An Intimate Wedding in the Phoenicia hotel | MALTA

There’s something truly magical about photographing weddings in Malta. The history, the architecture, the golden Mediterranean light—it all comes together to create the perfect backdrop for a love story. This recent wedding I had the pleasure of documenting was no exception. From the first frame to the last dance, it was a day filled with warmth, elegance, and deeply personal moments.

The Day Begins: Groom’s Residence

The day started at the groom’s residence, where anticipation filled the air. There’s a quiet kind of excitement in the groom’s prep—subtle, steady, and deeply emotional. I focused on capturing those small but significant details: cufflinks being fastened, final words exchanged with parents, and the look of calm determination that comes just before saying "I do."

A Gentle Glow at the Bride’s Home

Next, I made my way to the bride’s residence. The mood was beautifully different—buzzing with energy, laughter, and a touch of nervous excitement. The natural light pouring in set the tone for soft, romantic shots as the bride slipped into her gown. With every click of the shutter, I tried to preserve not just how the morning looked, but how it felt.

The Ceremony: Madonna Ta Lourdes Chapel, Floriana

Nestled in the heart of Floriana, the Madonna Ta Lourdes Chapel is a gem. Intimate and steeped in history, the chapel offered an atmosphere that was both sacred and serene. The ceremony was heartfelt, with the warm light filtering through stained glass windows adding a golden hue to every moment. Documenting the exchange of vows in such a setting felt like stepping into a dream.

Reception at The Maryanski Porch, The Phoenicia Hotel

The celebration continued just a short walk away at The Phoenicia Hotel, one of Malta’s most iconic venues. The reception was held in The Maryanski Porch, an elegant space flooded with natural daylight, thanks to wall-to-wall glass doors that opened to a private patio overlooking beautifully manicured gardens. With just around 20 guests, the setting was intimate and truly personal — a warm gathering filled with heartfelt toasts, shared laughter, and a stunning wedding cake.
