The narrative encounter between the caribbean and the mediterranean: a documented love story.

The essence of a Destination Wedding in Mallorca does not reside only in the change of geography, but in the powerful fusion of cultures. The union of Elira and Mario, with their roots in the Dominican Republic and the choice of the island as their destination, generated a unique narrative.

Their celebration, which transitioned from the venerable Church of Sant Francesc to the historic estate Sa Torre de Porreres, demanded to be captured with the honesty and depth of the documentary.

Our work at NICOBASTACINEMA went beyond mere recording. We sought the human architecture of this love, the rhythmic cadence of one world injected into the austere light and noble stone of Mallorca, all meticulously designed and coordinated by the talented Wedding Planner and Event Designer LARA FRAIRE.

 

 

THE ART OF TELLING THE TRUTH: THE DOCUMENTARY ESSENCE AND THE ARCHITECTURE OF EMOTION

At this level of production, technical excellence is a foundation, not an end. Documentary work reaches its maximum expression in moments of intimate revelation, those instants where authenticity is amplified.

THE SETTING: THE GRANDEUR OF SANT FRANCESC AND THE BAY OF PALMA

The choice of locations was key to the narrative. The Hotel Sant Francesc, the starting point, offered a framework of timeless elegance for the preparations. The imposing Church of Sant Francesc, a Gothic monument in Palma, with its atmosphere charged with history and light, provided the solemnity of the ceremony.

To establish the geographical context and the epic scale of this Destination Wedding, we used our legal and safe drone flights. These aerial shots serve as the setting, showcasing the stunning views of the Bay of Palma and the visceral connection between the city, history, and the celebration of Elira and Mario.

 

SOUND: THE INVISIBLE ANCHOR OF DOCUMENTARY NARRATIVE

The truth of a wedding resides in what is felt and what is heard. Our commitment to pristine documentary sound is absolute, because emotion is heard.

     

  • Capture of Audio with Absolute Fidelity: From the fragility of the vows pronounced in the ceremony of Sant Francesc to the strength of the most sincere discourses from loved ones, and the words of the parish priest; every voice inflection, every sigh, was captured with surgical precision. Everything was miked, ensuring that the echo of those feelings reached the film sharply and impeccably. Sound, in our work, is not an accompaniment; it is the irrefutable proof of the truth of that intimate moment.

    •  

  • Rhythm of Editing and Non-Linear Structure: To reflect the emotional complexity of such a day, the editing must be dynamic and reflective. The intimate laughs of the preparation are interwoven with the explosion of the final party, creating a narrative discourse that reveals layers of emotion. The viewer is transported to feel the day, not merely to follow it.

    •  

  • Realistic and Emotional Aesthetic: The process of Color Grading was a narrative decision. We used a palette that honors the Balearic light without losing the warmth and vibrato of the Caribbean. It is a documentary aesthetic that seeks the truth of the skin and the texture of the stone, amplifying their strength.

 

 

THE FIRST ENCOUNTER AT SANT FRANCESC: A FRAGMENT OF PURE EMOTION

The moment Elira and Mario saw each other for the first time, in their wedding looks, at the Hotel Sant Francesc was a sequence of profound beauty. Elira’s charisma and sweetness, enhanced by the magnificent design of YOLANCRIS, were captured with a palpable authenticity.

The talented ERIKA BIARNES and VICTOR LAX planned the scene to perfection so that the moment unfolded with maximum naturalness and emotion. We invite you to watch a fragment of that encounter, where the clarity of the audio reveals the truth of their feelings.

 

 

SA TORRE DE PORRERES: A SCENE THAT BREATHES HISTORY AND DETAIL

Sa Torre de Porreres was not a set; it was an architectural frame that enclosed this promise of love. The estate, with its imposing presence, becomes a symbol of permanence, a perfect counterpoint to the effervescent energy brought by this couple.

The elegance and good taste in the design and direction of LARA FRAIRE were manifested in every detail and tone. Our documentary narrative technique dissolves, allowing pure emotion to take the foreground.

     

  • Live Music and Celebration: The VIP ORCHESTRA elevated the celebration with their live music not only during the welcome cocktail but also energizing the banquet with a contagious energy. Their presence was fundamental to the atmosphere of shared joy.

    •  

  • Integrative Floral Art: The delicate and harmonious setting by FLORISTERIA ES BROT integrated perfectly into the estate. We saw their art in the church arrangements, the decoration of the finca, and the natural flower headbands that added a touch of freshness and beauty.

    •  

  • The Cake Ritual: The precision of the cake by TARTA MANIA MALLORCA became the center of a euphoric moment. Elira and Mario intensely enjoyed the ritual of cutting and tasting the cake, sharing the joy with their guests to the vibrant rhythm of the live music from VIP ORCHESTRA.

 


 

THE COMPLETE FILM: TOTAL IMMERSION IN DOCUMENTARY TRUTH

The complete wedding film offers a total immersion into the experience, where the complexity of the discourses and the depth of the moments are articulated with a unique narrative cohesion.

 

THE INCALCULABLE VALUE OF THE MEMORY: ELIRA’S WORDS

The true success of our work lies in the connection that endures. The confirmation that authenticity and technical rigor amplify emotion eternally comes to us in words like Elira’s:

“The video is too beautiful, a memory forever 🥹🤍 by the best ones !!

… a memory that we will have forever!!!”

YOUR STORY DESERVES THE DEPTH OF DOCUMENTARY CINEMA.

If your vision for the wedding goes beyond a simple videoclip, if you seek an honest and cinematic documentary that captures the essence of who you are, you have come to the right place.
