Can Ollé de la Guàrdia Wedding in Montserrat | Sara & Toni
Gorgeous Wedding at Can Ollé de la Guàrdia next to Montserrat
There are some weddings that leave you speechless with their beauty and charm, and this was one of them. Toni and Sara chose the stunning venue of Can Ollé de la Guàrdia, a 17th century farmhouse surrounded by nature and with breathtaking views of the Montserrat mountain. Their wedding was a perfect blend of rustic elegance and cozy intimacy, and I’m so grateful they invited me to capture their special day.
The wedding started at midday with a delicious barbecue in which some friends and family were present. It was a relaxed and informal way to welcome the guests and enjoy the sunny weather. I loved the details of the wooden tables, the colorful flowers and the personalized napkins with the couple’s initials. After that, Toni and Sara began with their preparations. First I photographed Sara, who looked stunning in her lace dress and veil. She had her hair done in a romantic updo. Her bouquet was a mix of white roses, lavender and eucalyptus, and it smelled amazing. She was accompanied by her mother and her bridesmaids, who wore matching purple dresses and helped her with the final touches.
Then I moved to Toni, who was getting ready in another room. He wore a black suit with a white shirt and a blue tie. He looked handsome and confident, and he had a big smile on his face. He was joined by his brother and his groomsmen, who wore similar suits and boutonnieres made of lavender. The preparations took place inside the farming buildings of Can Ollé de la Guàrdia, which have been renovated with style and comfort. The rooms were spacious and bright, with wooden beams, stone walls and vintage furniture. They created a warm and cozy atmosphere that suited the couple’s personality.
After the preparations, the ceremony began at 18 pm. It was held in the garden, under a wooden arch decorated with white drapes and flowers. The guests sat on wooden benches covered with cushions and blankets, creating a rustic chic vibe. The ceremony was officiated by a close friend of the couple, who made it personal and emotional. Toni and Sara exchanged their vows and rings, and sealed their love with a passionate kiss.
Then I took some intimate photos of the couple in some of the beautiful sites of Can Ollé. We walked around the fields, the forest and the pond, enjoying the golden hour light and the stunning views of Montserrat. Toni and Sara were so natural and relaxed in front of the camera, and they showed their love and happiness in every shot. They were a joy to photograph.
Then the wedding continued with a cocktail around the gardens, where the guests enjoyed some appetizers and drinks while listening to live music. The sunset light created a magical atmosphere that enhanced the beauty of the place. After the cocktail, Toni and Sara cut their wedding cake, which was a three-tiered naked cake topped with fresh fruits and flowers. They also had a candy bar where they offered their guests some sweets and chocolates.
The party started with the couple’s first dance, which was romantic and elegant. They danced one of their favorite songs. Then they invited their parents and friends to join them on the dance floor, where they had fun until late at night. Toni and Sara’s wedding was one of those weddings that you remember for a long time. It was full of love, joy and beauty, and it reflected their personality and style. I’m so happy I was part of it, and I wish them all the best in their new life together.
