ABOUT THE WEDDING

Ibiza is often synonymous with vibrant nightlife, but for the discerning couple, it offers something far more exclusive: a sanctuary of Mediterranean luxury perfect for a high-end destination wedding.

As a luxury wedding photographer in Europe, I have seen many stunning venues, but this private villa near Es Cubells stands out as a hidden gem. With its breathtaking sea views, modern elegance, and absolute privacy, it set the stage for a three-day wedding extravaganza that was as stylish as it was emotional.

The Destination: Why Choose Es Cubells for Your Ibiza Wedding?
For couples flying in from the US or Asia, privacy is often the ultimate luxury. Located on the southwest coast of the island, Es Cubells offers dramatic cliffside views and seclusion that hotels simply cannot match.This couple, supported by the expert planning of JcBespokeEvents, chose a private estate capable of hosting a 200-guest celebration. The venue featured luxurious accommodations, a sprawling garden for the dinner, and even a private discotheque, allowing the party to flow seamlessly from an elegant ceremony to an unforgettable after-party.

A 3-Day Wedding Experience
A destination wedding is never just about one day; it is about bringing friends and family from across the globe together for an experience. This celebration was a masterclass in hosting:
The Vibe: The couple chose a colorful and elegant theme, moving away from the traditional all-white aesthetic. A rich palette of pink, purple, and gold brought the venue to life.
The Styling: Velvet Circus Ibiza and The Floral Studio Ibiza transformed the villa into a dreamscape, using bespoke furniture and floral installations that complemented the villa's modern architecture.

The Ceremony & Golden Hour Photography
Officiated by White Island Blessing, the ceremony was intimate, filled with humor, and deeply personal. But for me as a photographer, the magic truly happened during the golden hour. Ibiza is famous for its sunsets. We utilized the natural golden light against the backdrop of the Mediterranean Sea to create editorial-style portraits. My approach to luxury wedding photography is to keep these moments authentic, focusing on the connection between the couple rather than stiff poses, resulting in images that look like they belong in a fashion magazine.

Mediterranean Dining under the Stars
The evening continued with a garden dinner featuring the best of local cuisine: paella, fresh salads, and artisanal cheeses by Crisp Catering Ibiza. Long tables adorned with candlelight created an intimate atmosphere for speeches that had the entire party in tears of laughter.To end the night? An amazing party in the villa’s private club, with Calle Boogaloo Ibiza and dancers from Sambaweibiza keeping the energy high until the early morning.
