Sofia Grand at the Marinela Hotel is one of those halls that tells you as soon as you enter: "There will be a wedding here, no joke." High ceilings, a spacious dance floor and light that directly invites you to dance until the morning. As a wedding photographer in Sofia, it is in this hall that I often see how a day turns into a big family celebration.
The ballroom is filled with hundreds of guests who have taken their places around the beautifully decorated tables awaiting the solemn appearance of the newlyweds Sanya and Radoslav.
The exciting moment before the start of the first wedding dance, in which the groom Radoslav steps towards his beautiful bride Sanya on the dance floor at their lavish celebration.
The story of the wedding day begins long before the restaurant doors – with the bride’sdetails the groom’s, the best men. Then come the official moments – the civil marriage in the ceremony hall and the church marriage with the crowns, candles and those looks that say more than the vows. All these parts of the day have their own separate galleries, and in the gallery of the wedding celebration in the Sofia Grand hall I gather in one place the culmination – the evening.
A beautiful moment from the first dance, in which the newlyweds perform an elegant figure, revealing the beauty of the dance and the elegant back of the bridal dress.
Here I capture the first family dance, the traditional cake for the newlyweds, its breaking, the carrying of the cake, the tossing of the bouquet and the games that move even the most modest guests. In the photos you will also see portraits of guests and family, photos from the wedding photo shoot in the hall, as well as those “between the frames” moments – a hug with the parents, a secret joke between the bridesmaids, a tear from the grandfather.
The dancers from Nikolay Slaveev's folklore ensemble demonstrate mastery and synchronicity with an impressive folk dance at Sanya and Radoslav's wedding celebration.
Sofia Grand is an ideal choice for weddings with many guests – up to about 400 people – where there should be room for a large stage, an orchestra, and a wide dance floor. If you are planning your wedding at the Marinela Hotel and are looking for a wedding photographerto tell the story of the day from the civil ceremony to the last dance in the restaurant, check out the Sofia Grand album and write to me for an inquiry.
A creative and fun moment in which the bride Sanya and her friends pose for a photo with roses in their mouths, creating a cheerful memory from the wedding day.
The scale of the celebration, reflected in the full splendor of one of the largest ballrooms. Impressive wedding photography that shows the grand nature of the event.
During his speech, the best man addresses his friend, the groom Radoslav, with warm and funny words, who listens to him with a big smile at the wedding table.
