We are a twin sisters wedding photo video team in Croatia, capturing timeless and heartfelt wedding stories. Few people know that I have a twin sister. At one point, she became my assistant. I preferred traveling to weddings together rather than alone. Extra hands always make a difference. Our goal as twin sisters wedding photo video team in Croatia is to tell stories that feel timeles. Over time, I suggested she train as a videographer, because I believed that offering a full package (photo + video) would take our work to another level.
Through photography, I learned that the person you work with must click — you need to understand each other nonverbally and be in sync in unexpected moments. And that’s why I was confident she would be amazing.
She enrolled at Algebra Bernays University (https://algebra.hr) completed an intensive videography course. She literally blossomed. Day by day, she progressed, showing creativity, a sense for the frame, and storytelling instincts — everything needed for a unique video.
Two twin sisters — one handling photography, the other video. Always positive, always ready to dive into the action and become part of your wedding story.
That’s our signature. It can’t just be taught. Either you feel people, or you don’t. For us, it comes naturally.
On a workshop long ago, I met an extraordinary videographer from Slovenia — going by Fragments Collection (https://fragmentscollection.com/). From our first meeting I admired her work. When my sister started at Algebra, I told her:
“Learn the fundamentals there, but your true magic you’ll absorb from her.”
So I connected them — and since then, she has been learning and growing under her guidance. She became a true mentor, helping my sister develop her skills in videography, from framing and motion to editing. Watching her progress has been amazing. I’m gradually immersing myself in the world of video too, as I’ve always been fascinated by the art of storytelling through film.
Many don’t understand how much harder it is to craft a short film of 5–10 minutes instead od 2h.
In such a brief span you must tell a story — with meaning, emotion, rhythm. So I’d advise couples to consider that type of video.
Though Croatian are traditional, sometimes giving space to something different is worth it. Because a 10–20 minute film is much easier to watch than one lasting 2h.
As twin sisters wedding photo video team in Croatia, we’re here to create something authentic and lasting.

As for the photo books — I remain loyal to the Fravero team (https://fravero-prophoto.com/). Always professional, dependable, and of superb quality. As long as they’re on the market, our collaboration continues without question.
I also want to share a bit about my personal journey. I completed the Adventure Instead Academy (https://adventureinstead.com/academy/) to take my photography skills to the next level. Maddie Mae proved to be an amazing mentor, always generous with her knowledge and guidance.
Becoming a part of this community has been such a rewarding experience. I’m proud to belong to our little, yet incredibly supportive family of photographers — a group that constantly learns, grows, and helps each other.
The education I received with Maddie opened new horizons for me, inspiring me to explore fresh ideas and techniques, which I now happily apply in my work.
It’s more than just learning; it’s about connecting, sharing, and finding joy in creativity together.
