The advantages of after wedding sessions

If time and budget permits I always try to advise my clients to schedule a post wedding portrait session. There are various advantages, one being that you don’t have to leave your guests during reception hour on your wedding day, you can be creative with where and when you want to do the shoot, not to mention that a day or two after the wedding we are usually able to capture much more relaxed, natural images than on the day of the wedding. Let’s face it, for most brides the actual wedding day is very stressful, with little to no sleep the night before and often it can be hard to let loose for the pictures, not to mention that sometimes we just have a few minutes due to various schedule variances or due to the lack of light. If you’re a bride and photography is very important to you, I’d say book a post wedding session and give yourself the chance to get as much milage and breathtaking pictures out of your wedding experience as possible.

These images of Emily and Gael were taken the day after their wedding. I couldn’t be more thrilled with how these pictures turned out.

Home Sweet Home

It’s a funny feeling you get when a dream comes true… Since I was a little girl I was dreaming about living on the beach in Barcelona, going on morning runs by the sea, watching the waves from my balcony.. it was a far fetched dream but I was determined to make it come true one day. Today I’m moving into my tiny new apartment, on the beach, with a seaview from my balcony… the next few days you could find me covered in paint, scrubbing floors or going crazy in IKEA… but very happy. Here is a little inspiration of what I want my new home to look like… hippie traveller chic meets rustic meets beach. Wish me luck!

P.S: Thank you universe!!!

Silvia + Alvaro | Wedding Photographer Barcelona

Alvaro and Silvia’s beautiful and romantic wedding took place in the Raimat vineyards in Lleida, about an hour outside of Barcelona. After their emotional ceremony in the Sant Llorenç church the whole wedding party got on buses to greet the newlyweds in the beautiful winery. The impressive & gigantic metalic barrels provided the perfect backdrop for the cocktail hour, which was followed by a lavish meal and a mega-super-awesome Beatles imitator concert where even the photographers couldn’t resist shaking it a bit! ;D  Thank you Happines for letting me tag along as your second photographer to this gorgeous wedding! ;)

I heart NY

This post has been brewing inside me for over a week now… what should I say about my trip to New York or rather what shouldn’t I say? If you’ve been there yourself you know exactly what I’m talking about and if you’ve never been… dude… you just gotta go! There are really no words to describe the feeling you get looking down at the concrete jungle from the top of the Rockefeller Center, or the cool vibe you get roaming the streets of Nolita, the exotic cocktail of every single nation stirred up in the different hoods… It’s like 10 city put into one, or maybe even more… if I wanna keep it short and sweet I just gonna say, I absolutely LOVED every minute of my trip to New York and while it was rather short, I got to get a taste of the city and I’m defo craving for more! New York… see you soon! xxx

P.S: How come noone ever told me that New York has actual sandy beaches???
