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!

Why Is Vila Tartini the Perfect Wedding Venue?
Vila Tartini is much more than an ordinary villa – it is a historic property managed by Brdo Estate that beautifully combines the elegance of the past with the comfort of modern living. Located in Strunjan, a peaceful coastal village between Izola and Portorož, right next to Strunjan Beach, it offers an exceptional setting for unforgettable weddings. Surrounded by a lush Mediterranean garden, the villa provides complete privacy and exclusivity, two essential elements for an intimate and memorable wedding day.
Couples can choose from several beautiful locations for their ceremony and reception, including the central courtyard and garden, a sea-view terrace, or a bright and elegant dining room. As the sun sets behind Piran, the atmosphere transforms into something truly magical. The light becomes soft and golden, creating the perfect conditions for stunning wedding photographs. Many couples choose Vila Tartini because it allows them to celebrate their entire day in one location – from bridal preparations in one of the luxurious suites to the ceremony in the garden, followed by dinner and dancing under the stars.
The villa also offers a limited number of rooms and suites with breathtaking sea views, allowing guests to stay overnight and extend the celebration. This makes it especially attractive for destination weddings, where guests can enjoy the natural beauty of Strunjan, take scenic walks along the coast, or visit nearby wineries during their stay.
Wedding Photography at Vila Tartini
As a wedding photographer, I know that the venue plays a major role in creating unforgettable images. Vila Tartini offers a variety of stunning backdrops that can be used throughout the day. The garden and courtyard are ideal for romantic portraits surrounded by flowers and greenery, where soft morning light filters through the leaves and gives photographs an ethereal quality. The terrace overlooking the sea is perfect for group photos, first kisses, and sunset portraits, with the deep blue Adriatic Sea creating a beautiful contrast and highlighting the couple’s emotions.
Inside the villa, elegant rooms filled with natural light provide the perfect setting for capturing details such as wedding dresses, rings, and floral arrangements. Just a short walk away, couples can enjoy seaside portraits on the beach, where waves and rocky shores add movement and depth to the wedding story. One of the most beautiful aspects of photographing weddings at Vila Tartini is working with natural light. At sunset, the sky is painted with shades of pink, orange, and purple, creating a dreamlike setting for silhouette photographs and romantic walks through the garden. Even rainy days can produce stunning results, as the villa’s interiors and soft light create an intimate, cinematic atmosphere.
I always recommend setting aside enough time for your wedding photography coverage. Begin with detail shots and preparations, continue with the ceremony, and finish with evening portraits. This approach allows me to capture authentic emotions – laughter, tears of joy, and gentle moments of affection – without any sense of rushing.
My Experience as a Wedding Photographer
I specialize in natural, documentary-style wedding photography. Rather than directing couples into unnatural poses, I focus on capturing genuine moments as they unfold. At Vila Tartini, I have had the privilege of working with couples who were looking for exactly this kind of authenticity, from relaxed bohemian garden weddings to elegant seaside celebrations.
One of my favorite wedding stories at Vila Tartini began with rain and ended with a spectacular sunset. Despite the unpredictable weather, we created beautiful photographs that reflected the true essence of the day: a love strong enough to overcome every obstacle. Couples appreciate that I become part of the team that helps them relax and enjoy their wedding day while I focus on preserving their memories.
Vila Tartini is also ideal for smaller and more intimate weddings with approximately 50 to 80 guests. This creates a warm, family-like atmosphere where every guest feels special, and that sense of connection is beautifully reflected in the photographs.
Additional Benefits of the Location
Beyond its photographic appeal, Strunjan and the surrounding area offer plenty of activities for wedding guests. They can explore the Strunjan Nature Reserve, visit the charming town of Piran, enjoy local wine tastings, or simply relax by the sea. This transforms a wedding into a multi-day experience rather than just a single-day event. Vila Tartini is also committed to sustainability and holds the Green Key certification, making it an attractive choice for environmentally conscious couples.
All of these magical locations, beautiful natural surroundings, and unforgettable moments can be captured by Vanessa Tivadar.

Whether you dream of an intimate elopement or a celebration surrounded by your closest family and friends, I can help create a visual story that reflects your unique love story.
Vila Tartini in Strunjan is more than just a venue – it is a place where dreams and reality come together, while the sea whispers stories of everlasting love. With the right wedding photographer, such as Vanessa Tivadar, these precious moments will be preserved forever.
