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

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 for 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.
Authenticity for Intimate Wedding and Elopement photojournalism. I have my own philosophy, my unique style, and an experience of over 170 weddings since 2014.

Do you want to have an intimate wedding in Ibiza that reflects your journey as a couple, your passions, and your spirit of adventure, or maybe in your family house?  

This is elopement photography for couples who want to ignore tradition and get married in a way that feels authentic to them. As 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.

Ibiza (in Catalan and officially Eivissa ) is an island Spanish located in the Mediterranean Sea and forming together with those of Mallorca , Menorca and Formentera and several smaller islands of the archipelago and community autonomous of the Balearic Islands . It has an area of ​​572 km² and a population of 147,914 inhabitants ( INE 2019), making it the second largest island in the Balearic Islands in terms of population after Mallorca , and the fifth in the entire country. Ibiza is also the third largest Balearic island, after Mallorca and Menorca , and the eighth in all of Spain.

The capital of the island is homonymous to it, Ibiza . Its length of coastline is 210 km, where more than 40 rocks and islets of various sizes alternate. The maximum distances of the island are 41 kilometers from north to south and 15 kilometers from east to west. It has a very irregular morphology formed by several mountains, of which the highest is Sa Talaia , located in the municipality of San José , with an altitude of 475 meters.

The island is internationally renowned for the beauty of its coves and beaches and the quality of its waters, as well as for parties and discos, which attract many tourists. The port area of Ibiza also attracts many tourists for its nightlife . 

It is located 79 km east of the Iberian peninsula , opposite Denia , 80  km southwest of the island of Mallorca , and 3 km north of Formentera , with coordinates 38.98, 1.43 . Its capital is Ibiza and the two most important towns, in addition to the capital, are San Antonio Abad and Santa Eulalia del Río , and the largest municipality, San José . 

The islands of Ibiza and Formentera , together with more than fifty islets - the largest of which is Es Vedrá , with a height of 382 m - are called the Pitiusas Islands . They form an archipelago different from the one made up of Mallorca and Menorca , although nowadays they speak of the Balearic archipelago and they are part of the same administrative unit. It occupies an area of ​​572 km² and only one river runs through it, that of Santa Eulalia del Río , the only river in the Balearic Islands, which for many years has remained dry for a good part of its length due to the excessive exploitation of the island's water resources . The highest altitude of the island is Sa Talaia with 475 meters high.

According to the Koppen climatic classification , the island of Ibiza has a warm semi-arid climate (BSh) occurs in a good part of the coastal areas of the southern half of the island and the northeast of it, especially in the southeast and northeast of the island. The cold semi-arid climate (BSk) occurs in the rest of the areas of low altitude in the southern half of the island and in the southeast of it. Finally, the Mediterranean climate (Csa) occurs in the northern half of the island (excluding the northeast) and in an inland area of ​​the southern half.

At the end of the 60s and during the 70s, the island of Ibiza enjoyed a tourist expansion that has allowed it an economic development above that provided by its traditional resources (fishing and agriculture).

Today it is a benchmark as a destination for young people from all over the world due to its busy nightlife. The island also offers numerous coves and beaches for those seeking tranquility. Artisan products are sold such as flaón, the " orelletes " or the liquor "herbs ibicencas". Adlib fashion is famous in the textile sector . There are many markets such as Es Caná and Las Dalias .
The island is divided into five municipalities and these in turn into parishes. The governing body of the autonomous community is the Balearic Government based in Palma de Mallorca (on the island of Mallorca ). At the local level, the Insular Council of Ibiza and Formentera governed Ibiza and Formentera as a territorial administration, gradually assuming more of the powers derived from the Statute of Autonomy of the Balearic Islands.with a growing financial endowment. After the statutory reform of 2007, Formentera emancipated itself from Ibiza by creating its own Insular Council and maintaining the nominal figure of its Town Hall –both corporations merged–. Its existence is founded on the old institution of the University, inherited from the Aragonese Crown , which had been dissolved after the war of the Spanish Succession at the beginning of the 18th century, being replaced by another of lesser importance, the City Council. Since then, the administration at the island level is carried out by the Ibiza Island Council .

Among the typical dishes of Ibizan cuisine include the following: made with meat are, the Sofrit pagès (lamb, chicken or both), the Arròs de matances , the Ibizan Sobrasada and the Butifarró . Those made with fish: the Borrida de ratjada (marine ray), the Tonyina a l'eivissenca ( tuna ) and the Bullit de Peix . There are also El Cuinat and Coca de Pebrera  (pepper coca).

Among the desserts: the Flaò (cheese cake), Les Orelletes , Els Bunyols and the Greixonera . Among the drinks, it is worth mentioning Las Hierbas Ibicencas , without forgetting the various brands of local wine. The wine of the land, called vino payés ( Vi pagés , in Catalan), not bottled, is the most traditional drink. In the interior of the island, in the town of San Mateo , neighbors and strangers are given to taste the harvest each year. At Christmas the so-called Nadal Sauce is popular whose main ingredient is the local almond.

The island's restaurants maintain a high standard and are an important attraction for tourism.
