Destination Wedding in Dubrovnik – Tammy & Richard’s Romantic Elopement

Tammy and Richard are the kind of couple that radiates quiet strength. Calm, kind, and deeply connected, they chose Dubrovnik for their intimate destination wedding in Croatia—where every moment felt like a soft breeze on a summer day.

The morning preparations took place in the charming coastal town of Cavtat, surrounded by family and friends who traveled all the way from Ireland to celebrate with them. There was no rush, only the calm anticipation of something truly special.

Their wedding ceremony was held at Park Orsula, one of the most magical locations above Dubrovnik’s Old Town. With a panoramic view of the Adriatic Sea and the historic city below, this hidden gem feels like it was made for lovers of beauty and simplicity. Next to a small stone chapel, under the open sky, Tammy and Richard said “I do” in an emotional, heartfelt ceremony that brought tears to many eyes (mine included!).

Afterwards, we took a stroll through the old town of Dubrovnik, capturing the elegance of the ancient streets and the glow on their faces. Honestly, every photo was pure magic—not just because of the stunning scenery, but because of them. Their connection was so easy and natural that I often just stepped back and let them be… and that’s when the best moments happened.

Later that evening, they sailed back to Cavtat by boat, where an intimate dinner and dancing awaited. The laughter, the speeches, the clinking of glasses—it was the kind of evening that makes you believe in love all over again.

As a wedding photographer, these are the moments I live for. The small touches. The big emotions. The people who travel across the world not for the show, but for each other.

If you’re dreaming of a destination wedding in Dubrovnik, whether grand or intimate, know this: it’s not about the scale, it’s about the feeling. And Tammy and Richard’s wedding was full of all the right ones.

Because when love is real, it doesn’t have to shout. It simply shines.
