Wedding Photographer at Galerija Okusov
As a wedding photographer, I love venues that combine exceptional cuisine, historical charm, and natural beauty. Galerija Okusov is exactly such an extraordinary place – a modern restaurant with outstanding gastronomy, located in the beautiful Baroque park of Novo Celje Mansion in Petrovče near Celje. This venue offers elegance, warmth, and authenticity that create unforgettable wedding stories.
Galerija Okusov lies in the heart of the Savinja Valley, surrounded by a magnificent eighteenth-century Baroque park. Novo Celje Mansion creates an impressive backdrop, while guests enjoy themselves beneath the canopies of old trees, on perfectly maintained lawns, or inside the elegant restaurant interiors. This combination of nature and cultural heritage creates an atmosphere that feels both prestigious and welcoming. The restaurant is renowned for its modern cuisine based on local ingredients, seasonal dishes, and an exceptional wine list featuring more than six hundred labels. This is why Galerija Okusov is especially popular among couples who want a wedding where outstanding food and a beautiful setting come together perfectly.
Why Choose Galerija Okusov for Your Wedding?
Galerija Okusov stands out because of its versatility. Outdoor weddings beneath the magnificent trees of the Baroque park are especially magical and create a mystical atmosphere. The indoor spaces, including the restaurant and additional halls, offer elegant alternatives for both larger and smaller groups of guests, accommodating up to approximately two hundred people. The option to combine the venue with renting part of Novo Celje Mansion further expands the possibilities. Couples also appreciate the professional team that helps with planning, ensuring that everything – from the smallest details to the entire experience – runs flawlessly. The cuisine is of the highest standard, with dishes that surprise and delight, turning the wedding into a true gastronomic experience.
The venue is easily accessible from Celje, Ljubljana, and Maribor, which is a great advantage for guests. The park provides plenty of space for relaxed movement, while the surrounding nature allows for peaceful moments in the middle of the celebration. At Galerija Okusov, weddings feel personal, stylishly refined, and full of unforgettable flavors.
My Approach to Photography at Galerija Okusov
At Galerija Okusov, I prefer working in a natural and documentary style that highlights the elegance of the venue and the genuine emotions of the couple. The Baroque park, with its magnificent trees and historic architecture, offers exceptional opportunities for photographic compositions. During the preparations, I capture intimate moments in elegant interiors where soft light falls on dress details, bouquets, or rings. Ceremonies held in the park beneath the trees allow for beautiful emotional photographs with a natural backdrop. In the afternoon and at sunset, I create romantic portraits with the couple among the trees, near the mansion, or on the lawns where the golden light creates a cinematic atmosphere. During dinner and the celebration, I capture spontaneous moments – laughter around tables filled with exquisite dishes, first dance steps, and the joy of the guests. The special charm of this venue lies in the blend of nature and elegance, which gives the photographs depth and timelessness.
Among my favorite locations for couples at Galerija Okusov are the magnificent canopies of the Baroque park, which provide shaded and romantic backdrops for ceremonies and portraits. The lawns surrounding Novo Celje Mansion allow for wider compositions with the architecture in the background. The elegant restaurant interiors are ideal for detail shots and intimate moments. Outdoor terraces and pathways between the trees offer dynamic opportunities for walks and natural couple portraits.
At Galerija Okusov, I mostly work with natural light, which the park and interiors provide in abundance. The soft diffused light beneath the trees and the warm indoor shadows create ideal conditions for cinematic photography. I use lenses that allow me to work in different lighting conditions. In post-production, I enhance the green tones of the park, the warm colors of wood and stone, and the elegant details that reflect the prestige and warmth of the venue. The result is a collection of photographs that express refined luxury and genuine emotion.
Invitation
Galerija Okusov is not just a restaurant or a venue – it is a place where history, gastronomy, and love intertwine into an extraordinary wedding experience.

As a wedding photographer, I have captured many couples here who wanted elegance without coldness and authenticity with a refined touch.
