Beach ceremony setup with a lot of flower arrangements in Crikvenica, Croatia

My approach

Finding beauty in the in-between

I believe in the magic of quiet moments and the beauty of natural light, and it’s these elements that shape how I document life’s most meaningful stories.

Whether I’m capturing a wedding day, the joy of a growing family, the connection of two people celebrating life together, or simply documenting a fleeting season of life,
I do it with a sense of warmth and authenticity.

I take a laid-back approach to storytelling, focused on the beauty in the everyday. I want my work to feel timeless, natural, refined, and full of life.

I’m not interested in contrived moments or forced smiles and my goal is to let things unfold as they are, capturing the real, unscripted beauty in each moment.

My lens seeks the quiet details, the in-between glances, and the feelings that speak louder than any posed shot could. The beauty is already there.

My job is simply to capture it in the most natural, effortless way, by connecting with you on a level that allows those genuine, heartfelt moments to unfold.

  1. Wedding details with a flower bouquet and wedding stationery in Belaj, Istria, Croatia

    1.

    Reach out

    Fill out the inquiry form and tell me about your day. Your plans, your priorities, what matters most to you. There's no right or wrong way to do it, the more I understand you, the better I can prepare.

  2. Details of wedding table with plates, cutlery and wedding stationery

    2.

    Let’s connect

    We'll schedule a call or keep the conversation going over email, whichever feels easier. This is just a relaxed conversation where you can ask anything, talk through your plans, and get a sense of whether we're a good fit. Most couples know pretty quickly.

  3. L-O-V-E letters in light boxes outside the wedding venue in the sunset after the rain

    3.

    Making it official

    If it feels right, I'll send over a contract and invoice to secure your date. Once that's done, your day is in the calendar and you can stop thinking about it. From here I'll be in touch as the wedding gets closer to go through the details together.

My services

Weddings, Elopements, Couples, Engagements

Weddings + Elopements

For those beginning their next chapter together.

For couples who want their day documented honestly — the big moments and the quiet ones between them. I work in photography and video, alone or together with my partner, depending on what you're looking for. The goal is always the same: images and film that feel like your day actually felt.

Couples + Engagements

For every season of love.

Not every session needs to be tied to a wedding. Anniversary shoots, engagement sessions, or simply a moment in a relationship worth marking and these are worth documenting too. Relaxed, natural, no pressure.

My packages

No two weddings look the same, and the way I work reflects that.

Photography, video, or both — the packages
are flexible to fit your day.

  • Photo

    A carefully edited digital gallery, tailored to the length and shape of your day.

  • Video

    A highlight film of up to 20 minutes with a nostalgic, documentary feel, edited by me.

  • Photo + Video

    I shoot photography and my partner handles the video. One team and one point of contact.

Love letters

“We had the absolute pleasure of having Nives as our wedding photographer, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience and the results. She was incredibly attentive and thoughtful throughout the entire day. Always present but never intrusive.

Her style is a beautiful blend of documentary and editorial, filled with emotion and authenticity. She captured every moment so gracefully, with an artistic eye that noticed even the subtlest details.

Nives has a quiet, non-intrusive presence and a refined artistic vision that made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera. The photos are everything we hoped for and more, natural, emotional, and timeless.

Both Damjan and I are absolutely thrilled with the photographs. Thank you, Nives, for documenting our day so beautifully!”
