We invite you to linger in summer feelings with a sunny style photoshoot in Greece and an interview with the creative couple – director Laura Groza and drummer Rūdolfs Dankfelds .

We also turn our attention to the stage where romantic relationships transform into marriage, looking at the proposal as a symbolic gesture in the development of a relationship.

Wedding stories

Italian vibes continue to be a relevant wedding theme and, as confirmed by couples' experiences, they can be enjoyed both during three-day wedding in Italy and sunny wedding in Tuscany, or conjured right here in Latvia.
