A Bride who went fishing

Post Wedding Photoshoot

One day after the wedding of Jorgina and Miquel in San Carles de la Rapita, Tarragona, their family boat was due to set sail from the local port. Jorgina´s father is a fisherman and he owns a large fishing boat. Also, many male members of the family work for him. We simply could not resist the opportunity to witness their return to the port after a day fishing in the Mediterranean Sea. This is how our post-wedding reportage in Delta del Ebro started.

As soon as the boat was moored, the fishermen worked really fast to download all the fish, before the fearless seagulls get to it. We felt lucky and privileged to be allowed on board in the middle of the action. Gal·la, Jorgina and Miquel´s little daughter, was delighted to see her grandfather and uncles work. And she was not afraid to inspect the daily catch and posed with a fish in her hand proving that the fishermen´s blood runs in her veins.

When the day of hard work ended in the port, we moved on to the nearby rice fields, which is the most emblematic landmark of the region. This time of the year, the luscious green rice plant is already sprouting above the ground level. The flooded black soil is still the dominating texture. In a month time, those lands will turn into endless lawns of green.

Delta del Ebro

Delta of the river Ebro is probably the most authentic and unspoiled agricultural region of Catalunya. It is also renown for its incredible, natural beaches, dunes and swamps. To show the cross section of this magical place, we ended our session by the beach, right where the river reaches the seawaters. The sunset there is so unique, that no camera can capture its true beauty.

Summer in Barcelona

Barcelona Engagement

Hot air, burning light, dark shadows, strong contrast of colors, that is summertime in Barcelona, a perfect place for a engagement photoshoot. This magical city transforms completely from spring to winter, August being especially hot, busy, and loud.

To me, the streets of Barcelona always mean a new photographic challenge. This is why, I never say no when I have the opportunity to photograph couples in this amazing city, my hometown, Barcelona.

Why is Barcelona a perfect place for an Engagement

Stunning Architecture

Barcelona is basically an open-air museum. From the whimsical works of Gaudí like Park Güell and La Sagrada Família, to the charming Gothic Quarter, every corner has a unique backdrop that adds romance and character to your photos.

Romantic Vibes

There’s just something in the air — whether it’s the cobbled streets of El Born, a sunset walk along Barceloneta Beach, or cozy cafés tucked in medieval alleys. It’s made for romantic moments.

Golden Hour Magic

The Mediterranean light in Barcelona is chef’s kiss. Early morning or late afternoon light makes for dreamy, golden, warm tones that are perfect for couple portraits.

Diverse Backdrops in One City

You can get a mix of:

Beach vibes at Barceloneta
Urban history in Gothic Quarter
Nature + city skyline from Bunkers del Carmel
Fairy-tale feels in Park Güell or Labyrinth Park of Horta

Laid-Back Yet Stylish Atmosphere

Barcelona’s energy is relaxed but vibrant — couples often feel at ease, which brings out natural, candid shots. No stiff poses here.

Forest Wedding in Spain

By andreu doz | June 7, 2018 | Comments 0 Comment

If getting married in a forest has always been your dream, La Garriga de Castelladral is a wedding venue to consider.

Light colours, trees and flowers played an important role at this wedding. The romantic atmosphere could bee sensed in every corner. Vanessa, the bride, wore a flimsy, silk wedding gown and kept her long hair loose. Pastel tones of the bridal bouquet matched her delicate make up perfectly.

The wedding dinner was held in the garden where hundreds of verbena lights softly illuminated beautifully decorated tables. A big advantage of destination weddings in Spain is that they can be held entirely outdoor. Surely, nothing sets the party mood better than a summer garden wedding.

Autumn Elopement

By andreu doz | November 20, 2017 | Comments 10 comments

A wedding day should be about celebrating love. Pedro and Jessica found their own, perfect way to spend it. they took a mountain hike together.

As a destination of their Elopement, they chose the national park of Aigüestortes in the Catalan Pyrenees, moreover they both agreed it had to be in autumn.

They woke up early, in a beautiful mountain village Erill La Vall. This is where Pedro took a “first look” at his bride.

Afterwards, dressed as bride and groom, they both hiked all the way to a magical spot they had chosen to exchange their vowels.

The ceremony took place right next to the waterfall – Cascada de Sant Esperit. It was an intimate moment they designed together and shared, facing the breathtaking valley – Planell d’Aigüestortes.

At this time of the year, the park astonishes with warm colours and soft light, but most importantly, it is almost deserted. The couple crossed their paths with few determined hikers, but it felt as if they had an exclusive right to be there. The Elopement was witnessed by families of cows, almost immersed in this landscape, and a herd of goats enjoying their last days of worm weather before going down to the barns for winter.

There was also time for a picnic-style, candlelight dinner that the newly-weds shared, admiring the sunset. They prepared it earlier and brought it in their backpacks.

There was not a single thing that went wrong that day. Hopefully the photos will help preserve their memories and emotions for many years to come.

Let’s the show begin! The groom’s preparation and the bride’s preparation are two completely different worlds. Something each must do alone before meeting at the altar.

Every groom experiences it in his own unique way, but one thing always remains the same—an undeniable electricity in the air. It’s a moment charged with emotion, much like the anticipation in a theater dressing room, where the leading man prepares for his grand debut. As a wedding photographer, capturing this quiet intensity before the ceremony begins is one of the most powerful parts of the story.

On this day, there’s no room for improvisation. The role is clear: suit up, look your best, and wait for the moment to arrive….

The most important thing is that, on this day, no groom will ever be alone. He will be surrounded by familiar faces, laughter, and pure joy. With the best support and a powerful surge of courage from his friends, he is ready to step into the most important moment of his life.

Art & Weddings

By andreu doz | September 24, 2015 | Comments 0 Comment

Art & weddings go hand in hand. Since I first discovered street photography, I started asking myself where the limits lie between artistic photography and documental photography. Now that my professional work is inseparably connected with documenting people and their important life moments, I think about it even more.

Can we, as wedding photographers, also identify as artists?

Or is it our duty to honestly show the reality and withdraw ourselves from interpretation and judgment? Is it even possible to separate those two processes?

And finally, how big is our role as chroniclers in writing collective memory for our society?

As a documentary wedding photographer, I often find myself walking a fine line between truth and artistry. Wedding photography is more than staged portraits and posed smiles—it’s about capturing raw emotion, fleeting glances, and the subtle poetry of real-life moments. This is where artistic wedding photography truly shines: in the in-between.

I have picked some of my photographs that may or may not be considered traditional wedding photography. I hope this becomes an invitation to a broader discussion about what it means to document love, life, and art all at once.

Why Getting a Vintage Photocall for Your Wedding is a Fun and Memorable Idea

If you’re planning a wedding and looking for a unique way to engage your guests, consider hiring a vintage photocall. Here are several reasons why a vintage Photocall is a fantastic addition to your wedding celebration:

1. Nostalgic Charm and Timeless Appeal

A vintage photocall adds a touch of nostalgia to your wedding day. With its retro props and classic backdrops, it transports your guests to a bygone era, creating an atmosphere of timeless elegance. Whether your theme is 1920s glam, rustic vintage, or a 70s boho vibe, a vintage photo booth enhances the mood and offers a unique experience for your guests.

2. Fun and Interactive Entertainment for Guests

A vintage photocall is more than just a photo booth—it’s an interactive experience. Guests can enjoy dressing up with vintage-inspired props, hats, glasses, and accessories. This playful activity brings out creativity and laughter, turning your wedding into a memorable celebration full of joy and fun moments.

3. Seamless Integration with Your Wedding Theme

If your wedding embraces a vintage theme, a vintage photocall will perfectly complement the décor. The backdrop, props, and overall style can be tailored to match your wedding’s aesthetic, whether it’s a rustic vintage wedding or a retro chic celebration. This consistency in style enhances the atmosphere and ensures your wedding looks cohesive in every photo.

4. Unique Wedding Keepsakes for Guests

One of the standout features of a vintage photocall is the ability to provide physical prints for your guests. Unlike digital photos, the printed pictures from the photo booth serve as timeless keepsakes. These mementos can be cherished long after the wedding, allowing your guests to take home a piece of the day, while you can relive the memories through these fun, candid moments.

5. Capture Candid, Unforgettable Memories

The vintage photocall is not just about the photos—it’s about the fun and spontaneous moments it creates. The candid smiles, laughter, and quirky poses are the essence of unforgettable memories. These genuine moments, captured in a vintage style, reflect the true spirit of your wedding day, and make your celebration even more memorable.

Why a Vintage Photocall is Perfect for Your Wedding

Incorporating a vintage photocall into your wedding adds charm, fun, and a personal touch. It’s the perfect way to entertain your guests and create lasting memories. Whether you’re embracing a rustic vintage wedding theme or simply want to add a playful element to your big day, a vintage photo booth will surely be a hit.
