A Passion for Storytelling Through Photography
Hi, I’m Kitija, a destination wedding and elopement photographer based in Valencia, Spain, and I’m so excited to welcome you to my blog! Whether you’re a newly engaged couple planning a wedding or elopement, a hopeless romantic (like me!), or someone who simply loves beautiful love stories, you’re in the right place.
Photography, for me, is more than just images - it’s about capturing emotions, fleeting moments, and the unique energy of each couple’s love story. I believe that photos should transport you back to a feeling, a moment, a memory that you’ll cherish for a lifetime.
My photography journey has taken me across Spain, Mallorca, Malta, and beyond, capturing love in breathtaking landscapes, historic cities, and hidden gems filled with magic. Through this blog, I want to share real wedding stories, tips for couples planning destination weddings, behind-the-scenes insights, and so much more.
So, to start, let me tell you a little more about how I fell in love with wedding and elopement photography.
How I Fell in Love with Wedding & Elopement Photography
I’ve always been drawn to emotional storytelling, whether through writing, film, or capturing moments in time. There’s something deeply magical about witnessing two people commit to forever, surrounded by the beauty of their chosen location.
My passion for wedding and elopement photography started when I realized how much I loved capturing authentic, raw emotions - the way a groom’s eyes light up when he sees his bride for the first time, the quiet tears of a parent, the deep belly laughs between friends celebrating love.
I quickly fell in love with elopements in particular. Unlike traditional weddings, elopements allow couples to focus entirely on each other, choosing stunning, intimate locations that feel meaningful to them. Whether it’s standing on a rugged cliffside in Mallorca, saying vows in an ancient Spanish finca, or exchanging rings on a quiet beach in Malta, elopements strip away all the extra noise and leave room for the most important thing - love.
That’s what I aim to capture in every single frame.
Why Spain & Mallorca Are Perfect for a Destination Wedding or Elopement
If you’ve ever dreamed of getting married in Spain, I don’t blame you—this country is one of the most stunning wedding destinations in the world. Spain has something for every couple, from grand wedding venues to remote, untouched landscapes perfect for intimate elopements.
Whether you’re drawn to the historic streets of Valencia, the golden beaches of Mallorca, or the dramatic cliffs of the Spanish coastline, there’s no shortage of breathtaking locations.
1. Stunning Locations for Every Style
One of the reasons Spain is such a popular wedding and elopement destination is because it has such a diverse range of landscapes:
Historic Castles & Villas – Perfect for elegant, timeless weddings.
Mediterranean Beaches – For couples dreaming of a romantic sunset ceremony.
Mountain Peaks & Clifftops – Ideal for adventurous elopements.
Lush Vineyards & Countryside – A dreamy option for intimate celebrations.
Mallorca, in particular, is one of my favorite places to photograph elopements. Its rugged coastline, turquoise waters, and charming Spanish villages make it a perfect elopement destination for couples who want something a little more wild and romantic.
2. The Best Time of Year to Get Married in Spain
While Spain is beautiful year-round, the best months for a wedding or elopement are:
Spring (April - June) – Pleasant temperatures, lush landscapes, and fewer crowds.
Fall (September - October) – Warm golden light, comfortable weather, and a romantic atmosphere.
Summer can be stunning but also very hot, especially in regions like Andalucía and Mallorca, so if you’re eloping, I’d recommend planning a sunrise or sunset ceremony to avoid the midday heat.
3. How to Make Your Elopement in Spain Unique
One of the best things about eloping is that you’re free to make the day entirely yours. Here are a few ideas to make your wedding or elopement extra special:
✔ Choose a Meaningful Location – Whether it’s the place you first traveled together or somewhere that reflects your love for adventure, pick a spot that feels like YOU.
✔ Write Your Own Vows – Personalized vows make your ceremony incredibly intimate and emotional.
✔ Plan an Adventure Together – Whether it’s a boat ride along the Spanish coast, hiking to a secluded viewpoint, or a post-ceremony tapas celebration, add a touch of adventure to your day.
✔ Hire a Photographer Who Understands Your Vision – That’s where I come in! 😉 I love helping couples create an elopement that feels effortless, stress-free, and full of love.
