"A Timeless Destination Wedding on Hvar: Sv. Marak, the Dominican Monastery"

The island of Hvar holds a special place in my heart—a place of childhood memories filled with sailing, freediving, and exploring the stunning underwater beauty of its southern coast. Known as one of Croatia’s most romantic destinations, Hvar combines historic charm with breathtaking natural landscapes, making it the ideal location for a destination wedding.

One of the island’s most unique venues is Sv. Marak, the former church of the Dominican Monastery in Hvar Town. This extraordinary location is an endless source of inspiration, perfect for couples searching for an intimate and unforgettable wedding experience. While no longer active for Catholic services, its ancient doors open into a surreal, almost otherworldly setting, where history, art, and nature converge.

The ceremony took place in the monastery’s century-old park, surrounded by lush greenery and centuries of history. The intimacy of the day was magnified by the presence of only the closest friends, creating a deeply personal and heartfelt celebration. The stone-clad architecture, combined with the tranquility of the Adriatic backdrop, made every moment feel timeless and magical—perfect for a Hvar island wedding.

For couples dreaming of a destination wedding on Hvar, locations like Sv. Marak offer a unique blend of history, charm, and natural beauty. Whether it’s an intimate ceremony or a celebration infused with romance and artistry, Hvar provides the perfect setting to say "I do."

As a destination wedding photographer in Croatia, I specialize in capturing the soul of these extraordinary moments—whether it’s the ancient beauty of Hvar Town, the charm of Sv. Marak, or the sparkling Adriatic coastline.
