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!

Wedding photographer at Negova Castle
Negova Castle, one of the magical castle gems in eastern Slovenia, provides an ideal backdrop for weddings that combine historical charm, intimacy, and an unforgettable atmosphere. This Renaissance castle, located in the village of Negova near Gornja Radgona, offers a unique setting where the past intertwines with the modern dreams of couples. As a wedding photographer with experience at similar locations, I can say that every wedding at Negova Castle becomes a true fairytale – full of elegance, warmth, and emotions that deserve to be preserved in timeless photographs.
Vanessa Tivadar, an experienced wedding photographer from Ljutomer working mainly in eastern Slovenia and the wider region, also offers high-quality wedding photography at Negova Castle. With a natural, relaxed, and vibrant approach, she creates images full of authentic emotions that couples revisit for decades.
Historical charm and unique atmosphere of Negova Castle
Negova Castle was first mentioned in the 15th century, though its origins may date back to the 12th century, when it likely stood as a wooden defensive manor. Today, it is a cultural monument of national importance and an architectural complex combining a castle ensemble with defensive walls, an inner courtyard, a Renaissance hall, and a rich herbal park. Surrounded by the hills of Prlekija, vineyards, and green plains, the castle radiates peace and romantic energy, making it perfect for wedding ceremonies.
Weddings at Negova Castle take place in several different settings that offer variety and flexibility. The castle courtyard, sheltered within the walls, is ideal for outdoor ceremonies in an intimate atmosphere. The Renaissance wedding hall provides an elegant indoor alternative with a historical touch. The herbal park within the complex allows for beautiful walks and romantic portraits among fragrant plants and greenery. This combination of history and nature creates an unparalleled backdrop for a wedding day.
As a wedding photographer, I must pay close attention to the interplay of light at such a location – from soft morning rays illuminating the old walls to warm afternoon sun in the park and the magical evening glow. Vanessa Tivadar excels at working with natural light and uses it to create warm, vivid, and emotionally rich photographs.
Why choose Negova Castle for your wedding?
Negova Castle is not just a location but a complete experience that allows couples to tailor their special day to their wishes. The possibility of a civil ceremony in the courtyard or hall, reception, catering, and additional activities makes the wedding truly perfect. The privacy offered by the castle is especially valued – guests can relax in an intimate environment without crowds of other visitors.
For a wedding photographer, Negova is a dream due to its variety of motifs. Bridal preparations in the castle rooms with historical ambiance, a romantic first look in the herbal park, the ceremony with the castle in the background, group photos among ancient walls, and evening receptions with lights create a rich palette of scenes. Every wedding brings its own stories – from the wind playing with the bride’s veil to spontaneous moments of guests exploring the castle grounds.
What to expect from an experienced photographer
As a wedding photographer, I focus on telling your love story from the beginning of the day to the final dance steps. At Negova Castle, this means capturing a blend of historical charm and modern romance. Vanessa Tivadar approaches each wedding individually. Before the big day, she meets the couple, learns their story, values, and desired photography style. On the wedding day, she works discreetly yet attentively, capturing genuine, unrepeatable moments – smiles, hugs, tears of joy, and relaxed interactions among friends and family.
Special motifs often captured at Negova include:
- Portraits of the couple in the herbal park with soft natural light
- Details such as the bridal bouquet among herbs or rings on an antique window
- The ceremony in the courtyard with the castle walls in the background
- Candid and group photos of guests enjoying the castle atmosphere
- Evening shots with warm lights and castle illumination
Couples who choose Negova often emphasize how the photographs later bring back the emotions and atmosphere of this unique location.
Modern wedding photography combines top-level technical skill with an artistic eye. High-quality equipment allows work in different lighting conditions – from wide-angle lenses capturing the entire castle setting to portrait lenses for intimate details. The most important element, however, remains the photographer’s ability to capture genuine emotion at the right moment. At Negova Castle, light plays a key role: soft tones in the park, dramatic contrasts in the courtyard, and warm indoor lighting in the hall require creativity and quick adaptation.
Vanessa Tivadar is known for this combination of technical excellence and emotional sensitivity. Her albums are not just collections of images but emotional narratives that couples love to relive.
Why an experienced wedding photographer is essential for a Negova Castle wedding
A wedding at Negova Castle is a meaningful investment in memories. While the location and organization shape the day, photographs are what remain forever. High-quality, authentic images elevate the entire experience, while average ones cannot replace the magic of the moment.
