How to prepare and book your Barcelona engagement

BARCELONA VIBE

Whether it’s your first visit to this vibrant city or you’ve been here many times, we can all agree that Barcelona has a unique charm that fills every corner—from Gaudí’s architectural gems and the mysterious streets of the Gothic Quarter to the sparkling blue waters of the Mediterranean Sea.

For me, Barcelona is incredibly romantic and ideal for engagement, honeymoon, anniversary, or even a casual couple photoshoot. Even better, imagine proposing to your loved one with the stunning backdrop of Ciutadella Park, on the streets of Gothic Quarter or the breathtaking views from Montjuïc, and then the two of you set off to explore the magic of Barcelona together. How amazing would that be?

FINDING A PERFECT TIME FOR YOUR ENGAGEMENT PHOTOSHOOT IN BARCELONA

The best times for your couple and engagement photoshoot in Barcelona are around sunrise and sunset. If you’re interested in shooting at famous landmarks like Park of Ciutadella, the Sagrada Família, the Gothic Quarter or El Borne or Montjuic, I recommend starting at sunrise (time varies due to season) to capture the best light and avoid the crowds. Sunset is also beautiful, but we might need to choose less crowded locations for a smoother session.

I totally understand that getting up early can be challenging, but trust me — it’s worth it! Experiencing Barcelona in the early morning light can reveal its unique magic and charm. If rain is in the forecast and you’re not a fan, we can definitely adjust the timing to fit your preferences.

F.A.Q.

WHAT IF WE GET NERVOUS IN FRONT OF THE CAMERA?

This is an absolutely natural feeling to be awkward in front of the camera and not knowing how to pose. My approach to photography is grounded in making your experience as natural as possible. I’ll gently direct you during the engagement photo session in a natural way; we are walking, laughing, doing activities you’re comfortable with, making sure there’s no forced poses. I assure you that after a few minutes you'll be feeling comfortable and enjoying your couple photo session.

WHAT HAPPENS IF THE WEATHER FAILS?

Even though I'm always saying, “no worries, it’s sunny Barcelona”, bad weather happens here as well. I rarely had to change or cancel the session, but if heavy rains happen, it is something that is outside of myr control. I’m always in touch with you a few days before the photo session, checking out the forecast to be sure you won't get a surprise on the day of your engagement photo session in Barcelona.

WHAT SHOULD WE WEAR?

If needed, I can send you an inspirational board with ideas depending on locations you’ve chosen for your couple photo session in Barcelona. Also, I’d be happy to connect you with a local stylist if you want even more hands-on expertise.

SHOULD I GET MY HAIR AND MAKEUP DONE?

This is absolutely up to you! Depending on if you are looking for a casual look or you plan to wear an elegant dress. If needed, I’ll be happy to share contacts of entrusted makeup artists I work with.

DO YOU TRAVEL FOR ENGAGEMENT SESSIONS?

Yes, I do! While most of my engagement sessions are done in Barcelona, there are some that take place out of the city. I am happy to travel anywhere in Spain or beyond; a travel charge will apply based on the destination. Please inquire for more details on destination shoots and travel fees.

WHAT TIME OF THE DAY SHOULD WE HAVE OUR PHOTO SESSION?

I always aim to schedule your photo session during the most beautiful light of the day. Also, depending on the season this time frame is changing. You probably have heard about the “golden hour” term. It is the hour or so after the sun comes up, and before the sun goes down. My suggestion is to choose morning hours also because it’s a great chance to enjoy the empty streets of Barcelona.
