Sean Azzopardi Photography

Sean Azzopardi is a full-time, qualified photographer based in Birkirkara, in the middle of Malta, and wedding photography is the work he is best known for. For British couples planning a wedding on the island, he offers a local photographer who knows the venues, the light and the pace of a Maltese wedding day. He also takes portraits, baby and maternity pictures, fashion and events.

You can find him with other photography studios in Malta in our directory, and compare his approach with colleagues such as the studio listed as AldoPics photography or Anaca Photography in Gozo and Malta.

About Sean

Sean is passionate and attentive to detail, someone who enjoys getting to know people, learning their stories and being trusted to document their lives. He cannot imagine doing anything else. His working style is summed up as fun, creative and efficient, and his motto is about capturing the moments of today that will wow your heart tomorrow.

He was named Malta Photographer of the Year in 2011 and again in 2016. He has also exhibited his work at a Maltese wedding fair, where couples can look at his pictures in person. Many UK couples who marry in Malta choose a photographer in advance, and an established local name is a reassuring starting point.

Weddings from start to finish

The gallery is organised around the wedding day itself. Pre-wedding sessions come first, followed by getting ready, the ceremony and celebration, and post-wedding pictures. The sample images show a bride preparing in front of a mirror, bridesmaids in matching robes, a groom cutting the cake as guests throw petals, and couples posed outdoors against old stone walls and doors, beside vintage cars and on a yacht at sea.

That range shows a mix of styles, from warm colour reportage to sepia and black-and-white pictures, plus close-up detail shots such as wedding rings. Sean also offers photographic video and editing, so pictures and film can come from the same photographer. Talk to him about which style suits your day.

Portraits, families and events

Away from weddings, Sean photographs maternity shoots, babies, portraits, fashion and events. Each has its own gallery on the website. For visitors, a portrait session is a pleasant way to bring home pictures of a holiday that are better than phone snaps, and a pre-wedding or couples shoot is a natural fit for an engagement or anniversary trip.

If you are choosing a backdrop, our guides to Valletta city guide and Mdina old city guide show two of the island's most photogenic towns, and the best beaches in Malta page covers coastal settings. Ask Sean which locations suit your plans before you commit.

Planning a Malta wedding or shoot

Timing matters for outdoor photography. Our Malta weather guide shows what to expect each month, and the where to stay in Malta guide helps you pick a base near your venue. Flowers are another detail to settle early, and Alistair Floral Design is a nearby florist listed with us.

Visitors with spare days can browse things to do in Malta for ideas to combine with a shoot. A relaxed approach helps: tell Sean what matters most to you, whether that is the ceremony, the family groups or a few quiet portraits as a couple, and give him a rough timetable for the day so he can plan the coverage around it.
