In the world of wedding photography, where capturing fleeting moments is an art form, Dijana Čebulc stands out with her blend of elegance and authenticity. With over 15 years of experience and a background rooted in music, Dijana’s transition into photography became a fulfilling journey that now defines her life’s passion. Together with her husband, Tom, who specializes in videography, she created DT Studio, where they focus on preserving love stories from around the globe.
Though Dijana’s journey into photography wasn’t conventional, her deep appreciation for the arts gave her a unique perspective. After graduating from the music academy and working as a ballet pianist, DT Studio realized that her other passion, photography, was calling to her. This turning point came after she met Tom, her now-husband.
"Through him, my other passion, photography, started to receive more attention and dedication. We embarked on this journey together and are now fully dedicated to photographing and filming weddings," Dijana shares. This partnership of shared creativity forms the foundation of DT Studio, where the couple works side by side to immortalize beautiful moments.
With more than 15 years behind the camera, DT Studio has seen trends come and go. Yet, her approach to photography remains constant—focused on creating images that will withstand the test of time. She describes her style as "elegant and timeless with a touch of uniqueness, leaning towards lighter tones and natural colors."
This attention to subtlety and authenticity is what makes Dijana’s work stand out. She avoids trends unless they resonate with her and her clients, focusing instead on timeless beauty. “I strive to capture subjects in their genuine moments, encouraging them to be authentic and relaxed in front of the camera,” she explains.
Dijana’s commitment to perfection extends beyond the wedding day. Post-processing is an integral part of her process, where she meticulously hand-edits each image. This is a labor of love, and she ensures that every detail is refined to match her vision. "I carefully adjust colors and all other parameters to perfectly align with my vision," Dijana notes. Her goal is to ensure each collection of images tells a cohesive story, allowing couples to relive their wedding day with every photograph.
Her attention to detail doesn’t end with the lightest of touch-ups. While some images may need minimal editing, others require more intensive retouching, but DT Studio ensures that every photograph looks natural and authentic.
For Dijana, the most rewarding part of her work is the connection she makes with her clients. "I take great joy in feeling the emotions my clients experience and preserving them in photographs," she says. This connection allows her to create images that are personal, heartfelt, and full of life. She takes special pride in capturing the unique beauty of every bride, showcasing the joy, love, and individuality of each couple.
Whether it’s the romantic love between newlyweds, the strong bonds of family, or the laughter of friends, Dijana’s ability to capture these moments is what defines her photography.
Understanding her clients' desires is a top priority for DT Studio. She explains, "I always ask my clients to send me some of their favorite images of themselves, as well as some wedding photos that inspired them." This helps her grasp the couple’s vision, allowing her to tailor her work to their specific style and preferences.
DT Studio also emphasizes flexibility when working with clients. "Yes, of course," she says when asked about creating custom packages for couples. Whether it’s offering specific coverage options or incorporating videography, Dijana’s approach ensures every couple gets exactly what they need.
DT Studio is no stranger to the world of destination weddings. DT Studio and Tom have had the privilege of traveling to some of the most breathtaking locations to capture love stories. From the bustling streets of New York to the tranquil beauty of Lake Como, every destination offers a new canvas for their art.
When asked about her favorite location, Dijana’s answer is clear: "However, our ultimate favorite is the one-of-a-kind city of Dubrovnik!" The charm, history, and unique atmosphere of Dubrovnik make it the perfect backdrop for capturing timeless love stories.
DT Studio has one key piece of advice for couples preparing for their wedding day: relax and enjoy the moment. "The best photographs are taken when people are relaxed because that’s when their uniqueness and beauty truly shine," she advises. By letting go of any stress and simply savoring the experience, couples allow DT Studio to capture their most genuine and beautiful selves.
With her rich experience, artistic background, and passion for capturing the essence of every wedding, Dijana Čebulc continues to create timeless images that speak to the heart. Her commitment to authenticity, elegance, and emotional storytelling defines DT Studio, setting it apart as a premier wedding photography and videography team.
