When we began making notes, mood boards and drawing up ideas for a wedding-themed collector’s edition of White Ibiza Magazine, we instinctively knew that we needed to enlist a director of photography who didn't just have an amazing eye for shooting and selecting wedding photography – they needed to make us feel the love on every single page. Enter Berlin-born, Ibiza-based photographer Maria Simon Photography, a long-time collaborator and friend of White Ibiza who believes that beauty really is romance. Not only that – she's a self-confessed hopeless romantic.
In addition to spending hundreds of hours poring over photography submissions and curating each and every image you see across our 212 beautiful pages, Maria also sat down with her co-conspirator and fellow romantic, our creative director, , to share the story of how a childhood spent in the austerity of East Berlin in the 1970s and 1980s ultimately led her to the magical Mediterranean island of Ibiza where she now spends her time capturing her clients' own happily-ever-afters.
Read the full exclusive-to-print interview (where we finally turned the camera lens on Maria herself, with the help of photographer Marcella Koronna) in White Ibiza Magazine Issue 11: The Wedding Edition, to find out more about the journey that traverses fashion and lifestyle photography (including a life-changing shoot with Lady Gaga), the transition from film to digital and back again, and her work as a destination wedding photographer and founder of Marnosuite.
You'll also spy Maria's dreamy images in three of our Real Wedding articles as well as her stunning cover photo, shot at Ca Na Xica in the island's north, providing the perfect real-life inspiration for anyone starting to plan their future Ibiza wedding. The Wedding Edition is available to order at the link below – delivered worldwide.
