I'm Tomislav Marcijuš, an internationally awarded photographer based in Croatia. I was born in Osijek in 1990 and raised in Darda, Baranja, a small part of eastern Croatia. In my environment, I learned to appreciate the little things and how to turn an ordinary shot into an extraordinary one with the light I always wanted to use to portray and highlight the atmosphere of the photograph. I began experimenting with film and analog cameras through Construction and Geodetic High School and the College of Civil Engineering. I found myself in the visual arts and took a different path. What started as a hobby became a career after five years, and I launched my brand, Marcijuš Weddings (later Marcijuš Studio). As a creative person, I work with both digital and film photography. Analog photography helped me discover my unique style, which I now apply to weddings and other types of photography. My love for art has guided me toward an artistic and creative way of documenting life's special moments. Through my work, I aim to present weddings to the world uniquely, in a timeless and modern style with a touch of fashion, incorporating everything that has shaped me throughout my life.

ACCOMODATION & travel fees:
- 500 € - 700 €
I'm based in Osijek (Eastern Croatia). In most cases, I book the accommodation myself at a reasonable price and in the price range I have written, after which I inform the clients. Clients pay accommodation and travel fees with the remaining amount of the wedding package. I always travel from Osijek, and if the distance is longer than 200 km, I also arrive a day earlier for safety reasons or to avoid a problem on the road, and I travel home on the day after the wedding. The travel cost includes a journey from my city to the venue, ferries, boats, vignettes, and highway tolls. The stated price is for one to two photographers if another photographer travels with me and the client books him.
SIGNATURE WEDDING BOOK
Some of my wedding packages include a Wedding Book. The design of my book is related to the look of my website and my editing style, which includes black-and-white photos and photos with natural, soft colors and realistic skin tones. Minimalism, elegance, and a nude color palette are the main features of my products.
The wedding editorial book is available in 25 x 32 cm. Photos are printed on fine art paper and personalized 3D name prints. The editorial book has 80 pages (up to 150 photos). The design is soft-touch eco-leather in white pepper color. All printed materials are created in Fravero studio in Zagreb.
FAQ
WHAT ARE YOU SHOOTING THE MOST ON THE WEDDING DAY?
When I take photos, I am focused on the atmosphere of the day and the spontaneous moments with natural light and shadows. I like to photograph the details because they connect the parts of your wedding. My favorite part of the wedding is the ceremony and session. The ceremony is the main part because emotions come to the top, and the session is your intimate moment of the day that you can rarely repeat. The vibe of your session on a wedding day cannot be compared to a session a few days before. Try to find at least half an hour for yourself. I photograph wedding parties with a flash, sometimes without it, to achieve cinematic moments. Long exposures are also something I like to practice. Any guest at a wedding who wants a portrait photo can freely ask me, and I will always take it.
Can we see the whole private online gallery from the PREVIOUS newlyweds ?
I have a lot of content and photos on my social networks and website. Because of the GDPR, I have to respect the privacy of the couple's gallery password. Some clients don't want all the photos to be public. On my website in the "WEDDING GALLERIES" section, I have some full-day weddings that I photographed in Croatia and throughout Europe, and these are photos approved by the couples. All my images show all parts of the wedding. Details, getting ready moments, the portraits, ceremony, party, and the wedding sessions. If you want me to be your photographer, all the content I showed will be enough to make your final decision.
Can we combine offers?
All packages can only be combined with options from the "Extras" section.
CAN OTHER WEDDING PACKAGES INCLUDE SECOND PHOTOGRAPHER
If the timeline on the wedding day includes several locations, I can arrange another photographer. The price for another photographer is 400€.
CAN COUPLES EXPECT TO PHOTOGRAPH WITH FAMILY AND RELATIVES?
Of course! We always accept it if someone asks the second shooter or me to photograph them during the wedding day. If there is some kind of formal photographing, we do it, too. We don’t publish those kinds of photos on our website and social networks. We cannot know all your most influential people. If someone is not in the images, you cannot tell that it is our fault. I am not a traditional wedding photographer. I am focused on moments, and I only do portrait photos if you want to. I do not invite every guest to be photographed with you.
HOW DO WE BOOK YOU?
If you checked most of my photos and you like my work, it is necessary to fill out the whole form on my website marcijus-studio.com. After filling in all fields, I will send you my offer. If you choose me, I will send a contract necessary to be signed by the client. The deadline for advance payment is seven days after signing the contract. To successfully book your date, you are required to pay 30% of the total amount of the chosen package. Two payment options are bank transfer to my account, written on the contract, or via PayPal.
DO YOUR OFFERS INCLUDE AN EXTRA DAY FOR A WEDDING SESSION?
Each wedding package includes an extra day for the session if the couple does not have the opportunity to do their wedding session on the wedding day. In most cases, it will be a day or two after the wedding, but some couples decide for a few days before. So it will be like a small pre-wedding session.
HOW MUCH TIME DO WE HAVE FOR A DECISION?
After I send you an offer and you don’t have any questions, the deadline for making a decision is ten days. If I don’t hear anything from you in that period, I think the date is free, and you can’t book me anymore. So please, ask everything you want to know or send me the negative answer, everything is better than no answer from you. There is a possibility that more couples ask for the same date. In that case, the first couple who paid the advance booked the date. This info is essential for my organization and the accuracy in communication with other clients, which are also interesting.
Can we get RAW photos?
On the wedding day, I made approx. 3000 -5000 RAW photographs. After the wedding, I make a selection from all of these photographs. I never deliver RAW photos! A number of the edited images we provide to couples depend on the package they choose.
WHEN CAN WE EXPECT TO SEE OUR PHOTOS AND ALBUMS?
Every wedding I want to devote the maximum. I'm editing every photo, and I don't want to leave something unfinished. Due to wedding season workload and travel arrangements, all printed materials, wedding books, and prints included in the collection for weddings covered from May through October will be delivered no sooner than November of the same year or at the beginning of next year! Photographs delivery is up to 45 business days, and wedding book delivery is up to 8-12 weeks, sometimes more.
Do you have small wedding books?
Of course. A small wedding book size is 20x 15 cm and has 40 pages (approximately 70 photos). You can choose it with any wedding package. The price of a small wedding book is 100€
DO YOU TRAVEL FOR A DESTINATION WEDDING?
Absolutely! I'm a travel enthusiast and love it a lot! For me, it will be just perfect for doing wedding photography abroad. I'm available wherever you want. For me, there are no boundaries. Feel free to invite me anywhere! I'm excited about the new adventures!
WE ARE NOT COMFORTABLE IN FRONT OF A CAMERA…
Today, there is a lot of wedding photographers. I understand that it is hard to choose photographers who are ideal for you. Also, I know that people just don’t like to photograph themselves. With me, you will not have those problems. I made everything through spontaneity and laughter, and with that, everything is easy and possible. For a start, I make a few photos to see how everything will work, and no one has ever had a problem with that. In most cases, the newlyweds begin to give their suggestions and ideas what we also appreciate.
WHAT DOES AN ONLINE GALLERY?
As time flies, technology is more and more developing, so I'm working according to that. I don't deliver photographs on the USB stick because you can download all photos from the gallery on your own devices as many times as you want. That is a private gallery that everyone can't see, just couples and me. The newlyweds get a password for the gallery to check photographs, like them, download, or share them away. If you give the password to others, they can do it, too. The online gallery is not visible on my website.
How long has the online gallery been active?
After I send you the gallery with the password, it is active for three months, and after that, the gallery is deleted. That’s enough time for a couple to share a link with guests and download all the photos on several devices.
HOW DO YOU EDIT YOUR PHOTOS, AND WHAT IS THE RATIO OF COLOR PHOTOS AND BW PHOTOS?
I select my photos in the Photo Mechanic application and then edit the images in the Lightroom app with my custom preset. The final gallery sent to clients is more with color photos, and the ratio of color photos to BW photos is 65:35
WHAT DO YOU USE FROM THE PHOTO EQUIPMENT ON THE FULL WEDDING DAY?
I use two Nikon Z6 mirrorless bodies and one Nikon D610 DSLR as a backup body. For lenses, I use Sigma's Art series, 24mm, 35mm, and 50mm, with apertures 1.4. The flashes I use during the wedding party are Nikon SB700 and Godox V1N.
CAN WE MEET YOU BEFORE WE BOOK?
Absolutely! If you are near our town, I prefer to meet you and go for a coffee or a drink. I love to meet our couples before the wedding, that is how to find out more about you and your big day. Every detail is essential to make your wedding photographs just perfect. If you are not near me, there are always some options. If we already have some wedding or trip to your town or near, I can arrange to come one or two days before to meet with you. Also, you can find me on Skype. My Skype name is Marcijuš Weddings. I'm also available on WhatsApp, and my number is +385996554994
