The Lanzarote Effect | Wedding Photographer Lanzarote

When you experience Lanzarote for the first you can’t help but being totally astonished by the majestic beauty of this land.

The characteristic volcanic soil of the island – one of the Canary Archipelago, a Spanish territory in the Atlantic Ocean – gives you the perception of visiting another world, maybe the Moon, or Mars …or Mordor! 🙂

Once you start exploring it, you are surrounded by a feeling of relaxation and peace, there’s something so evocative in Lanzarote that makes you love it at first sight.

Due to multiple eruptions occurred in 1700, all the island is adorned with extravagant rock formations that range from the blackest black of the Timanfaya National Park to the amazing rust-red tones of El Golfo.

Needless to say that capturing the love of Yadira and Romen, a lovely couple who lives in the island was something truly inspiring to us, their complicity, their smiles, the way they looked each other were so pure and genuine that made our work really easy and simple.

We love intimate elopements in the wild Nature and such a magical place as Lanzarote, with its mysterious, poetic energy is definitely the perfect place for that: a place where you need no particular detail or décor to celebrate your love, who needs more when you and your soulmate can have first look shots in a cactus-filled valley and your ceremony setting is a black sand beach with a breathtaking  wind-eroded red cliff behind you?

Oh yes, the wind. We haven’t mentioned a word about it yet! Lanzarote wind is definitely one of the main reasons we loved photographing this elopement so much, it’s so powerful and vital, it’s the “special effect”  that makes every shot so “epic & theatrically dramatic” and thanks to the gorgeous wedding outfits by Oswaldo Machin the result was just perfect! (Please take a look at his creations, he’s a talented wedding gown designer based in the island and we’re in love with his original style)

Now enjoy the pictures below and if you and your love dream to travel to a wild location for a unique elopement, let us know! We’d be so happy to follow you in the adventure!
