Maria & Alberto's wedding at Can Ribas de Montbui

Some weddings simply feel different and so was the wedding of Maria and Alberto. From the moment I arrived at Can Ribas de Montbui, there was a sense of love in the air. There was no rush, no stress—just excitement for the day ahead. As a Barcelona wedding photographer, these are the moments I love most. The quiet anticipation before everything begins, the genuine emotions shared with loved ones, and all the little details that often become the memories couples treasure the most.

A day filled with genuine moments


The morning started with excitement as Maria arrived at the venue, nearly ready and glowing with anticipation. We had a precious hour to capture her solo portraits and the quiet thrill before Alberto’s arrival. Emotions ran high during her first look with her father and the magical dress reveal before her bridesmaids.


With the stunning facade of Can Ribas de Montbui as their backdrop, the outdoor ceremony overflowed with genuine emotion. As Maria walked arm in arm with her father, Alberto’s smile and tears spoke it all. Their sincere vows, shared laughter, and embraces made each moment feel unique.


After the ceremony, we wandered the venue for some relaxed couple portraits. One of the best things about Can Ribas de Montbui is that you don't have to leave the grounds to find beautiful backdrops. Strolling through lush gardens and along winding stone paths, we captured timeless wedding photos as Maria and Alberto savored their first peaceful moments as newlyweds.
