Michael & Vlado at Cloister Castle
Cloister Castle provided the perfect mix of history and romance for Michael and Vlado’s shoot. With its grand architecture, intricate details, and timeless charm, every corner of the castle offered a stunning backdrop. From rich wood-paneled rooms to towering stone walls, the setting created an atmosphere both intimate and dramatic, allowing their connection to shine through in every shot.
The library was the perfect setting to start. Surrounded by rows of books and dark wood, Michael and Vlado’s looks stood out against the cozy, moody vibe. The natural light pouring in made everything feel intimate and timeless, like a scene from an old movie.
Next, we moved to a part of the castle that felt like a hidden cathedral. The high ceilings and stained-glass windows added so much drama to the shots, with colorful light spilling onto the stone floors. The whole space had an almost sacred feel, making for some truly striking portraits.
We wrapped up the shoot on the terrace, where the towering peaks of the castle framed the sky. The open space and grand architecture made the perfect contrast to their relaxed energy. With the wind adding some movement, the photos took on an effortlessly cool, editorial vibe.
