Why couples choose us

More than beautiful photographs

01

A calm experience

Guidance when you need it, without turning your wedding into a photoshoot. Most of the day we are simply there, and you will forget we are.

02

Destination experience

Comfortable working with international couples, travel schedules and unfamiliar venues — including the ones none of us has seen until the week of the wedding.

03

Professional backup

Professional equipment, every frame written to two memory cards at once, and your images backed up off-site within twenty-four hours.

04

Clear communication

Straightforward packages, transparent pricing and a simple booking process. You always know what happens next, and what it costs.

Our promises

What every couple can count on

Nothing is published without your consent

No blog post, no portfolio entry, no social post, no submission to a publication. Your wedding is private by default and stays private unless you write to say otherwise. A non-disclosure agreement is signed on request and at no cost.

You meet your photographer before the day

The photographer on your wedding is the one you spoke to, and if a second is added you are told who they are in advance. Both have read the timeline and know the venue. Nobody learns your names that morning.

A preview in seven days, everything in eight weeks

A preview set within seven days of the wedding, and the complete edited set within eight weeks — four for an elopement. Those are commitments rather than estimates. If we are ever going to miss one, you hear it from us before the date passes.

Your archive is kept, and it is yours

Full-resolution files, a private online archive, and a print release for personal use with no expiry and no territory limit. You are never asked to buy back your own photographs.

The full Barcelona guide

Wedding photography in Barcelona

We photograph weddings and elopements in Barcelona and its coast — the Gothic Quarter and El Born, Montjuïc and the waterfront, castles and masias in the Maresme and the Penedès, and the beach towns of Sitges and the Costa Brava.

The most useful planning truth is that Barcelona runs late: dinners start well into the evening and parties go past midnight, so the photography day is long and the portrait light falls before the reception, not after.

Barcelona gives you three cities in one afternoon. The Gothic Quarter is narrow, shaded and medieval, with light falling into the lanes in slices. The Eixample is wide, ordered and Modernista, with Gaudí and Domènech i Montaner on the corners. And the sea is at the bottom of every street, with the beach and the port catching the open evening sky.

Most weddings here happen just outside the city rather than in it: in castles and masias in the hills behind the coast, in the vineyards of the Penedès, or in the towns along the sea to the north and south. The city itself is often used for the portraits, the day before or the morning after, when the old streets are quiet.

Spanish weddings keep late hours. The aperitivo can run for as long as a dinner does elsewhere, and dancing starts close to midnight. That changes the shape of the coverage: the best portrait light lands before the meal, and the question is less when the light goes than how much of the night you want photographed.

The best wedding photography locations in Barcelona

01

Gothic Quarter and Carrer del Bisbe

Narrow medieval lanes and the carved bridge on Carrer del Bisbe. Best at sunrise, before the tour groups, when the stone is quiet and the light is even.

02

Park Güell

Gaudí’s mosaics and terraces above the city. The monumental zone is ticketed with timed entry, so a session here is booked in advance and usually early.

03

Bunkers del Carmel

A hilltop with the whole city to the sea. Wide and open, popular at sunset, and much quieter at dawn.

04

Barceloneta beach

Sand and sea in the city itself. A sunrise location: the sun comes up over the water, and by mid-morning the beach is full.

05

Parc de la Ciutadella

Palms, the ornate Cascada fountain and shaded paths. Useful in summer for soft, even light in the middle of the day.

06

Montjuïc and the MNAC steps

Broad staircases and terraces below the Palau Nacional, looking over the city. Good in the late afternoon, with the city below and the light behind you.

Popular wedding venues in Barcelona

Places couples choose between here, and how each behaves for photographs. A list, not a list of partners: we recommend nowhere for a fee.

  • Casa Llotja de Mar

    Historic stock-exchange building, near the port

    A Gothic trading hall inside a neoclassical building, with high arches and columns. The hall is grand and fairly dark, so the evening is lit by the room and the portraits happen outside.

  • Castell de Sant Marçal

    Castle and gardens, Cerdanyola del Vallès

    A castle with gardens and lawns just behind the Collserola hills, close enough to the city for guests staying there. The grounds give open space and green that the centre does not have.

  • Castell de Santa Florentina

    Modernista castle, Canet de Mar

    A medieval castle reworked by Domènech i Montaner in the Maresme, with gardens near the sea. Rich interiors and a garden that holds the light late into the evening.

  • Hotel Arts Barcelona

    Seafront hotel, Port Olímpic

    A modern tower on the beach, with terraces and gardens facing the sea and the Frank Gehry fish sculpture beside it. The water is right there, and so is the city.

  • El Palace Barcelona

    Historic hotel, Eixample

    A 1919 hotel on the Gran Via with gilded salons and a rooftop garden. A city wedding in one building, with the Eixample for a short walk of portraits outside.

When to marry in Barcelona, and at what hour

April to June

Warm and clear, with long evenings and gentle light in the old streets. The busiest wedding season, and the most comfortable one.

July to August

Humid and hot, with a hazy sky over the sea. The city is very full; the hills and the coast outside it are the better places to be married.

September to October

The sea is warm, the humidity drops and the light turns golden. Occasional autumn storms, which usually pass quickly.

The kind of place

  • Castles and Modernista estates in the hills and along the Maresme coast
  • Masias — Catalan country houses — with courtyards, olive trees and long tables outside
  • Historic halls and hotels in the city, with the old streets for portraits
  • Vineyard estates in the Penedès, a short drive inland

Planning a wedding in Barcelona

  • Most wedding venues are outside the centre. Guests usually stay in the city and travel out by coach, so the timing of the coaches shapes the day.
  • Spanish weddings run late: the aperitivo is long, dinner starts late and dancing goes on past midnight. Decide early how much of the night you want covered.
  • Park Güell and the Sagrada Família have timed, ticketed entry and their own rules; sessions there are booked in advance. The streets of the Gothic Quarter are best before the day’s visitors arrive.
  • Civil and religious ceremonies for couples from abroad involve paperwork; your planner or the local registry will confirm the requirements, and many couples hold a symbolic ceremony here after a legal one at home.

Most couples marrying in Barcelona book our Destination Wedding coverage, which starts from €2,950 for a full day with one photographer. Because Catalan weddings run late, we talk through the evening early; the exact price is on request and we quote it in reply to your inquiry, based on the date, the hours, the venue and the travel.

Travel and timing are planned around your wedding. We work out where the sun sits in the garden or on the terrace at your ceremony hour and how the coach route from the city fits the day; when it helps, we can arrive early to see the venue at that hour, which is agreed per inquiry. Many couples add a short session in the Gothic Quarter at dawn, on the wedding morning or the day after, for the city photographs the venue cannot give.

Travel and accommodation are quoted separately, itemised and at cost. You receive a preview set within seven days and the complete edited set within eight weeks, in a private online gallery with full-resolution downloads and a personal print release. A second photographer, a welcome dinner or a morning-after session can be added.

More questions about Barcelona

How much does a wedding photographer cost in Barcelona?
Our Destination Wedding coverage in Barcelona starts from €2,950 for a full day, with travel and accommodation quoted separately at cost. Full Day coverage for up to ten hours starts from €2,250, Half Day coverage for up to five hours from €1,450, and an elopement from €850. How late the evening runs changes the hours, so the exact quote depends on the date, hours and travel, and we send it in reply to your inquiry.
Can we have photographs at Park Güell or the Sagrada Família?
Both are ticketed with timed entry and have their own rules for photography, so a session there is booked in advance and confirmed with the site. Park Güell works best early. For the Sagrada Família, the exterior and the park in front of it are often the more practical frame.
How late do weddings in Barcelona go on?
Usually late — dinner often starts well into the evening and dancing past midnight. Our Destination Wedding coverage is a full day, and we plan it so the portrait light falls before dinner and the coverage reaches the part of the night that matters to you.
Can we elope in Barcelona?
Yes. Our elopement coverage starts from €850 for two hours with one photographer, with help planning the location and timing, and with permits where needed. Exact pricing is on request. A sunrise walk through the Gothic Quarter and down to the beach is a complete story in two hours.
When is the best time of year for a Barcelona wedding?
May, June and September. The weather is warm without the humidity of high summer, the evenings are long and the light is soft in the old streets. July and August work best at venues in the hills or by the sea rather than in the city itself.
How far ahead should we book?
For a date between May and October, nine to fifteen months ahead is typical, and the June and September Saturdays go first. Weekday dates and elopements can usually be arranged with less notice.
City venue or a castle outside Barcelona?
A castle or masia gives you gardens, space and a single location for the whole day; a city venue gives you the old streets on the doorstep. Many couples combine the two: the wedding outside the city, and a short portrait session in the Gothic Quarter on the morning before or after.

Wedding photography in Barcelona: your questions

How much does wedding photography in Barcelona cost?

Elopements start from €850 for one to two hours, a Half Day from €1,450 and a Full Day from €2,250. The final price depends on your date, location and coverage, and any travel is itemised at cost — we send an exact quote when we reply.

How far in advance should we book?

Nine to fifteen months ahead is usual for a weekend between May and October, and the most popular dates go first. Weekdays and elopements can often be arranged with less notice, so a closer date is always worth asking about.

Do you photograph intimate weddings and elopements?

Yes — often. An elopement or a wedding of a dozen guests gets the same care as a large one, with coverage from €850 for one to two hours and help choosing the places and the hour.

Can you photograph weddings at our venue?

Almost certainly. We work at venues across Barcelona and beyond, and if we have not photographed yours we plan it from the light, the layout and the timeline before the day. Tell us the venue when you check your date.

Do you travel outside Barcelona?

Yes. We photograph weddings across Spain, the rest of Europe and the United States. Travel is quoted separately, itemised and at cost, so you can see exactly what it adds.

How many photographs will we receive?

It depends on the day rather than the clock: a full day usually comes to several hundred edited photographs, an elopement fewer. We do not set a minimum, because a number becomes a target — everything worth keeping is delivered.

When will we receive our gallery?

A preview within seven days, then the complete edited gallery within eight weeks for a wedding and four weeks for an elopement, with high-resolution downloads and personal printing rights.

Do you require a deposit to book?

Yes. A short agreement and a booking deposit reserve your date, and the deposit is part of the total, not added to it. The balance is due before the wedding.

What happens if the weather changes?

We plan a covered alternative for the portraits with you before the day and adapt the timing on the day itself. Soft rain and cloud can make beautiful photographs; nobody is sent out into a storm.
