Busiest around May · quietest in January — in peak season book a sunset slot 4–6 weeks ahead; off-season means soft light, thin crowds and easy availability.

Why Our Lady of the Rocks is a great place to shoot

Our Lady of the Rocks (Gospa od Škrpjela), Kotor, is an exceptional location for a professional photoshoot for several reasons: 1. Unique Setting: Situated on an artificial islet in the Bay of Kotor, the church offers a distinctive backdrop with panoramic views of the surrounding waters and mountains. 2. Historical Significance: The islet was created over centuries by local seamen who, according to legend, found an icon of the Madonna and Child on a rock in the sea in 1452. They vowed to build a church on that spot, leading to the gradual formation of the island by sinking old ships and depositing stones. This rich history adds depth and narrative to any photoshoot. 3. Architectural Beauty: The church, built in 1632 and renovated in 1722, features a blend of Baroque and Byzantine architectural elements. Its interior houses 68 paintings by Tripo Kokolja, a renowned 17th-century baroque artist from Perast, including the notable "Death of the Virgin" painting. The intricate details and artistry provide elegant and sophisticated settings for photography. 4. Cultural Traditions: The annual "Fašinada" event, held on July 22, where locals throw rocks into the sea to maintain the islet, showcases the living traditions and communal spirit of the area. Capturing this event can add a dynamic and culturally rich dimension to your photos. 5. Serene Atmosphere: The tranquil environment of the islet, accessible only by boat, offers a peaceful setting away from the bustling mainland. This serenity allows for focused and uninterrupted photoshoots, enabling subjects to feel relaxed and natural.

Did an engagement photo shoot with Sofia and she was so good! We haven’t done photo shoots before and she directed us where to go for the best light and how to pose and the photos turned out great! 10/10
