Elegant and Intimate: Laura and Mario's Emotionally Charged International Outdoor Wedding

Step into a world of elegance and emotions as we delve into the exquisite international outdoor wedding of Laura and Mario on a picturesque summer day at the Tölgyes Kúria in the Balaton Uplands.


Photographing a wedding at the Tölgyes Kúria in the Balaton Uplands has been a long-held dream of mine. When Laura and Mario approached me to capture the most beautiful and emotional moments of their outdoor wedding, I was overjoyed. The venue, nestled on a panoramic hillside, provided the perfect backdrop as they exchanged their vows under the shade of two majestic oak trees.


Their wedding prioritized a close-knit, intimate atmosphere and a touch of elegance. With Mario's upbringing in the United States, their style reflected a minimalist yet emotionally charged approach that was comfortable and fitting for them.


Foregoing traditional wedding norms, Laura and Mario focused solely on what truly mattered – a day that was about them, their relationship, family, and joy. This emphasis on authenticity made their day truly perfect.


Their anticipation for the ceremony was palpable, resulting in an entire day filled with excitement. Children played and laughter echoed as guests conversed. The weather aligned perfectly with the outdoor setting, creating a flawless backdrop for both the ceremony and celebration. Every fleeting moment was expertly captured by myself and videographer Egyed Zsófia.


Laura and Mario's personalities and approach won my heart. Even today, their memories bring a smile to my face. I find myself wishing they could get married every year, as I was fortunate to capture such a kind and perfect memory of their special day.


This is precisely what I adore about photographing international weddings – the departure from tradition, the emphasis on connections and celebration, and of course, the heartfelt vows exchanged between two people.
