Alexandra and Cristi’s wedding was a beautiful blend of faith and emotion. From the quiet, intimate getting-ready moments at home – including soft boudoir portraits for Alexandra and laughs between Cristi and his groomates — to the emotional walk down the aisle with her father, the day was filled with genuine love.
Their ceremony in the Romanian Orthodox church was filled with tradition and heartfelt prayers. I loved that they made time for a relaxed couple shoot afterward — they were both fully present, soaking in each other and the day. It’s rare to see a groom so patient and joyful during portraits, but Cristi truly cherished every moment with his new wife.
The celebration continued at a Romanian restaurant, full of laughter, dancing and warmth. What I really appreciate is how much they trusted me — with their story and their memories. That kind of trust always leads to photos that feel real.
Romanian weddings are known for their warmth, vibrant traditions and deep family values – and this one was no exception. Friends and family gathered from near and far and filled the day with love and laughter.
As a London female wedding photographer, it’s always inspiring to see how different cultures bring their own beautiful touch to wedding days. I’ve been lucky to photograph many diverse celebrations. It’s been a while since I photographed a romanian event and I have to admit – I’d been missing the heart and soul of romanian weddings. Capturing Alexandra and Cristi’s big day brought me right back to my roots. The traditions, the music and the way family comes together – it reminded me of home and made me feel so connected to my culture again.
It’s rare to find a couple so open and enthusiastic during the portrait session and it truly paid off. The result was a collection of timeless images that beautifully reflect their personality and relationship.
What set this wedding apart wasn’t just the stunning details or the location – it was the atmosphere. As the sun set and the celebration carried into the night at River Restaurant, the joy never faded.
