Belgrade, Serbia is undoubtedly one of the most vibrant cities in Eastern Europe, and it happens to be one of my personal favorites! The old town is rich in history and beauty, just waiting to be explored. One of the most stunning places in Belgrade is Kalemegdan Park, which sits atop a fortress dating back to 279 BC, offering amazing views of the Sava and Danube Rivers. The park’s sunset vistas are particularly impressive, making it a perfect spot for a romantic engagement shoot. Čarna and Nemanja decided to meet me there for their engagement session. As we wandered along the park’s winding cobblestone paths, I captured their love in photos, and the result was truly beautiful! Congratulations to a wonderful couple. Živeli!
