PHOTOS OF SURFER GROOM AND BRIDE ON THE BEACH
Mireia and Alex are a couple from Valencia – Spain who has held their wedding a few weeks ago. They are two solar and optimistic people who contacted me thanks to their friends Elena and Giancarlo. I have known Mireia and Alex a little more during the pre-wedding photo session that we made in Valencia, a month before their wedding. Among their hobbies are surfing, the beach and walks in nature. That’s why we decided to have a photoshoot on the beach, and then that day we continue on the Albufera.
We meet one afternoon in the natural park El Saler, a few kilometers from the city. Mireia and Alex put on again the wedding dress and suit to revive for a few hours the excitement of the big day of the wedding. Alex has brought his surfboard, and we enjoyed the afternoon light on the beach. The bride and groom get their funniest facet lending themselves to different and cheerful photos.
These are some of the photos that we made in Playa de El Saler:
Trash The Dress in Valencia in the ALBUFERA: SUNSET IN THE BOAT
POST WEDDING IN THE ALBUFERA:
Then we moved a few kilometres to do the Trash The Dress photo session in the Albufera. This natural reserve offers fabulous sunsets with magical colours. We will have a boatman to take us for a walk in the central areas of the Albufera, away from tourists and curious.
Vicént el Torrentí is the best boatman of the area, I’ve met him thanks to some friends. With years of experience sailing in Albufera, he has a comfortable boat built in the traditional way. He knows the corners of the lagoon as the palm of his hands and organizes walks in the most suitable places to take photographs with natural light. In addition to walks, Vicent also organizes dinners and group tours (In this link you can see his website)
We boarded when the sun has not yet disappeared. Luckily the day is perfect, and we are ready for the sunset show. Alex and Mireia enjoy the walk and collaborate to make some romantic and original photographs taking advantage of the different backgrounds and lights of the lagoon. Famel leads the boat with ease, and we listen around to the relaxing sounds of nature.
During the boat ride, the time for the sunset has come, when the sun reflects on the water creating a range of fantastic colors. It’s a whole experience, the beauty of nature in its purest form. We are in the longest days of the year, and there is plenty of light until ten at night. The weather is beautiful, and once the ride is over, we get off the boat before dark.
A different story that will accompany the bride and groom throughout their lives. The only downside?
Forget the mosquito repellent because there are so many of them in Albufera! Thank you very much, Mireia and Alex for your cooperation. It has been a pleasure to share this afternoon taking some unique photos.
Thanks to my assistant Jose Carlos for helping me and being patient. And thanks to Captain Vicént for leading us with his boat through these magical places.
This is a small selection of photos of the post wedding story in the Albufera of Valencia. I hope you like them!
