Elopement in Barcelona

By andreu doz | May 29, 2024 | Comments 7 comments

“Yes, I like Pina Coladas, and getting caught in the rain
I’m not much into health food, I am into Champagne
I’ve got to meet you by tomorrow noon, and cut through all this red tape
At a bar called O’Malley’s, where we’ll plan our escape”

Escape by Rupert Holmes

ELOPEMENT BARCELONA

This beautiful couple came all the way from Illinois to celebrate their elopement in the heart of Barcelona. Their intimate ceremony took place in a secluded park known to locals as Laberinto de Horta. This green paradise is located 15 minutes drive from Barcelona´s old city center and if you visit it before noon, you can hope to have most of it to yourself.

The park with its mystic and dreamlike atmosphere was a great location for the bride and groom to exchange their private vows. After the ceremony, the newlyweds opened a bottle of Champagne and it was time for the rest of their Barcelona adventure. The main attraction of the park- an authentic labyrinth garden- provided an ideal scenery for a warm up photo shoot.

Angela and Joshua felt like celebrating their marriage in the streets of Barcelona, so we quickly visited the nearby Park Güell for a few epic Barcelona shots. Then we moved on to the Gothic Quarter, where we joined locals and tourists in a busy urban environment. We took photos while we walked the streets of a beautiful central neighborhood called El Born. Eventually, we stopped for a quick snack and a refreshing beer in La Boqueria, the central food market of the Rambla.

Eloping is a perfect way to explore Barcelona. If this sounds tempting, do not hesitate and ¨plan your escape”!

TESTIMONIAL

Engagement in Barcelona

The city

You never get bored of this city. Barcelona is both, visually attractive and extremely photogenic. It is a city with personality. To a photographer, it offers a multitude of backgrounds, textures, and an unusual light that changes completely throughout the day. It is modern and traditional, busy and intimate. On top of that it reveals an eclectic mixture of old, historic monuments, vibrant day life, multicultural habitants, and the most impressive Art Nouveau architecture (here called Modernisme). Moreover, you can easily change your perspective and admire the city from above by climbing one of many viewpoints (here called Miradores). Barcelona is surrounded by mountains: Montjüic and Tibidabo and some neighbourhoods were build on hills: El Carmel, Horta, Guinardo. There is plenty of green in Gaudi´s Parque Güell and plenty of salty water at Barceloneta´s beach.

With this unlimited variety of locations, photographing couples in Barcelona is never the same, even if I get to return to the same places. For me, each session is a completely different experience, because every couple has its own energy and style and they interact differently with the surrounding. My idea is to capture those differences and to reflect the essence of each couple in the photographs.

Engagement Barcelona

I met with Fu and Chen early in the morning for their Engagement in Barcelona. At once, we walked around the old Gothic quarter, before the city fully woke up. Because most popular areas tend to get crowded after breakfast, but we got lucky and had some parts of it to ourselves. Beforehand, we planned together a very intense schedule for the day. We decided to photograph in 4 different locations, but also wanted to change outfits and the stylistics. Parque Güell was our second location, and Chen wore her wedding dress for this occasion. To complement the day, we wondered around the busy streets of Born. The strong afternoon sun and the red dress set perfectly against the old walls of the city. At the end, we moved down to the beach, to end our session bare feet on the sand.

Dinner under the stars

By andreu doz | April 2, 2024 | Comments 10 comments

This was an elegant “haute couture” wedding designed with style and a great taste! Every little detail mattered to Maria, the bride to be!

“She thought it all through and had it all under control” – Hugo, the future groom assured us.

When you have a clear vision of what your wedding should look like, do not conform, be persistent and have it your way! Maria managed to have a little chapel opened just for them, she insisted on replacing traditional name cards with carefully selected stones and despite the rain prediction she hosted an outdoor candle diner under the stars. She even kept the wedding venue a secret until the very end.

The most important thing about planning your wedding is to know that the planning ends when the wedding day begins! Maria and Hugo found the happy medium and proved that it is possible to have your perfect wedding vision come true and still fully enjoy playing the leading role on the big day.

They knew how to live and appreciate every single moment while laughing and crying and dancing!

The Team

M&H carefully picked a team of professionals and put themselves in their hands. The wedding planner Claudia & co. from Entre Tonos Pastel was on top of every single detail. The cheery stuff from the venue Xalet del Nin made everyone feel welcome and at home. The catering Sensacions prepared sensational cocktail and dinner under the stars of the Mediterranean Sea.

It was nothing but perfect!

“Andreu! Que si estamos recuperados? IMPOSIBLE!!! Seguimos eufóricos, emocionados, flipados,…en definitiva FELICES. Ni en nuestros mejores sueños podíamos imaginar algo así. Y tus fotos DE ESCÁNDALO!! No nos equivocamos en absoluto con el feeling que nos transmitiste desde el primer momento. Esperamos que hayáis disfrutado tanto como nosotros de todos y cada uno de los momentos de nuestro día. Nos sentimos inmensamente felices de haberos tenido en nuestro equipo.”

Maria and Hugo

Castell de Sant Marçal

Castell Sant Marçal Wedding

The Castell de Sant Marçal, located in Cerdanyola del Vallès just 20 minutes from Barcelona, is a historic gem that effortlessly blends medieval charm with modern elegance. One of the most breathtaking wedding venues in the Barcelona area. it stands out for its timeless style and refined atmosphere.

The bride and groom got ready at their own apartment in Barcelona. Afterwards M&R’s wedding ceremony took place at the Monestir de Sant Cugat, a majestic monastery located less than ten minutes from the castle. After the ceremony, the couple arrived in style in a classic Bentley. Meanwhile guests enjoyed a relaxed cocktail reception in the castle’s exquisite gardens.

Before the dinner began, we had the chance to capture some intimate portraits of the couple amidst the beautiful surroundings. The evening continued in the castle’s enchanting greenhouse, where warm light, elegant décor, and heartfelt toasts set the perfect tone for the celebration.

Here’s a sneak peek into M&R’s unforgettable wedding day at the Castell de Sant Marçal. It was a day full of romance, beauty, and moments to remember.

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.

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.

Hey! Let´s go to Sitges!

By andreu doz | May 18, 2018 | Comments 0 Comment

A Sitges destination wedding turns a one-day celebration into a unique adventure. It is like a big scale family trip with a twist! Sabrina and Frank could not have picked better. The wedding was held in a church by the sea in Sitges and the rest of the celebration took place in Casa Felix, a magnificent villa lost in the vineyards of Olivella. There was even some time for a quick drink a in a chiringuito by Sitges beach. Sitges is an amazing place for a wedding celebration. Sabrina and Frank came all the way from Irland for their destination wedding in Sitges.

Sitges offers an unforgettable Mediterranean backdrop — think golden beaches, turquoise waters, and breathtaking sunsets. Whether you’re dreaming of a beachfront ceremony or a hilltop villa celebration, Sitges delivers natural beauty in every direction.

So, hey, let´s all go to Sitges! And let this wicket theme from the 80s take us there again and again! Give it a go!
