Some weddings carry with them an air of timeless elegance, and Renee & Bert’s celebration at the Phoenicia Hotel in Valletta promises exactly that. From our very first exchanges, I knew their day would be a beautiful blend of style, emotion, and the soulful charm of Malta’s capital city.

Meeting Before the Big Day

Just a day before the wedding, I met Renee & Bert at the Phoenicia for a quick chat. It’s always special to meet couples in person before the big day – sharing a smile, talking through the details, and simply enjoying that moment of excitement together. The anticipation was written all over their faces, and it reminded me once again why I love documenting weddings.

The Wedding Timeline

Their day was carefully planned to flow seamlessly, with plenty of space for heartfelt moments:

  • Groom preparation at the Phoenicia Hotel

  • Bride preparation in one of the hotel’s elegant rooms

  • Ceremony at the Porch – Maryanski

  • Photoshoot in Valletta (a highlight for Renee & Bert, who were looking forward to this the most – capturing love against the timeless backdrop of Malta’s streets where time seems to stand still)

  • Reception back at the Phoenicia, under the Maltese night sky

A Celebration of Love in Valletta

When asked what they were most looking forward to, Renee & Bert couldn’t put it into words – they were simply excited for it all. Yet, the photoshoot in Valletta held a special place in their hearts. For them, wandering through those historic streets as newlyweds wasn’t just about the photos; it was about pausing time, holding onto each other, and letting their love story shine through every frame.

Their first dance was set to Alicia Keys’ If I Ain’t Got You, followed by Benson Boone’s Beautiful Things – songs that carry the perfect mix of intimacy and joy.

A Day That Will Live On

For me, this wedding is a reminder of why I do what I do – creating art from real emotions, real stories, and real people. Renee & Bert’s Phoenicia wedding is a celebration not just of their love, but of timeless moments that will live on through photographs.
