Hi, I'm Dimitri, a destination wedding photographer based in Barcelona. My clients are the centre stage of our photography. I create with an open heart dedicated exclusively to them.

They are made to evoke the strongest feelings about life.

Hi, I'm Alex, from Bucharest (Romania) and I'm in love with my daughter, my wife and wedding photography. After years doing commercial photography, I decided to let all go and chase for memories and love. This was not a difficult decision at all. Getting married to my beautiful wife I discovered this beautiful art through the eyes of two wonderful photographers. I just loved the idea of being the one who shapes through light and shadows to memories and people's feelings from such an emotional day.
It's now been 6 years, and I don't see myself doing something else other than wedding photography. This beautiful form of art brought me so much satisfaction, like national and international awards, wedding conferences, participating as a speaker, including the honor of judging amazing images from our colleagues here at WPS.

We are Tara Theilen and Matt Theilen. Just two people in love with life and passionate about what we do. We met in 1998 when Matt was living in his VW van, spending winters rock climbing in Joshua Tree while Tara was finishing up graduate school in Tucson. Over the next 9 years we were friends living our lives in different places. We would see each other and hang out from time to time, mostly high up on a rock face or on some long, mosquito-ridden approach in the Sierras. We were both rock climbers and sought out the solitude and adventure of the mountains. In 2007 a tragedy brought us together (this is a story best told in person) and we needed to be near each other, so Tara moved out to Lake Tahoe. We soon fell in love with each other and naturally, we united forces photographing weddings and building this amazing business together. We have never looked back. Our little family in the mountains consists of our creatively quirky and curious daughter Zoe, and our dog Daisy.
