Summer here in Marbella and Malaga doesn’t feel like just a season—it’s a whole vibe. It’s the warmth of the sun on your skin, salty hair, sandy toes, music in the background, and that something in the air that makes you smile without even knowing why. And honestly? There’s no better time to capture that energy in photos.
As a photographer in Marbella and Malaga, I’ve spent countless golden hours chasing the light and snapping moments that feel like summer bottled up in an image. If you’re thinking of booking a shoot (or you already have!), here are a few tips to help you make the most of it.
Early mornings or just before sunset—that’s the sweet spot. The light is soft, golden, flattering… kind of magical. It makes your skin glow and your hair catch the light in all the best ways.
Middle of the day? Super bright, makes you squint, and not ideal for dreamy photos (unless we’re going for full summer sun chaos, which can be a vibe, but yeah—generally, golden hour is king).
Go for flowy stuff—linens, cotton, things that breathe. Summer can get hot, and you want to feel good while moving around.
Neutrals or soft colors always look gorgeous here—especially against the warm tones of Malaga’s old streets or Marbella’s sandy coastlines.
Avoid big logos or busy prints—they can take away from you. But if you’ve got a dress or shirt that makes you feel like a star? Wear it. Confidence > everything.
It sounds obvious, but you’d be surprised how many people forget and end up super tired halfway through. Especially on hotter days. So yeah—hydration is underrated and essential.
If we’re doing a beach shoot, barefoot is usually best (and let’s be honest, it just feels good). But if we’re wandering through the old streets or exploring different spots, bring shoes that won’t make you want to cry after 15 minutes. Style is great, but comfort makes everything more fun.
I love when people bring little personal touches. A hat you love, sunglasses, a book, a scarf, a film camera, even a snack if that’s your thing.
It gives the photos more depth, more you-ness. Sometimes it’s the little random things that tell the biggest story.
This is probably the most important one. The best photos? They’re the unplanned ones. The moments you’re laughing, being silly, dancing a little, or just zoning out and soaking it all in.
Forget perfect posing. I’ll guide you if you need it, but really—I’m here to capture you, not a version of you that you think you’re “supposed” to be. Just… show up as you are. That’s always more than enough.
If you’ve got a specific idea or vibe you’re going for, let me know! Whether it’s soft and romantic, bold and fun, beachy boho, or something totally random—I’m always up for playing around and co-creating something beautiful.
When you work with a photographer in Marbella or Malaga, having that kind of creative connection ahead of time makes everything flow smoother—and the results feel more like you.
Whether you’re visiting Costa del Sol or you’re lucky enough to live here full time, a summer photoshoot is such a cool way to hold onto the magic. Not just pretty photos—but memories. Feelings. The smell of sunscreen, the sound of flip flops on pavement, the golden light in your hair. All of it.
So if you’re looking for a photographer in Marbella or a photographer in Malaga who gets the vibe and makes the process fun, relaxed, and a little bit magical—just say the word. I’m already picturing the light. 📸✨
