I’ve created this Ibiza wedding photography guide to cover everything you need to know about working with me, from how to book to what happens on and after your dream day. If you don’t see the answer to your question here, just get in touch at info@ibizaphotography.com and I’ll get straight back to you

During Your Ibiza Wedding

What happens on the day of the wedding?
In short, my goal is to blend in seamlessly. I want you to enjoy every moment without worrying about the photography. I’ll guide you through key moments—like portraits and group shots—while ensuring everything feels natural and relaxed. For candid shots, I’ll be in the background, capturing real moments without you even noticing.

We don’t want to spend hours taking photos. Will it take up too much of our time?
I don’t want you to spend ages away from your guests. We’ll plan ahead so that you can have a balance of natural portraits and time to enjoy your day with your loved ones. I aim to keep things quick, relaxed, and efficient, without interrupting the flow of your celebration. You’ll have enough time and still get beautiful photos that reflect all the key moments and the day itself perfectly.

How do you get those natural, candid shots without us feeling awkward?
All couples have doubts when it comes to their personal photos, so I’m all about making you feel comfortable. I’ll help you with relaxed, guided moments that you can have fun with, but most of the time, you won’t even notice me. I love to document meaningful glimpses as they happen, the laughter, the love, and the small details in between. You’ll look and feel at ease—you enjoy the moment, and I’ll capture it!

How do you manage group photos and family portraits?
Group photos are important, but I keep them organised and stress-free. We create a list of the key shots you want and also assign a couple of people to help me from your group. That will help guide everyone into place quickly. With a little pre-planning, we can get beautiful family portraits without feeling rushed or distracted from the celebrations. The sweet spot for group photos is between 10-15 with up to 8 guests at your sides. It can be very hot and it can take 2-3 minutes to set up each shot, so let’s get this bit out of the way as quickly as possible whilst still achieving lovely photos.

Will you capture all the special moments during the day?
Absolutely. I’m there to document all the important moments. You won’t have to worry about missing a thing as we will have had a chat about what moments and people should feature the most. All of those personal touches and important details that you’ve spent time planning into your day will be covered.

After Your Wedding – What Happens Next

When will we receive our photos?
You can expect your full gallery in around 4 weeks, but a sneak peak preview is available within 2-3 days so you will have between 20-40 images to share quickly.

What’s the editing process like?
I take a thoughtful approach to editing. My style is all about enhancing the natural beauty of your day. Your colours will be natural, vibrant and true to life, while ensuring your photos look timeless. Each image is carefully edited with attention to detail, but I keep things authentic so your photos feel as natural and beautiful as the moments they capture.

How will we receive our photos?
You’ll receive your photos via a private online gallery. It’s easy to access from any device, and you can download your high-resolution images directly to a laptop, pc or hard drive. The gallery also includes the option to order prints, if you’d like to preserve your memories in a more personal way.

Can we share our photos on social media right away?
Yes, absolutely! Once your gallery is ready, you’ll have the option to share your favourite photos immediately. I also create a sneak peak of 20-40 images and a social media-ready vertical photo reel, perfect for sharing, so you can show off those beautiful moments right away with your loved ones.

Do you offer albums or prints?
While albums and prints aren’t included, they are available as optional add-ons. If you’d love to have a beautifully designed album to showcase your memories, just let me know! I’ll guide you through the process to create something truly special.

Ibiza Wedding Photography Guide – Other Questions

Why should we hire a local Ibiza wedding photographer for our wedding?
Hiring an Ibiza-based wedding photographer for your wedding ensures you’re working with someone who knows the island intimately. I understand the best locations, lighting, and cultural nuances, making sure you get the most stunning and authentic photos that truly reflect your special day. Most importantly, I think is that I also know where the venues are and how to get there in good time. I am also here, so there’s no my flight got delayed or cancelled so I’m going to miss the wedding moments… these do happen btw.

How much does Ibiza wedding photography cost?
The cost of Ibiza wedding photography varies depending a few factors. Time, venues, if there is travel between sites, size of group. My photography is designed to be flexible & prices reflect the time, effort, and the quality product you’ll receive. Get in touch to discuss your plans, and I’ll provide you with a no-obligation quote tailored to your day. Or you can read more in this helpful article 

What makes your Ibiza wedding photography style unique?
My wedding photography style is a blend of documentary and natural portrait photography. I think what makes it so unique is my focus on relationships and connections. I work hard to capture the emotions and meaningful moments that happen naturally, whilst also guiding you to feel comfortable and relaxed in front of the camera.

What should we wear for our wedding photos?
For your wedding photos, choose outfits that make you feel confident, comfortable, and true to your style. Light, airy fabrics work great in natural light, and solid colours are timeless. I’m happy to offer guidance based on your venue and theme to make sure your outfits look amazing in photos.

How do we book you for our wedding?
Booking is easy! Simply reach out with your wedding details, and we’ll set up a call to discuss your vision. Once you’ve decided to move forward, I’ll send you a contract to confirm your date. A deposit secures your booking, and then we can start planning your perfect wedding photography experience 🙂

Elixir Ibiza Weddings FAQs

Is Elixir a private venue just for weddings?

Yes — and that’s what makes it so special. Elixir is Ibiza’s only dedicated wedding venue, meaning it’s designed purely with weddings in mind. There are no walk-in tourists, no hotel guests, just you and your loved ones. So you can enjoy an exclusive celebration in a stunning seaside location.

Can we have our entire wedding day at Elixir – from ceremony to dinner and dancing?

Absolutely. Elixir is a full-service venue that allows you to host your ceremony, drinks reception, dinner, and evening party all in one place. Everything flows beautifully from one part of the day to the next, and the team is brilliant at making sure the whole day feels seamless and relaxed.

What are the views like, and will we get a good sunset?

The views are what couples love the most! Elixir overlooks a quiet cove just beyond Cala Conta, offering uninterrupted sea views and a magical angle on the famous Ibiza sunset. And yes — the ceremony terrace has that iconic view of Es Vedrà. It’s pretty unforgettable.

How easy is it for guests to get to the venue?

It feels secluded but it’s very accessible. Elixir feels hidden and peaceful, but it’s easy to reach by car or minibus. Most couples arrange transport for their guests, and the venue is well set up for that, there are no long walks or tricky roads involved.

Are there places to stay somewhere nearby?

Yes – loads! While Elixir itself doesn’t offer accommodation, there are plenty of great options nearby, from boutique hotels and villa rentals to family hotels in San Antonio Bay which is only a 15 minute drive. Your guests will have a great range of choices to suit different styles and budgets.

Photography FAQs

Have you photographed weddings at Elixir before?

Yes, I have, lots! And it’s one of my favourite venues. I know all the best spots for photos and how the light shifts throughout the day. I’ve also worked closely with the team there for many years, which helps everything flow really smoothly behind the scenes.

Can you help with planning the timeline for photos?

Yes – and it’s one of the things couples tell me they appreciate most. I’ll guide you through when to do group photos, couple portraits, and sunset shots without disrupting the fun. My goal is always to make space for gorgeous moments without turning your wedding into a photo shoot.

What’s your photography style?

Natural, relaxed, and a little bit romantic. I mix candid storytelling with a few gentle poses to give you a beautiful record of your day — full of real moments, laughter, happy tears, and all the love around you. Nothing too stiff, nothing too staged.

We’re a bit camera shy – will that be a problem?

Not at all. Most of my couples say this, and then end up loving the process. I give just enough direction to help you feel confident without making anything awkward. By the end of the day, you’ll forget the camera’s even there.

• Can Gall
• Cas Mila
• Atzaro & Atzaro Beach

The Venues:

Elixir Ibiza, Cala Codolar

Where: Close to the sunset beaches of Cala Conta on Ibiza’s west coast. Elixir is tucked away along a winding track and enjoys its own beach and cove.

This venue is run so smoothly you’ll feel like you’ll never want the day to end! Take a look at their 5* Google Reviews to get more of an insight into why this Ibiza Wedding Venue is so popular.

Can Gall.

Where: a 30-minute drive from Ibiza Airport, making it a convenient choice for you and your guests. Its central location means you’re always within easy reach of Ibiza’s stunning beaches and lively towns—yet the venue itself feels like a peaceful retreat, far from the island’s hustle and bustle.

Why: Cas Mila has sweeping sea views with gorgeous sunsets and an amazing staircase for the best bridal arrival on the island! This venue isn’t exclusive but has worked hard to provide private areas for all parts of the wedding day, the new rooftop terrace is perfect for the wedding meal and is a great addition to this venue.

Atzaro & Atzaro Beach

Where: Atzaro Agroturismo Hotel is located in the Ibiza Countryside close to San Carlos. Atzaro Beach can be found on Cala Nova Beach in Es Cana.
Why: Atzaro and Atzaro Beach are both beautiful Ibiza Wedding Venues and all the events are run by a very professional team of planners. Atzaro is a hidden gem perfect for lovers of the Ibiza heartland. Ceremonies are held in the pretty garden area or by the stunning pool which is set in its own orange grove. The rest of the day is spent in the grounds of the hotel which are simply beautiful.

Atzaro Beach is set right on Cala Nova Beach and combines rustic charm with a modern feeling. This venue is a touch more laid back than Atzaro but the standard of service is still 5*

Hacienda Na Xamena. San Miguel.

Where: Near San Miguel, set on tumbling cliffs impossibly high above the sea.
Why: Weddings at the Hacienda are simply amazing. Ceremonies take place in their own amphitheatre with uninterrupted sea views.

Common Woes & How to Avoid Them

Hey lovebirds! Planning an Ibiza wedding is an epic adventure, but let’s be real – it’s also a whirlwind of excitement and potential pitfalls. Today, we’re diving into some common Ibiza wedding regrets and sharing expert tips to ensure your special day is everything you’ve dreamed of and more.

Common Ibiza Wedding Regrets – At a Glance

Based on my years of capturing unforgettable moments, here are some of the most frequent regrets I’ve heard from couples:

• Guest List Drama: Inviting everyone can be tempting, and you may feel some pressure to include certain people. But the beauty of a destination wedding often means a smaller, handpicked guest list. Prioritise those closest to you.
• Underestimating Costs: Beyond the venue and flights, hidden expenses can sneak up on you. Create a detailed budget and add a cushion.
• Overlooking the Heat: Ibiza is sunny and gorgeous, however it is also very hot. Don’t underestimate this for yourselves or your guests.
• Not Hiring a Planner: A local wedding planner can be a lifesaver, especially in unfamiliar territory. They know the best vendors and can handle the stress.
• Cutting Costs on Hair and Makeup: Friends may kindly offer to help with this and it may be tempting to just do your own makeup. The difference is ALWAYS obvious when professional make up hasn’t been used, take it from me.
• Not Enough Buffer Time: Your wedding day is incredible, but it can fly by and things just take longer. It’s easy to fall behind on the schedule which can impact on other important parts of the day.

No Regrets! How to Make Sure Your Ibiza Wedding Runs Smoothly.

Limiting Your Guest List Creates a More Meaningful Wedding.
This one is up there with budget for giving the most grief to couples on their wedding day. One of the most common regrets couples express is feeling overwhelmed by the sheer number of guests. With an Ibiza wedding, a limited guest list naturally narrows down to the people who are truly close to you, creating a more meaningful celebration with less stress. Fewer guests mean you can connect with each person there, sharing more personal moments rather than rushing from one group to the next. This setup allows you to truly enjoy the company of your nearest and dearest without feeling the pressure of managing a large crowd. In my experience the ideal number is between 45-60 guests if you’re looking for a wedding with a party included, or you can go smaller, 2-20, if you would like to keep things super intimate and personalised.
See my Ibiza Small Wedding Guide for more info on this.

Stay on Budget.
These are some costs to watch:
Unanticipated Vendor Fees
Many venues and some hotels, especially resorts, add fees for bringing in outside vendors like photographers, hair and make up artists, florists, or catering teams. Fees can range widely, so factor this into your budget from the start to avoid last-minute surprises. If you have to fork out for a day pass for your vendors and 6 bridesmaids who are staying in another hotel, that can be really expensive!
Travel and Transportation Costs
It’s tempting to cut costs here and suggest that guests arrive at your venue by taxi, this can be a big mistake and can have an huge impact on your day. Taxis in Ibiza are notoriously unreliable so booking transport for yourselves and for your guests is essential. Your venue or planner will be able to organise this for you, trust what they suggest, this is a really important element of your day to budget for!
Bridal Party Obligations
It’s so lovely to be surrounded by your favourite people as your bridal party and if you want 8 bridesmaids and 8 groomsmen then you should certainly have them. However, it’s generally accepted that you pay for their outfits, so don’t forget to make sure you have the budget for this before you ask them! Personalised gifts are also a nice touch during the getting ready part of the day so this may be an additional expense to have in mind.

VAT (IVA) and Bank Transfer Fees
Some quotes you’ll receive are without VAT, don’t forget to double check it’s included as adding 21% on to some figures can make a massive difference. Bank transfer fees can also be steep, I recommend using services such as Wise or Revolut to cut down on these extra and unnecessary outgoings. Finally, some Ibiza vendors will ask for their payment in cash euros when you arrive. This is something to really pay attention to, if you have to go to your bank and withdraw a last minute large amount it could end up being complicated. Keep an eye on this as the amounts can soon add up and definitely don’t leave it until you get here as cash machines can only give out 300e/day.

Underestimating the Heat
You’ve booked Ibiza for your wedding so you can be sure of sunshine and the most beautiful backdrops, but the one of the Ibiza wedding regrets that I hear a lot about is just how hot it can get. It still surprises me all these years on! The heat is perfectly manageable but it can really get in your face if you and your guests aren’t prepared, so here are my own top tips to make sure you all enjoy the whole day:
Drink lots of water & don’t forget to eat. 
It sounds so simple and silly to mention, but with all those fizzy drinks flying about and people bringing you cocktails etc, water gets forgotten. Plan on hydration breaks every hour and if you feel giddy go straight for the full fat coke, it’ll sort you out in moments trust me Most couples also forget to eat, what with it all being a whirlwind. It can be a good idea to assign a bridesmaid the task of reminding you to eat and drink so you don’t forget.

Further Reading… How to keep cool at your Ibiza wedding

Do you really need a wedding planner?
There are 100s of posts that will tell you how easy it is to plan your own wedding and why eliminating a planner is a great idea. In some cases this can be true, but if you are booking a full wedding day with various elements & suppliers that need to come together perfectly, then it’s essential for you to have a professional on board. Ibiza is blessed with excellent people who will literally streamline your day and take care of all the stresses for you. It’s hard to imagine how many moving parts there are to a wedding day and organising from abroad over email and video call can get frustrating. Consider leaving the heavy admin work to someone else so you can concentrate on the fun stuff & avoid having any Ibiza wedding regrets in the lead up to the day.

Professional Hair & Make Up – It seems pricey, can’t you just do it yourself?
This is one area where I have a strong opinion, do not do your own make up. You won’t be comfortable and the camera won’t like it! I’ve seen many brides and bridesmaids who are perfectly proficient at doing their own makeup at home, however when done here it just doesn’t work, it doesn’t stay on and it ends up streaked. This is one thing that’s worth the investment and you’ll know that both you and your bridesmaids will look amazing all day long.

Adding in Extra Time
You may heard of the 30/5 rule? It’s a good one to hold on to. You won’t believe this until you’re in it, but what takes 5 minutes in real life really will take around 30 minutes on your wedding day. Going to the toilet, moving around your venue, getting a few people together for a photo, all of these things can take an absolute age and play havoc with your timeline if you haven’t factored in some buffer. It’s a lovely thing, but everyone will want to talk to you as you pass by, they’ll also all want photos with you, so any thoughts of just nipping off to have a look at your tables before dinner or a quick visit to the loo will all take much longer than you think! Between each element of your day such as arrival at your venue and the ceremony itself, or after your drinks and canapes and before your meal, factor in some buffer time, that way you’re not behind before you’ve started.

The Knot has a great article on the 30/5 rule and some handy wedding timeline advice

Ibiza Wedding Regrets – In Conclusion

Planning an Ibiza wedding can be a great experience, but it’s easy to overlook some of the challenges—like hidden costs and logistical hurdles—that can affect your big day. By hiring local experts like a wedding planner and photographer, managing your guest list, and accounting for potential fees, you can ensure your Ibiza wedding goes off without a hitch.

Taking the time to plan carefully and stay on top of your budget will allow you to enjoy a more intimate, personalised celebration, making memories with your closest friends and family. Whether it’s managing costs or choosing the right professionals, there’s no need to face it all alone.

Ibiza Wedding Celebrants. Who they are and what can they offer your ceremony

Did you know that before the 1500s we could marry ourselves? I don’t mean get married to ourselves, although I know some people who would do that. I mean we could just declare ourselves as a couple, married. These days we have professionals to do this job for us, which is just as well. 

Ibiza weddings have enjoyed increasing popularity over the last 10 years. This popularity means a healthy choice of suppliers is now at your disposal. Ibiza wedding celebrants, once just an add-on in many a wedding package, are now offering some amazing and personal options for your wedding. So how can you choose which one is best for you? 

These are the Ibiza Wedding Celebrants you need to know about and I’ve asked them all the same 3 questions

Meet The Ibiza Wedding Celebrants:

Carly Marie – Ibiza Celebrant
https://www.yourdayibiza.com/
@ibizacelebrant

In her own words Carly came to Ibiza due to  “a friend betting us that the boat we were living on back in 2011 couldn’t make it all the way to Ibiza”. We won the bet (we being myself and husband Mike…also my childhood sweetheart.) and fell so in love with the island that we decided to stay”

• Describe your ceremonies in 50 words or less:

“My style is relaxed, modern, warm, personal, genuine and fun. I think ceremonies need a balance of sweetness, sincerity and romance combined with lightness and laughter. I love working with couples to make their ceremony reflect them…their day, their way! 

• How do you plan and produce an Ibiza Wedding Ceremony for your couples? 

We communicate via email, WhatsApp and video calls to suit and I send out a questionnaire and link to a private page of our Your Day Ibiza website with their booking confirmation.
If a couple have booked a ‘Written for you ceremony’, I will also contact their friends and family to get a picture of what they are like as a couple and individuals and for any anecdotes or kind words to include. This helps to make a ceremony even more personal and although more time consuming is my favourite type of ceremony to perform.  

• Favourite quote about Love:

“We are here to love each other. That’s why we are alive. That’s what life is for.”
Maya Angelou

Sam Hocking 
http://www.weddingceremoniesibiza.com/
@wedding.ceremonies.ibiza

One of our most experienced Ibiza Celebrants, Sam has lived in Ibiza for almost 30 years and started doing music for wedding ceremonies with her husband Johnny over 20 years ago. Some of the catholic ceremonies they attended as musicians ended up with Sam translating for the Spanish priest!

• Describe your ceremonies in 50 words or less:

An elegant, personal and emotional wedding ceremony with a simple traditional structure. Involving family and friends so they too play an important role in the joining of two people and two families.

• How do you plan and produce an Ibiza Wedding Ceremony for your couples? 

After the initial contact with a couple, I arrange a video call with them. I feel it’s important that they like me. Seems like this is an obvious statement but it really is a must that we feel comfortable working together and that the couple get to know me as a friend. I will be playing an important role in their day so it’s important they feel relaxed with me.
If at all possible it’s great to meet in person and then the ceremony can be put together via emails and chats. I like to get as much personal background info from them so that I can use this in the ceremony.  Once they arrive on the island I will arrange for a run through with those involved in the ceremony so everyone can feel relaxed on the day

• Favourite quote about Love:

“To love is nothing. To be loved is something. But to be loved by the person you love is everything.” 

Oso
https://osoibiza.com/
@osoibiza

Oso brings a relaxed and personal touch to his ceremonies and is something of a romantic himself. The name Oso means Bear in Spanish, but how did it come about? Oso explains that… “The love of my life, my Sharna, once called me her “Big Bear” and the name has long since stuck with family and friends”

• Describe your ceremonies in 50 words or less:

Warm, personal, joyful & thoughtful. My style is inclusive, focusing on the couple & their unique connection to one another, as well as the group of family & friends who have made a tremendous effort to join them on their special day in a very special place – Ibiza.

• How do you plan and produce an Ibiza Wedding Ceremony for your couples? 

Celebrancy is a calling and it brings me so much joy to create meaningful ceremonies for my couples; I want to make their experience fun and exciting from the start. The way I approach designing a ceremony is based on my own curiosity and observations of who they are. I’m really interested in how two people connect with one another and relate to the world around them; how they build their love and life. I do this through lighthearted conversations, connecting with the couple whenever I can, and sometimes asking close family members and friends to help me build a richer portrait of their relationship. I’m romantic and sensitive at heart, so I find almost everything I need to build the ceremony comes from the couple and the stories they tell me, especially the little things. For me, a wedding ceremony is not just about retelling the tale of how a couple met, but also about making connections and revealing things about their love and relationship that friends and family probably don’t already know about them. The ceremony sets the tone for the rest of the day, so I look to create something meaningful with the right balance of fun, occasion, and magic. I want my couple to walk back up the aisle with an enormous boost of energy and love from their family and friends, which the entire wedding party takes with them into the rest of the day. 

• Favourite quote about Love: 

Most of my favourite quotes are little things I overhear couples say to each other on their wedding days. Last summer, I created a ceremony for a couple who were married on a beautiful cliff-top next to the ocean. “You’re my ocean.” I heard the groom whisper in the bride’s ear. I loved that, it was perfect for that place and moment. It’s my idea of romance and it’s completely real, instead of something from a book or a song.

Sean Fearon (Irish Sean)
http://www.ibizacelebrant.com/
@sean.ibizacelebrant

I can’t even begin to tell you how many weddings Sean has presided over! I’ve been a fair few of them myself 🙂 Lending a strong presence with a touch of well placed Irish humour has made him a firm favourite with many Ibiza Wedding planners and venues over the years. 

• Describe your ceremonies in 50 words or less:

I like to speak of the importance and the seriousness of marriage but in a way that’s presented as elegant and exclusive to you. I also put a strong emphasis on humour because although a wedding ceremony is a serious occasion it should also be a happy one with a few laughs thrown in!

• How do you plan and produce an Ibiza Wedding Ceremony for your couples? 

After initial contact and some chats by phone or email I will then make an in person appointment to sit down and talk together. We will come up with a wedding ceremony very special and personal to you both which will include some lovely moments very unique to Ibiza.

• Favourite quote about Love:

“Don’t ever stop dating your wife, and don’t ever stop flirting with your husband”

Leanne – Wildflower Weddings Ibiza
https://www.wildflowerweddingsibiza.com/
https://www.instagram.com/wildflowerweddingsibiza/

Leanne doesn’t just provide celebrant services, she’s an excellent wedding planner too. Known by most of the venues all over the island, Leanne will make sure every detail of your day is taken care of. Her ceremonies are also personal, warm and perfect for Ibiza.

Describe your ceremony in 50 words or less.

Whether celebrating love with tears of joy or laughter, my ceremonies are an unique and immersive experience that truly reflect the couple.
Crafted to fulfil their expectations and embrace their personalities, each moment of their ceremony paints an unforgettable picture of their love story, to be remembered and cherished for a lifetime.

How do you plan and produce an Ibiza Wedding Ceremony for your couples? 

I begin my journey with a couple, starting with a video call, diving into the couple’s world, soaking up their hopes and dreams. I lay out my trio of ceremony styles and give them a peek into my approach. It’s all about finding that perfect match.

Using vivid descriptions, I guide them through their big day, helping them visualize every beautiful detail. Once we’re all on the same page, I share with them a tailored, online questionnaire to really hone in on what makes them tick, to foster a deeper connection and ensure a bespoke, joy-filled ceremony.

From there, it’s a journey of refinement, with video calls, emails, and WhatsApp chats, fine-tuning the script until it’s just right—until it feels like them in every word.

Favourite quote about Love

“He’s not perfect. You aren’t either, and the two of you will never be perfect. But if he can make you laugh at least once, causes you to think twice, and if he admits to being human and making mistakes, hold onto him and give him the most you can.”
Bob Marley

Ibiza Wedding Celebrant – FAQs

Can You Legally Get Married in Ibiza?
In short, no. All Ibiza wedding ceremonies are symbolic (unless one of you is resident or catholic) So for you to be ‘legally married’ this would have to take place in your home country, usually beforehand. But this is not essential or mandatory.

We’ve Booked a Wedding Package. Do We Have to Have the Celebrant Included?
It’s not usually obligatory to accept whichever celebrant comes along with your wedding package. It is always worth checking with the venue/planner which elements can be changed or eliminated.
Celebrants that come with your package often read from a set script, so you might want something that feels a little more personal. In that case it’s best to source your own.

How Long Does an Ibiza Ceremony Take?
Ibiza ceremonies can last between 20-40 minutes. Your chosen host will walk you through your timings and will ensure the ceremony is as long or as short as you would like it to be.
Time of year is an important factor and should always be considered. If you have a July or August wedding then it’s advisable to keep things short. Your guests who have all been sat in the sun will thank you for it!

Can Ibiza Wedding Celebrants Perform a Wedding Anywhere?
Yes. All Ibiza weddings are symbolic so there are no restrictions on where they can be performed. Bear in mind that any spaces such as beaches and clifftops are all public and can therefore not have any unauthorised structures like arches and chairs placed on them. To do this is at your own risk and could attract some police attention and a fine. Ceremonies in these places are fine if everyone is standing. Always check with your celebrant first before planning a ceremony somewhere which isn’t a licensed venue.

Friendly Photo & Video for your Ibiza Wedding

I love photos. Photos of holidays, photos of your favourite people, and wedding photos of course! They mean so much. But I also love to see films and videos of these special moments, especially at Ibiza weddings where you really want to capture every single special moment. 

Last summer I had the best time with my good friend Nigel at Tiny Films Ibiza. We teamed up for some gorgeous fun Ibiza weddings, providing relaxed photo and video. We also covered a couple of amazing sunset proposals. The end results were so good! We worked together really well and, most importantly, every couple had a great time too. 

For this summer we’d love to provide this more streamlined service to more couples. 3-8 hours of video and photo coverage at one combined price. This means you get plenty of film and images to share with none of the stress.
There’s lots of Ibiza Photography info on here but how does a Tiny Film work? And would it be right for you? I caught up with Nigel who provided the answers to these very questions and more!

So what’s it all about?

Tiny Films are small, lovely wedding films, for couples who want a short and sweet video of their wedding day. There’s no fluff, just the very best moments of a beautiful Ibiza Wedding, set to a bright, sunny soundtrack.

Three years ago I noticed there was no option for couples who were more price-conscious, or wanted a shorter film of their wedding day. Most of the videographers in Ibiza create beautiful, long films of big wedding days, from start to finish with lots of detail. However, they were not catering to couples who wanted something less full-on. Couples were asking me for smaller films, more akin to a music video than something cinematic. That’s how Tiny Films was born. Thanks to you I also filmed some beautiful surprise proposals this last season and they were so much fun to create. Lots of laughs with you, hiding in the bushes or pretending to be tourists and secretly capturing the moments!

How long do you spend filming at a wedding?

On a wedding day, I shoot for around five hours. That’s usually more than enough time to capture all of the essential moments. Everything usually takes place in one venue so my filming time is maximised. If couples want me to film more of the day, they can book me for longer, there are no restrictions. For other films, such as proposals, I shoot for around thirty minutes to an hour.

How long is the end product?

My wedding couples receive a 30-second trailer within a fortnight of their wedding, followed by a 5-minute film later on. I also include several mini-clips – tiny moments which make for great GIFS or Boomerangs. My couples love them. Proposal films are usually a minute in length and can also include drone footage which looks great.

Are your wedding videos suitable for social media?

Absolutely! Tiny Films are made for Social Media. They are perfect to share with friends and family via Instagram, Tik Tok, Facebook, and other platforms.

Who is your service best suited to?

Couples who want a wedding film that delivers only the best parts of the day. Short, special and lots of fun memories.

Any other info you’d like to share:

When we work together, there’s a natural flow to the day, which makes it really easy for couples to relax and enjoy their photography and videography without it taking up too much of their precious time. We know how to join forces, make the most of the time and we know some of the most beautiful locations in Ibiza.

This post is part of a series of Cas Mila articles which I’ve put together to help couples who are thinking about booking or have already confirmed their wedding at Cas Mila.

If you’d like to see how your wedding day might look, with photos and lots more info, then this post is for you!

• What is included in our Brochure? 

Everything included in your package is mentioned on the brochure you were sent when you booked. In the case of Sunset weddings, you will find all the package inclusions on pages 17 & 18. In the case of Midday weddings, all package inclusions can be found on pages 12 & 13.

• What are the different Cas Mila Ibiza Weddings Packages?

We have 3 different Packages you can choose from on our exclusive online shop.
– Cas Milà Standard Package: This is everything that is included in your brochure.
– Cas Milà Plus Package: Everything the standard package includes, PLUS some of our most popular extras to make your wedding more unique.
– Cas Milà Premium Package: Everything the standard package includes, plus some of our extras & decorations with natural flowers.

• How do I select one of the Cas Milà Packages?

It is very easy, you simply log in to your shop, click on the “packs” tab and scroll down the page where you will find all three packages. Click on the “select this package” button of whichever package you decide to choose, and you will automatically see at the top of your shop it will say the amount of your proforma, and under it the amount of the package you have selected.

• Can I just select the extras I want if I am not interested in the full packages?

Yes of course! The packages have been put together to offer you some of our most popular extras at a lower price than what it would be to add them in separately to your shop. However, if you do not want all the extras stated on the package, you simply have to select the standard package (the one that is included in your brochure) and select the extras you would like to add on from the extras tab on the main menu of your online shop.

• If I select a package but there are some services I won’t be using, will there be a deduction? 

If you decide to not use one or more services that are included in the package (for example, you are bringing your own celebrant, or photographer, etc.) there will be no deduction, these are closed packages and we cannot deduct any of the services from them.

• How do I access my online shop?

Once you have made your second payment, our sales manager will give you access to your online shop with your username and password. If you have booked your wedding more than 1 year in advance, you will have access to your shop, but you will not be able to select extras until the month of September before your wedding. This is because at the end of each season, during the month of September, the shop is reviewed and checked to see if any changes need to be made for the following season.

• When do my suppliers start to be confirmed?

Your shop has to be closed/confirmed 4 months before the wedding, or earlier if you are sure about the extras you want. Once we receive the confirmation of your shop closing, we will add the total amount of the extras/packages you have selected to your invoice and send it to you so you can make the payment. Once that is done, we then confirm all the extras and suppliers for your wedding day. The earlier you close your shop and confirm your extras the better! 

• What drinks are included during the meal?

During your meal, you will be served white wine, rose wine, red wine, water & soft drinks at your table. Your waiters will be going around filling your glasses during the whole meal.

• Can I bring some miniature drinks as favors?

No, no drinks brought from the exterior are allowed into the restaurant.

• What is the minimum number of guests we can have at our wedding?

The minimum number of guests for your wedding to be held at Cas Milà is 25 pax. 

• Do you have special menus for Vegans, Vegetarians, etc?

Yes of course, we have different menu options for Vegans, Vegetarians and also guests with allergies.

• Is the restaurant accessible for wheelchairs?

In the case of having a wedding with guests in wheelchairs, we would suggest getting married on our main terrace and not on our Rooftop, as the rooftop is not accessible for wheelchairs. These guests would not be able to access the chill out area which is where the welcome drinks and appetizers are held, however, the rest of the day would be held on the main terrace where they would be able to access without a problem.

• Is it possible to pay by card at the restaurant?

Yes, however, the service for the credit card machine is very bad. Down in the chill out area where the welcome drinks and appetizers take place, the bar is cash only because of this. There is a cash machine outside the chill out area to make it easier for you. 

• If our wedding is on the rooftop, is the party held there too?

No, the rooftop will be where your meal takes place, your speeches and your wedding cake. Once you have had your wedding cake, we will ask your guests to make their way down to the main terrace (where the ceremony was held) and gather around for the first dance. You will then come down the stairway to your first dance song and dance in the main terrace in front of your guests, after this the party will start until midnight, and then from midnight until 1am you will have to go inside the restaurant (you will be in a private area for your wedding party).

• Can the buses make several stops?

Yes, once you fill in the guest list and let us know where your guests are staying, we will pass the information on to the coach company and they will specify what stops they will be doing. We will then let you know, so you can inform your guests at what stop they will be picked up/dropped off.

• Is there any chance we can book taxis at the end of the evening to be taken back to our hotels?

Unfortunately, not. There is no such thing as pre-booking a taxi in Ibiza, especially during the summer season and at night. This is why, if you are not staying within walking distance, it is mandatory for you to book a return bus for you and your guests.

• What happens if it rains?

In the case of rain, everything would be held inside the restaurant. The ceremony would be held under our Sabina terrace and after that would set all the tables in the same area while you enjoy your appetizers in the interior room.

• Is the restaurant still open to other guests?

Yes, the restaurant is still open for other guests. You would have exclusivity of the restaurant if you have 100+ adults attending your wedding.

• Is there a limit of distance with transportation?

No, the bus prices include pick ups all over the island, however, if you are staying in a Villa we will have to enquire with the coach company first as sometimes the access to certain villas is not accessible for the buses.

• Is there a limit of distance with Wedding car?

Yes, the wedding car included in your package is for pick ups within the areas of: San Antonio, San Antonio Bay, Port D’es Torrent & Cala Tarida. Anywhere outside these areas will have an increase in the price.

• Can We bring our own DJ?

Yes, although Cas Milà’s DJ will also be there to assist him/her and make sure the equipment is used properly. (There will be no discount from your package if you bring your own DJ, as mentioned above, the package is a closed price).

• Can we tweak the timeline?

No, the timeline we have is set so that you have privacy during your ceremony (as there won’t be many people in the restaurant at that time) and also for your first dance & party.

Is Hiring a Professional Wedding Photographer Worth It?

Planning an Ibiza wedding involves making countless decisions. From selecting the perfect venue and designing the invitations to choosing the menu and deciding on the dress, there’s loads to do! Among all these choices, there’s one questions that’s often asked. Is hiring a professional Ibiza wedding photographer worth it? With the rise of smartphones and the accessibility of amateur photography equipment, it’s tempting to consider entrusting that special day to a friend or family member who dabbles in photography. However, when it comes to capturing the magic, there’s a lot more at stake than just having someone press a button.
Hiring a professional photographer, especially for a destination wedding in Ibiza, makes all the difference in preserving your memories for a lifetime. In this article, I will explore the reasons why hiring an experienced wedding photographer is an investment you won’t regret. So, is hiring a professional Ibiza wedding photographer worth it? Keep reading to find out…

Benefits of Hiring a Professional Ibiza Wedding Photographer

​A professional wedding photographer has the skills and experience needed to capture the most important moments of your Ibiza Wedding, correctly. As standard you can expect that they will be experts in composition, lighting, and editing, not to mention ensuring that your photos are of the highest quality. But one essential factor that’s often overlooked is that they should know the island really well. More than that, they should live here, pay their taxes here and above all, know where you’re getting married. Sounds silly but whole weddings have been delayed and potentially ruined because the photographer didn’t know how to get to the venue. Google maps isn’t always right.

In addition, a professional wedding photographer knows how to navigate the challenges that come with shooting a wedding. They are skilled at capturing candid moments, coordinating large group shots, and dealing with difficult lighting conditions. They also have the equipment necessary to capture every detail and fast so nothing is missed.

A professional Ibiza wedding photographer will allow you to relax and enjoy your day. A skilled professional behind the camera takes away the pressure of trying to document every moment yourself or relying on a friend or family member. Instead, you can focus on loving every moment and trust that your photographer will capture it all with no fuss.

So, is it worth it to hire a professional Ibiza wedding photographer? I say absolutely. The benefits of having a skilled professional capture your day far outweigh any cost. These photos are the only thing you can take away from the day. They’re memories that you will cherish for a lifetime, so don’t leave them to chance.

Invest in a professional photographer, sit back, and enjoy your Ibiza wedding day… Every precious moment is being beautifully documented.

Reasons to Consider a Professional Ibiza Wedding Photographer

• They are expert is what works and will know before you do what to expect in every situation. No moment is missed.
• They won’t get distracted by guests. Friends and family are part of your group so it’s normal they will want to enjoy themselves and put the camera down.
• The right angles, lighting, composition and positioning will come naturally to your photographer. You won’t get a dud or badly lit shot because they didn’t know where to be.

What Sets The Pros Apart?

​Ibiza is host to thousands of weddings each summer so good, professional wedding photographers are in high demand. They bring a unique set of skills, experience, and professional equipment (plus backups) to ensure that you have everything covered and enjoy the experience.

Professional wedding photographers have the expertise to anticipate and capture those magical moments that you might not even notice. From the emotional exchange of vows to the spontaneous laughter during the reception, they have a keen eye for spotting those candid moments that others may miss. We know how to work with Ibiza’s unique and challenging lighting conditions, manage different locations, and navigate complex situations to deliver stunning images.

Lastly, hiring a professional wedding photographer gives you peace of mind. Although it may be tempting to rely on an amateur or a friend to capture your wedding day, a pro will ensure that your images stand out and reflect you perfectly and at your best. They have backup equipment, a backup plan, and procedures in place to protect your images. They will provide you with a final product that is carefully edited and organised, allowing you to relive your wedding day for years to come.

So, don’t compromise, hire a professional and enjoy your Ibiza Wedding day to the full!

In this post I’ll tell you what’s included in an Ibiza proposal, a real proposal story and I’ll give you a map of all the best places to ensure you ask the question in the most amazing place possible. Read on to know more!

“I organised the whole proposal without knowing the people or the island and I couldn’t have wished for anyone else. Everyone did an amazing job. I would definitely recommend hiring Ibizaphotography for a photo shoot if you want to eternalize a beautiful moment in your life”

Real Ibiza Proposal… Yff & Rachel

I got in touch with Lieke who runs her own unique picnic company called Into The Wild Picnics  She helped me to arrange a romantic picnic with food during the sunset at Es Vedra. Then I decided it would be nice if the whole proposal could be secretly photographed and filmed so I googled “secret proposal photographer” and got to the website of Ibizaphotography. There I found the email address of Anne and explained to her my plans. What followed was a super nice conversation where we discussed the best place and time for the whole proposal. Anne also really wanted to know who we were and what our story was.
By doing this I really felt that I already knew Anne the first minute I saw her after the proposal.

After establishing the right place and time via email, Anne also arranged my very weird request, making drone shots of the proposal. This was done by Tinyfilms who made a super nice video of the whole proposal (with not only drone footage).

Anyway, the day of the proposal was there and I was a bit anxious because I never met any of the people who arranged the whole thing and I had never even been to Ibiza. When we got to the picnic site I noticed that, besides us, there was nobody there. My friend who had been to Ibiza told me that this would be impossible since the sunset at Es Vedra attracts hundreds of people. What happened was that Into the Wild picnics did an amazing job of finding the perfect quiet spot. Besides finding the perfect spot, the picnic looked amazing and the vegetarian food was delicious (my girlfriend didn’t suspect anything because I gave her a romantic dinner for her birthday a few weeks earlier).

So while we were sitting and eating a saw Anne sitting behind us under a bush with an enormous camera. My girlfriend saw it too and didn’t suspect a thing because she thought Anne was just a photographer making pictures of Es Vedra and the sunset. Talk about hiding in plain sight ; ).

After finishing our meal it was time for the main event, the proposal. It was just a beautiful moment which was perfectly captured by Anne. Afterwards, Anne walked up to us and just made some pictures of us just enjoying the moment. My girlfriend and I are no models so I was a bit worried about the photos but Anne just said to relax and do our thing. We just did a couple of relaxing, not too exaggerated, poses while my girlfriend and I were just chatting a bit. Anne just talked to us and gave us some instructions without it feeling like a photo shoot. When all the photos and videos were made, Anne left and told us the photos would be ready a few days later.

Within those few days, my girlfriend and I laughed a bit about how funny the photos were going to be because we always have awkward poses. So the more surprised we were when we saw the photos Anne made. Every photo was gorgeous without it being too cheesy or anything. I still do not know how Anne did it but these are the photos I will cherish for the rest of my life!

Where to get Engaged in Ibiza?

Below are all the most beautiful places to propose in Ibiza. They all enjoy sunset views and are guaranteed to wow!
