The day, the way you picture it

Coverage starts before the dress and ends when the dancing stops being photogenic. Preparations without choreography, the ceremony from where it can actually be seen, formals fast, the evening loose. First, though, we talk: how the day should feel in the photos, and whether they're for an album, your walls or everyone you know.

You get the frames you asked for and a good number you didn't — the ones that happen while everyone assumes the photographer has stopped.

What each package covers

your photos in 7 days — not months!

The elopement is two hours: getting ready, the ceremony, portraits of the two of you and the golden hour, with 200 edited photographs. The half day is six hours and adds getting ready for both of you, family groups, the drinks reception, dinner, speeches and the first dance, with 400. The full day is ten hours, carries on into the party and brings 600.

Every package includes a call before the wedding, help building the day's timeline and behind-the-scenes photos or video. If the day runs long, extra hours are €250 each.

Civil, religious or symbolic — including humanist and secular (laïque) ceremonies led by a celebrant, which many couples from abroad choose after doing the legal part at home. I photograph them all the same way: from where the ceremony can actually be seen.

Add-ons, paid extra and priced on request: a post-wedding session in Andalusia on another day; the wedding weekend — welcome drinks the evening before and the brunch or party the day after; and vow renewals or anniversaries. I also photograph weddings and sessions abroad, with the price agreed individually.

After the wedding

Your photographs arrive within seven days, not months: a private online gallery with high-resolution files and no watermark, and a private album page on this site that only people with the link can open. The gallery stays online for twelve months, so download everything in that time.

You may print and share them as you like for personal use. I edit every photograph I deliver myself; unedited RAW files are not included.

Languages, travel and booking

English · Français · Polski · Русский

I work in English, French, Polish and Russian, which helps when the two families don't share a language. I'm based in La Herradura; travel within 100 km is included, and beyond that it is €1 per kilometre.

To book, hold your date in the calendar — it stays yours for 72 hours while we talk. A signed agreement and a 30% booking payment reserve it; the remaining 70% is due 30 days before the wedding. I photograph one wedding per day.
