Exclusive OFfEr FOR Love My Dress Readers
I’m Clarissa, a Spain based photographer with deep roots in the Balearic Islands and over a decade of experience capturing authentic love stories. I shoot documentary-led photography that’s down-to-earth, effortless, and made for people who want beautiful images without the fuss.
Born in Ibiza and raised in London, my two cultures have gifted me fluency in English & Spanish and an appreciation for the beauty of worlds coming together. I fell in love with film photography as a teenager, and today I use 35 mm, medium format and digital cameras to create images with a classic, nostalgic quality; think soft and grainy, true colours and emotionally rich.
With a calm, intuitive presence, I allow the day to unfold as it actually happens, so you can be fully present with the people you love. I believe the best photographs come from moments lived in presence, which means all you need to do is be yourself, whilst I observe and reflect your authentic connection back to you. Whether in Ibiza, the Balearics, across Spain, or throughout Europe.

Frequently Asked Questions
How would you describe your photography style?
Documentary, authentic, intimate, analog, down-to-earth! These are all words that I keep coming back to, they feel very ‘me’ and seep into every image I make.
What is your approach to photographing a wedding day?
My approach is equally thoughtful as it is laid-back. I enjoy blending in with your guests, ie, being a friend that happens to have lots of cameras. I bounce between being in the background, capturing those fleeting candid moments, and then coming into the foreground for gentle portraits. The thing that matters to me the most as your photographer is that you are able to live in full presence for your wedding day, so I do everything I can to keep you guys in that magical space. It’s all a balance that keeps me on my toes and inspired, and you, enjoying your time with all of your loved ones.
What if we aren't used to being in front of camera?
A lot of my couples lean toward feeling awkward or uncomfortable in front of a camera, it’s totally normal! But you are in good hands, as someone who also doesn’t love being in front of the camera, I can empathise with you and have plenty of tricks to keep you present. Most of the time I’ll be capturing candid moments and you’ll be too busy soaking up your day, chatting with friends or family to even notice! And then for your couple portraits, I’ll give you gentle promts if and as needed, creating natural moments between you so that you don’t feel like you’re posing, but spending quality one-on-one time together, as newlyweds.
Do you work with film, digital, or both?
I work with both! I love mixing formats, using digital, 35mm and medium format throughout the day. Digital photography brings practicality, security, and speed, allowing me to capture fast-moving moments, while film serves as the artistic backbone of the day.
How many images will we receive?
I firmly believe in quality over quantity, delivering only the very best images and carefully crafting them into a unique story. For a full day’s coverage, I deliver 600+ images.
When will we receive our photos?
You’ll receive a sneak preview of your digitals within 1 week, and your full gallery will be delivered within 6-12 weeks.
Do you work with a second photographer?
It depends. For weddings with over 100 guests, I’ll often recommend one. I work with a select few trusted photographers who are just as skilled and passionate as I am to provide a more complete coverage.
Do you travel for weddings?
Absolutely! I love travelling and seeing new places. I’m open to any destination if we are the right fit.
