There are some questions we get asked time and time again and we just can’t give answers to them. We can’t decide on the favourite people we’ve shot or the favourite city we’ve shot at or our favourite designer, floral artist, band… We’re just really luck to have worked with so many fantastic people at amazing places.
We can, however, decide on our favourite venue. It’s undoubtedly Agroturizam Paladnjaki, no question about it.
We have only had a single wedding there, but it has been more than enough for us to completely fall in love with the place.
Why do we love it so much?
For starters – Agroturizam Paladnjaki is located in the heart of Istria, aka “Terra Magica”.
We have been lucky enough to shoot lots of wedding in Istria, and they have all been amazing.
When you get to Agroturizam Paladnjaki you’re surrounded by incredible nature all around, in the midst of which you find this old traditional Istrian stone house and – for good measure – an infinity pool.
So the nature is amazing, the stone-wall restaurant is fascinating, but let’s not fool ourselves. We love it so much mainly for one thing and one thing only – by far the best food we’ve ever had at a wedding.
The secret to food at Agroturizam Paladnjaki is that everything is grown locally. Anything you eat has been in the garden just a couple of huors before it arrives to your table, and if you take a sneak peek in their kitchen (which of course we did) you’ll typically see a chef making fresh gnocchi from scratch.
Sandra & Domagoj who we’ve photographed there were also amazing people and we tried to do our best, but at a certain point around 2 AM we just couldn’t resist ourselves. We went to their garden and with the help of a smartphone-flashlight we started to take some of the cherries. Directly from the trees, and of course they were the best we’ve ever had.
We’re not being payed or endorsed in any way by Agroturizam Paladnjaki to write this, but we hope that this post makes up for a kilogram or so of the cherries we’ve taken from them. 🙂
