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.

In a world where weddings are increasingly turning into grand spectacles, true value still lies in simple, authentic moments. The smile of a bride when she first sees her groom, the embrace of parents as the waves of the Adriatic gently echo in the background, or the golden light of sunset over Tartini Square and the deep blue sea—these are the moments that truly matter.
This is exactly the kind of story created at Art Hotel Tartini, a magical boutique artistic retreat in the heart of the Slovenian coast in Piran. This unique hotel, infused with art, has become one of the most sought-after intimate wedding venues in Slovenia. And if you are looking for a photographer who not only captures these moments but brings them to life with artistic sensitivity and authenticity, the answer is simple: Vanessa Tivadar.
Vanessa Tivadar, a third-generation photographer, specializes in wedding photography that follows truth rather than trends. Her style is natural, spontaneous, and emotional—free from forced poses and artificial smiles.
“I don’t want you to pretend,” she says. “I want you to be yourselves. I’ll be there to capture everything.”
Her work is timeless—photographs you will revisit decades later, remembering not only the day but also the emotions, the scent of sea salt, the presence of art, and the light of that special day at Art Hotel Tartini.
Why Art Hotel Tartini inspires exceptional wedding photography
Art Hotel Tartini is not just a hotel—it is a living artistic story intertwined with history, the sea, and love. It stands directly on Tartini Square in the heart of Piran, a picturesque coastal town known for its Venetian architecture, narrow streets, and breathtaking views of the Adriatic.
Named after the famous Baroque composer and violinist Giuseppe Tartini, who was born in Piran, the hotel was completely renovated in 2018 with an artistic vision by the renowned Slovenian artist JAŠA. Each of the fifty uniquely designed rooms features an original artwork, and the narrative continues throughout the corridors and shared spaces. The interiors represent a fresh approach to integrating art into everyday life—light, movement, and creativity merge in the heart of Piran.
A wedding ceremony on one of the hotel’s beautiful terraces feels like something out of a fairytale. Overlooking Tartini Square and the Adriatic Sea, they offer a romantic backdrop for exchanging vows—sunlight reflecting off the waves creates magical patterns across the historic facades.
Vanessa Tivadar often says this is where it is easiest to capture genuine emotion. As the couple exchanges vows, the sea whispers in the background, the breeze carries the scent of salt, and the surrounding art enhances the atmosphere. There is no need for artificial lighting—nature, history, and art do everything.
Surrounding the hotel are Piran’s narrow streets, the historic square, and the seaside promenade, offering endless opportunities for romantic portraits. Golden sunsets over the Adriatic, seen from the terraces, create the perfect setting for newlywed photos that tell a story of beginnings by the sea. The terraces and rooftop views provide soft shadows, panoramic vistas, and a sense of infinity.
“There isn’t a single boring corner here,” Vanessa says. “Every step reveals a new perspective—from artistic details in the rooms to reflections of the sea and sunlit stone walls shaped by centuries.”
Inside the hotel, artistic interiors add to the charm, providing elegant spaces for preparations or receptions. If it rains, Vanessa seamlessly shifts focus indoors, where warm light and artwork create dramatic, cinematic images filled with intimacy and elegance. The hotel is ideal for smaller, exclusive weddings, combining personal service with exceptional hospitality.
How the wedding photography experience unfolds
Vanessa doesn’t arrive with just a camera—she arrives as a trusted partner. Before the wedding, she connects with the couple via video call to plan the entire day, from early preparations to the final dance.
On the wedding day, she is present from the morning, capturing preparations in art-filled rooms, the bride getting ready with views of Tartini Square, the first look, the terrace ceremony, portraits, and the full reception.
Her philosophy is simple: to be invisible, yet always present.
“Guests don’t feel like they’re being photographed—they simply enjoy the moment,” she explains.
The result is a collection of images filled with laughter, tears, and genuine embraces. At Art Hotel Tartini, this includes soft morning light through the windows, details on artistic floors, the aroma of coffee, and the excitement of family.
The ceremony unfolds on the terrace, captured in emotional, uninterrupted moments. Afterwards come portraits on the rooftop terrace during golden hour, among artistic elements, or in the narrow streets of Piran overlooking the sea. Vanessa gently guides the couple, keeping everything relaxed and natural.
The evening brings spontaneous moments on the terrace, toasts overlooking the Adriatic, and night portraits under the coastal sky. The day after, often called the “morning after,” offers relaxed portraits on the terrace, by the sea, or within the artistic interiors—perfect for additional romantic imagery.
Vanessa also offers comprehensive packages, from essential wedding coverage to additional services such as family photography, video, and premium-quality albums. Based in Slovenia, she knows Piran and Art Hotel Tartini inside out.
