What makes film photography special for weddings?

Film has a warmth and depth that digital can get close to but never quite matches — especially in Mediterranean light. Each roll is limited, so I'm more intentional with every frame. The result is fewer images, but every one is considered. There's also something about the process that changes the day itself: I move slower, I'm more present, and couples feel the difference.

Do you shoot only film or a combination of film and digital?

I use a hybrid approach: medium format film for portraits and key moments, digital for fast-paced ceremony and reception coverage. Engagement sessions and elopements are usually 100% film.

Will we still receive digital files of our images?

Yes — every collection includes high-resolution digital images delivered through a private online gallery. All film is developed and scanned at Carmencita Film Lab.

What types of film do you use and how does this affect the final look of our images?

I work primarily with Kodak Portra 400 and Portra 800 for colour — both chosen for how they handle Mediterranean light, rendering soft pastels, warm skin tones, and luminous highlights that suit Spain's coastal venues and golden hours. For black and white, I use Ilford Delta for its depth and timeless elegance. Every roll is selected based on your venue, the season, and the quality of light on the day.

What sets you apart from other wedding photographers?

A decade of shooting on film, in Spain, for destination couples. My approach is editorial but never staged — I direct with a light touch and document the rest. The result is images that look considered and feel real. My work has been featured in Wedding Sparrow, Style Me Pretty, and French Wedding Style, and I accept no more than fifteen weddings per year so every couple gets my full creative attention.

How many photographers will be at our wedding?

For elopements I shoot solo — it keeps the day intimate, quiet, and entirely yours. For Signature, Mediterranean, and Destination Europe celebrations, a second professional film photographer works alongside me. Two perspectives, twice the angles, and a smoother flow throughout your day.

Do you photograph destination weddings across Spain?

Yes — I photograph weddings across all of Spain, from Barcelona and Mallorca to Andalusia, Toledo, and beyond. See my destination pages for location-specific details and venue guides.

What is your workflow for destination weddings in Spain?

For destination weddings in Spain and Europe, I typically arrive 1–2 days before your celebration to scout the location in ideal lighting conditions. If you're having a welcome dinner or rehearsal, I attend to familiarize myself with the venue and key family members. This preparation ensures we maximize the beautiful light and architectural elements on your wedding day.

What is the investment for wedding photography in Spain?

The Intimate Collection starts from €3,800. Most couples choose the Signature (from €5,000) or Mediterranean (from €7,500) collections. See the full breakdown on the Investment page.

How soon after the wedding can we see our photos?

You'll receive preview images within 7 days of your wedding (or within 24–48 hours with Signature and above). Your complete gallery will be delivered within 6–8 weeks.

Will our photos be retouched?

All images receive professional editing for color, tone, and minor retouching. For specific extensive retouching requests, additional fees may apply depending on the complexity.

Do you photograph pre-wedding events and engagement sessions in Spain?

Yes — engagement sessions and welcome event coverage can be added to any collection or booked standalone. Most couples find the engagement session invaluable: you get comfortable in front of the camera, we figure out how you move together, and you walk away with beautiful images months before the wedding.

Do you offer video services alongside photography?

Yes — I offer Super 8 vintage film video as a standalone service or add-on. See the full details on the Services page.

Can we get content specifically for social media?

Yes — the Content Creator service delivers professionally shot reels, clips, and photos within 24–48 hours of your wedding. Full details on the Services page.
