Film Wedding & Engagement Photography in Spain
CAPTURING YOUR LOVE STORY IN SPAIN
From sun-drenched Mediterranean coasts to historic plazas, Spain offers an enchanting backdrop for couples seeking to capture their love story through the timeless medium of film photography. As your destination photographer in Spain, I create intentional, light-filled imagery that celebrates both your connection and the romantic Spanish landscapes that frame it.
Whether it's among the winding streets of ancient villages, aboard a sailboat in crystal-clear waters, or beneath the ornate architecture of Spain's most iconic landmarks, your engagement photos will capture not just portraits, but moments infused with the magic of Spanish light and culture. I believe in creating images that feel both editorial and deeply personal – photographs that will transport you back to the joy and anticipation of this special time, while showcasing the timeless beauty of film photography in Spain's most romantic settings.
COASTAL ROMANCE
There's something magical about how film captures the gentle Mediterranean light, creating soft, dreamy images that perfectly complement the romance of being at sea. The way film renders blues and neutrals creates a timeless aesthetic that digital simply can't replicate.
Whether you're sailing along the coast or exploring hidden coves, each moment becomes a timeless memory preserved on film. My forever favorite locations for a dreamy engagement session include the wild beauty of Costa Brava with its dramatic cliffs and intimate beaches, the artistic charm of Cadaqués with its whitewashed buildings and Salvador Dalí heritage, the authentic fishing village atmosphere of Palafrugell with its scenic coastal paths, and the romantic promenades of Sitges where golden light meets historic architecture. Each location offers its own unique blend of Spanish coastal charm, creating the perfect backdrop for capturing your love story on film.
These carefully chosen locations provide not just beautiful backgrounds, but experiences that allow your connection to unfold naturally – whether it's exploring hidden coves, walking hand in hand through narrow streets, or watching the sunset from a sailboat.
HISTORIC SPANISH ARCHITECTURE
Spain's architectural treasures provide an unmatched backdrop for your love story. The ornate details of places like Plaza de España in Seville offer endless possibilities for creating romantic, editorial-style portraits while maintaining authentic moments between couples. Each location tells its own story, from grand palaces to intimate courtyards.
Granada with its stunning Alhambra Palace, where centuries-old Islamic architecture creates a backdrop that feels like stepping into a fairytale. The intricate tiles, serene gardens, and the way evening light plays through the ornate archways make every image feel like a Renaissance painting.
Barcelona, with its unique blend of Gothic and Modernist architecture, offers an entirely different kind of magic. The whimsical works of Gaudí in Park Güell provide colorful, artistic backdrops that add a touch of playfulness to your photos. The Gothic Quarter's medieval streets and hidden squares offer intimate settings where light filters through narrow alleys, creating dramatic portraits. The iconic Barcelona Cathedral and its surrounding squares provide both grand architectural elements and charming corners for more intimate shots.
From the majestic Royal Palace of Madrid to the enchanting Real Alcázar in Seville, each historic location adds its own chapter to your love story, captured forever in the timeless medium of film. These architectural wonders not only serve as stunning backdrops but also infuse your images with centuries of romance and artistic heritage.
MEDITERRANEAN VILLAGES
From the colorful harbors of coastal towns to hidden Mediterranean coves, each location creates its own perfect palette for film photography. The pastel buildings and crystal waters result in images that feel both editorial and intimately personal.
These charming villages provide endless opportunities for authentic moments and stunning backdrops.
From Girona to Tarragona and Pals - there are so many hidden gems to capture your dream engagement photographs.
Medieval Girona enchants with its ancient stone walls and the famous colorful houses along the River Onyar. The way film captures the warm tones of the stone against the deep blues of the Spanish sky is simply magical.
Tarragona blends Roman history with Mediterranean charm, where ancient amphitheaters overlook the sea and quiet plazas hide behind city walls. The Roman ruins provide a unique backdrop that adds gravitas to your images, while the Mediterranean balconies and flowering bougainvillea create those perfect candid moments. The Rambla Nova at golden hour offers a perfect promenade for casual, joy-filled shots.
The medieval village of Pals stands as one of Catalunya's most precious hidden gems. Its stone archways, weathered walls, and cobblestone streets transport us to another era. The ancient stone walls and wooden balconies provide endless opportunities for those editorial-style shots that still feel deeply personal.
These charming villages provide endless opportunities for authentic moments and stunning backdrops. Each stone step, each weathered door, each flowering balcony tells its own story – and becomes part of yours, captured forever on film in that distinctive, timeless way that only the Mediterranean light can provide.

Spring (April-May) and early fall (September-October) offer perfect weather and beautiful light. However, each season in Spain has its own unique charm that we can capture on film.

For destination sessions, I recommend booking 3-4 months in advance to ensure availability and allow time for proper planning and location scouting.

As your local photographer, I provide detailed guidance for each location, including hidden gems that only locals know about. I'll help you choose spots that not only photograph beautifully but also avoid tourist crowds and capture the authentic essence of Spain.

Being based in Barcelona and photographing here year-round, I'm well-versed in working with various weather conditions. We'll have backup locations planned, and sometimes, the moody Spanish light after rain creates the most romantic images on film.

Absolutely! As someone who photographs both engagements and weddings throughout Spain, I can help you explore potential wedding venues during your engagement session, making the most of your time here.
