GIBRALTAR WEDDING & ELOPEMENT PHOTOGRAPHER

Are you searching for a Wedding or Event photographer in Gibraltar?

I have been covering over 170 Weddings since July 2014, I can say that I am full of advice and help for your big day.

My couples are similar and so different at the same time. I would say that they have certain similar characteristics, they prefer to spend time with their families and friends rather than spending an hour taking the couple photos, they are usually shy, they don’t feel at ease to be the center of the attention, they have a certain knowledge about art, sometimes photography and painting.

Do you want to have an intimate wedding in Gibraltar that reflects your journey as a couple, your passions, and your spirit of adventure?  

This is elopement photography for couples who want to ignore tradition and get married in a way that feels authentic to them. As a photographer, my purpose is to discreetly capture the story of your day in an honest and heartfelt way, without posing or intruding. I will record every aspect, from the raw emotions and poignant moments as they unfold, to the details you won’t want to forget.

I care deeply about creating meaningful connections with every couple who invites me to be a part of their journey. My approach is to innovate, not to conform to conventions. Your elopement experience should be as personal, genuine, and unique as you are.

Emotional Photographer documenting emotional Weddings.

Since July 2014, I document your intimate wedding, your Minimony, Sequel Wedding, Micro wedding or Adventurous Elopement, proposal, and engagement and I have seen a lot of love stories, full of joy and emotions. It has a lot of different names but only the story matters. I am moved by telling the story of your day in the most natural and genuine way possible. No need to spend one hour behind the church with me to take the couple photographs, I will always value letting you spend time with family and friends. This is your day, not mine.

Most of my couples define themselves as shy in front of the camera, I believe simply they don’t know how easy it is to spend a few simple moments with their partner in front of my camera. I will follow you from getting ready to the dance floor in the most natural way possible. To deliver a poetic and unique vision of the most important day of your life.
I have a lot of experience and expertise in traveling around Europe mostly. For the last 6 years, I have covered most of my weddings abroad and overseas.

A bit of History about Gibraltar.

Gibraltar (/dʒɪˈbrɔːltər/ jih-BRAWL-tər, Spanish: [xiβɾalˈtaɾ]) is a British Overseas Territory located at the southern tip of the Iberian Peninsula. It has an area of 6.7 km2 (2.6 sq mi) and is bordered to the north by Spain. The landscape is dominated by the Rock of Gibraltar at the foot of which is a densely populated town area, home to over 32,000 people, primarily Gibraltarians.

Gibraltar (in English : Gibraltar , AFI:  [dʒɨˈbɹɒːɫ̩tʲə] ) is a city considered as a British overseas territory located on a small peninsula at the southern end of the Iberian Peninsula , bordering only Spain , a country that claims its sovereignty . For the United Nations , Gibraltar, as a colony , is one of the Territories under their supervisionSpecial Decolonization Committee , like sixteen other cases, which does not mean that it should change its sovereignty.According to Article X of the Treaty of Utrecht , "the city and castles of Gibraltar, together with its port, defenses and fortresses" in 1713  would be a property in perpetuity of the British Crown in territory of Spanish jurisdiction, having to be offered or sold to Spain in the first place if the United Kingdom renounces or alienates said property in any way, without any closure in the event that Spain cannot pay. The isthmusBetween the rock and the other Spanish fortifications it is for Spain illegally occupied territory, according to its interpretation of the treaty, although Spain broke the treaty by attacking Gibraltar as well as the other Mediterranean territories ceded in the Treaty of Utrecht. Gibraltar is located at the southern end of the Iberian Peninsula, east of the Bay of Algeciras , and extends over the geological formation of the Rock of Gibraltar (in English : the Rock of Gibraltar or also, the Rock ), a peninsula that dominates the North shore of the homonymous strait , connecting the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean . It has a population of 33 140 inhabitants in an area of less than 7 km², with an economy based on the service sector , mainly as a financial, tourist center and free port. Taking advantage of its privileged strategic position, it has a naval air base for the British Armed Forces .Gibraltar was known in antiquity as promontory or mount Calpe (in Latin , Mons Calpe ),  one of the two mythical columns of Hercules , and later renamed as a derivation of the Arabic Ẏabal Tāriq (جبل طارق), or "mountain of Tariq" , in memory of General Táriq ibn Ziyad , who led the landing in this place of the forces of the Umayyad Caliphate of al-Walid I in 711. It was the scene of combats in the 14th and 15th centuries , within the framework of the Reconquest, and finally integrated into the Crown of Castile in 1462. In 1704 it was taken by an Anglo-Dutch squad in support of Archduke Charles , a pretender during the War of the Spanish Succession , at the end of which the British and Spanish Crowns signed the Treaty of Utrecht in 1713. Since then, the political future of Gibraltar has been the subject of controversy in Spanish-British relations .

In 1704, Anglo-Dutch forces captured Gibraltar from Spain during the War of the Spanish Succession on behalf of the Habsburg claim to the Spanish throne. The territory was ceded to Great Britain in perpetuity under the Treaty of Utrecht in 1713. During the Napoleonic Wars and World War II it was an important base for the Royal Navy as it controlled the entrance and exit to the Mediterranean Sea, the Strait of Gibraltar, which is only 14.3 km (8.9 mi) wide at this naval choke point. It remains strategically important, with half the world's seaborne trade passing through the strait. Today Gibraltar's economy is based largely on tourism, online gambling, financial services and bunkering.

The sovereignty of Gibraltar is a point of contention in Anglo-Spanish relations because Spain asserts a claim to the territory. Gibraltarians rejected proposals for Spanish sovereignty in a 1967 referendum and, in a 2002 referendum, the idea of shared sovereignty was also rejected.

Gibraltar's territory covers 6.7 square kilometres (2.6 sq mi) and shares a 1.2-kilometre (0.75 mi) land border with Spain. The town of La Línea de la Concepción, a municipality of the province of Cádiz, lies on the Spanish side of the border. The Spanish hinterland forms the comarca of Campo de Gibraltar (literally "Countryside of Gibraltar"). The shoreline measures 12 kilometres (7.5 mi) in length. There are two coasts ("Sides") of Gibraltar: the East Side, which contains the settlements of Sandy Bay and Catalan Bay; and the Westside, where the vast majority of the population lives. Gibraltar has no administrative divisions but is divided into seven Major Residential Areas.

Having negligible natural resources and few natural freshwater resources, limited to natural wells in the north, until recently Gibraltar used large concrete or natural rock water catchments to collect rainwater. Fresh water from the boreholes is nowadays supplemented by two desalination plants: a reverse osmosis plant, constructed in a tunnel within the rock, and a multi-stage flash distillation plant at North Mole.

Gibraltar's terrain consists of the 426-metre-high (1,398 ft) Rock of Gibraltar made of Jurassic limestone, and the narrow coastal lowland surrounding it. It contains many tunnelled roads, most of which are still operated by the military and closed to the general public.

Gibraltar has a Mediterranean climate (Köppen climate classification Csa), with mild, rainy winters and warm, dry summers. As is the case for nearby Algeciras and Tarifa, summers are significantly cooler and annual temperature more constant than other cities on the southern coast of the Iberian peninsula because of its position on the Strait of Gibraltar. Rain occurs mainly in winter, with summer being generally dry. Its average annual temperature is about 22 °C (72 °F) as a daily high and 15 °C (59 °F) as the overnight low. In the coldest month, January, the high temperature averages 16.3 °C (61.3 °F) and the overnight low is 11 °C (52 °F) and the average sea temperature is 16 °C (61 °F). In the warmest month, August, the daily high temperature is 25 °C (77 °F), the overnight low is 20 °C (68 °F), and the average sea temperature is 22 °C (72 °F).

Gibraltar is a narrow peninsula located on the southern Mediterranean coast of the Iberian Peninsula , between the Bay of Algeciras and the Alboran Sea , northwest of the Strait of Gibraltar . It is about 6 km long and 1.2 km wide and is connected to Spain by a low, sandy isthmus, about 2 km long.

The peninsula consists of a limestone and slate crag known as "El Peñón." It rises steeply from the isthmus to 411.5 m high at Rock Gun Battery , the northernmost summit. Its greatest height (426 m) is near its southern end. The slope of the rock descends in stages to the sea at Punta de Europa , the southernmost point of the territory, located opposite Ceuta , located 32 km to the south, on the other side of the strait. From the Mediterranean, Gibraltar appears as a series of steep and inaccessible cliffs. On the western side, the slope is more gradual and is occupied by houses located at different heights that press up to 90 m above the old fortress walls. Higher up, limestone cliffs almost isolate the top of the rock, covered by a tangle of wild trees.

Gibraltar lacks springs or rivers, so a 14-ha area of sandy slopes above La Caleta and Sandy Bay was covered to capture rainwater. It is currently in disuse and the area has been restored to its natural state. The water is stored in several wells dug into the rock of the rock. This water is subsequently mixed with water extracted from wells located in the isthmus or desalinated from sea water.
