Patrick Hess | Destination Wedding Photographer & Filmmaker

A beautiful summer wedding on the stunning island of Vis, Croatia. 🇭🇷
The story of Chelsea & Jacob.

Perched high above the Adriatic Sea, Fort George is one of those places that feels almost unreal — a historic 19th-century fortress surrounded by pine trees, endless sea views, and the kind of secluded atmosphere that makes you forget the rest of the world exists.

For Chelsea & Jacob, this incredible setting became the backdrop for an unforgettable wedding day filled with love, laughter, happy tears, and unforgettable moments.

I had the pleasure of capturing their wedding film alongside photographer Anni Style. While Anni captured the still images, I was there to preserve the atmosphere, emotions, movement, and all those little in-between moments on film.

And honestly… what a place to get married.

Beautiful weather.
A breathtaking view over the Adriatic.
A hidden fortress on top of the island.
And two people celebrating their love surrounded by the people closest to them.

Vis and Fort George made the perfect setting for a truly cinematic destination wedding.

Thank you, Chelsea & Jacob, for letting me be part of your incredible day. 🤍
