The wedding industry in Croatia has bloomed with the rise of new ideas, Pinterest boards, social media and tourism in general. Each year the country breaks its own previous records in tourist visits which has definitely shifted the collective climate and mindset of the locals. Being from the Split area, we always had a great sense of tradition which we were raised in. When talking about weddings in Croatia we should consider two sides: the local weddings and the destination weddings.
Destination weddings are a recent trending phenomena. With the power of digital platforms, everyone in the world is able to come across photos and videos of our natural beauties, historical towns, thousands of islands, great food and many other things that make Croatia such a special place. Wedding planning businesses and agencies started opening their headquarters in Split and Dubrovnik, while styled photoshoots are being created by professional Croatian wedding photographers and videographers to cater to the perfect foreign guest.
Couples that choose to have a destination wedding on the Croatian coast, usually tend to pick venues such as beaches and olive tree gardens, which look stunning on photos. With the perfect florals and decorations, the venue can look like something out of a movie. It is always special when couples fly their families and friends out for their wedding, because it also gives the guests to experience some places that they would maybe never visit on their own. It’s not rare that some of the guests also decide to have a wedding in Croatia after visiting one first.
The key to having an unforgettable wedding in Croatia is to gather a great team of vendors that will make the whole process easier. We as professional wedding photographers will adapt to your wishes in a heartbeat. Don’t worry about the cultural differences, everybody involved will give their best to make you feel at home.
The major differences that we’ve come across these years are that foreigners usually have a whole bridal party, whilst locals only have a maid of honour and a best man. We love both options because each of them is a great choice for special photos with the most important people in your lives. Foreigners usually choose daytime weddings and small local restaurants with authentic Croatian food, preferably by the seaside or in nature. The setting you choose will be the biggest factor in how the photos come out looking, but when you realize how beautiful Croatia is, you won’t have a hard time finding the wedding venue of your dreams.
Thanks to the hospitality and effort of the locals, the experience is always next level. Couples usually greet us goodbye with happy tears in their eyes and unforgettable memories in their hearts. If you’re looking for professional photographers for your wedding in Split, Hvar, Vis, Dubrovnik or else, feel free to send inquiry and we will respond as soon as possible.
