https://padlet.com/casianakatana/94pl4ju5enndrecs My name is Casiana and I like shooting the most important events from people's life. Photography is my hobby since I was 12 and with this Padlet I want the world to see my work, so I started a series "A story to tell". en-us 2022-10-18 10:25:28 UTC 2023-02-02 21:39:24 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f4f8.png casianakatana https://padlet.com/casianakatana/94pl4ju5enndrecs/wish/2344898003 I will start this series with a wedding session. This was my favourite photo from the photoshoot. In this picture you can see the groom and bride's love trough all the guest's eyes. The location is simple, where the two of them feel free, safe. There are red flowers that symbolize a fresh start, an early love that it's going to last forever. In the back, on the hill, there is a church that symbolize the strong connection they have in front of God. Even if the photo is taken in autumn, their love is like an early spring flower, that is going to pass through all seasons. The sun will warm them in good and bad, in sickness and health. In life, a lot of people will come and go, as captured in this photo, but they will always be there for each other. 
I want to end this first post of my series with a quotation from the bride's vows "Together, we will face all that life brings our way and I will always be there to guide you"]]> 2022-10-18 11:03:16 UTC https://padlet.com/casianakatana/94pl4ju5enndrecs/wish/2344898003 casianakatana https://padlet.com/casianakatana/94pl4ju5enndrecs/wish/2371017372 This week is about emotions. I am continuing the wedding series with a beautiful bride and her grandmother. She is getting ready for her big day, while her grandma is watching, with tears in her eyes. I wanted to caption the life and the expectation from it through different pairs of eyes. The bride is nervous about the wedding, her bridesmaids are happy for her and they are there for her no matter what...and her grandmother, the woman who was there since she was little, can see her in a beautiful white gown, happy, with the love of her life. This photo represents happiness, love, family. The old lady standing outside the door, represents the the irreversible passage of time. She went through all these events and now she is enjoying the happiness of her grandchild. The young ladies are happy and ready to start their adult life, knowing that they will soon wear a similar dress. 
I want to end this post with the words that grandma told her granddaughter "I want you to live your life more than I did. I want you to enjoy every second and every moment, good or bad, because this is life, and it is irreversible. So live it, love it, enjoy it."]]> 2022-11-05 12:21:44 UTC https://padlet.com/casianakatana/94pl4ju5enndrecs/wish/2371017372 casianakatana https://padlet.com/casianakatana/94pl4ju5enndrecs/wish/2447418126 Today, i am going to talk about young love. Here is a photograph from my best friend's civil ceremony. In this photo, I tried to capture the first emotions after they said YES. The fact that they love each other so much and the connection between them is so strong, brought them to the aisle, where they decided to start the life together. I took the photo on the crosswalk as a symbol: they left their life as single people, to begin a new one, their couple life. They are young, nervous, excited and ready to fight with the world. The fact that they decided to start this life from a young age, confirms that their love is stronger than everything else. I enjoyed our time together and i can say that they are ready...
I want to end this post with the bride's vows "No matter what, No matter where, I will always be there"]]> 2023-01-17 19:45:15 UTC https://padlet.com/casianakatana/94pl4ju5enndrecs/wish/2447418126 casianakatana https://padlet.com/casianakatana/94pl4ju5enndrecs/wish/2447432185 I am continuing this series with an emotional photo. This picture represents the bride and groom in the church. The ceremony is about to end, this is the part when the priest is taking their crowns off of their heads. The first one is the groom, a symbol of strong and power. The bride is right behind him, watching with tears in her eyes. This is the moment when they acknowledge the fact that their love is now, recognized in front of God. They are both happy and ready to have each other's back. They know that in the future things can take turns, but together, they will manage to face everything. 
In the back, you can see the bride's mom, that is happy for her daughter and her son in law for taking this step. All the guests were there for them. As you can see, the church is full, because they knew how important this event is for the bride and groom.
I wanted so bad to put in this series a church photo, because I want people to see that part of marriage, where God is part of it. 
I want to end this post with the words of the groom "I don't want this wedding to be about money and party...I want this wedding to be about my wife and me starting our life in front of God" ]]> 2023-01-17 19:56:00 UTC https://padlet.com/casianakatana/94pl4ju5enndrecs/wish/2447432185 casianakatana https://padlet.com/casianakatana/94pl4ju5enndrecs/wish/2447476619 This story is about this sweet couple from Ibiza that saw my work and wanted so bad to collaborate with me. I was so happy when I found out because Ibiza is a beautiful isle and I knew that the wedding day will be special. 
This is from their after wedding session. They took me on this beautiful cliff, called Es Vedra. It is special for them, because this is the place where they had their first date. For me, was an amazing opportunity to capture a cool photograph, but for them was an emotional session, full of memories and love. I was surprised when they asked if I can be their photographer, but they said that they met me on another wedding, in Romania, where they saw my work. 
The wedding day was emotional for them but they were too stressed to enjoy themselves. But the after photoshoot was a delight for them. I told them to dance, to laugh, to enjoy their time there. The pictures turned out amazing and they are so happy.
I want to end this special session with something that the father of the bride told me "When they told me they want a romanian photographer I said that this is impossible and very expensive...but now I see how happy they are after the photoshoot. I don't know what you did or said, but thank you!"]]> 2023-01-17 20:36:21 UTC https://padlet.com/casianakatana/94pl4ju5enndrecs/wish/2447476619 casianakatana https://padlet.com/casianakatana/94pl4ju5enndrecs/wish/2447487873 This post is about Anda and Bibi...I have never met this type of connection and I definitely enjoyed to capture they love through my lens. This was taken on their wedding day. The wedding was outside, near this beautiful field of lavander. They were so stressed that we didn't manage to take some pictures, because the day was so busy, so I "borrowed" them from the guests. 
I wanted to capture his love for her. She's standing on a chair, with the love of her life behind. Him holding his hand on her shoulder represents the fact that he has her back no matter what, and he will always be there. The idea of her holding his hand represents the fact that she trusts him and she is in peace. 
I want to end this post with the words that the groom said in the exact moment when I took this photo "Anda, I love you and I thank you that you trust me enough to spend your life with me"]]> 2023-01-17 20:47:31 UTC https://padlet.com/casianakatana/94pl4ju5enndrecs/wish/2447487873 casianakatana https://padlet.com/casianakatana/94pl4ju5enndrecs/wish/2447499210 Next, I want to present another wedding photo. This is about the most beautiful day of Diana and Raul's life. They were so nervous about their first dance, because they were alone on the dance floor with everyone watching. I told them to ignore everyone else and to enjoy that moment together. The dance turned out amazing and they were so happy. The picture is magical. The lights on them, the heavy smoke, the fake snow and their perfect slow dance created a beautiful moment...the most emotional dance of their lives. 
I always try to give my best and capture everything with my camera and I think that this is worth to present on my Padlet. 
I want to end this post with the advice of their godparents when they found out that they are nervous for the first dance: "This is a real representation of what life in two means...YOU two against the world."]]> 2023-01-17 21:00:22 UTC https://padlet.com/casianakatana/94pl4ju5enndrecs/wish/2447499210 casianakatana https://padlet.com/casianakatana/94pl4ju5enndrecs/wish/2447506061 Today, I want to talk about another type of love...The parent's love. This photo is from a baptism. The story behind this event is deep. They tried for 10 years to have a child, and the day that Evie was born, it was like their whole life started to make sense again.
Evie is a special baby, she has beautiful blue eyes, perfect lips and a nice little smile. 
Her parents are so in love and they never stopped believing that one day, they will be three. 
I was glad to capture their happiness and the event day was so emotional. They enjoyed every single moment and I think that they are amazing parents. 
I want to end this post with the mother's words "Casiana, not even words can describe as good as your pictures do our love for Evie. Thank you, and your amazing skills"]]> 2023-01-17 21:08:02 UTC https://padlet.com/casianakatana/94pl4ju5enndrecs/wish/2447506061 casianakatana https://padlet.com/casianakatana/94pl4ju5enndrecs/wish/2447516242 This is my latest work. It is from this beautiful girl's 18th birthday party. She wore this amazing red dress that suited her perfectly.  and a tiara on her head. I decided to take her photoshoot at this old castle, because she looked like a real princess. She was so excited to pose and I think that the pictures turned out great.
The architecture of this castle surprised me. It was so nice and perfect for her, as I wanted to create a magical framing. 
I want to end this post with her words "When I decided to wear a tiara on my head, I didn't know that there is a castle waiting for me..."]]> 2023-01-17 21:19:38 UTC https://padlet.com/casianakatana/94pl4ju5enndrecs/wish/2447516242 casianakatana https://padlet.com/casianakatana/94pl4ju5enndrecs/wish/2447526870 Last but not least...This is my best photo from this series.
It is a photo of me, that was taken by my father and edited by me. It is from my 18th Birthday...the most beautiful day from my life.
The location of the photoshoot is Cantacuzino Castle, a magical place for me that has an special place in my heart. This is the place where my parents brought me for my 10th Birthday. When I was little I took this princess thing really serious, I wore a tiara and beautiful long dresses all day. The fact that i took this photo in this magical frame, was a dream come true. 
The landscape is out of this world...the castle behind me and the sun on the mountains created the perfect picture. 
I was delighted to create this series, I lived once again all the moments, and I loved expressing other people's feelings through my lens and my words.]]> 2023-01-17 21:32:15 UTC https://padlet.com/casianakatana/94pl4ju5enndrecs/wish/2447526870
