Born in Croatia and raised under the bright Australian sky, Mitch & Tijana’s journey didn’t begin in childhood with a camera in hand. It began, unexpectedly, during university—when one elective changed everything.
“I fell in love with the craft, left my original course, and returned the following year as a photography major.”
What started as curiosity quickly blossomed into a career. The early days were shaped by the raw intensity of photojournalism, followed by years in the high-paced world of fashion and commercial photography. But it wasn’t until Mitch and Tijana met—two creative sparks that ignited a shared vision—that they truly stepped into the world of weddings.
“We've now been capturing love stories across Australia and Europe for almost eight years.”
Describing their style as “refined yet emotive,” Mitch & Tijana don’t merely document weddings—they tell stories with elegance and intention. Drawing from their background in fashion, their compositions are beautifully balanced, effortlessly editorial, and deeply personal.
“We focus on capturing honest moments with an editorial eye, creating timeless imagery that feels both effortless and artfully composed.”
What makes their imagery stand out is the harmony between instinct and precision. Whether it’s the glint of sunlight on a veil or the glance exchanged between soulmates, they know exactly when to press the shutter.
With a thoughtful mix of digital and film, Mitch & Tijana construct a layered narrative that feels as vivid as memory itself.
“We work with both digital and film formats to create a rich, layered story of the day.”
They shoot digitally with two Canon R5s and prime lenses, ensuring crisp, true-to-life detail. But it’s the nostalgic whisper of their Contax G2 and Pentax 645n that bring depth, soul, and texture into their galleries. Film moments are rarely touched—just scanned and allowed to speak for themselves.
“Our film images are kept as true to their original beauty as possible.”
Photography isn’t a side hustle. It’s not a skill. It’s the heartbeat of Mitch & Tijana’s creative life.
“Honestly, we can’t imagine doing anything else. Photography is more than a career—it’s the core of our creative drive.”
This passion extends into how they work with couples. Before the shutter ever clicks, they invest in getting to know them—their story, their priorities, their style. Every vision board, every Pinterest reference, becomes a conversation in visual language.
“We love seeing vision boards... it helps us adjust our focus and tailor our approach accordingly.”
While they’re admittedly workaholics, quality is always prioritized over quantity. Mitch & Tijana aim for around 30 weddings annually, balancing creativity with energy so every project receives their full attention.
Typical coverage ranges from 8 to 12 hours, with 10 hours being the sweet spot. Packages begin at $8800 for photography only—but each collection is fully customizable to reflect the unique flow of every wedding day.
“All of our packages are thoughtfully tailored to each couple.”
When asked what advice they’d give their younger selves, they don’t hesitate.
“We were completely focused on the creative side and didn’t pay enough attention to the business aspect.”
They now urge emerging photographers to invest in business and marketing early. Learning how to navigate relationships, pricing, and branding is just as critical as mastering light and composition.
Destination weddings are not just a service—they’re a passion. With deep roots in Croatia and a love for Europe’s sun-drenched elegance, Mitch & Tijana gravitate toward weddings in Italy and Greece.
“As Croatian citizens, we cherish returning home... Italy and Greece hold a special place in our hearts for their timeless charm.”
Their greatest tip for couples? Relax. Let go. Be present.
“Sometimes having a couple of cheeky drinks beforehand does the trick.”
From the fast-paced fashion world to the intimate beauty of weddings, Mitch & Tijana’s evolution has always been guided by a love for real emotion and beautiful form. Whether shooting on digital or film, in the mountains of Greece or along Australia’s coast, they continue to capture moments that are as genuine as they are graceful.
