Malta is full of hidden gems, and every now and then, I come across a location that truly captivates me. Some months ago, I stumbled upon a Facebook post featuring The Orpheum Theatre in Gzira, an architectural masterpiece with rich history and a raw, textured aesthetic. The moment I saw it, I knew it would be an incredible setting for a photoshoot.
Fast forward a few weeks, and an opportunity arose to collaborate with Alamango Fashion for a stunning bridal shoot. The vision was clear—juxtaposing elegant bridal couture against the theatre’s aged grandeur, creating an artistic contrast between soft romance and timeworn beauty.
With the right team in place, we set out to bring this vision to life. The venue provided the perfect atmosphere—moody lighting, textured walls, and a sense of nostalgia that added depth to each shot. The play of light and shadow, the intricate architectural details, and the powerful presence of our models turned this shoot into something truly magical.
