Stephanie & Paul's Elixir Shore Club Wedding in Ibiza

Steph and Paul were married on the destination wedding island of Ibiza in June 2016. With its golden light and dramatic coastal scenery, Ibiza is the perfect place to marry abroad — and as Ibiza wedding photographers, we never tire of it.

Wedding morning

Steph got ready with her six adult bridesmaids and her flower girl at the Aguas de Ibiza Lifestyle & Spa Hotel in Illes Balears from mid-morning. It was a wild, busy and fun bridal preparation.

Paul, with his six groomsmen, got ready at the Sirenis Hotel Club Siesta, also in Illes Balears, from lunchtime. His best man made sure he kept cool and calm.

The ceremony at Elixir Shore Club

Once they were both ready, they left on the three-quarters of an hour journey to their ceremony venue at the Elixir Shore Club on Cala Codolar Beach in San Jose, in the beautiful afternoon light. The views were breathtaking, with rocky coastlines and azure seas.

This was an intimate wedding of family members and great friends in a romantic Mediterranean boho setting, finished with beautiful flowers and decorations.

Drinks reception and portraits

A drinks reception followed in sparkling sunshine. We had an amazing couple shoot, achieving some real magic with the views of Es Vedrà as the perfect backdrop for any destination wedding.
