A romantic couple photoshoot in port Vell, Barcelona – Greg & Christina
Couples & Engagements photoshoot
A refined meeting of nature and the sea
Marimurtra Gardens offer a setting where cultivated nature meets the vast openness of the Mediterranean. Perched above the coastline, this location feels expansive yet intimate — lush greenery, sculpted paths, and stone terraces unfolding into endless sea views.
A photoshoot here feels elevated and immersive. The composition builds naturally: greenery frames the scene, architectural details add structure, and the horizon creates depth and calm. Light moves beautifully through the space, giving each image a soft, cinematic quality.
The result is a gallery that feels airy, elegant, and quietly powerful — images that carry both intimacy and scale.
Marimurtra doesn’t overwhelm the moment. It enhances it — allowing your connection, your emotions, and your story to remain at the heart of every frame.

Colors that work best
Soft whites, cream, and ivory create a fresh, luminous contrast against the deep greens and the blue of the sea, giving the images a clean and timeless feel.
Warm neutrals like beige, sand, and soft taupe echo the natural tones of the stone paths and architectural details, adding a sense of balance and understated elegance.
Muted pastels—such as blush, dusty rose, pale lavender, or soft peach—bring a romantic touch without overwhelming the scenery.
Light blue tones and soft sky hues beautifully reflect the Mediterranean backdrop, adding depth while keeping the overall palette calm and cohesive.
These colors enhance the airy, coastal atmosphere of Marimurtra, allowing your photos to feel elegant, natural, and quietly cinematic.
Late afternoon — the most magical choice
Late afternoon leading into sunset is when Marimurtra Gardens reveal their full beauty. The light becomes warm and golden, softly wrapping around the greenery, stone architecture, and the endless blue of the sea.
This time is perfect if you want:
warm, glowing light
soft, romantic atmosphere
cinematic tones with depth and contrast
a more emotional, elevated feel in your images
As the sun lowers, the gardens feel calmer and more intimate, creating a truly special setting for your session.
Morning — fresh and serene
The light is soft and clean, with gentle tones that highlight the natural beauty of the gardens without harsh shadows.
This time is perfect if you prefer:
light, airy images
a fresh and natural look
If you feel connected to this atmosphere and imagine yourself walking these streets, letting the city set the pace, I would be happy to help you plan your photoshoot.

My husband and I booked Anastasia for our first anniversary photoshoot while we were traveling in Barcelona and could not be happier! She is amazingly talented with a great eye for capturing moments in a way that feels cinematic and natural. We’re not natural models by any means but our time with her felt really easy and comfortable, and it made our photos come out even better. If you’re not good at posing, don’t worry! Anastasia was able to help guide us when we weren’t sure what to do, and let us know which minor adjustments we could make for our body positioning, etc. if needed.
Outside of the photography aspect, she is professional, kind and courteous. We had a mix up with our scheduled date and she went out of her way to give us options for other dates and times and even stayed a little longer than our allotted time! That was very generous of her and not at all expected.
We’re so grateful and thankful to her for capturing these beautiful memories for us to look back on for years to come :)
Anastasia is Absolutely amazing photographer! My best experience taking photos was with her, our first session took place 4 years ago, but i loved it so much, that in our most recent trip to Barcelona, I made sure to book time with her in advance! Anastasia is very professional, she is great with small kids (+ millions of extra points for her patience), she also wonderful to just be around, but the final result - the photos are gorgeous: beautiful yet so natural, actual moments of our lives! Through the lens of her camera we turned to movie stars! Every photo worth to be printed and hanged on the wall! Next time I’ll visit Barcelona, I will ask her for more photos because it’s the best photoshoots i had in my life! Thank you Anastasia🙌🏻
Anastasia was huge part of making our engagement awesome. She was easy to communicate and coordinate with. She provided plenty of awesome photos, poses, and tips along the way that made the process super easy. We absolutely love all of the pictures she took and edited for us. Thank you!
Run, don’t walk and book Anastasia for your photography needs in Barcelona! We booked Anastasia for our July honeymoon shoot and are obsessed with how our photos turned out. Anastasia is so talented, sweet and easy to work with! Would definitely book her in the future if we go back to Barcelona.
We were on our honeymoon and wanted to capture the pure bliss we felt during our trip, and Anastasia NAILED IT!!! We cannot recommend her enough. She was so incredible and so much fun!! The photos are amazing and are going to go on my wall in our new home! We were talking for weeks about how the photoshoot was the most fun we had on the honeymoon! We are so glad we got to work with Anastasia as she was a joy to be around! She went above and beyond to capture amazing photos of the two of us with the beautiful backdrop of Barcelona !! Thank you so so much!
We had such a wonderful experience with Anastasia!
She was incredibly flexible with changes in schedule and location, which made everything so smooth and stress-free. She has a real talent for finding beautiful spots for photoshoots and guiding us with poses in such a natural, comfortable way. You can truly feel her passion for photography in every shot—she clearly loves what she does. The photos turned out absolutely stunning; we love the colors, the vibe, and the overall aesthetic. Thank you so much, Anastasia!
Anastasia and her assistant went above and beyond to capture my surprise proposal in Montserrat, Barcelona. They were extremely flexible and waited in plain sight to capture the special moment. Anastasia was very professional and turned the final photos around really quickly. I highly recommend anyone to entrust her to capture the special moments in your life ❤️
Anastasia is an amazing photographer - not only is she extremely attentive to detail, she possesses an easy art of dealing with people. Even with a naughty toddler whom we had along at a shooting she managed to make the most of it- we are enjoying a bunch of emotional highly authentic photos. Anastasia's recommendation and advice on location depending on your needs or wishes, on the harmonious outfits and posing will definitely end up in a pleasant time together and unforgettable memories. She is top! Dear Anastasia, thank you for the kaleidoscope of emotions and unforgettable vacation memories that we now have preserved in your awesome photos!
Thank you for making my photo shoot experience in Barcelona a marvelous one! You are such a sweet and kind soul ♥️. You made me feel so comfortable and confident. You seriously light up any room with your smile. Thank you 🙏🏼
Anastasia is awesome!!!. My experience with her was phenomenal and I will recommend her 100%. We maintained communication and she fulfilled all my requests. She is very professional and sweet. She is extremely patient and very puntual. I loved our photo session with her and I’m obsessed with all the photos.
Anastasia did a fantastic job taking pictures of our family in Barcelona both in 2020 and 2023. The photos she captured are stunningly beautiful, and the photoshoot was an enjoyable experience. Her attention to detail and ability to create a relaxed atmosphere made for an overall wonderful session.
Absolutely amazing experience of family photo session with Anastasia. She is professional, easy going person, extremely helpful in finding the right place/angle/pose. We had a shooting at the beach, and despite crazy wind and sometimes crying baby, she captured all moments in the best way.I will definitely recommend Anastasia to anyone who’s looking for amazing result and best experience.
