Urška je že kar dolgo časa nazaj(beri: nekaj let) kupila dve rolci filma, z željo po ustvarjanju z analognim fotoaparatom, a sta zaradi pomanjkanja časa končali v predalu. Kar nekaj časa sva si govorila, da je zadnji čas da narediva tudi kakšno fotografijo na film, pa se nekako nisva spravila zraven. Morda zato, ker je veliko lažje in bolj zanesljivo fotografirati z digitalnim fotoaparatom, saj lahko takoj vidiš kje si naredil napako in jo tudi popraviš, morda pa tudi zato, ker sva vedno imela zraven digitalno opremo in bi nama analogni fotoaparat predstavljal le še nekaj dodatne opreme. Na začetku letošnjega leta pa sva se odločila, da bo film potoval z nama, ko bova šla na ogled poročnih lokacij, na kakšno fotografiranje ali pa kar tako. Nekaj tednov nazaj je bila prva priložnost, da sva lahko zraven vzela samo(!) analogni fotoaparat Zenit, rolco filma in sva šla na potep na Bled in v Ljubljano. Na Bled sva se, poleg seveda za prste obliznit dobrih kremnih rezin, odpeljala ker sva si želela malce pogledati lokacijo ene izmed poročnih sobot. Predvsem ker želiva biti dobro pripravljena in ne želiva zapravljati dragocenih minut poročnega dne za iskanje lokacije poročnega portretiranja(no, ampak o tem kdaj drugič). Glede na to, da je bila prejšnji večer v naših koncih nevihta, si vsekakor nisva predstavljala, da bo v petek takšen lep sončen in vroč dan. Med kremšnitnim sladoledom in kremšnitami sva naredila kar nekaj fotografij, za katere sva seveda komaj čakala, da jih vidiva. Po sprehodu sva se odpravila še na en krog po Ljubljani, kjer sva napolnila film še z zadnjimi posnetki. Glede na to, da je bila naslednji dan sobota in da delajo ob sobotah načeloma foto studiji le do dvanajste ali ene ure, sva se kar zjutraj lotila iskanja kje bi lahko film razvila in skenirala. Namreč, da bi čakala do ponedeljka se nama je zdelo preprosto predolgo. Res sva komaj komaj komaj čakala, da fotografije vidiva, saj nisva imela ideje kaj je uspelo in kaj e. Ko sva našla primeren foto studio sva hitro nesla razvit in ujela še zadnje pol ure njihovega delovnega dneva. Z vsem navdušenjem sva hitela domov, da sva si lahko narejeno tudi pogledala. Razvijanje filma(sploh prvega) je kot božično jutro, ko ne veš kaj te čaka pod smrekco. No z največjim veseljem lahko poveva, da so vsaj po najinem mnenju uspele in res sva navdušena nad fotografijami saj imajo takšen vintage pridih, ki te ponese kar kakšno desetletje ali dva nazaj. Ker pa je preveč najinih najljubših pa sva se odločila naprej deliti nekaj portretov, ostalo pa v kakšni izmed naslednjih objav.
Urška bought two rolls of film quite a while back(read:a few years), but they ended in a drawer, due to lack of time. We said to ourselves that we really want to do a few photos on film, but we never really got the chance. Maybe because it’s much easier to shoot with a DSLR, because you can see the output right away or maybe because we always taken DSLR cameras with us and a film one would mean just a bit more equipment to carry with us. On the start of the year we decided to take the film camera with us when we’ll be going location scouting or to a shooting. A few weeks ago we had the first chance to do that, because we went to lake Bled to see the location for one of the weddings in the summer. After the visit of the lake we went to a walk through Ljubljana to fill the film roll to the end. Since next day was Saturday we knew that photo studios will not be working past one pm adn waiting till monday was just too long, because we couldn’t wait to see what we shoot, if there are any good pictures or not. We hardy found a studio that developed and scanned our film and we go their just half an hour before closing. Developing film(especially the first one) feels like christmas morning when you don’t know what hides under the christmas tree. Well we can say that we love the photos, because they have a bit of a vintage feel and can take you a decade or two back. For now only these three photos, more next time.
Želiva vam čudovit sončen ponedeljek :)
We wish a great sunny monday :)
Najini USB ključki
Fotografija / Photography , Poroke / Weddings , Portreti / Portraits , Zaroke / Engagements
Že nekje sredi lanskega leta, ko sva še uporabljala DVD-je, kamor sva zapekla vse poročne fotografije in fotografije ostalih fotografiranj sva se odločila, da DVD-je črtava iz seznama, saj nama nikoli niso bili tako zelo všeč. Želela sva nekaj priročnejšega in elegantnejšega. In tako sva med brskanjem po spletu naletela na lesene USB ključke z vgraviranim napisom. Misliva, da lahko temu rečeva kar ljubezen na prvi pogled, tako zelo so nama bili všeč. Žal pa je bilo iskanje tistih ta pravih ključkov dosti težje, kot sva sprva mislila. Namreč pri večini podjetij je možnost nakupa samo večje količine skupaj, midva pa vsekakor nisva potrebovala 50 ali več USB ključkov. Po res dolgotrajnem brskanju in pošiljanju povpraševanj sva naletela na spletno stran podjetja Flashbay, kjer so imeli točno takšne lesene USB ključke, kot sva jih želela, prav tako pa sva lahko naročila samo 25 kosov. Na eno stran sva vgravirala naslov najine spletne strani, na drugo stran pa znak, ki predstavlja ljubezen, srce. Res sva vesela, da bova lahko letos najinim poročnim parom, dala fotografije njihovega najlepšega dne v obliki tako čudovitega izdelka. Prav tako komaj čakava, da dobiva še preostali material za najino celotno pakiranje. Ampak tisto pa naj ostane skrivnost za vse tiste, ki bodo prejeli poročne fotografije :).
Somewhere in the middle of last year, when we were still using DVD’s, on which we burnt all the wedding photographs and photographs from other session we decided, that we are cutting the DVD’s, because we never really liked them. We wanted something more convenient and more elegant. And in the middle of surfing the internet we found wooden USB flash drives with engraved caption. We think, we can call this love at first sight, because we liked them so much. But searching for that perfect USB flash drives was a lot harder than we first though. Because at most compaines you can only order fifty or even more pieces at once, and we really didn’t need them so much. After a long browsing we found website of a company Flashbay, where they had excatly the wooden USB’s we wanted and we only had to order 25 pieces. On one side we engraved our website address, and on the other a sign for love, a heart. We are really happy that we will be able to give our couples their wedding photos on such a great product. And we also can’t wait to get all the other materials for our packgaing. But that should be a secret for all those who will get their wedding photos from us :).
Imejte lep ponedeljek :)
Have a great monday :)
Prejšnjo soboto sva popoldne preživela na Velenjskem jezeru, kjer smo naredili zaročno fotografiranje Karmen in Dejana. Za danes vam pokaževa samo tole bokeh panorama, kaj več pa v eni izmed naslednjih objav.
Last saturday we spent the afternoon on lake Velenje, where we did an engagement session with Karmen and Dejan. For now only a bokeh panorama, we will post more photos in one of our next posts.
Imejte lep začetek tedna :)
Have a great start of the week :)
Saj kar ne moreva verjeti, da smo že maja. Polovica letošnjega leta je že skoraj mimo in res je hitro minilo. Prejšnji mesec sva imela kar nekaj zanimivh instagram fotografij. Kupila sva nekaj nove foto opreme, in sicer Canon 6D in objektiv 50mm/1.4. Dobila sva najine USB ključke, ki jih bova kmalu malce bolj podrobno predstavila tudi na blogu, prejšnjo soboto sva imela res sončno zaročno fotografiranje in ena najina lanska poroka je bila objavljena na poljskem poročnem blogu Sweet Wedding. V maju pa naju predvsem čaka veliko dela in učenja za kolokvije in izpite, ki prihajajo, da bova lahko potem v poletnih mesecih brezskrbno fotografirala.
We can’t really believe it’s May already. Almost half of this year is already gone. Last month we had quite a few interesting instagram photographs. We bought new photography equipment, a Canon 6D and a 50mm/1.4 lens. We got our USB flash drives, which will be on the blog soon, we had a great sunny engagement photosession and one of our last year weddings was featured on a polish wedding blog Sweet Wedding. In May we will be mostly studying for all our exams so that we’ll be able to shoot all the planned photoshoots and weddings in the summer months.
Imejte lep konec tedna :)
We wish you all a great weekend :)
Od lanskega maja fotografirava kot Canon team, saj si je Domen takrat kupil svoj prvi Canon fotoaparat(prej je imel Olympusa). Pred letošnjo poletno sezono poročnih sobot pa sva želela najini foto torbi napolniti še z nekaj novimi člani. In sicer si je Urška kupila nov fotoaparat, t.i.”full frame”, ki ga je z navdušenjem pričakovala(saj veste tistih nekaj dni, ko je na poti iz trgovine do vaših vrat je tako težko zdržati). Domen pa je v svojo foto torbo dodal nov fiksni objektiv, 50mm/1.4. Vsekakor sva oba zagovornika tega, da za dobro fotografijo ni “kriva” oprema ampak tisti, ki pritiska na sprožilec, torej fotograf. Prepričana sva, da se da z vsakim fotoaparatom narediti dobro fotografijo, če fotograf zna izkoristiti lokacijo, ujeti svetlobo in narediti dobro kompozicijo. Vsekakor pa je z dobro opremo lažje priti do rezultata in pri dogodkih, kot je poroka, ki je neponovljiv, je res dobro imeti opremo na katero se lahko zaneseš in s katero veš, da boš lahko ujel vse tiste pomembne trenutke. Včeraj sva novo opremo že preizkusila na zaročnem fotografiranju, v soboto pa sva naredila še nekaj zanimivih portretov(več pa kmalu na blogu!).
From last may we are shooting as a Canon team, since Domen bought his first Canon camera then(he shot with Olympus before). Before our summer wedding seasons we wanted to add a few new pieces to our camera bag. Urška bought a new camera, a full frame one, which she couldn’t wait to get it(you know those last few days when the camera is on it’s way from the store to your doors are a bit hard). Domen added a 50mm/1.4 to his camera bag. We both think that it’s not the camera that makes a good photograph, it’s the photographer. We are sure that you can make a good photograph with every camera, as long as the photographer knows how to use the location, capture the light and make a great composition. But for sure is easier with a good equipment and at events, such as weddings, it’s good to have the equipment that you can rely on and with which you know you’ll be able to capture all the important moments. We had a chance to try it out yesterday at an engagement session, and on saturday we did some really interesting portraits(more on blog soon!).
Imejte lep začetek tedna :)
Have a great start of the week :)

Včasih je dobro prebrati kakšen motivacijski verz ali stavek in se tako spomniti zakaj si nekaj sploh začel, kakšen je tvoj cilj in zakaj to počneš. Malce motivacije nikoli ne škodi, saj ti lahko da že en sam stavek veliko zagona za delo. Izbrala sva nekaj najinih najljubših motivacijskih rekov, ki jih lahko preberete spodaj.
From time to time it’s good to read a motivational quote or two, to remeber why you started something, what is your goal and why you are doing what are you doing. A little bit of motivation can never do any damage, because sometimes even a single line can give you new will to work. We choosed a few of our favourite quotes, which you can read below.
- Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever. It remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything. - Aaron Siskind
- Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time. - Thomas A. Edison
- I don’t believe you have to be better than everybody else. I believe you have to be better than you ever thought you could be. - Ken Venturi
- An essential aspect of creativity is not being afraid to fail. - Edwin Land
- Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. - Steve Jobs
- Determine never to be idle. No person will have occasion to complain of the want of time who never loses any. It is wonderful how much may be done if we are always doing. - Thomas Jefferson
- People are always blaming circumstances for what they are. I don’t believe in circumstances. The people who get ahead in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and if they can’t find them, make them. - George Bernard Shaw
- Be daring, be different, be impractical, be anything that will assert integrity of purpose and imaginative vision against the play-it-safers, the creatures of the commonplace, the slaves of the ordinary. - Cecil Beaton
- “Life is too short to waste any amount of time on wondering what other people think about you. In the first place, if they had better things going on in their lives, they wouldn’t have the time to sit around and talk about you. What’s important to me is not others’ opinions of me, but what’s important to me is my opinion of myself.”- C. JoyBell C.
- Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover. - Mark Twain
- Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail. - Ralph Walo Emerson
- If you don’t go after what you want, you’ll never have it. If you don’t ask, the answer is always no. If you don’t step forward, you’re always in the same place. - Nora Roberts
Zaročno fotografiranje – Zakaj?
Fotografija / Photography , Poroke / Weddings , Zaroke / Engagements
Zaročno fotografiranje pri nas še ni toliko poznano, kot v tujini, čeprav pa se vidi, da pari spremljajo tudi tuje poročne bloge. Res sva vesela, da so letos vsi najini pari izbrali zaročno fotografiranje. Seveda je lahko objava o zaročnem fotografiranju res dolga, ampak danes sva se odločila odgovoriti zgolj na vprašanje zakaj. Prepričana sva namreč, da se vas veliko sprašuje ali bi izbrali zaročno fotografiranje. Razlogov je ogromno! In to takšnih res dobrih razlogov :)
Ker večina bodočih mladoporočencev še nikoli ni pozirala fotografskemu objektivu in ker jih je veliko kar malce strah portretnega fotografiranja, je zaročno fotografiranje popolno, da preženete tremo, ki jo mogoče imate. Na zaročnem fotografiranju lahko res spoznate vašega poročnega fotografa ter njegov način dela. Pomembno je, da se z poročnim fotografom ujamete, saj bodo tako fotografije, tako zaročne kot poročne, boljše, bolj sproščene in preprosto čudovite. Prav tako lahko vidite kako izgledate na fotografijah in prepričana sva, da boste na zaročnih fotografijah izgledali odlično, če se boste le dobro sprostili in dobro ujeli z vašim poročnim fotografom. Nekje sva prebrala, da približno traja nekje od 20 do 30 minut, da se človek sprosti pred fotoaparatom in da lahko nastanejo tiste čudovite sproščene fotografije. Na poročni dan je za poročne portrete namenjeno približno 45 minut, načeloma pa še manj, sploh če nastanejo kakšne nenačrtovane zamude, kar pomeni da par, ki ne izbere zaročnega fotografiranja, kar polovico poročnega portretnega fotografiranja spoznava fotografa, njegov način dela in se poskuša sprostiti pred fotoaparatom. Če pa izberete zaročno fotografiranje pa lahko preživite celotno poročno portretno fotografiranje brez skrbi in se le prepustite objemu in poljubom svojega moža. Vsekakor pa je takšno fotografiranje super tudi za to, ker lahko fotografije izkoristite za poročna vabila ali poročne zahvale. Navsezadnje pa zakaj bi, bodoče neveste, izpustile priložnost, da pokažete in fotografirate svoj čudovit zaročni prstan?
Zaročno fotografiranje je popolno, da nekaj mesecev pred poročnim dnem, za uro in pol pozabita na vso poročno načrtovanje, se sprostita in pustita, da vajin poročni fotograf ujame tiste iskrice ljubezni v vajinih očeh, ko se pogledata, zaljubljene nasmehe in da ujame v fotografije vajine romantične poljube.
Kaj več o tem kako in kaj glede zaročnega fotografiranja pa kdaj drugič.
Imejte lep vikend :)
Engagement photography is not so know in our country as it is abroad, even though you can see that future newlyweds read foreign wedding blogs. We are really happy, because all of our 2013 couples choosed engagement session. Of course, a post about engagement photography can be very long, but today we will only focus on the why. We are quite sure that a lot of you are asking if you shoudl choose this session or why should you choose it. And there are a lot of reasons why choose an engagement photography.
Since most of future newlyweds haven’t had a chance to pose for a photographer and since a lot are a bit scared of portrait session, is the engagement session perfect to get rid of all those fears. You can really get to know your wedding photographer at an engagement session. It is really important that you get along well with your wedding photography, because then your wedding and engagement photos will be better, more relaxed and simply gorgeous. You can also see how you look on the photographs and we are pretty sure that you’ll look great. We read somewhere that it takes 20 to 30 minutes to relax and trust a photographer so that he can capture those nice relaxed photographs. On a wedding day there is around 45 minutes for wedding portraits, sometimes even less, which means that a couple, that doesn’t choose engagement session, is spending half or even more of time for shooting the portraits on their wedding day getting to know how the photographer works and how to get relaxed. If you have an engagement session you can spend all your wedding portraits withouth worries and you can only enjoy it in your husbands hugs and kisses. Of course an engagement session is also perfect, because you can use the photos for invitations or thank you notes. And why yould a future bride miss a chance to show and capture her gorgeous engagement ring?
Engagement session is perfect, so that you can a few month before your wedding day relax and forget about all the wedding planning and just let your wedding photographer capture sparks in your eyes when you look eachother, in love smiles and gorgeous romantic kisses.
More about the how’s of engagement session in a future blog post.
Have a great weekend :)
Ker Domen živi malce izven Celja ima samo nekaj kratkih minut do Svetine in Celjske koče. In ko je v celjski kotlini bilo čez zimo kar velikokrat megleno, sva se kar nekajkrat zapeljala malce višje in občudovala čudovite barve sončnih žarkov. V jeseni sva tukaj naredila celo nekaj najinih res sončnih portretov, ki jih preprosto obožujeva, saj je čas zahajanja sonca najin najljubši del dneva za fotografiranje(ampak o tem v kakšni izmed naslednjih objav). Takšni sončni trenutki, ti dajo ogromno energije in ti lahko popravijo tudi kakšen malce slabši dan, ki je posledica veliko dela in učenja za faks. Ta vikend nam pobeg malce višje ni bil potreben, saj je končno posijal sonček tudi malce nižje. In takšno vreme upava, da bo tudi v naslednjih vikendih, ko naju čaka kar nekaj zaročnih(in kmalu tudi poročnih) fotografiranj in med drugim tudi fotografiranje najinih portretov za novo spletno stran.
Lepo preživite teden :)
Since Domen lives a bit out of Celje he has just a few short minutes to the near hills. And when there was fog in the valley during the winter, we went a bit up quite a few times to admire the gorgeous colors of sun rays. In the fall we actually did a few of our sunny portraits, that we simply adore, because the sunset time in our favourite time of the day for photographing(but more on that in one of the next posts). Sunny moments like this give you much needed enegry and can also make up a not so good day, due to a lot of work and studying. This weekend we didn’t had to go to the hills, because we finally had a sunny weeked in the valley. And we really hope that the weather stays like that for the next weekends, because we are having quite a few engagements(and later also wedding) photoshoots and also a photoshooting of us for our new website.
Have a great week :)
