Casa Felix Wedding Photography – Stephanie & Ian

April 25, 2017 | 1 Comment

Casa Felix has become one of my favourite locations to shoot around Barcelona throughout the years (see for example HERE and HERE :)) and it was the venue for my very first wedding of 2017 this past Saturday as well! :))) Being back in this absolutely gorgeous setting reminded me that I still haven’t posted Stephanie & Ian´s perfect day from last August…

For this rustic/classic destination wedding Steph & Ian wanted to mix simple, elegant aesthetics with lots of greenery and light summery colors while putting the emphasis on creating a lighthearted and fun celebration for their friends and families. They pulled off the perfect summer fete and I LOVED every minute of it……

Castell Peralada Destination Wedding – Lauren and Eddie

February 8, 2017 | Leave a Comment

Fine art wedding photography is a realtively new term in Barcelona and if you need any clarification of what it means, look no further then Lauren & Eddie´s gorgeous Castle Peralada wedding. Beautifully curated details, soft, pastel tones captured on film (in my case Fuji 400h), lots of sunshine but most importantly MUCHO AMOR. Here is more about them and their big day as described by my gorgeous Lauren:

Where did we first meet

I used to be a bar maid in a local pub and Eddie used to come in at the weekends when he was home from university, to be honest I wasn’t his biggest fan as my boyfriend at the time worked behind the bar and Eddie used to try and chat me up! Years later when my best friend started dating one of Eddies friends are paths crossed again, he took me out on a date and we instantly just clicked, the rest is history!

How did he propose

Eddie took me away to Dublin for the weekend for my birthday! We went out for a lovely meal and on the way back to the hotel as we walked through St Stephens Green he got on one knee and asked me to marry him! I said yes instantly!

Theme for the wedding

Boho glam: I really love the laid back soft finishing of bohemian styling but as I was getting married in such a grand venue I wanted to make sure that this style suited the surrounding so made sure it involved a bit of sparkle. The colour scheme wasn’t too thought out, I wanted something that wasn’t too regimented, something soft that suited the summer lighting!

Andrea and Karim flew to Barcelona all the way from Canada to get wed at their dream venue… the Castell Tamarit. And boy, Talk about a dream venue…. castle… check… mediterranean sea… check… lucious gardens… check…. beautiful deco… check…. check check check. Its truly one of those places that destinations dreams are made of and I couldn´t have felt more privileged to share their absolutely perfect wedding day with them. It was truly the joining of two families that love each other tremendously. Two completely different cultures united by love….. mais OUI! A truly en route experience! 🙂

The Costa Brava Wedding of Diana and Brian – EL FAR

December 1, 2016 | 3 Comments

This season started and ended in a whim, hardly had time to blink before it was over and now I sit here in a cozy cafe, with a macbook full of photographs, a head full of new memories and a iphone contacts full of new friends…. sigh sigh sigh…. this season has been one for the books and I cannot wait to finally show you all the prettiness, all the cool couples, all the amazing locations and bombastic providers I got to work with…. let us begin!!!

Diana and Brian’s wedding was the most perfect way to start my wedding season 2016. It was that picture perfect destination wedding that most couples who plan to wed abroad dream of….. pastel prettiness (I shot it mostly on film :)), gorgeous sea views, delicious Spanish food and most of all, so much (happy) tears and laughter that my face still hurts if I think of them (not that I ever cry on wedding… uhummmm). Brian…. I hope you don’t mind me saying, but you were one of the cutest, most in love grooms I’ve ever seen (and I’ll never forget the look on your face when you saw her walking down the steps :)) and Diana…. to say you were a vision would be a major understatement… its brides like you who discredit my work as it seems like I’m hiring professional models to work with!!! 🙂 Well if any doubts, Diana is a real WOMAN to the bone, gracious, happy, kind and just radiantly beautiful…. I have nothing else to say than THANK YOU for having me and letting me tell your story through my lens…… forever yours x

pssss… En Route can now take care of your wedding video too! 🙂

Casa Felix Wedding Photography SITGES – Paul & Minnie

April 6, 2016 | 1 Comment

BOHEMIAN wedding with capital everything in Barcelona!!! This very hot but very cool summer wedding in Casa Felix was just a dream to photograph, simple boho details that fit the masia perfectly combined with wild flowers for deco and family style bbq for dinner. Paul and Minnie if your life together will be anything like your wedding day you are a very lucky couple and I wish you all the very best and happiest in the world!

I’ll let these two tell you a bit more about their wedding personally:

– What was the theme/look of your day?

Relaxed Bohemian

– Why did you choose your venue?

It simply fitted our vision perfectly, it was the very first place we found when searching and nothing else compared

– What did you love about the look/feel of it?

How relaxed and informal it was

– Who was your dress by and why did you love it?

Custom made, as a two piece it was very unique

– What flowers were used predominantly and why?

We had a mixture but the sunflowers were a predominant feature and really set it off well

– What was on the menu? Why did you choose this food?

We had a buffet type bbq menu which kept things flowing and meant guests weren’t forced to stay in seats in the sweltering heat

– Cake: 3 tier naked cake with vanilla buttercream filling & topped with fresh fruit. It was delicious and everyone had a piece

– Apart from the ceremony, which was your favourite moment of the day?

Dancing the night away in the barn

– What made you laugh out loud?

The speeches & also everyone dancing away in the barn

– What made you cry?

Emotional leading upto ceremony & seeing each other.

My gran (Philomena) unfortunately passed away some time before the wedding, my friend gave me a gift before the ceremony of a charm with a small framed picture of my gran for my bouquet .

– Who was the first on the dancefloor? Who was the last?

US for both!

– What advice/tips would you give to brides-to-be still planning their big day?

Go with what you truly want, don’t stress too much. All that matters is that you and your fiancée are in love and tying the knot in front of loved ones.
