Couple embracing the moment of the engagement session in Barcelona

A Peaceful Start at Palau de les Heures

We began the session at Palau de les Heures, one of Barcelona’s hidden gems. This garden offers quiet corners, elegant staircases, and greenery that feels almost cinematic. Since not that many people know this place, the atmosphere was soft and calm — perfect for those first intimate portraits. Surrounded by green trees and classical architecture, Katie and Alex shared natural laughs and tender moments that truly reflected their connection.

City Vibes in El Born

For the second part of the session, we headed to El Born, one of Barcelona’s most iconic neighborhoods. Its narrow streets and vibrant bars gave us a completely different energy — dynamic, romantic, and full of life. We stopped in one of the oldest bars so that Alex and Katie could enjoy cava and vermut — something so important to two of them only.

The combination of Palau de les Heures and El Born created the perfect contrast — a mix of peaceful nature and urban charm that mirrors what makes Barcelona so special.

Why Choose Barcelona for Your Engagement Photos?

Whether you’re visiting for a destination engagement session or live here, Barcelona offers endless photo opportunities — from hidden parks like Palau de les Heures or Park Laberinto de Horta to the colorful streets of El Born, Gràcia, or the Gothic Quarter. The city’s mix of architecture, Mediterranean atmosphere, and romantic light makes it a dream location for couples who want photos that feel both elegant and authentic!

As a Barcelona engagement photographer, I love helping couples discover beautiful, lesser-known spots that reflect their story.
