Morning
The avenues
The mansions and façades in the first light.
An avenue lined with belle époque mansions, a domed concert hall and a park spreading out around a lake.
Bucharest was once called "little Paris". And in its quietest corners, you understand why straight away.
This is the moment we came here to keep.
Why Bucharest
A city of contrasts
Neoclassical mansions, arcades, Orthodox churches, great parks and one of the largest buildings in the world. Bucharest has many faces.
For a couple this means variety: elegance on the avenues, warmth in the lanes of the Old Town, calm in the parks.
It is the perfect place for an after-wedding session a few days after the wedding, for a pre-wedding shoot before the big day, or for an elopement just for the two of you.
The light
Three moments of the day, three different stories
In Bucharest the light is warm in summer and low in winter. The large parks give soft light even at midday.
Afternoon
The Old Town
Lanes, arcades and warm corners.
Sunset
The parks
The lake and the trees in golden light.
The places
Where we photograph
We plan the route together, depending on the light, the crowds and how much you want to move around.
- Romanian AthenaeumThe concert hall with its dome and columns.
- Calea VictorieiMansions, palaces and elegant façades.
- Old TownThe lanes around Lipscani and the old arcades.
- King Michael I ParkThe great lake, ideal at sunset.
- Peleș CastleA day trip to the Carpathians, about two hours away.
Before you travel
Seasons, timing and what to wear
When to come
Spring and autumn have mild weather and beautiful colours in the parks. Summer is hot, while winter is cold and often snowy.
The time that matters
We photograph the avenues and the Old Town early, before they fill up. We keep the sunset for the parks.
Styling
Elegant and classic: a good suit, a dress with character, a coat in winter. Warm neutrals and deep colours blend with the mansions.
The experience with us
We know the city's quiet corners
We have photographed here. We know when the avenues empty, which courtyards stay quiet and how to combine the city with a trip to the mountains. So you live your day, and we take care of the rest.
- Before the tripWe talk about dates, styling and the kind of images that move you. We plan the route together.
- Morning on the avenuesWe start early, among the mansions and the great squares.
- The Old TownLanes, arcades, a few gentle directions. We do not stage poses; we let you be together.
- A coffeeA break in an old café, some rest.
- Sunset in the parkThe lake in golden light, the most tender part of the day.
