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!

Capturing the Magic of a Fairytale Wedding
Mokrice Castle, one of the most prestigious and romantic wedding venues in Slovenia, has inspired couples for centuries who dream of a wedding worthy of a royal fairytale. This medieval castle, proudly standing on a hill in the Posavje region near Brežice, surrounded by a lush English park, a golf course, and untouched nature, offers a unique setting for an unforgettable wedding day. As a wedding photographer with many years of experience at such locations, I can say that every wedding at Mokrice Castle is a story of its own, filled with elegance, history, and emotions that deserve to be preserved in timeless images. With a natural, relaxed, and colorful approach, I create photographs that continue to move couples decades later.
Historical charm and romantic atmosphere of Mokrice Castle
Mokrice Castle dates back to the Middle Ages and has served for centuries as a noble residence. Today, it has been transformed into a luxurious boutique hotel with restaurants, conference facilities, and premium accommodation. Its architecture, with towers, defensive walls, a courtyard, and grand interior halls, creates an atmosphere reminiscent of cinematic scenes. For couples, it offers the perfect blend of prestige and intimacy.
Weddings at Mokrice take place in several distinct settings. The castle courtyard is ideal for a ceremonial outdoor celebration, while the English park allows for romantic walks and portraits among ancient trees. Indoor halls, such as the grand wedding hall, are perfect for elegant receptions and dinners, while nearby forest locations offer a more relaxed, natural wedding style with a royal or woodland feel.
As a wedding photographer at such a venue, I must pay close attention to changing light conditions—from golden morning rays illuminating the castle façade to magical blue-hour moments when the castle lights create a fairytale backdrop.
Why choose Mokrice Castle for a wedding
Mokrice Castle is not just a location, but a complete experience. Couples can host everything here—from civil or religious ceremonies to receptions in a top-class restaurant and overnight stays in castle rooms. A golf course, wellness facilities, and additional guest activities such as castle tours or park walks make the wedding truly unforgettable.
For a wedding photographer, this location is a dream due to its variety of scenes. Bridal preparations take place in elegant castle rooms with historic furniture, while first-look moments or romantic couple portraits happen in the park. The courtyard ceremony with the castle in the background, group photos among ancient walls, and evening celebrations with details such as wedding rings on antique windows or floral decorations in the hall all create unforgettable visual stories.
Every wedding brings its own challenges—from wind in the park to changing weather conditions—but an experienced photographer like Vanessa Tivadar knows how to turn these into advantages and create dynamic, living images.
What to expect
As a wedding photographer, my focus is on storytelling—from the nervous excitement in the morning to emotional ceremony moments and lively evening celebrations. At Mokrice, this becomes even more important, as the location itself adds an epic atmosphere to every wedding.
Vanessa Tivadar approaches each wedding individually. Before the wedding, she meets the couple, learns their story, wishes, and style. On the wedding day, she works discreetly while capturing all key moments—smiles, tears, hugs, and spontaneous interactions between guests. Her style is relaxed, colorful, and natural, without excessive posing, perfectly suited to the romantic castle setting.
Special moments often captured at Mokrice include couple portraits with the castle in golden hour light, dress details by castle windows, bouquets among park flowers, candid shots of guests exploring castle corridors, and nighttime scenes with lights or fireworks.
Couples who marry here often emphasize how their photographs later bring back the emotions and beauty of the day and location.
Modern wedding photography combines technique and artistry. We use high-quality equipment such as full-frame cameras and various lenses—from wide-angle for landscapes to portrait lenses for details—but the most important tool is the photographer’s eye. At Mokrice Castle, light plays a crucial role: soft indoor lighting, dramatic courtyard contrasts, and gentle park tones all require quick adaptation.
Why choose an experienced wedding photographer
A wedding at Mokrice Castle is an investment in location, organization, and memories. High-quality photographs are what remain forever. Poor images cannot replace a beautiful day, while excellent photographs elevate the entire experience.
Vanessa Tivadar offers packages tailored to different needs and budgets, always with a personal approach and the assurance that you will receive images reflecting your love and the magic of the location.
Mokrice Castle remains one of the most dreamlike wedding venues in Slovenia—a place where history meets love and creates unforgettable memories. A skilled wedding photographer transforms these moments into an artistic legacy you will cherish for a lifetime.
