Wedding Shoot Magic in Istria, Croatia

Along the picturesque Adriatic coastline, the historic charm of Istria provided the perfect backdrop for a groundbreaking creative event that has taken the wedding industry by storm. And it's in our FOUR Wedding aesthetic that we're obsessed with.

The Palazzo Rainis Hotel & Spa in Novigrad recently hosted an exclusive wedding photography and videography workshop that celebrated the elegance of Art Nouveau and elevated the craft of visual storytelling to new heights.

Organized by the esteemed Artium Weddings (@artiumweddingscroatia), this first-of-its-kind event in Istria brought together a selected group of talented creatives from across the region.

The Wedding Venue

Far beyond a typical styled shoot, the workshop offered a full-day immersive experience

designed to educate, inspire, and connect both aspiring and seasoned professionals in the wedding industry.

Under the expert mentorship of celebrated photographer Ana Gregorič

(@anagregoricphoto) and renowned videographer Nomad Diaries Wedding Films

(@nomaddiaries_weddingfilms), participants explored advanced techniques in lighting,

composition, and cinematic movement. Through hands-on guidance and real-time feedback, attendees elevated their artistic approach and storytelling capabilities.

Models graced the scene in ethereal gowns by Royal Bride by Ivana Bilich

(@royal_bride_by_ivana_bilich) and classic menswear by Fidelio Tailor (@fideliotailor). Hair and makeup were masterfully executed by Žiga Velikonja @ziga_velikonja_hairartist and Inline Makeup Brides (@inline_makeupbrides), with accessories by Anamarija Nakit (@anamarija_nakit) completing the sophisticated Art Nouveau aesthetic.

A Hub for Creativity, Connection, and Career Growth

The workshop also emphasized the importance of community and collaboration in an

increasingly competitive field. Attendees engaged in meaningful dialogue, exchanged ideas, and built lasting professional relationships. The day’s activities cultivated an environment where creativity thrived, and future collaborations were born.

Every element of the event reflected meticulous planning and artistic direction.
