If your Pinterest board is mostly Spanish light and a firm promise of no stiff posing, we are already on the same team. I photograph luxury weddings across Spain with an editorial-candid approach — a little gentle direction when it flatters, pure documentary when the magic is happening on its own. The result is a coffee-table album that actually lives on the table, not in a box.
What editorial candid really means
You do not need to be models. You need rhythm. I set a few anchor moments so the story has shape, then let the day breathe.
-
A softly guided first look or a private vow moment that takes ten to fifteen minutes
-
Two mini portrait windows near golden hour, each about ten minutes, one before the ceremony if timing allows and one as the sky warms
-
Zero intrusion during ceremony, cocktails, dance floor and all the beautiful chaos your friends will retell for years
A quick story from last season in Seville — a breeze tried to turn the veil into a kite right as the guitarist started. One discreet hairpin, five seconds, and the frame became a cover shot. That is the vibe. Helpful when needed, invisible when not.
Spain by feeling rather than checklist
Spain is a mood ring with tapas. A few muses to spark your imagination.
-
Barcelona and Costa Brava — sculpted gardens, modernist lines, clifftop greenery with sea haze at the edge
-
Mallorca and Ibiza — fortress walls, limestone courtyards, late sunsets and a friendly breeze that loves veils
-
Seville and Andalusia — tiled patios, white villages, orange-blossom evenings and warm hospitality
-
La Rioja and the North — vineyards, contemporary architecture, rolling clouds that paint the light
-
Granada and the Paradores — courtyards of quiet stone and lantern glow after sundown
No venue links here by your request, yet I am happy to coordinate permits and logistics with your planner once you have a shortlist.
Light, months and an easy timeline
May and June, then September and October, are the sweet spot for comfort and light. Islands and coast stay kind to ceremonies later in the day, while inland cities prefer shade until afternoon.
-
Golden hour in June around Barcelona often lands close to nine to half past nine in the evening. By October it drifts toward seven in the evening
-
In Seville, plan ceremonies after late afternoon and find shade for guests during pre-ceremony spritzes
-
On Mallorca and Ibiza, bring a trusted friend on veil duty and choose portrait corners with a wind break
-
Two short portrait windows beat one marathon every time — you get variety and more party
Planning intel couples thank me for later
-
Comfortable shoes for cobblestone and a second pair for the dance floor
-
A tiny kit with spare hairpins, blotting papers, micro cloth for glasses and phone screens
-
Assign a confetti captain who cues the crowd and keeps the aisle clear
-
Seat elderly guests where shade or blankets are easy to reach depending on the season
-
If the ceremony is outdoors, place the sun behind you or stand fully in shade so eyes are relaxed and skin looks even
-
Legal versus symbolic ceremony — many international couples sign the paperwork at home and celebrate in Spain to keep the timeline smooth
-
Have a real Plan B under a roof that still feels like you, not a last-minute corner that looks like storage
Pricing without guesswork
I do not list numbers here because every Spanish wedding is its own ecosystem. For a clear proposal, tell me your date, region, how many hours you imagine, and whether you want welcome drinks, day-after portraits or a brunch story. Factors that move the quote
-
Coverage design for one day or a weekend
-
Mainland versus islands and travel logistics
-
Team size such as second photographer or assistant
-
Deliverables and turnaround timing
-
Video by our team that matches the look and color science of the photographs
Send a note and I will reply with tailored pricing, example timelines and sample galleries for a similar style of celebration.
Two quick scenarios couples often compare
-
City one-day in Barcelona — a late afternoon ceremony, golden-hour portraits, elegant dinner and a lively first dance. Efficient logistics, minimal transfers, strong architectural backdrops
-
Island weekend on Mallorca — welcome drinks at sunset, wedding day with coastal wind planning, and a relaxed day-after editorial session near the water or in a quiet village
Both options photograph beautifully. The difference is pace, logistics and how much time you want to spend with guests across the weekend.
FAQ in plain words
How far in advance should we book for 2025 or 2026
Prime weekends in late May, June and late September tend to disappear first. Friday or Sunday celebrations, and mid-week estate hires, usually have more flexibility. Message me with your date and I will confirm availability the same day.
How many photos will we receive
Enough to tell the truth with care, without padding. Every delivered image is fully edited and arrives in a private gallery with download and print rights.
Do you bring backup gear and how do you store files
Always. Redundant cameras, lenses and power on the day, and doubled data at multiple points after. Your images are treated like heirlooms from the first click.
Do you offer video
Yes. Our team includes dedicated videographers who craft cinematic films that pair seamlessly with the photos. Same rhythm, same color, no competing agendas.
Do we need permits at historic or protected sites
Rules vary by location. I coordinate with your planner and venue so we stay respectful and efficient.
A small map for the day that keeps everyone smiling
Morning slow and calm, plenty of water and light snacks. A first look if you want that bubble of quiet. Ceremonies positioned with the sun behind or with full shade. Two ten-minute portrait windows that feel like a walk, not a production. Thirty minutes of no-camera dinner time so you can breathe and taste the menu. Then the dance floor, where I am close enough to capture the joy and far enough that you forget about me.
Let us make this easy and a little romantic
Pour a glass of Rioja or a café con leche and wander through real stories on my Portfolio and Journal. When you want the practical part, open the Photography Collections and tell me what feels like you so I can tailor a proposal and availability for your date. For moving pictures shaped in the same calm editorial spirit, meet our team through the Video Portfolio. If your heart is already set, say hello on the Contact page and I will confirm your date and send the next steps.
Why couples and planners trust me
I specialize in luxury destination weddings across Spain and blend editorial taste with honest candid storytelling. I work closely with planners and venues, map light for each part of the day, keep timelines humane and flexible, and maintain a calm presence that lets people be themselves. Technical craft matters here — consistent color, archival-safe edits, careful backup and delivery — but so does empathy and tempo. When an Andalusian breeze tries to audition your veil, I am already a step ahead. When grandparents laugh at a toast, I am there without being seen. Photo by me, film by our team when you want both in perfect sync.
