Sun, Sea & Vows: A Marimurtra Botanical Garden Elopement



When Ece and Ramis reached out to me about capturing their elopement in Spain, they already knew one thing for sure — they wanted their day to feel intimate, emotional, and connected to nature. No crowds, no rush, no pressure. Just the two of them, celebrating their love in one of the most breathtaking corners of the Costa Brava. And honestly? Their elopement could not have been more perfect.

A Peaceful Start at Marimurtra Botanical Garden


We started the day in Marimurtra Botanical Garden, one of the most beautiful elopement locations near Barcelona. Perched on the cliffs of Blanes, the garden opens up to sweeping views of the Mediterranean Sea, surrounded by exotic plants, quiet paths, and the kind of soft coastal light photographers dream about.


Ece and Ramis exchanged their private vows overlooking the turquoise water, with only the wind and the sound of the waves listening in. It was emotional, heartfelt, and incredibly personal — exactly what an elopement should feel like.

A Secret Cove Near Tossa de Mar — Golden Light & Mediterranean Magic


After exploring Marimurtra, we drove to a secret bay near Tossa de Mar — one of my favorite hidden spots on the Costa Brava. The light turned golden, the sea became calm, and the cliffs wrapped the whole scene in warm evening colors. It was the perfect setting for slow, intimate portraits that feel timeless.


Ece changed into a soft, flowy dress that moved beautifully with the wind, while Ramis kept a relaxed, elegant look — the combination made the images feel ethereal but still grounded in the natural beauty around them.


We ended the day barefoot on the rocks, watching the sun disappear behind the horizon. It was the kind of elopement that reminds you why couples choose Spain for their celebration — pure freedom, breathtaking landscapes, and a love story unfolding at its own pace.
