MALTA WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER & VIDEOGRAPHER


Editorial instinct. Documentary heart. Photography & film by Clara & Rick for destination weddings in Malta and across the Mediterranean.

 

We are Clara & Rick,



The photographer and filmmaker behind Raw Studio — a Paris-born creative duo documenting weddings through stills and motion. Our work blends editorial imagery with documentary storytelling: refined without feeling staged, intentional without taking you away from the moment.


Now based in Malta, we photograph and film destination weddings, intimate celebrations and multi-day wedding weekends across Malta, Gozo and beyond.

MALTA WAS MADE FOR CELEBRATIONS

DESTINATION WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY & FILM IN MALTA

Tall palm trees frame a grand white neoclassical building facade with arched windows and balcony under a partly cloudy sky.

Historic palazzos, honey-coloured stone, Mediterranean gardens, the streets of Valletta and Mdina, and dramatic coastlines create a setting that feels unmistakably European without looking like anywhere else.


Whether you are planning an intimate gathering by the sea or bringing friends and family together for several days of celebrations, we approach your wedding as one complete story.


Beautifully composed when it needs to be.

Completely unscripted when it doesn't.

 

ONE TEAM. ONE CREATIVE DIRECTION.

Photography and film should feel like two parts of the same story.

Clara photographs. Rick films.


We have built Raw Studio together, which means we already understand how the other works — where to stand, when to step in and, more importantly, when to disappear. When booked together, your photography and wedding film are created with one visual language and one creative direction from beginning to end.

No competing teams.No disconnected aesthetics.


Just two perspectives telling the same story.

EDITORIAL EYE, DOCUMENTARY INSTINCT.

BUT YOUR WEDDING IS NOT A PHOTOSHOOT

We guide when a little direction will create a beautiful image, then step back and let everything else unfold.


The hug you didn't see.

Your friends losing it during a speech.

Champagne passed around the table.

Your parents watching you from across the room.

The chaos five minutes before dinner.


Those are often the photographs — and pieces of film — that become the most important. Our approach is about finding the balance between how your wedding looked and how it actually felt.

 

DESTINATION WEDDINGS RARELY BEGIN WITH THE CEREMONY

MULTI-DAY WEDDINGS IN MALTA

We offer photography and filmmaking across one or several days, allowing the entire experience to live together as one cohesive gallery and film.

For larger celebrations and events taking place simultaneously across different locations, additional photographers and filmmakers from our team can join us.

FAQ

Do you offer both wedding photography and videography in Malta ?

Yes. Raw Studio was created by Clara, photographer, and Rick, filmmaker. Photography and film can be commissioned individually or together. When booked as a duo, both are created under one cohesive artistic direction.

Do you photograph destination weddings throughout Malta and Gozo ?

Yes. We are available for weddings and events across Malta and Gozo, as well as destination celebrations throughout Europe and worldwide.

Do you photograph multi-day weddings in Malta ?

Absolutely. Multi-day celebrations are particularly suited to our approach because they allow us to document the complete experience surrounding a destination wedding — from welcome events and pre-wedding celebrations to the wedding itself and events the following day.

What is your photography style ?

Our work blends editorial and documentary wedding photography. We step in when direction improves an image and step away when real life is more interesting. The result is refined imagery without turning your wedding into a photoshoot.

Can you work alongside our wedding planner ?

Of course. For destination weddings we work closely with planners and creative teams before the celebration to understand the timeline, production and overall visual direction.

Are you available for engagement sessions or proposals in Malta ?

Yes. We also photograph and film proposals, engagement sessions, elopements and intimate celebrations throughout Malta.
