Costa Brava Wedding Photographer
Weddings and elopements from the gardens of Blanes to the white streets of Cadaqués, and the villages and castles of the Empordà.
Where the Mediterranean still feels wild
The Costa Brava has been part of my work since 2010. Gardens hanging over the water in Blanes, castles and stone villages in the Empordà, quiet coves you can only reach on foot or by boat. It is one of the most beautiful places in Europe to get married, and every corner of it has its own rhythm.
As a wedding photographer on the Costa Brava and in Girona, I plan each day around that rhythm: where the sun drops behind the pines, which terrace stays warm after sunset, how long the walk down to the water really takes in a wedding dress. Knowing the place is what lets me stay quiet and close on the day, and be in the right spot when something happens.
My style is natural by nature and editorial by eye. Most of the day I document what happens, honestly and without interrupting. When it is time for the photographs you will want to keep forever, I make them easy, relaxed and beautifully composed.
Real weddings on the Costa Brava
From Blanes to Cap de Creus
The Costa Brava runs from Blanes, an hour from Barcelona, up to Cap de Creus and Cadaqués near the French border, with the Empordà and Girona just inland.
Weddings in Girona and the Empordà
Just inland from the coast, the Empordà is a landscape of stone villages, olive groves and old farmhouses, with castles like Caramany and hotels like Castell d’Empordà. The light here is different from the coast: wider, warmer, with long shadows over the fields at the end of the day.
I photograph weddings across the province of Girona, from masias near the city of Girona to the villages around La Bisbal and Pals, and plan the day with the same care for the light and the timings as on the coast.

Getting married on the Costa Brava from abroad
Most of the couples I photograph on the Costa Brava come from abroad: the United Kingdom, the United States, Ireland, the Netherlands. Many of them plan with a wedding planner, and I am used to working as part of their team.
The coast is easy to reach. Girona airport is a short drive from Blanes and Lloret, and Barcelona airport is around an hour away. Many couples turn the wedding into a weekend: a welcome party on Friday, the wedding on Saturday and a brunch or a pool party on Sunday. I can photograph the whole weekend.
Whether you are planning a celebration for a hundred and fifty people in a castle in the Empordà or a quiet elopement on the rocks of Cap de Creus, the approach is the same: honest, close, and with an eye for the light that makes this coast so special.
Planning a Costa Brava wedding around the light
- Late afternoon
Ceremony
Once the midday heat has gone and the sea turns soft blue behind you.
- Sunset minus two hours
Cocktail by the sea
Guests move between the terrace and the view. Family photographs take a few minutes, well organised.
- Golden hour
Portraits
A short walk while the light is warm and low over the water.
- Blue hour
Dinner & party
Candles, the last blue light under the pines, and a dance floor that fills up fast.
