Hotel Moskva, Belgrade, Serbia

Hotel Moskva's lobby, corridors, wall paintings, and rooms smell the history. We used these unique backgrounds of the hotel for a photo session after preparations.

We started shooting wedding photos at the hotel in the morning. The Hotel Moskva is where the preparations took place. The hotel was built in 1908 as the most important investment of Russians in Belgrade and it is under legal protection since 1968. It is one of the symbols of the city.

When my beloved friend Ozlem called me and told me she was getting married in Belgrade and wanted me to shoot their wedding photos, I said “Yes” without any hesitation. I have never visited Belgrade before and shot the Serbia Belgrade wedding photos of dear Ozlem and Ilkan, the wonderful man I would know later.

We met with Ozlem and Ilkan a few days before and did some sightseeing in the city and reviewed the next day’s schedule. Ilkan is a full-blooded motorcycle fancier and safe riding instructor. Now hold on to your hat: Ilkan and Ozlem traveled from İstanbul to Belgrade on a motorcycle! They covered a two-way distance of 2000 kilometers. Their wedding also reflected this spirit.
