Rachael & Mark's Wedding

I met Rachael and Mark last January, and I go to hear all about their wedding plans. Like many other couples that were affected this year due to the pandemic, Rachael and Mark had to modify their plans for the day. Of course, this did not stop them from having a truly special and intimate wedding day, that they share with their closest family and friends. We even managed to live stream the wedding ceremony to Rachael’s family in the UK who couldn’t make it to the wedding due to the current restrictions.

Below are some of my favourites during the day…

Deborah & Joseph's Wedding

COVID-19 hit the wedding industry hard. Most 2020 weddings were postponed to 2021 and many couples had to wait an extra year to experience what would have been the best day of their life yet! Thankfully, things are getting better, so Deborah and Joseph decided to have a small intimate ceremony and a photoshoot at their favourite locations, Kuncizzjoni and Torri L-Ahmar.

Pre-Wedding at Ghar Lapsi

Just like many other couples, Katherine and Bernard had to postpone their wedding to next year due to the current COVID-19 pandemic. In order to commemorate their original wedding day, we decided to head out to Ghar Lapsi for a ‘pre-wedding’ photoshoot. Although the weather was not co-operating, we still managed to get some great shots of the couple! Really enjoyed this photoshoot, after a couple of inactive weeks, and can’t wait for the wedding season to be in full swing again!

Justine & Julian's Pre-Wedding at Ghajn Tuffieha

Just loved every minute during Justine and Julian’s pre-wedding at Ghajn Tuffieha. We had great golden hour light, and an epic sunset. To top it all off, Justine and Julian were naturals in front of the camera. Can’t wait to photograph their wedding in a few weeks! Here are some of my favourites from the shoot..

Monika & Greg - Mdina Honeymoon Photo Shoot

Monika and Greg got married in mid-November and wanted to celebrate their honeymoon in Malta. They got in touch a couple of months ago to organise a photo session. What better way to record their time here?

We decided to explore Mdina for that old-city look, and then head off to Dingli cliffs at sunset to show off some of the best landscapes Malta has to offer. Monika and Greg were both so easy going and we had such a great time exploring the city.

Our Self-Shot Pre-Wedding Photoshoot

It was time for Jennifer (my Fiancee) and myself to be in front of the camera this time, not the other way around. For some reason, I decided to shoot our own pre-wedding. I researched a bit online and found that there were a few other photographers that did shoot their own pre-wedding. Being the first time I attempted something like this, I was unsure if the photos would actually turn out how I envisioned them.

Maria Angela & James - Mdina and Sliema Pre-Wedding

Sharing a few shots from Maria and James’ pre-wedding. March is one of the best months of the year to have a pre-wedding shoot. The weather is perfect, and most locations are not yet crowded.

Since Maria and James are getting married at the Olive Gardens, overlooking Mdina, it was only natural to have their pre-wedding at Mdina. We also finished the shoot off with some sunset shots at Sliema (how to pick your pre-wedding location).

If you are still undecided whether you should have a pre-wedding shoot, here are 6 reasons why you should definitely have one.

Intimate Summer Wedding at Palazzo Nobile

Intimate Summer Wedding at Palazzo Nobile

I have always wanted to photograph a small and intimate wedding. Codie and Steve planned their wedding in the best way possible. Fun, laid back, and with their closest family and friends to celebrate their special day. With only around 35 guests present at the wedding, they had enough time to spend with everyone.

It was a Thursday afternoon in August, and as you expect in Malta, it was sun all around, and the sun set just after the ceremony. They also wanted to have a touch of Maltese tradition in their wedding. The guests travelled from DB Seabank Hotel to Palazzo Nobile with a traditional Maltese yellow bus, and later in the evening, the day was topped off with an incredible fireworks display during the cake cutting. It was the perfect setting for a British couple having their wedding in Malta.

Maria & Slavs - Post Wedding Honeymoon Shoot

Maria & Slavs approached me as they were planning their honeymoon in Malta, and wanted a photoshoot to document their time here on the island. We agreed on two beautiful locations that capture the essence of Malta. Valletta for the heritage and architecture, and Ghar Lapsi for those epic sea and cliff views at sunset. It was truly a memorable photoshoot!
