Kelly & Michael | Pre-Wedding | Ghajn Tuffieha

Kelly and Michael opted to stick to just one location, and we had ample time to explore all the landscapes Ghajn Tuffieha has to offer. No wonder it’s such a popular location for pre-weddings!

I usually schedule pre-weddings around a month or two before the wedding day, however, Kelly and Michael decided to have their session a year before their wedding date to officially kick off a year-to-go countdown. Great idea!

Roseanne & Paul | Pre-Wedding | Ghajn Tuffieha

Pre-wedding photography sessions are a great opportunity for couples to get comfortable in front of the camera before their big day. It's also a chance for the photographer to get to know the couple and understand their personalities and preferences. Recently, I had the pleasure of photographing Roseanne and Paul, who were absolutely thrilled for their pre-wedding session.

From the moment they arrived, it was clear that Roseanne and Paul were excited and ready to have fun.As we walked around the location, I could see the chemistry between them. They were constantly laughing and joking, and this made my job so much easier. They were so natural and relaxed in front of the camera, which made it easy for me to capture candid and intimate moments.

One of the most memorable moments of the pre-wedding session was when the couple decided to brave the cold water for some unique shots. Despite the relatively cold temperatures, they were willing to go all in for the sake of getting beautiful photographs.

It was a pleasure, and I couldn't be more excited for their upcoming wedding!

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.

Maria and Luke decided to have their pre-wedding photoshoot in the charming city of Birgu. They opted for just one location, which gave us ample time to fully explore Birgu and capture a wide variety of shots.

Despite Luke's initial hesitation about having his photos taken, he quickly found himself at ease in front of the camera. With Maria by his side, he was able to relax and have fun during the shoot.

Throughout the shoot, Maria and Luke were a joy to be around, and their fun-loving nature shone through in the photos. Hope you enjoy a snippet of their lovely pre-wedding!

Katherine & Bernard | Pre-Wedding | Aurora Theatre | Salt Pans

Katherine and Bernard had been planning their pre-wedding photo shoot for a couple of years. They chose the beautiful island of Gozo for their shoot and I was thrilled to join them. We started the day at the Aurora Theatre, a stunning venue located in the heart of Victoria. The theatre, built in the early 1900s, has a rich history and features intricate details such as marble staircases and ornate balconies.

After exploring the theatre, we made our way to the Salt Pans, a breathtaking location known for its crystal clear waters, and rugged coastline. The salt pans, which have been in operation for centuries, offer a unique and dramatic backdrop for photographs.

Katherine and Bernard were a joy to work with, their love and affection for each other shining through in every shot. I hope you enjoy these highlights from their pre-wedding photo shoot

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.

Here are some of my favourite moments from the day.
