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 Marina Portorož
Portorož, a true jewel of the Slovenian coast, offers a dreamy wedding backdrop with its Mediterranean charm and open sea views. In the heart of this seaside setting lies Restaurant Marina Portorož, located right by the marina and the water. The venue blends elegant design, fresh seafood cuisine, and a relaxed coastal atmosphere shaped by reflections of the sea and unforgettable sunsets. A wedding photographer at Marina Portorož becomes a master of light and emotion, capturing love mirrored in the turquoise surface of the sea, laughter during aperitifs, and quiet embraces at sunset.
Restaurant Marina Portorož is situated in the marina area on Cesta solinarjev. It offers direct views of the Adriatic waters, yachts, and harbour, creating a naturally romantic setting. The renovated space combines modern elegance with Istrian character—open interiors, a seaside terrace, and flexible indoor areas designed for wedding celebrations. The location is especially appealing for couples who want a wedding infused with the scent of the sea and a true Mediterranean atmosphere.
Why choose Marina Portorož for your wedding?
Marina Portorož is a versatile venue that can host between 10 and 120 guests. Indoor areas allow for comfortable celebrations regardless of weather, while the terrace connects seamlessly with the interior, creating a smooth flow between ceremony, dining, and dancing. Civil ceremonies can take place directly by the sea or on the lawn in front of the restaurant, overlooking the marina.
The kitchen is based on fresh, local Istrian ingredients. Menus are flexible, ranging from seafood dishes, Istrian prosciutto, and cheeses to seasonal creations complemented by an extensive wine list featuring more than 600 labels from across Slovenia. A sommelier ensures perfect wine pairing with each course. Couples can also choose an all-inclusive wedding package, which may include accommodation in nearby hotels, boat rentals, or additional tailored services.
Wedding season in Portorož runs from spring to autumn, when conditions are ideal for outdoor celebrations. Sunsets over the sea, reflections on the water, and warm evening light create natural scenery that wedding photographers find especially inspiring.
The role of a wedding photographer at Marina Portorož
A wedding photographer at this location must know how to work with reflective sea light, which softens portraits and creates a dreamy glow. Morning preparations in hotel rooms, golden-hour portraits on the terrace, and evening shots under marina lights offer endless cinematic possibilities. A skilled photographer captures spontaneous moments: the bride smiling while looking at yachts, the first kiss by the water, guests enjoying dinner, and quiet emotional pauses during the celebration.
The strongest images often come from the terrace overlooking the sea, among the yachts, or inside the venue with soft reflections of light. Wedding photographs from Marina Portorož carry a sense of freedom, romance, and Mediterranean lifestyle—timeless memories that remain vivid for years.
