana, offers an idyllic setting surrounded by unspoiled nature, where every wedding becomes a fairytale experience. As an experienced wedding photographer, Vanessa Tivadar frequently works with couples who choose Čuden Ranč, capturing every magical moment through her lens. This venue is more than just a backdrop—it becomes part of your love story, filled with warmth, relaxation, and natural beauty.
Nestled among lush greenery and open meadows, Čuden Ranč combines the atmosphere of an American ranch with authentic Slovenian charm. Their philosophy is simple: you arrive as guests and leave as friends. This welcoming spirit can be felt in every detail, from the organization to the relaxed atmosphere. It is the perfect venue for couples dreaming of a nature-inspired wedding with plenty of room for personal touches.
Why choose Čuden Ranč for your wedding?
Čuden Ranč offers a boutique setting that blends rustic elegance with modern comfort. It is ideal for intimate and medium-sized celebrations where guests immediately feel at home. Spacious meadows provide plenty of room for tents, customized decorations, and outdoor activities. Surrounded by trees, flowers, and open landscapes, the venue creates a romantic atmosphere perfect for an outdoor ceremony, a picnic-style reception, or an evening celebration beneath the stars.
Vanessa Tivadar especially appreciates how photogenic the venue is. Soft natural light, lush greenery, and charming ranch details—such as wooden décor, string lights, and rustic accents—create stunning photographs without the need for excessive posing. Whether couples envision a boho celebration or an elegant country-chic wedding, the venue adapts beautifully to every style.
Capturing the beauty of nature
As a wedding photographer, Vanessa Tivadar makes full use of Čuden Ranč’s unique surroundings to create unforgettable images. The gentle morning light and the warm glow of late afternoon provide perfect conditions for romantic portraits. Ceremonies beneath an old tree or framed by floral arches become unforgettable focal points, while picnic-style receptions allow for genuine, joyful moments shared with family and friends.
Vanessa carefully plans every photography session to capture preparations in the rustic setting, emotional moments during the ceremony, lively group photos, and magical evening portraits illuminated by decorative lights. The natural scenery offers endless creative opportunities, from close-up details of flowers to sweeping panoramic images of the entire celebration. The result is a wedding gallery filled with authenticity, freedom, and love for nature.
Couples often mention how relaxed they feel at Čuden Ranč. Without the formality of traditional banquet halls, the day flows naturally, allowing everyone to enjoy the celebration. Vanessa’s photography reflects these genuine emotions, creating timeless memories that traditional venues often cannot replicate.
A venue full of possibilities
Although Čuden Ranč also hosts team-building events, anniversaries, picnics, and private celebrations, weddings truly showcase everything the venue has to offer. The flexibility to set up tents, arrange personalized catering, and customize the day’s schedule allows every couple to create a wedding that reflects their own vision. Its proximity to Ljubljana makes travel convenient for guests while preserving the peaceful atmosphere of the countryside.
The venue’s greatest strengths are its natural beauty and flexibility. Couples can incorporate unique elements such as horses, picnic baskets, live music, or an evening bonfire, making every celebration truly unforgettable.
Vanessa Tivadar encourages couples to relax and enjoy every moment. The venue’s laid-back atmosphere naturally extends to the guests, making it easier to capture authentic smiles and emotions. Comfortable seating and shaded areas also help ensure everyone enjoys the day, especially during warmer months.
