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.

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.

A Fairytale Wedding in the Heart of the Vipava Valley
Dvorec Zemono is one of the most sought-after and picturesque wedding venues in Slovenia. Perched on a hilltop among the vineyards of the Vipava Valley, this historic Renaissance-Baroque manor offers a unique blend of cultural heritage, natural beauty, and exceptional gastronomy. For couples seeking elegance, romance, and an authentic Slovenian experience, a wedding at Dvorec Zemono is a dream come true. As an experienced wedding photographer, Vanessa Tivadar is delighted to capture every magical moment at this prestigious location.
Dvorec Zemono, also known as the Lanthieri Belvedere Manor, dates back to the 17th century. Built in the Palladian style, it features distinctive arcades, frescoes, and a symmetrical design reminiscent of Italian villas. Surrounded by vineyards, ancient chestnut trees, and breathtaking views of the Vipava Valley, the estate combines historic charm with modern comforts, making it an ideal venue for both intimate ceremonies and larger celebrations.
The renowned restaurant Pri Lojzetu, located within the manor, is celebrated for its Michelin-starred cuisine and exceptional menus inspired by local ingredients. Couples can choose to hold their civil ceremony in the manor’s elegant wedding hall or in the gardens, where the gentle breeze carries the scent of vineyards and herbs. The surroundings offer countless opportunities for romantic wedding photography, from the arcades and landscaped gardens to panoramic viewpoints overlooking the valley.
As a wedding photographer, Vanessa Tivadar understands the unique charm of this venue. Through her natural, documentary-style approach, she captures genuine emotions, the play of light across the historic architecture, and the beauty of the landscape as it changes throughout the day. Vanessa Tivadar proudly offers her wedding photography services to couples who choose Dvorec Zemono for their special day.
Why Is Dvorec Zemono Such a Popular Wedding Venue?
One of the manor’s greatest strengths is its location. Just a few kilometers from the town of Vipava, it sits in the heart of the vineyards, creating an idyllic and cinematic atmosphere. The venue is intimate enough for weddings of 50 to 150 guests, yet spacious enough to accommodate elegant celebrations. The gardens and terraces provide beautiful outdoor ceremony spaces, while the interior salons, adorned with frescoes and historic furnishings, offer a sophisticated alternative in case of bad weather.
Another major highlight is the culinary experience. Pri Lojzetu serves outstanding menus that combine traditional Vipava Valley flavors with contemporary techniques. Couples can choose wedding packages that include accommodation, décor, and comprehensive event planning. The venue is known for tailoring every wedding to the couple’s wishes, ensuring that each celebration feels unique and personal rather than following a standard template.
For a wedding photographer, Dvorec Zemono is a dream setting. Natural light streams through the large windows and arcades, while the golden hour bathes the vineyards in warm tones. Vanessa Tivadar takes full advantage of these conditions to create timeless imagery, from elegant bridal portraits beneath the arcades to group photographs among the vineyards at sunset.

The wedding day typically begins with morning preparations in elegant rooms or nearby accommodations. Vanessa Tivadar arrives early to discreetly document intimate moments—getting dressed, smiles, nervous glances, and emotional embraces shared with family members.
The civil ceremony can take place either in a hall adorned with historic frescoes or in the garden overlooking the valley. Following the ceremony, guests enjoy an aperitif while the couple takes advantage of the beautiful surroundings for their wedding portraits.

Vanessa Tivadar effortlessly follows the flow of the day, capturing everything from formal portraits to spontaneous moments of joy among guests.
