Capturing the Moment: A Surprise Proposal on Vis Island, Croatia, Through the Eyes of a Destination Wedding Photographer

Croatia / Dalmatia / Split / Vis Island / Kut Village /Vis Port / Fort George

I’ve had the privilege of capturing love stories across Europe, but there’s something truly special about photographing a proposal on the breathtaking Vis Island in Croatia. This time, I had the honor of documenting Brian and Katie’s secret proposal—a beautiful surprise meticulously planned amidst the stunning landscapes of the Dalmatian coast.

Brian and I coordinated every detail to ensure that this day would be unforgettable. We started in the charming village of Kut, where Brian got down on one knee and asked Katie to spend forever with him. Her joy was palpable as she said “Yes!” against the backdrop of the historic stone buildings and shimmering Adriatic Sea.

After the proposal, we embarked on a romantic journey through the picturesque streets of Vis. We strolled toward the iconic Vis port, capturing candid moments that reflected their excitement and love. The cobbled paths, vibrant Mediterranean flora, and ancient architecture provided the perfect setting for a series of heartfelt engagement photos.

Next, we took a taxi to the legendary Fort George. This 19th-century fortress, perched atop a hill with panoramic views of the island and the sea, offered a dramatic yet serene location for the final set of images. The sunset casting a golden glow over the couple, the historic walls of the fort, and the breathtaking view of the Adriatic made for a truly magical end to our day.

Working in Croatia is always an incredible experience, and I am constantly in awe of the beauty and romance that the Dalmatian coast has to offer. Whether it’s a secret proposal like Brian and Katie’s or a destination wedding, I love capturing these timeless moments against the stunning backdrops of Vis, Split, and beyond.

If you’re considering a proposal, engagement, or wedding in Croatia, I would be honored to document your love story. There’s no place quite like the Dalmatian coast for celebrating love, and I’m excited to continue creating beautiful memories for couples from all over the world.
