Tears of Joy

By andreu doz | August 11, 2022 | Comments 1 comment

As wedding photographers, we are always in search of genuine emotion. There is no better opportunity to find it than at a wedding.

Happiness, nostalgia, a sense of belonging, pride—these are just some of the feelings that accompany the couple, their families, and friends throughout the day.

From our point of view, every emotion is beautiful. Its expression on people’s faces is something that fascinates us and says much more than words ever could.

The golden light during a sunset ceremony, a father’s teary eyes as he sees his daughter in her dress, the uncontainable laughter during speeches—these are the details that give each wedding its soul. It’s in these unscripted instants that true connection reveals itself.

By blending into the background, we allow space for authenticity. We don’t just photograph people; we capture relationships, history, and love in its most vulnerable and beautiful form. Because years from now, it’s these raw, real moments that will take you back—not just to how everything looked, but to exactly how it felt.

Hotel Font de la Canya

Font de la Canya: A Breathtaking Wedding Venue in the Heart of Catalonia

As a wedding photographer, I’ve had the privilege of shooting in many beautiful places across Europe. But there’s something uniquely special about Font de la Canya, a rustic wedding venue tucked away in the Penedès wine region of Catalonia, Spain.

The first time I photographed a wedding here, I knew instantly—this place has magic.

A Hidden Gem in the Heart of Penedès

Font de la Canya is located less than an hour from Barcelona, surrounded by vineyards, olive groves, and rolling Catalan hills. It offers the perfect balance between nature and tradition, making it an absolute dream for both couples and photographers.

For anyone planning a destination wedding in Spain, it’s the kind of venue that feels both intimate and cinematic.

Natural Beauty That Does the Work for You

One of the first things I noticed as a photographer was how beautifully the venue interacts with light. From soft morning haze over the vines to that golden Mediterranean glow in the late afternoon—it’s like nature itself is your lighting assistant.

Whether we’re doing a first look beneath the olive trees or capturing golden-hour portraits by the vineyard fence, the surroundings are effortlessly stunning.

Rustic Architecture with a Touch of Elegance

What I love about Font de la Canya is that it doesn’t feel staged or artificial. The buildings have real character—stone walls, wooden beams, terracotta tones—all of which photograph beautifully.

And the layout is a photographer’s dream: outdoor ceremony space, garden cocktail areas, and a warm, inviting reception hall. Each space transitions naturally, which makes for a fluid storytelling experience throughout the day.

Ceremony, Cocktail & Dinner—All in One Flow

From a photographer’s point of view, venues that offer a full-day experience without changing locations are invaluable. Font de la Canya allows you to have:

A serene outdoor ceremony with vineyard views
A vibrant cocktail hour in the garden
A stylish, rustic reception dinner indoors or outside under string lights

Not only does this create a relaxed, guest-friendly timeline—it also means I never miss a moment chasing cars between venues.

Local Flavors & Mediterranean Vibes

Being in the Penedès wine region, the food and wine here are phenomenal. From an editorial standpoint, details like tables adorned with local olive oil bottles, fresh herbs, and Catalan ceramics make for gorgeous flat-lays and reception imagery.

And of course, happy guests sipping cava in the sun is always a photo I love to capture.

Why Font de la Canya is a Photographer’s Playground

If you’re a photographer reading this: you will love this venue.

Between the rustic textures, wide open fields, shady garden paths, and constantly shifting light, you’ll have endless opportunities to shoot creatively. It feels like you’re working with a natural film set—only real, emotional, and full of life.

It’s the kind of venue where you don’t have to force anything—the beauty reveals itself to your lens.

Authentic, Emotional, and Easygoing

What sets this venue apart isn’t just the aesthetics—it’s the atmosphere. Font de la Canya has an incredibly authentic and welcoming energy. It’s calm, personal, and never over-commercialized. Every couple I’ve worked with here has felt seen, supported, and fully relaxed—which, as any photographer knows, makes all the difference in the final images.

Would I Recommend Font de la Canya? 1000% Yes.

If you’re a couple dreaming of a rustic wedding in Spain or a destination celebration in Catalonia, this venue deserves your full attention.

And if you’re a wedding photographer looking for your next favorite location—bookmark this one. Trust me, your portfolio will thank you.

Falling in love in Oxford

By andreu doz | October 15, 2019 | Comments 0 Comment

To celebrate the place where they first met, Ana and Neil returned to Oxford for a day trip. And they invited us to join them!

This Pre-wedding session was not only a chance to photograph the two of them in fun and relaxed circumstances. It was a perfect excuse to experience a new adventure. We are always thrilled to discover new places and to hear stories our couples have to tell.

The stories Oxford could tell us are undoubtedly endless.

Falling in love in Oxford

Being able to just walk the old streets of this town already feels like a privilege. It made us think off all those great minds that walked them before us: J.R.R. Tolkien, Oscar Wilde, Stephen Hawkin, Indira Gandhi.

It also made us wonder what it must feel like for those young students to arrive here hoping to get a taste of greatness, wishing to become a part of something extraordinary. The famous Bridge of Sighs has been there the whole time and will be there weather they succeed or fail to accomplish their dreams.

Once we passed the walls off the University building we were transformed to a totally different world. The interiors of the campus are extensive and intimidating. Oxford is the oldest surviving university in the English-speaking world. It is over 900 years old. Those walls have seen it all! Including filming of the Harry Potter saga. We could not resist and took a quick shot in the famous Great Hall inside the Christ Church College. Thanks to Diogo, our unofficial tour guide, we also located the famous stairway used in the film, and a small archway where Harry first arrives at Hogwarts.

We also uncovered some paths that belong exclusively to Ana and Neil, paths that shape their own, utterly unique Oxford story.

And here is how their story unwinds in their wedding in Barcelona

Wedding in Menorca

The first thing Laura and Albert said to us was “we don´t like big weddings and we are not having one”. What they had in mind was an intimate ceremony in the backyard of a local boutique hotel and a rock and roll party.

It was a week of local fiestas in Albert´s hometown Ferreries (Menorca). All the streets were decorated with colourful ribbons. Hotel Ses Sucres is located close to the groom´s family home. On the day of his wedding, he walked to the hotel accompanied by his family and closest friends.

The backyard of this eccentric hotel offered a very simple but picturesque surrounding for a wedding ceremony. Yellow was the color of the day!

After the ceremony, everyone followed the newlyweds to the final destination. A traditional Merocan country sidehouse where they hada self-service open bar, a vintage neon light with bride and groom´s initial and plenty of life music. The DJ played all time classics only from vinyl records and, as far as we are concerned, this event made it to the top on the list of non-traditional weddings.

Trash your dress in Cap de Creus

By andreu doz | April 26, 2019 | Comments 2 comments

Post Wedding Costa Brava

If you find it hard to let go off your wedding outfit and the thought of never wearing it again is to hard to bare, a post-wedding session may be just the right therapy for you.

Why not pop on your wedding dress one more time?! Why not take it for an outdoor adventure?! Trash your dress photo-shoot is a great opportunity to create even more epic wedding images and fun memories.

Unlike the wedding day, when it comes to post wedding photo shootings, there are no time or space limitations. You can be as creative as you wish!

Sometimes a great location is all you need to assure a beautiful and dramatic result. With Carlos and Yasmine, we traveled to Cap de Creus, a magical headland located close to the French border, at the far northeast of Catalunya, Spain.

In this photo-shoot we decided to focus on textures and the omnipresent, surreal landscape.

The cape is a magical place that attracts not only hikers, but also artists. It inspired many paintings of locally born Salvador Dalí. The painter moved here from his birth town Figueres. His eccentric but beautiful house is located in a tiny fisherman town Porlligat, Cadaqués and can be visited during holiday season.

On the highest hill of the cape, right by the Lighthouse, you can stop for a cold beer, try homemade local food and, if you are lucky, enjoy the sunset accompanied by a free life music performance and the most amazing sea views in the area.

Wedding in the heart of Barcelona – Hotel Miramar

By andreu doz | April 24, 2019 | Comments 1 comment

This was not a typical wedding. Some guest wore saris while others put on kilts. In fact, the groom had a personalised kilt designed especially for the occasion. The bride chose traditional white, but it did not stop her from performing for her newly married husband with a group of Bollywood dancers.

There were soap bubbles, Scottish Whiskey in personalised flasks, inflatable doll on a wheelchair and tones of laughter mixed with tears of happiness.

While planning their wedding in the heart of Barcelona in Hotel Miramar, Ana and Neil put tradition on hold and took things in their own hands. They followed their personal vision and organised a tailor-made wedding to fit them. And only them, perfectly.

Hotel Miramar is situated on top of Montjuic right in front of the sea. It is an ideal destination to celebrate a city wedding. The views are fantastic and the city center is just round the corner.

“Thank you so much for the photos – they are simply incredible! We got them middle last week and have been looking at them every night! It brings back so many happy memories (and warmer!)…we were in floods of tears looking at them. Obviously I am biased but they are the best photos I have ever seen, and we are so happy we chose you both to take them. Speechless at how amazing they are and how they captured fantastic moments – with so much emotion – at every stage!!” Ana and Neil

A Bride who went fishing

By andreu doz | August 30, 2018 | Comments 3 comments

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.
