Marieta and Stanko | Corberon resort wedding

Marieta and Stanko were married on a rainy Sunday in Croatia. The wedding would take them and their guests on a journey from a church in a historic city to a secluded, romantic forest. The rain did nothing to dampen the wedding party’s spirits, but it did help create some magical photo opportunities that only enhanced the natural beauty of their venue.  

 

The Photography

The wedding photography for Marieta and Stanko was aided by the two unique and striking locations where the ceremony and the reception took place. The Romanesque-Gothic design of St. Nicholas’ church made for an incredibly classic and romantic setting. Deep in the forest at the reception, the combination of the strings of lights and the mist from the rain gave the photos an ethereal, dream-like quality.

The Wedding Ceremony

Varazdin is an 800-plus-year-old city in Northern Croatia where the medieval, gothic architecture is still very much intact. Marieta and Stanko were wed at St. Nicholas church, a church that is believed to have been built at the time of the town’s inception in the 1100s.

The Reception

After the ceremony, the 80 or so guests set out on a bus on the 90km trek to the Corberon Wedding Resort, just north of Zagreb. The venue sits in the middle of a centuries-old forest and provides a beautiful, remote and rustic location for the wedding celebration. The reception was held under a tent due to the weather which only added to the intimate feel of the event.

 

It was an incredible party, deep in the woods. There was incredible food, a loving mood, and incredible entertainment. The wedding band Exzodiac provided the soundtrack to the festivities which peaked when they brought out the night’s special, surprise guest, ZsaZsa. It was an unforgettable night for all involved.
