[RO] Iata ca am avut ocazia sa mai fotografiem o nunta pe meleagurile Bucovinei unde i-am cunoscut pe Florin si Alina. Florin este arhitect si am observat ochiul lui format pentru frumos cand ne-a dus sa vedem prima locatie in care dorea sa facem sedinta foto. Am fost pur si simplu incantati sa  vedem ca o gara din Romania poate arata atat de bine ca aceea din Suceava.
In ziua nuntii amandoi radiau de fericire si acest lucru le dadea o frumusete aparte. Ca si la orice nunta privirle tuturor se indreapta mai mult asupra miresei si de aceasta data au avut dreptate sa se indrepte asupra ei pentru ca Alina ne-a incantat privirile si obiectivele cu frumusetea si rafinamentul ei.

[EN] We had again the opportunity to shoot on the land of Bucovina where we met Florin and Alina. Florin is an architect and we noticed his trained eye for beauty  when we went to see the first location they picked for the photo shoot. We were thrilled to see that a railway station in Romania can look so good as the one in Suceava.
On their wedding day they were both glowing with happiness and this gave them a special beauty. All the eyes were on the brie that day and this time they were right to be for Alina delighted us and our lenes with her beauty and refinement.

[RO] Raluca si Mihai sunt genul de oameni care te fac sa te simti bine din primul moment, niste oameni deosebiti si ospitalieri. Raluca ne-a cucerit cu gratia si eleganta ei, iar Mihai ne-a induiosat cu dragostea pe care i-o poarta sotiei sale. E frumos sa vezi un barbat care stie sa-si arate dragostea si nu se teme ca acest lucru l-ar face mai putin barbat. Ne-am bucurat sa le fotografiem cununia civila si abia asteptam sa le fotografiem nunta.

[EN] Raluca and Mihai are the kind of people that make you feel good from the very first moment. They are special and hospitable people. Raluca conquered us with her  grace and elegance, and Mihai touched us with the love he shows his wife. It’s nice to see a man who knows how to show hos love and does not fear that this would make him less of a man. We enjoyed photographing their civil marriage and cannot wait to photograph their wedding.

[RO] Imi amintesc cum de-abia puteam sa-mi opresc zambetul in momentul in care i-am vazut pe Costi si Alina prima data. Stateam la masa si in momentul cand tinerii acestia au intrat in local am gandit: “Da, sper sa fie ei, chiar mi-ar placea sa fotografiez nunta unor tineri asa frumosi” :)… si asa a fost. E interesant cum intalnesti niste oameni despre care nu sti nimic, dar ai sentimentul ca-i cunosti de-o viata si subiectele de discutie nu se epuizeaza :)
Costi si Alina si-au facut cuib langa sufletul nostru inca din prima zi si… se pare ca au ramas acolo :)

Alina e o norocoasa! Nu doar pentru ca are alaturi de ea un barbat frumos (si care se imbraca cel mai bine ever:)), ci si pentru ca a avut parte de o cerere in casatorie asa cum viseaza cu ochii deschisi si inchisi orice femeie. Stiti cume e in filme atunci cand ea se uita spre cer si vede scris “Vrei sa fii siotia mea?”, ei… exact asta i s-a intamplat Alinei :) Citea cu voce tare” Alina, vrei sa fii sotia mea?” si apoi a zis repede “Nu se poate!” :). Nu-i venea sa creada :) si nici noua, celorlalte 99% dintre femei care nu am avut parte de asa ceva :)) Si cum altcumva puteam sa le “rasplatim” romantismul daca nu cu fotografii romantice?

Ne place de Costi si Alina pentru ca au simtul umorului si pentru ca la sedinta foto “Trash the Dress” cand Alina a aterizat prea repede si de tot in apa nu s-au apucat de plans ci de ras :). De asemenea apreciem efortul lui Costi de a alunga, in repetate randuri, cu blenda, vacile care doreau sa se adape exact din apa care ne servea pe post de fundal mirific in fotografiile lor de dragoste :)

[EN] I remember I could hardly stop smiling when I first saw Costi and Alina. I was sitting by a table when they entered the restaurant and I thought: “I hope it’s them, I really would like to shoot
the wedding of such a beautiful couple “:) … and it hapened. It’s interesting how you meet some people you don’t know anything about, but you get the feeling that you have been knowing them for a lifetime:). Costi and Alina got close to our souls from day one and … it seems they remained there :)

Alina is sooooo lucky! Not just because she has a handsome man beside her (who also happens to dress with great style :)), but because she received the proposal every woman daydreams about. You know, in the movies, when she looks up to the sky and there it is  written “Will you marry me?” … that’s exactly what happened to Alina :).  She was reading out loud ”Alina, will you marry me?” and then she quickly said “This can’t be true!” :). She couldn’t believe here eyes :) and neither do we, the other 99% of women who haven’t experienced such things :))

We like Costi and Alina for having a deep sense of humor and for the fact that they started laughing instead of crying at the Trash the Dress photo shoot when Alina fel too soon and entirely in the water :). We also appreciate Costi’s effort of repeatedly casting the cows away with the reflector. It seems they just wanted to drink the water that we used as a wonderful background in their love photos:)

Si ca sa nu fie fiecare cadru plin cu adaos nesolicitat de vaci,

iata cum a rezolvat Costi problema:

[RO] Cosmin si Ioana sunt unul din cuplurile cu care e o placere sa lucrezi. Nu trebuie sa le spui aproape nimic, pentru ca stiu sa pozeze foarte bine… poate din cauza ca si Cosmin este fotograf sau poate pentru ca sunt indragostiti lulea unul de celalalt si isi exprima in mod natural afectiunea :).
Ziua lor a fost frumoasa. A fost intr-o oaza de prospetime, la Valea Draganului. Vremea a fost si ea de partea lor; spun asta nu pentru ca a plouat aproape toata ziua, ci pentru ca exact la sedinta foto nu a plouat:) Unde mai pui ca am avut parte de o ceata superba care invaluia muntii si dadea un plus de farmec fotografiilor :)

[EN] Cosmin and Ioana are one of the couples that make it a pleasure to work with. We din’t have to guide them at all, because they knew to pose very well. Maybe because Cosmin is a photographer or maybe because they’re crazy in love with each other and naturally express their affection. Their day was beautiful. It was in a spot of freshness at Valea Draganului.
The weather was also on their side, we say this not because it rained almost all day long, but because it didn’t rain at their photo shoot:). There was a beautiful fog that vailed the mountains and gave a special charm to the pictures :)

[RO] Horatiu si Cosmina sunt niste oameni calculati (in special Horatiu :)) care nu si-au lasat nimic nerezolvat pe ultima suta de metri. De la inceput au stiut ce isi doresc pentru nunta lor si au facut toate lucrurile la vremea lor. Cred ca fiecare femeie isi doreste sa intalneasca un barbat care sa o iubeasca si sa o completeze si sunt sigura ca fiecare femeie viseaza sa aiba langa ea un barbat care sa o poata conduce cu pricepere pe ritmuri de salsa, tango, vals si multe alte dansuri :). Cosmina se pare ca si-a vazut norocul cu ochii in ziua cand l-a cunoscut pe Horatiu. Nu numai ca acesta o iubeste si o completeaza dar, fetelor, Horatiu stie sa danseze, si danseaza foarte bine :) E clar ca avand un dansator in lumina reflectoarelor petrecerea a fost cu adevarat petrecere.

[EN] Horatiu and  Cosmina are two well thought people (especially Horatiu :)) they left nothing to be solved in the last minute. They knew what they wanted for their wedding from the beginning and did all the things in time. I think every woman wants to meet a man to love and complete her and I’m sure every woman dreams of having beside her a man who can skillfully lead her in salsa, tango, waltz and many other dances :). It seems like Cosmina’s lucky day was the day she met Horatiu. Not only he completes and loves her, but, ladies, he can dance, and he does it very well :) It was obvious that having a dancer in the spotlights would make a great party.

[RO] Bogdan si Loredana si-au planuit nunta pana la cel mai mic detaliu, asa ca in ziua nuntii totul era perfect. Loredana purta o frumoasa rochie Pronovias, sandale Jimmy Choo care-ti luau ochii (si la propriu si la figurat :)) si nici Bogdan nu era mai prejos decat mireasa lui.
Biserica la care a avut loc cununia lor a fost impodobita cu flori si cristale si restaurantul era gatit de sarbatoare. Totul era foarte elegant si fastuos. Distractia a fost pe masura fastului, nu doar pentru ca i-au angajat pe cei de la Six Martini sa le faca show, ci si pentru ca ei si invitatii lor sunt oameni carora le place sa petreaca. Mi-l amintesc pe Bogdan luand un microfon si cantandu-i Loredanei in rand cu David, solistul trupei, era clar ca toata lumea se simtea bine. Punctul culminant al nuntii a fost al doilea dans al mirilor, un tango pasional care se desfasura in mijlocul invitatilor care se ridicasera de la mese sa-i vada. Bogdan si Loredana dansau sub lumina rosie a reflectoarelor oferind tuturor un adevarat spectacol. Va lasam sa va delectati cu cateva fotografii de la nunta lor:

[EN] Bogdan and Loredana had planned their wedding to the smallest detail, so everything was perfect in their wedding day. Loredana wear a beautiful Pronovias dress, her Jimmy Choo sandals took your breath away, and Bogdan was not a bit less handsome than his bride.

The church was decorated with flowers and crystals and the restaurant was dressed for holiday. Everything was very elegant and magnificent. The party was “on fire” not just because they hired the Six Martini band to perform, but also because the grooms and their guests are party people. I remember Bogdan taking a microphone and singing to Loredana along with David, the lead singer, it was obvious that everyone had a good time. The highlight of the wedding was the second dance of the grooms, a passionate tango that took place among the guests who had risen from the tables to watch them. Loredana and Bogdan were dancing under the red spotlight giving everyone a spectacular show.
 Enjoy some photos from their wedding:

[RO] Nu, nu vi se pare, aceiasi nasi ca si la nunta lui Marius si a Loredanei. Cred ca ar putea lua un premiu pentru “nasii anului” pentru ca au avut cu siguranta cateva nunti la activ :)
Dar sa-i lasam deoparte pe Sami si Alina, chiar daca-i indragim, si sa vorbim despre cele doua persoane care au fost in ziua aceea in centrul atentiei; David si Maria.
Pe David l-am cunoscut la nunta fratelui sau iar pe Maria am cunoscut-o doar cand David ne-a prezentat-o ca fiind prietena lui. Se pare ca aceasta domnita a reusit sa-l vrajeasca pe David, pentru ca nu a durat mult pana cand ne-au rugat sa le fim fotografi la nunta. Iata cateva fotografii de la nunta lor:

[EN] No, you’re not imagining, they are the same godparents from Marius and Loredana’s wedding. We think they should get an award for “godparents of the year”, for they sure had some weddings this year:)

But let’s leave Sami and Alina aside , even if we cherish them, and talk about the two people who were in the spotlight that day; David and Maria.

We met David at his brother’s wedding and we met Maria only when David introduced her as his girlfriend. It seems that this lady was able to put a spell on David, for not long after that we were asked to be their wedding photographers. Here are some photos from their wedding:

[RO] A sosit timpul sa facem un update major la blog, adica sa postam aricolele cu nuntile pe care le-am fotografiat vara trecuta.

Iata cateva fotografii de la nunta lui Marius si a Loredanei, unii dintre cei mai curajosi miri pe care i-am fotografiat. Ii consideram curajosi deoarece in ziua nuntii nu s-au dat inapoi de la cerintele noastre mai indraznete de a sta intinsi pe jos in curtea restaurantului avand in jur o multime de invitati care-i priveau si chicoteau. :) Pe langa faptul ca ne-a facut placere sa-i fotografiem, am avut bucuria de a ne reintalni cu niste fosti clienti de-ai nostri, care intre timp ne-au devenit prieteni, si care erau nasii lor. Povestea e lunga si incalcita :), asa ca mai bine va lasam in compania fotografiilor.

[EN] It is time to do a major update to our blog, meaning to post the articles of the weddings we photographed this summer.

Here are some photos from Marius and Loredana’s wedding, some of the most courageous  grooms we photographed. We think they are brave because on their wedding day they were not holding back from fulfilling our most daring requests. The request was to lay down near the pool in the courtyard of the restaurant having a lot of guests around who were watching and giggling. :) Besides the fact that we enjoyed photographing them we had the joy to meet with some former clients of ours, who in the meantime became our friends, and who were their godparents. The story is long and knotty:), so we’ll better leave you in the company of the photos.

[RO] Va invitam sa vedeti cateva fotografii de la sesiunea foto trash the dress a lui Costi si a Alinei, un fost fotomodel si a unei fete care a fost ceruta in casatorie ca-n filme :) Mai multe despre ei si povestea lor de dragoste in curand.

[EN] We invite you to see a few photos from Costi and Alina’s trash the dress photo session. Costi a former model and Alina a girl who was proposed to just like in the movies. :) We will soon tell you more about them and their love story.

[DE] Erste Hochzeit in Österreich. Ich weiss es nicht, ob ihr vorstellen könnt wie groß ist das Lächeln auf unserem Gesicht. Wir wollten seit lange schon, einen Hochzeit in Österreich zu fotografieren, und wir hatten endlich die Möglichkeit. Es gab da alle Zutaten, die ein Hochzeitsfotograf braucht um einen guten Resultat zu erschaffen. Es waren ein junges Paar, die sich liebten, und wir haben uns gleich am ersten Tag freundschaft beschlossen, somit die Atmosphäre war sehr offen. Die Plätze wo wir fotografiert haben waren wie im Märchen, die Gebäuden sehr sauber und im guten Stand. Wir müssten uns sogar mühe machen um zu gewöhnen, dass es keine Stromleitungen mehr unsere Sicht verstellen, weil es keine gaben. Die Hochzeit von Dalia und Sebi war die einfallsreichste von allem evangelischen, auf die wir bis jetzt Teilgenommen haben. Es gab sehr viel Spaß dabei, Dank ihrem ideenreichen Freunden. Solche Freunde findert man selten; jeder hatte seine Checkliste, und hatte mit bestem wissen seinen Aufgaben durchgeführt. Es war alles bestens organisiert, und das nicht nur weil Sebi alles unter Kontrolle hatte, sondern auch wegen seiner Freunde die Ihm dabei standen. Das Photoshooting hielten wir in Linz, wo es jede Menge gute Plätze dafür gibt, und wir sind sehr Stolz auf dem Ergebniss, trotz dem Regen und der Kälte an dem Tag, die unseren Händen ein wenig gebunden hatte.

[RO]  Prima nunta in Austria :) Nu stiu daca puteti deduce cat de mare e zambetul de pe fetele noastre. De mult ne doream sa fotografiem o nunta in Austria si, in sfarsit am avut oportunitatea aceasta. Toate ingredientele de care are nevoie un fotograf de nunta pentru a fi multumit de rezultat au existat din belsug. Am avut de-a face cu doi tineri frumosi, care se iubesc, cu care ne-am imprietenit din prima zi, astfel atmosfera a fost foarte destinsa. Locurile au fost de basm, cladirile curate si intretinute. Ne-a fost putin greu sa ne obisnuim sa nu mai evitam cablurile de pe stalpi, pentru ca nu existau :) Nunta Daliei si a lui Sebi a fost cea mai dinamica nunta de neoprotestanti la care am participat. Au avut loc multe jocuri organizate de prietenii lor ingeniosi si distractivi. Tinem sa mentionam ca asa prieteni intalnim mai rar; fiecare avea listuta cu indatoriri si nu s-a abatut deloc de la ea. Nunta a fost foarte bine organizata si din cauza lui Sebi care vrea sa le stie pe toate sub control, dar si din cauza prietenilor lor care i-au ajutat cu devotament. Sesiunea foto am facut-o in Linz unde am gasit locatii din belsug si suntem mandri de rezultat chiar daca am fost putin legati de maini din cauza ploii si a frigului care au durat toata ziua.

[EN] The first wedding in Austria:) I don’t know if you can guess the big smile on our faces. We have been dreaming for a while to photograph a wedding in Austria and we finally had the opportunity to do it. We had all the ingredients that a wedding photographer would need in order to be satisfied with the result. We photographed a young and beautiful couple, completely in love with each other with whom we became friends from the very first day, so the atmosphere was very relaxed. The places were magical, the buildings clean and maintained. It was a little hard to get used not to avoid cables on poles, because there were none:). Dalia and Sebi’s wedding was the most dynamic evangelical wedding that we attended. There were many games organized by their ingenious and fun friends. We want to mention that rarely one meets such friends, each had a list of their duties and did not depart from it. The wedding was very well organized because of Sebi who wants to know that everything is under control, but also because of their friends who helped them with devotion. We did the photo session in Linz where we found a lot of places to photograph in and we are proud of the result even if it was a little hard because of the cold and rain that were hard on us all day long.
