This year, I’m traveling to eight new countries. That’s is probably a record and a rarity considering that in recent years, we just tended to go back to the countries that are our favorites.

Of those eight, I’ve only managed to share a complete post of our shoot in Morocco last March. And those who have seen that know how exotically amazing that was. This time we shift our focus to Slovenia for Kristine and Gasper’s wedding and pre-wedding shoots.

When Kristine asked me if I can travel to Slovenia to shoot, I honestly had to use google to know where exactly it is. I’m not bad in geography, so for some place I had to google, I knew it will be an adventure enough for me to fly and work even if it falls on my birthday.

Kristine is a Metrophotobride. Feisty, sophisticated, and doesn’t only have a knack for the unique but also makes it happen. So Slovenia, where Gasper is from, was the easy choice of location. The hard part was where in Slovenia.

I was amazed with how developed Slovenia is and how it is also very preserved. Kristine had been all over Slovenia and she has listed the best and the most un-mainstream places for us to shoot – this means that Lake Bled and Ljubljana are not included. She saved the quaintest and prettiest town for their wedding and the rest we would tour and shoot at for their pre-wedding. The only condition was that it would be very relaxed. We will have three whole days to really take the places in and shoot only when we can.

From Piran, to Gasper’s home town ng Idrija up to the caves of Postonja, I was able to see and experience places I didn’t even know existed. I’m sure that as you see the photos, you will appreciate them as well. Save all your wows though as we still have their beautiful wedding to feature next time. Enjoy.
