Christine & Anthony | Pre-Wedding | Qrendi | Hagar Qim

Pre-wedding sessions are a great way for couples to capture their love and personalities before the big day. And for many, their furry friends are an important part of that love story. As a wedding photographer, I've had the pleasure of capturing many pre-wedding sessions with dogs and I can tell you, they always add a special touch of fun and personality to the photos. This was surely the case for Christine and Anthony’s pre-wedding session.

Grecia & Josef | Giardini Lambrosa | Wedding

Well, what a season 2021 was. And I couldn’t have finished better than with Grecia and Josef’s wedding. It was one of the loveliest days in December, the weather was still cold, but it was sunny all day long. Not something you would expect from a December Wedding. This was my first morning Wedding this year, and early in the morning we started off with getting ready photos at the groom and bride’s family homes.

Their wedding ceremony was at the Knisja l-Qadima, a beautiful small church in Santa Venera. Grecia and Josef picked Giardini Lambrosa to host their wedding reception, which happens to be a couple of minutes away from Mdina. We stopped at Mdina to take some couple portraits just before heading for the reception.

Abigail & Kevin | Castello Dei Baroni | Wedding

Meeting and working with couples like Abigail and Kevin, is what I love the most from my job as a wedding photographer.

Both Abigail and Kevin’s hometown is Birkirkara which gave us ample time at the bride and groom’s family homes for some getting ready shots. We then headed to the stunning St. Helen’s Basilica in Birkirkara for the ceremony. A reception followed afterwards at the historic Castello Dei Baroni in Wardija.

Desiree & Daniel | St Margaret College | Wedding

Desiree and Daniel are such a lovely couple, really laid back, relaxed with a great sense of humor. Their wedding was back in October, which happened to be one of the wettest months in 2021. Having planned an outside wedding, Desiree and Daniel had to do some last minute changes on their venue decor to install gazebos just in case a rainstorm happened on their big day. Not something you want to take care of on the day of your wedding.

Jennifer & Fillippo | Chateau Buskett | Wedding

I had the pleasure to photograph the big day of Jennifer and Fillippo.

Fillippo had his family fly to Malta from Italy, and we started off the day by taking some getting ready shots of the groom and his groomsmen at The Waterfront Hotel in Gzira. We then headed to Jennifer’s family home before making our way to the ceremony at St Catherine of Italy Chapel in Valletta. Valletta offers some stunning locations for photos, so we spent a couple of minutes in the Upper Barakka Gardens for some couple’s photos. Our final location was the magical Chateau Buskett.
