Married June 14th, 2008
" I had a dream wedding, and everything contributed to this, from the preparations to the cake cutting, from the small details to the important ones. Without any doubt, I keep the most beautiful memories in my heart, but also...more " in our wonderful wedding photographs taken by the great man and artist photographer, Aurel Virlan. As I am passionate about photography, I was very demanding with this aspect of my wedding and I carefully chose our photographer. Aurel proved to be a very skillful photojournalist, who knows how to tell the genuine story of a wedding in images, like no other… with passion, skill and humor. I was really inspired to trust this talented photographer who also became my friend. A couple of months after the wedding, at beginning of the winter, I asked him to arrange a “Trash the Dress” photo session, at a stud farm, somewhere in the mountains. We shot during the first snow! Again, I was rewarded with photographs that I couldn’t imagine before the photo session. AAFR (Artist Photographers' Association of Romania) has recently organized the “Photographer of the Year” contest and one of the categories was “Wedding Photography”. I was proud that Aurel was awarded the First Place at this category for one of the photographs taken at my wedding! He is for sure the photographer I would recommend to everybody who would ask for my advice, knowing that his work can make a better stand than my words could ever do!" show less
