The mystery of gypsy weddings

My name is Sara Gómez Dubois, I'm a 42-year-old photographer with French and Spanish origins. I was born in Málaga, Spain.
After graduating from Audio-Visual Communication at the University of Málaga in 2007, I completed my education in photo journalism in Barcelona in 2010. 
I moved to Croatia in 2013, opened my own photo studio.
Among other works, I was introduced to the Gypsy Community and I developed a special relationship with them that has lasted until today. With an extensive portfolio, I try to capture the essence of their lavish lifestyle and their unique traditions.

Misterij ciganskih vjenčanja

Zovem se Sara Gómez Dubois i imam 42 godine, fotografkinja sam francusko-španjolskog podrijetla. Rođena sam u Málagi u Španjolskoj.
Nakon što sam 2007. godine diplomirala audiovizualnu komunikaciju na Sveučilištu u Málagi, završila sam studij foto novinarstva u Barceloni 2010. godine.

U Hrvatsku sam se preselila 2013. godine i otvorila vlastiti foto studio.
Između ostalog, upoznala sam Rome i razvila poseban odnos s njima koji traje do danas. S opsežnim portfoliom pokušavam uhvatiti bit njihovog raskošnog načina života i njihovih jedinstvenih tradicija.

The limousine

During the day, the bride and groom leave the celebration for a while to drive in the limousine with as many kids and relatives as the vehicle can hold.

The cake

The status of a Gypsy family is often measured by the extravagance and size of the wedding cake.

Torta

Virginity

A crucial moment in every wedding ceremony is when the virginity of the bride is proven. To celebrate it, men proceed to break the dishes while women hold proudly the underskirt.  ​ ​

Djevičanstvo

Ključan trenutak u svakoj svadbenoj ceremoniji je kada se dokazuje nevinost mladenke. Kako bi to proslavili, muškarci razbijaju posuđe dok žene ponosno drže podsuknju.

Nona's crown

The bride holds a big basket full of red roses and gives them away to their guests in exchange for the presents for the wedding.  Often money and jewelry are given in a theatrical manner.

Nonina kruna

Mladenka drži veliku košaru punu crvenih ruža i dijeli ih svojim gostima u zamjenu za vjenčane darove. Najčešće su to novac i nakit koji se poklanjaju na teatralan način.
