Barcelona Engagement Session | Danielle & John

February 23, 2015 | 5 Comments

I LOVE ENGAGEMENT SESSIONS! There is something so liberating and awesome about being able to show people around my beloved Barcelona, planning our shoot the weeks beforehand and shooting with plenty of time on our hands. These sessions are always so relaxed, fun and such a great practice for the wedding day itself! 🙂

Danielle and John visited from Canada and they wanted to take advantage of their travel lust & Barcelona’s beauty by shooting their engagement session here. As most men, John wasn’t sure about the whole idea at first, but he just couldn’t say no to Danielle. 🙂 After all, we had such a fun afternoon together that John even mentioned that the shoot was the highlight of their entire European trip… he loved hugging and kissing his soon to be wifey while wandering around the streets of Barcelona… and Danielle… well she’s just a natural born model and my camera loved her! Thank you guys for a fantastic afternoon… I hope our paths will cross again! 🙂

Sitges Wedding Photography | Marilo and Laia

February 19, 2015 | Leave a Comment

As soon as I met Marilo and Laia I knew it! I had to be their wedding photographer and was ready to fight off my competitors if needed to! 🙂 Luckily the ladies agreed and I excitedly jumped into their wedding adventure counting down the days till their Sitges beach wedding in the Hotel Terramar on June 14th. This was a very special wedding for me for several reasons, not only because I had two beautiful brides to work with, but also because they were getting married in the sand right on the beach (which is something most unusual in Barcelona), because they are surfer girls after my own heart and because they also enlisted the help of some of my favourite local designers, Carolina from Otaduy for their gowns and Charo Ruiz for their shoes! But all obvious prettiness aside, this wedding was nothing sort of beautiful, full of tears (yes, my own as well), laughter and dancing! Oh the dancing! These girls sure know how to throw a party!!! The dancing started before dinner, continued during dinner and lasted till the early morning hours. Yep, a certain wedding photographer might have been shaking some moves on that dance floor as well……… psssst don’t tell anyone! 🙂

Costa Brava Exploration

February 17, 2015 | 3 Comments

Late December my mom and sis flew in for some family quality time and I took the opportunity to visit some beaches on the Costa Brava with them I haven’t known before and experiment with my film camera along the way too. (btw have I mentioned how hooked I am on film now? will post about it soon I promise)

The Costa Brava is practically the backyard of Barcelona full of beautiful beaches, dramatic cliffed coastline and dotted with romantic little villages to frolic through. As my first wedding of 2015 will take place very close to Calella de Palafrugell we decided to head there and do a few test shots & get to know the area a bit…. what can I say… it was love at first sight! It was one of those “I-cant-belive-I-live-an-hour-from-this” moments…. the scenery is idyllic to say the least, but I let my photos do the talking.

p.s: thanks mom & sis for modelling! 🙂
