Why the Engagement Session Matters
The engagement session isn’t just a “bonus”, it’s a strategic part of your wedding photography experience: Builds comfort: You get used to being in front of my camera Tests our working relationship: We learn how to communicate and collaborate Creates beautiful images: For save-the-dates, wedding websites, guest books Informs the wedding day: I learn your best angles, your natural interactions, your comfort zones

The Experience
I recommend viewing your gallery over several days, not in one sitting. Let the emotions settle. Notice the moments you forgot. Discover the details you missed. The gallery is designed to be experienced, not just viewed. What couples say: “I cried three times going through our gallery. Not just at the big moments, at the tiny ones I didn’t even know happened. Our photographer saw everything.”
Phase 9: Album Design (Week 6 to 14)
If You Ordered an Album Week 6 to 8: - You select your favorite 60 to 100 images (or I select based on our consultation) - I begin designing your album, following a narrative structure Week 8 to 10: - First draft delivered digitally - We schedule a video call to review the design together - You can swap images, adjust layouts, add or remove spreads Week 10 to 12: - Revisions completed based on your feedback - Final design approved - Sent to my trusted album lab for production Week 14 to 16: - Album arrives - I deliver it personally (when possible) or ship it insured with tracking - The moment you hold it, that’s when it becomes real
Phase 10: The Relationship Continues
Beyond the Wedding My relationship with couples doesn’t end when the album arrives. Many of my past clients: - Return for anniversary sessions: In Barcelona or wherever life takes them - Refer friends and family: The highest compliment I can receive - Stay in touch: Through Instagram, email, or occasional coffee when they’re in town - Share their lives: I love seeing babies, new homes, career milestones
The Long View
Your wedding photos aren’t just for today. They’re for: - Your first anniversary: When you pull out the album and relive the day - Your fifth anniversary: When you notice details you missed the first time - Your tenth anniversary: When you show the photos to your children - Your fiftieth anniversary: When the photos are more precious than ever I’m not just your wedding photographer. I’m the person who helps you hold onto this moment forever.
Ready to Start Your Barcelona Wedding Photography Journey?
If you’re planning a Barcelona wedding and want a photographer who: - Responds quickly and personally - Guides you through every step - Delivers beautiful, timeless images - Becomes a trusted friend, not just a vendor Let’s start with a conversation. Tell me your story, your vision, and your date, and I’ll walk you through exactly how we can create something beautiful together.
How far in advance should we book you? For peak season (May to October), 12 to 18 months is ideal. For off-season or elopements, 6 to 9 months is usually sufficient. Popular dates (June Saturdays, September weekends) book up fastest.
Can we book you without a consultation? Technically yes, but I don’t recommend it. The consultation ensures we’re a good fit, personality, style, vision. It’s as much for you as it is for me.
What if we need to reschedule our wedding? Life happens. My contract includes rescheduling options. If your new date is available, we transfer your booking at no extra cost. If I’m unavailable, I help you find a replacement photographer.
How do we access our online gallery? You receive a private link and password. The gallery is accessible from any device, phone, tablet, computer. You can download images, share the link with family, and mark favorites.
Can we order prints through you? Yes. I offer professional printing services with archival-quality materials. However, your print release allows you to print anywhere you like, at home, at a local lab, or through my professional service.
Do you keep our photos forever? I archive wedding galleries for a minimum of 2 years. After that, I recommend you keep your own backups. I can provide raw files or additional copies upon request.
What if we want additional editing after delivery? Minor adjustments (exposure, cropping) are included. Extensive retouching or creative edits can be arranged at an additional cost. I’m always happy to discuss your vision.
