Mogoșoaia, Ilfov County
Wedding Photography in Mogoșoaia
The Brâncoveanu palace gives you one of the most elegant portrait sessions near Bucharest: the arches of the loggia, carved stone balustrades and a lake shore lined with old trees. The complex charges an access fee for professional photography and has fixed visiting hours, so we book your slot ahead and plan portraits for the quieter moments — usually late afternoon on weekdays or just before closing at weekends.
Mogoșoaia is only 15–20 minutes from north-west Bucharest via Bucureștii Noi, which makes it easy to fit a portrait session between a church in the city and a venue elsewhere in Ilfov. In May the wisteria on the façade is spectacular; in October the reflections in the lake are at their best.
Mogoșoaia is home to one of the most photographed buildings near Bucharest: the Brâncoveanu palace, built in 1702, with its loggias, carved stone and gardens running down to the lake. Just 15–20 minutes from the north-west of the city, it is a favourite for ceremonies, wedding portraits and engagement sessions.
The palace looks completely different with each season — wisteria and fresh green in May, warm stone and long shadows in summer, golden trees reflected in the lake in October. The gardens can be busy on weekend afternoons, so we time portraits for quieter moments and know the corners where you can still have the place to yourselves.
Photography inside the complex may require an access fee, which we arrange in advance. No travel fee applies.
Your wedding passes in a blur. Our job is to slow it down: the nervous laugh before the civil ceremony, your grandmother's face in church, the chaos of the dance floor at 2am in a ballroom in Ilfov.
We photograph weddings in Bucharest and the surrounding area in a documentary style with an editorial eye. Minimal posing, lots of real moments, and a handful of beautifully lit portraits — in the Old Town, in Herăstrău Park or by the lake at Snagov — when the light is at its best.
Every wedding includes a planning call, a timeline built around the best light and realistic Bucharest traffic, two cards in every camera and a private online gallery to share with your guests.

Wedding Photography in Mogoșoaia: FAQ
Do we need a permit to shoot at Mogoșoaia Palace?
For wedding photography and filming, the complex usually charges an access fee. We check the current rules and arrange it before your date.
When is Mogoșoaia least crowded?
Weekday mornings and the last hour before closing. On Saturdays we plan a short, efficient portrait session around the busiest times.
How many photos will we receive?
Typically 60–80 edited photos per hour of coverage — roughly 700+ for a full day with two photographers.
Can you cover preparations in two different parts of Bucharest?
Yes. With two photographers we split up for the bride’s and groom’s preparations — even if one is in Sector 1 and the other in Voluntari — and meet again at the church or venue.
