One of our couples on TV3! (May, 5th, 2012)

The wedding ceremony for the first Japanese couple was coordinated by Joia Weddings-Alice Wedding. The event took place on the 24th of October, 2013 in FC Barcelona's Camp Nou. Unforgettable!


The first Japanese couple that got married in FC Barcelona's Camp Nou have become news in Spain and other countries.
Five online publications, two newspapers and a TV channel have featured that wedding coordinated by Joia Weddings and Alice Wedding.
The fact that this ceremony has become a matter of public knowledge is not detrimental to the authenticity of the feelings or the development of the ceremony. In the words of the groom: "It has been one of the most important days in our life. We will never forget it. The photo tour around Barcelona, the wedding aperitif and later, the wedding in Camp Nou have surpassed our expectations."

Is there any sense in celebrating wedding anniversaries?

Indeed!
To commemorate an anniversary is a way to reconfirm our wish to keep on sharing our life with our chosen partner.
Every joyful celebration is the display of a well lived life.
Your silver anniversary deserves, moreover, a special studio photo.

Barcelona, a city with charm

Diversity is, among others, what makes Barcelona so attractive. When our couples are interested in having a PHOTO TOUR around the city, the first thing we want to do is to know the couple better to be aware of their expectations. In fact, whatever they expect, it can be found in that city or its sorroundings. Let us help you in making your photo tour memorable.

Photo reportage in black and white

Mr.Daido Moriyama, the well-known Japanese photographer says that photos in black and white are more erotic to him. Perhaps some of us share his way of thinking, we could also say that black and white photos give priority to meaning over aesthetics.

As you can see, each black and white phots taken by MAY (Zircus) is a piece of poetry that looks like lace.

How would you like a wedding or an anniversary photo reportage in vibrant black and white?

An entrance fee will be required to visit Park Güell

It has been established that an entrance fee of 8€ (7€, if bought in advance) will be required to visit Park Güell from October, 2013. Residents will be exempt from the payment though.

Will this measure discourage our newlyweds? Or will the charm of that park be strong enough to keep on attracting our couples for a photo reportage ?

Photo tour in Andalusia

Joia Weddings offers you the opportunity to have a photo tour in several Spanish cities. The lovely couple you see in the collage had a wedding ceremony in Barcelona after which they wanted us to coordinate a photo tour in Córdoba for them. It was so much fun!

Professional make up and hair dressing

Some of our couples choose very carefully the services they need for their wedding.

We strongly recommend a professional make up and a hair dressing services because they make the difference in the way you feel and in how you look in the photo reportage.

Great moments need great pictures: Studio Photographs

May (Zircus Foto)’s Studio Photographs never stop mesmerizing our couples.

What they have in common is that peculiar Velazquian touch and the playful dialogue between  light and shadow. Yet, the final result is always unpredictable as the photographer never interferes, he simply observes the couple expressing themselves and captures the right moment. Studio Photographs are a real temptation when two people are at the peak of their relationship or when they want to celebrate a long lived life together.

One of our couples on TV3! (May, 5th, 2012)

The charming couple we had coordinated a wedding for and whom you can see on minute 46, was very lucky indeed. Firstly for having been able to marry at a very special  venue in Barcelona,  and secondly for having been able to have a few pictures taken at their favorite stadium. However that was not all as in the evening , the same couple went back to Camp Nou to witness a heartwarming farewell for the already legendary FCB’s Pep Guardiola.

Kansai International Airport

If you are going to get married or celebrate a wedding anniversary in Osaka or Kyoto, we recommend you to land at Kansai International Airport

This airport is one of the most beautiful in the world and one of the most expensive civil engineering projects ever known.

Designed by Renzo Piano, the same architech who designed Pompidu Center in Paris)  and constructed on an artificial island, it was inaugurated in 1994.

Head pieces for brides in Kimono

With a ceremonial kimono in white (Shiromuku), the appropriate headpiece is a wig on the top of which a white hood is worn. This hood or “Wataboshi” conceals partially the face.

With a ceremonial kimono in bright colors (Irouchikake) a wig is also used but instead of a hood, the “Tsunokakushi” is worn. This headdress is to conceal the horns of jealousy.


However, the number of brides who, without distinction of the kimono they wear, favor a more natural and comfortable headdress, prefer natural flowers, decoration made with fabric or lacquered head pieces.

Ceremonies in Japan. About kimonos

An unforgettable ceremony deserves an unforgettable outfit. The choices of the groom are quite limited, but the bride can choose among the following:

Ceremonial kimono in white (Shiromuku). This kimono is all in white symbolizing that the bride is ready to blend into the colors and lifestyle of her new family.

Ceremonial kimono in bright colors (Irouchikake) Richly embroidered, it can be considered the most luxurious kimono.

Ceremonial kimono with long sleeves (Hikifurisode) This kimono is worn in a way that it drags a little on the ground. Samurais’ daughters used to wear this kind of kimono when they got married.

Formal kimono (Irotomesode) This kimono is used on occasions that require a very formal outfit. However, as it is easier to wear and much more comfortable, it is a favorite among the brides who choose Japan to reconfirm their wedding vows or to commemorate a wedding anniversary.
