Documentary Photography For Meaningful Weddings in Barcelona and Spain
Barcelona Wedding Photographer for the Moments That Matter
Documentary wedding photography for couples who want to be fully present, enjoy their people and remember how their wedding actually felt.
Based in Barcelona and photographing weddings across Catalonia and Spain.
Calm Presence Behind The Camera
I'm Lana, a Barcelona-based wedding photographer with over 12 years of experience. I photograph weddings across Barcelona and Spain for couples who value real emotions, want to spend quality time with their guests, and fully enjoy every moment of their wedding day.
My goal is to help couples turn this once-in-a-lifetime experience into memories they will cherish forever. I offer more than just photographs — I offer guidance, presence, genuine care, and connection.
My approach is documentary at heart, with an eye for beautiful light, thoughtful details, and natural portraits. I help my couples feel comfortable, gently guide them when needed, and quietly notice the moments they might otherwise miss.
Wedding in Barcelona Without Any Pressure
Feel Comfortable
You don't need to know how to pose. I'll give you gentle direction when you need it and let the rest unfold naturally.
Stay Present
I'll take care of the photography while you having the best time with your people, your celebration and everything happening around you.
Be Supported
From timelines and family photos to portrait locations and little logistical questions, you'll have an experienced photographer beside you throughout the whole wedding journey.
Real Weddings, Real Stories: Barcelona and Spain
Every wedding is different, and I invite you to explore some of the celebrations I've had the privilege of documenting. Watch these real weddings at some of the most beautiful countryside venues near Barcelona! And if you're still searching for a traditional Spanish venue to celebrate your wedding in Catalonia, you might want to check my list of Barcelona wedding venues.
Wedding at Mas De Sant Llei
Kelsey and Josh’s wedding at Mas de Sant Lleí captured everything I love about weddings in Barcelona and Spain: an elegant setting, beautiful soft light, and, most importantly, a day filled with genuine emotion and connection.
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.
Wedding at Gran Villa Rosa
Surrounded by their closest family and friends, Caitlin and Mark traveled to Spain to celebrate their wedding in one of the most beautiful wedding venues in Catalonia - Gran Villa Rosa. With soft light, peaceful lushy gardens, and the timeless charm of a historic villa, their wedding day felt romantic, relaxed, and deeply personal.
Photos That Feel Like Your Story, Not Trends.
The best images happen when you're not thinking about the camera — when your father sees you for the first time, when your friends make you laugh during dinner, when you hold hands under the table, when everyone is dancing and nobody is watching.
I'll create space for those moments to happen naturally, while also making sure we leave time for beautiful portraits and the photographs you'll want to frame.
Kind Words From My Couples
Annika & Ryan
From start to finish, Lana brought such kindness, creativity, and calm to our wedding day in Barcelona. She captured every emotion beautifully and even stayed late for our spontaneous pool jump photos, which became some of our favorite memories. We couldn’t recommend her more highly!
Maria & Alberto
What made Lana so special wasn’t just her incredible talent, but the way she made us feel. She was warm, caring, and felt more like a dear friend than someone we had hired, while always remaining completely professional.
Marta & Sergi
We couldn’t be happier we chose Lana as our wedding photographer! From the very beginning, she took the time to get to know us—not just our preferred photography style, but who we are as a couple. Her professionalism, talent, and genuine warmth made all the difference. We recommend Lana without hesitation!

A Little More About Lana
I believe the best photography comes from trust, connection, and being truly present. From the planning stages to the final moments of your day, I’m all in — guiding you, supporting you, and capturing your story in a way that feels natural, elegant, and personal.
Outside weddings, you'll usually find me exploring somewhere new, running, traveling or looking for the next beautiful place to photograph.
Frequently Asked Questions
How far in advance should we book you?
Most couples reserve their date 12–18 months ahead, especially for spring and autumn weddings in Spain. If you feel connected to my work, I recommend reaching out as soon as you can.
Do you travel outside Barcelona?
Absolutely. I photograph weddings all across Spain and internationally. Travel within Catalunya is included in most packages, and for further distances, I’ll prepare a simple travel quote.
Do you offer engagement sessions?
Yes — and I always encourage them. It’s a beautiful chance to get comfortable together, explore meaningful locations, and create photographs that feel personal to your story. Many couples use their photos for invitations or wedding websites.
May I customize a package?
Price packages may be customized to best suit your wedding in Barcelona. Provide me with more details about your needs, and I'll prepare your quote.
