who is behind this project

meet your hosts

Originally from Budapest, I am a wedding and elopement photographer living near Rome, Italy. I love the countryside, nature and especially my dogs; hiking in the mountains but also going SUP in the sea. Traveling has always been important in my life, and I am lucky to go back to Venice with you! Once of my favorite cities.

Since 2015, l’ve been taking photos of couples, families, weddings, and more. When I’m not behind the camera or designing, l’m with Ichigo, my red Shiba Inu, Ollie, my black and white cat and Tal, my husband. I love traveling and exploring new places, which always gives me fresh ideas for my work. Art in all its forms inspires me every day, fueling my passion for creativity.

first retreat October 21, 2021 ~ Rome

the first theme

We had the privilege of working with two breathtaking brides who embodied elegance and grace, perfectly portraying our celestial love theme. Despite a few unexpected challenges on the day, their connection and radiance shone through, creating an unforgettable portrayal of a model couple. From heartfelt vows to joyful laughter, every moment was nothing short of magical. Stay tuned for the upcoming blog post, where we’ll showcase the incredible work of our talented participants. ✨
