Photography
Close
Your hands might be shaking. The dress may have a wrinkle.
Someone’s uncle is running late. The sun might be hotter than expected.
And still — you look at your person, and the whole world melts away.
That’s the special moment I photograph.
As a portrait photographer in Malaga and Marbella, I don’t chase perfection. I seek truth.
The raw, messy, beautiful truth of your wedding day — the stolen glances, the tears no one else saw, the way your shoulders finally drop the second you say “I do.”
This isn’t just a wedding. It’s a feeling. A memory still becoming.
Let’s talk about Málaga — not just as a city, but as a cinematic stage.
The golden light. The soft sea breeze. The timeless textures of Málaga’s Old Town — those tiled courtyards, arched doorways, hidden rooftops.
It’s romantic, it’s alive, and it’s steeped in atmosphere that no studio could recreate.
Whether you’re planning an intimate elopement in Marbella, a large wedding in Malaga, or a destination celebration somewhere in between — this corner of southern Spain gives your love story a backdrop of light and soul. I have to admit that it’s one of my favourite spots of my experience of capturing stories around the world and photographing weddings and my passion for photography here grew even more.
As a destination wedding photographer based in Costa del Sol, I’ve explored the quiet magic of this region — from barefoot walks on the beach in Nerja, tucked-away rooftops in Malaga, charming courtyards in Granada and beautiful streets in Estepona, that feel like they were made for that special day.
And the light here? Let’s just say… you’ll remember the glow forever.
One bride forgot her bouquet.
We picked wildflowers on the walk to the ceremony. Tied it together.
It was perfect — her hands full of herbs and blooms.
Another couple hired a guitarist without telling anyone.
He started playing during the first dance — and suddenly, everyone was crying. Including me.
Not every moment goes to plan. But the best ones rarely do.
Being a professional wedding photo grapher is about more than angles and gear — it’s about presence. And that presence becomes the difference between a posed image and a memory frozen in time.
Here’s what helps:
Let go of the Pinterest board.
Let the day unfold. The best photographs come from spontaneity.
Sneak away for 10 minutes before sunset — it’s where the magic hides.
Those golden-hour portraits will be some of your favorites.
Grandma’s necklace. Handwritten vows. Your dog’s flower collar.
Those tiny pieces carry weight — and photograph beautifully.
This one is obvious, but worth repeating: hire a professional photographer who feels right.
Not just technically good — but emotionally aligned with how you want to remember this day.
Well, not just someone with a fancy camera (though I’ve got that too).
You want someone who blends in when needed, steps up when needed more.
Someone who catches the quiet in-between moments, not just the loud ones.
Someone who photographs emotion, not just events.
I don’t show up with a rigid plan. I show up with curiosity, reverence, and a deep respect for love in all its forms.
Your wedding photography should feel like you — honest, timeless, a little messy around the edges, and full of soul.
You’ll blink, and this day will become a memory.
Let’s make it a vivid one. A photograph that smells like saltwater and roses.
That brings you back to that soft whisper of “I love you” right before the ceremony.
That keeps your loved ones close — even the ones who couldn’t be there.
