Csillagkert Wedding
Ywett & Ádám
I went to primary school with Ádám. So when he and Ywett asked me to photograph their wedding, it was a different kind of yes. The kind where you don’t even check the date first.
Their Csillagkert wedding happened in August 2019. Bubbles instead of confetti. A cake that tells you everything about who they are in about 4 seconds. And a portrait session that started in fine weather and ended with us laughing under an umbrella in the woods.
This isn’t a venue tour. It’s the day as it actually happened.
A Csillagkert Wedding with Two Chefs and Their Own Cake
The day at Csillagkert flowed the way the best weddings do. Ywett’s dad walked her in past the fir trees. The ceremony was outside under the wooden pavilion. Then bubbles, mothers blowing them in the foreground, the rest of the family laughing behind.
Here’s the thing about Ywett and Ádám: he’s a chef, she’s a pastry chef. So when it came to the cake, they made it themselves. Three tiers. An FC Barcelona crest on the bottom for Ádám. A PlayStation logo above it. Chef’s knives right under the bride-and-groom topper. Plus a real sparkler that shot sparks 2 feet into the air during the reveal.
No white fondant. No second-guessing what guests would think. A cake that was completely them.
When the Rain Came in the Forest
We’d planned the portrait session for late afternoon. About 10 minutes in, the rain started. Not drizzle, proper rain.
Ywett and Ádám looked at each other, shrugged, and said let’s keep going. So we did. We grabbed an umbrella and walked deeper into the woods. The shots from that hour are some of my favourites from any wedding. Her kissing his cheek under a sparkly umbrella in black and white. The two of them later under a navy umbrella, hair damp, completely calm.
It’s the same principle behind good candid wedding photography. Couples who roll with whatever the day brings get photos that actually mean something later.

Thinking about
At Csillagkert or Somewhere in Hungary?
Hi, I’m Eszter, a Bristol wedding photographer originally from Hungary. I grew up there, I speak the language, and I know how a Hungarian wedding actually flows. The bits that matter to family. The bits that surprise foreign guests. The rhythm of the day.
Ywett and Ádám didn’t have a dry day. The weather did its own thing. We just kept going, and the photos got better for it. That’s what a good wedding photographer is meant to do.
