Well, this wedding was just unreal! When Mia & Mark asked me to capture their big day, it was an easy yes. I had visited Dubrovnik a few years back with my partner and fell in love with the place, so going back to shoot a wedding in dubrovnik was an absolute dream.

Lets just start by saying it was HOT! So hats off to all of the wedding party wearing suit trousers, bridesmaid dressers and of course Mia in her wedding dress.

I arrived the day before the wedding to get a feel for potential photo spots in the old town dubrovnik and introduce myself to the wedding party.

Jump to the morning of the wedding, I arrived at Mia & Marks hotel to find Mark and the lads enjoying a quick swim down at the pool, while the girls were getting hair and make up done, perks of being in Croatia hey! Mia’s girls were at hand to keep everything running smoothly, and they were great fun to be around, as were the lads.

Taxi to Old Town Dubrovnik!

I had a good idea of how stunning the wedding ceremony at Sponza Palace was going to look, but oh my word, when I stepped inside it was out of this world. What a perfect setting to marry, and will certainly be one for friends and family to remember, but the magic didn’t end there.

After a quick fire portrait session at Sponza Palace we all boarded a boat to sail across to the reception at Villa Rose Kolocep. It was here that I earned my nickname “seasick dan” from the best man. It turns out me, cameras and boats don’t mix well! Anyway, as soon as I stepped foot on land I was fine again, phew.

Villa Rose was set on a beautiful Island off the coast of Dubrovnik, and yet again, it took everyones breath away, with stunning views out to sea, an amazing sunset, and a beautiful setup courtesy of Marcela Ban at D’Inspiration Dubrovnik.

As the sun set, great food was had, heartfelt speeches were heard and the party began! DJmirodubrovnic and Zac The Sax brought the good vibes way into the night and the dance floor was bouncing throughout.

Thank You Mark & Mia for letting me be part of your big day, it was truly spectacular.
