Gabriela & Martin’s story began as a friendship nurtured during their university days, bonding over shared interests and deep conversations. Over time, their connection grew into a lifetime of commitment. The couple envisioned an opulent yet classic affair steeped in the timeless allure of the Czech Republic’s autumn landscapes. The talented photographer Vitalie Varvarynets captured their refined love story amid the breathtaking seasonal charm. He celebrated the classic elegance, vintage flair, and cinematic romance of bygone times.
The couple’s choice of a classic wedding theme, rich in vintage undertones, resonated with the elegant charm of the stunning Chateau Mcely, nestled in the heart of picturesque Czech surroundings near Prague.
This sophisticated style, reminiscent of the Old Money aesthetic, was partly inspired by the films and literature of the 1980s and 1990s. The lovebirds were transported back in time as they immersed themselves in the romantic atmosphere reminiscent of their favorite classic love stories. Vitalie and his team of professionals collaborated to craft the vision.
Gabriela’s ethereal presence added a touch of chic fleur to the entire ambiance. Her silk, flowing dress, adorned with an open decal and featuring an intriguing twist at the waist, and the airy sleeves added a romantic essence reminiscent of a character from a classic love novel.
The bride’s hair, styled in a low bun, complemented the classic silhouette of her dress. A brown smokey eye added allure, while dewy nude lips maintained a soft and romantic aesthetic. Pearl jewelry completed her charming vintage look.
One of the most touching and romantic moments of the day was when Gabriela took a quiet moment to write a heartfelt letter to Martin. Her words captured the essence of their journey together, weaving a narrative of love and unwavering devotion.
The highlight of Gabriela and Martin’s wedding day was the romantic ride in a vintage Tiffany-colored Jaguar car. The sleek lines and iconic design of this classic car added a nostalgic touch, perfectly complementing the atmosphere the couple envisioned. Photographer Vitalie Varvarynets beautifully captured their joy and excitement, creating romantic portraits worthy of the Golden Age of Hollywood movies. These photographs infused their wedding day memories with glamour and elegance.

With cinematic flair, Vitalie captured every moment of their transformation into symbols of style and sophistication.
They set up a charming champagne tower to elevate the celebration, sparkling with anticipation for the evening ahead. With a dramatic pop, they opened a bottle of champagne, filling the air with the fizzy excitement of celebration. The bubbly flowed as they toasted to their love and happiness, clinking glasses punctuating their laughter and shared moments.
The evening, reserved solely for the newlyweds, was truly memorable.

The joy of collaboration and the shared anticipation of savoring the finished product added to the moment’s magic.
As they indulged in slices of their masterpiece, surrounded by the soft glow of candlelight, they savored each bite while relishing in the simple pleasure of each other’s company. With no distractions or obligations, they immersed themselves in heartfelt conversations.
