Otocec Castle Slovenia Wedding

Monique and Justin first contacted us more than a year before their wedding. We were surprised that two Aussies chose the Otocec castle Slovenia for their wedding and one of the first things we asked was: “How on earth did you find this place?” Funny enough, this beautiful castle is only 10 min away from our home, and yet this was our first wedding here in our 6 years of working as wedding photographers.

Justin quickly explained that his grandmother comes from Slovenia and that his mother was also born here, but later moved to Australia. They wanted to celebrate their special day in an even more special place, that is why they decided to combine their wedding celebrations with discovering more about Justin’s roots in Slovenia.

Their wedding day was intimate, relaxed, full of love and discovering their Slovenian roots. With 31 guests both from Australia and Slovenia, they said I do in a garden ceremony behind the castle. The Otocec Castle is beautifuly set on a tiny island on the shallow running river Krka.

The Otocec in Slovenia, Europe was also chosen as a great starting point to jet off for their European honeymoon. They visited Croatia, Bosnia, Santorini, Positano, Switzerland and ended the trip with a cruise stopping at Copenhagen, Talling, St. Petersbugs, Helsinki and Stockholm.

“We contacted Simon and Katja over a year in advance when planning our wedding in Slovenia, throughout that whole time they always kept in touch, and were only ever an email away when we required advice or support about our wedding planning. Over the two days they photographed for us, they captured our family reunion and wedding with absolute perfection; pure emotion captured in their unique style. Their photos left us in tears when reflecting on our special day, the photos brought back the same feelings and emotions exactly as we remembered it.Their photos are a true reflection of the skill and passion as photographers.

Simon and Katja themselves, are an amazing, beautiful, husband and wife team. From the moment you meet them you feel that they genuinely care, and want to give you the best experience possible; that’s exactly what they delivered! If you want your wedding to be caught in the most beautiful way possible, for all eternity, we highly recommend Simon and Katja.”

Thank you Monique and Justing for letting us capture your special day.
