Pre wedding celebration // Mehndi in Glasgow, Scotland

Celebrating the brides and grooms Mehndi! The west end of Glasgow is full of beautiful streets and lovely little private gardens. The bride had found this little door frame with a lot of flowers and we decided to snap a couple of this gorgeous wedding couple. What I love about Glasgow weddings is that there is so much to do photography wise, literally everywhere you look is a beautiful street after another. I can not wait till Saturday for their wedding day!

She said yes!! // Engagement session in Cortona, Tuscany

Documentary style photography story about a proposal in Cortona, Tuscany! Little did we know that he had something hidden in his jacket pocket. We got to the hill having conversations about our trips and we found the most perfect photo location for these two. I took a couple of photos with my film camera and then Nadav asked if we could take a photo with his phone as well. While the girlfriend Amit was admiring the views he ran back and bent down on one knee. Needless to say after these photos she said yes! ✨

Making most of your elopement trip // Family photoshoot Marsaskala, Malta

This is a little story of a family documentary style family photoshoot on an elopement trip to Malta. Before the sunrise, we embarked on our journey to reach our photoshoot location in Malta. As the sun began to peek over the horizon, the scene was simply perfect! The serene blue hour just before sunrise painted a breathtaking picture, and we relished a delightful stroll around the headland in Marsaskala. Our family sessions are always infused with natural moments, capturing the essence of the present. Engrossed in the beauty of the sunrise, we found ourselves gazing towards the horizon and exploring the surrounding nature. This is what family sessions are truly about—capturing fleeting moments to cherish forever.

Photographer headshots with 35mm Canon Eos 300v // La Barrosa, Chiclana de la Frontera

I tell people I’m a destination wedding and elopement photographer with documentary style but I haven’t found a name for actually what I am. I love to capture people, tell their stories in different parts of their life, photograph their journey with real moments. I love my pregnancy photoshoots, small brand shoots, couples on the beach, people doing things they are passionated about, families on a forest walk and my selflove portrait shoots. Growth, emotions and stories with people. I’m based in Malaga area, in Chiclana de la Frontera and Madrid. Although as a destination wedding photographer I photograph all around Europe and this year will visit, London, Glasgow, Montalcino in Tuscany and Finland so far!

Wedding in the hills of Malaga, Villa Bermeja // Chloe & Jordan

Welcome to the wedding day filmed in the country side of Andalucia in Jerez de la Frontera. For the beautiful wedding couple I really wanted to capture the emotions, the deep connections and the vulnerability when the two of them met in front of the arch in the ceremony space. It all felt so special and I felt so grateful to be a part of their magical day. These two really deserved to have the best day of their lives surrounded by their friends and family. Saray and Ivan have the most beautiful calm and powerful energy and with that I think they can do anything they set their minds to.

Not just sports // Muay Thai photography in Chiclana de la Frontera

It’s not just sports. It’s emotions, it’s friendship, hard work and so much more. Thank you for all the fighters and thank you for Roman Marcial for organizing such a cool event in our muay thai gym at Chiclana de la Frontera.

What I can say about the photography is that I practise this A LOT. I also do muay thai myself so it is a little bit easier to spot the things I’m looking for. But mostly I trust on super fast shutter speed on my Canon R6 and keep it at above 800/1. And have fun, the days are always full of action!

Elopement, Malta //Meri & Miika

This was one of my favourite shoots that I have ever done… Welcome to the elopement of Meri and Miika! These first wedding portraits have been taken on the most beautiful cliff in Malta. We started planning this shoot with the bride who is also a good friend of mine, it took about half a year from the idea to this magical evening. Meri has always been so good at anything what she takes on and it was so cool to see this idea come life. I really love to see when people take time for each other and organise a small gathering to celebrate love for each other.

Beachy portrait photoshoot // Fuerteventura, Canary Islands

Welcome to a portrait photoshoot in the beautiful Canary Islands, Fuerteventura. We made our way to the north side of the island and found a super pretty beach with a yellow life guard tower. I immediately fell in love with the scene and decided that Aroha absolutely needs a photoshoot in this locations. It was such 90’s vibes with the colours or the swimsuit and the style of the life guard tower.

Hi there from the photographer // Chiclana de la Frontera

…That’s how I fell in love with living with my camera, finding my own style to capture the world and connecting with the people in front of my camera. I learned to live with something that made my life better. Have to say that I’m so grateful to my mum for taking me to different countries when I was younger and showing me not to be scared. Now I’m living between Chiclana de la Frontera and Kotka, Finland. And now I’m here doing my dream job as a wedding and elopement photographer.
