When I got the opportunity to shoot Angela + Alexander’s destination in Barcelona, Spain, I almost couldn’t believe it. I’ve been working so hard to build my destination wedding portfolio and I’d never visited Spain before – so it was a no-brainer for me. With the help + guidance of Taryn + Dani of Taryn Stark Wyant Events, their intimate wedding day came together perfectly. Villa Valentina is located about 35 minutes north of Barcelona, in the municipality of Sant Andreu de Llavaneres. Perched high above the town, in the beautiful hills of Spain, Villa Valentina is a small, quiet villa featuring 5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a private pool, and common space for up to 18 guests. The entire US-based vendor team got to stay on-site for this destination wedding and it was absolutely magical. It’s such a special property!
Angela + Alexander envisioned a wedding that celebrated the colors, food, and culture of Spain. They got engaged in Mallorca, so Spain was a special place for them to start their marriage together. With 20 of their closest family + friends, they said “I do!” in a beautiful garden ceremony, set against a greenery-covered wall adorned with flowers. Guests enjoyed cocktail hour by the pool, dining on traditional Spanish cuisine including seafood paella and fresh sliced Jamon Iberico – also known as Iberian ham. As the sun set, everyone sat down for a multi-course dinner under the stars and spent the evening in celebration of the couple.
After dinner, a local Flamenco group performed for everyone and it was absolutely incredible. The guitar music, the singing, the dancing… it was incredibly special and a definite highlight of the day. Angela + Alexander’s wedding day was a true Spanish celebration and it is a wedding day that I will always remember. Here are some of my favorites from their gorgeous destination wedding at Villa Valentina in Barcelona, Spain…

Some wedding days are beautiful. Others are joyful. And then there are the rare ones that feel like joy in motion – the kind you can feel in every frame, every laugh, every stolen glance. Rachel and Mac’s wedding at Magnolia Plantation was exactly that. From the very beginning, they chose to experience the day […]
For Jennie, Sea Pines has never been just a wedding destination – it’s home. Long before this day, she spent summers working in Harbour Town, learning its rhythms, its light, and the way life slows down just enough on Hilton Head Island. So when it came time to choose where she and Greg would get […]
Some places hold more than memories – they hold generations. For Madeline + Porter, Hilton Head wasn’t just a beautiful setting for their wedding day at Sea Pines Resort; it was part of their family story long before they ever said “I do.” With both of their parents having been married on Hilton Head and […]
Nine years of growing up together gives you a certain steadiness – the kind that doesn’t panic when plans unravel. That quiet confidence defined Walker + Addi Grace’s wedding day at Boone Hall, even as steady rain reshaped nearly every detail of their celebration. High school sweethearts who met as freshmen and now call Columbia, […]
Some wedding days unfold exactly as planned. Others ask you to let go, adapt, and trust what matters most. Lauren and Billy’s wedding at Sea Pines Resort in Hilton Head was very much the latter – and in many ways, that’s what made it so meaningful. Elegant, sophisticated, and deeply classic in style, their day […]
Mayzie + Hyrum’s intimate celebration at the Ocean Course on Kiawah gave me allllll of the Ralph Lauren vibes. When I look back at these images, I’m instantly transported – there’s something so Americana and nostalgic about the day, in the best possible way. Maybe it’s the classic blue hydrangea bouquet, effortlessly timeless. Maybe it’s […]
