A beautiful setting for a romantic couple session
A couple photo session doesn’t have to be about standing and posing in front of a beautiful view.
For me, the most important part is capturing your relationship: the way you look at each other, your laughter, hugs, little gestures and the way you naturally interact.
Marimurtra gives us plenty of opportunities for this.
We can walk through the gardens, take more spontaneous photographs surrounded by greenery and then move towards the viewpoints overlooking the sea. Because the garden has such a variety of landscapes, one session can feel like several different locations.
The architecture also adds a romantic and elegant atmosphere without making the photographs feel overly posed.
A beautiful place for exchanging vows
Marimurtra is also a wonderful setting for an intimate wedding ceremony or a vow renewal.
One of its most iconic locations is the Linnaeus Pavilion, situated above Sa Forcanera cove. Its romantic architecture and spectacular position overlooking the Costa Brava make it particularly special for ceremonies. Marimurtra itself offers wedding ceremonies in this area.

I can imagine a small ceremony surrounded by nature, with your closest people beside you and the Mediterranean as your backdrop.
And after the ceremony, the gardens offer countless opportunities for a relaxed couple session, allowing us to create photographs that tell the story of the day rather than simply documenting the ceremony itself.
A secret proposal in Marimurtra
Marimurtra can also be an incredible setting for a surprise marriage proposal.
You don’t necessarily need a complicated setup. A walk through the gardens, a beautiful viewpoint, the sea in the background — and then, at just the right moment, the question.
The garden itself currently offers dedicated options for marriage proposals and highlights the Mediterranean views and the Linnaeus Pavilion as particularly special settings for this kind of moment. (Jardí Botànic Marimurtra)
And proposals are some of my favourite moments to photograph because the emotions are completely real.
The surprise. The nervousness. The tears. The laughter. The hug after the “yes”.
There is nothing to recreate or direct. It simply happens.
And years later, photographs can bring you right back to that exact second.
You don’t need to know how to pose
If the idea of a couple photo session makes you nervous because you don’t think you are good at posing, don’t worry.
You don’t need to know how to pose.
I prefer to let you walk, talk, laugh, hug and simply be together. I will guide you when necessary, but most of the time I am looking for the little moments that happen naturally.
My goal is not only to create beautiful photographs, but photographs that actually feel like you.
That is one of the reasons I love Marimurtra so much for couple photography. The location already gives us so much. We can simply enjoy being together and let the story unfold naturally.
