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!

Romance in the heart of Tivoli Park
Ljubljana is home to venues that beautifully combine the energy of the city with natural beauty and historic charm. One of the finest examples is Švicarija in Tivoli Park—an iconic villa that offers one of Slovenia’s most sought-after wedding settings. As an experienced wedding photographer, Vanessa Tivadar frequently works with couples who choose Švicarija, capturing every magical moment through her lens. This venue is more than just a place to celebrate; it serves as an inspiring backdrop for photographs filled with romance, elegance, and natural harmony.
Also known as Bistro Švicarija, the venue is tucked away within Tivoli Park, just a short walk from Ljubljana’s city center. Once known as Hotel Tivoli and a gathering place for artists and intellectuals, the historic building combines timeless architecture with an open garden and terrace surrounded by lush greenery. Couples discover the perfect balance between intimacy and sophistication, making it an ideal setting for weddings that blend urban elegance with the tranquility of nature.
Why choose Švicarija for your wedding?
Švicarija offers a truly distinctive atmosphere, featuring a spacious terrace overlooking the park, beautifully landscaped gardens, and elegant indoor spaces. With capacity for up to 300 guests, it accommodates both intimate celebrations and larger wedding receptions. Couples can exchange vows on the terrace or in the garden, welcome guests beneath centuries-old trees, and continue the celebration inside the stylish bistro, creating a seamless flow throughout the day.
The surrounding beauty of Tivoli Park—with its tree-lined paths, ponds, and peaceful walking trails—adds an unmistakably romantic atmosphere while remaining conveniently close to Ljubljana’s vibrant city center.
Vanessa Tivadar particularly appreciates how photogenic Švicarija is throughout the day. Soft sunlight filtering through the trees creates beautiful shadows and warm tones, while the villa’s historic architecture provides elegant compositions that perfectly complement modern wedding photography.
Wedding photography at Švicarija
As a wedding photographer, Vanessa Tivadar takes full advantage of everything Švicarija has to offer. Bridal preparations inside the elegant villa, ceremonies on the terrace surrounded by greenery, and outdoor receptions provide endless opportunities for genuine and emotional photographs.
The golden hour in Tivoli Park is especially magical. As the sun sets, golden light bathes the trees, while decorative lights on the terrace create a romantic atmosphere for unforgettable evening portraits.
Vanessa carefully plans the photography timeline to capture spontaneous moments among guests, delicate details such as flowers, decorations, and the wedding cake, as well as stunning portraits along Tivoli’s picturesque avenues. The combination of natural light and historic architecture allows for a wide variety of photographic styles—from soft and romantic to refined and luxurious. The result is a collection of images filled with life, love, and the unmistakable atmosphere of Tivoli Park.
Many couples choose Švicarija because they immediately feel relaxed there. Without unnecessary formality, they can simply enjoy the day surrounded by loved ones in a beautiful setting. Vanessa captures these authentic emotions, preserving the freedom and joy that make each wedding unique.
A historic venue with endless possibilities
Švicarija is much more than a wedding venue. With a rich artistic heritage, it was once a meeting place for painters, writers, and intellectuals. Today it hosts many different events, yet weddings continue to showcase its unique character. The garden and terrace offer exceptional flexibility, allowing celebrations to transition effortlessly from a daytime gathering into an elegant evening reception illuminated by music and lights. The nearby park also provides countless opportunities for romantic portrait sessions.
Vanessa Tivadar has photographed many unforgettable love stories at Švicarija for couples seeking something beyond a traditional banquet hall. The venue combines comfort, natural surroundings, and timeless elegance, making it the perfect choice for couples who value authenticity and beautiful design.
