Wedding photography in Granada

Few cities give a wedding a set like Granada: the Alhambra cut against the Sierra Nevada, the Albaicín carmenes with their myrtle patios and fountains, the Sacromonte caves where flamenco truly beats. Here a wedding isn't staged against a pretty backdrop — it's celebrated inside a landscape with centuries of history.

My way of working is documentary and discreet: I tell the day as it happens, without interrupting it. I chase the light, the glances and the small gestures — the mother fixing the veil, the moved grandfather, the first dance under the lanterns — and build from them an honest story, not an album of repeated poses.

I begin with the preparations — in a city-centre hotel or an Albaicín carmen — and follow the whole thread: the ceremony, the cocktail, the dinner and the party. For the couple portraits we slip away a while at golden hour: the Mirador de San Nicolás with the Alhambra ablaze, a white Albaicín lane, a carmen patio, or the Sacromonte caves if you want character and flamenco.

I know the light timings and the logistics of every corner: when the sun hits the wall head-on, which viewpoint is free of crowds at dawn, how to square the ceremony with sunset. If you ask, I coordinate with a second shooter so we never lose the groom's reaction as the bride arrives, nor the dance floor while the intimate portraits are made.

Spring and autumn are the best season: clear skies, kind temperatures and long light at sunset. In winter snow crowns the Sierra Nevada behind the Alhambra and gives spectacular backdrops; summer calls for late-in-the-day ceremonies to dodge the heat. Book months ahead, and if the wedding includes an Alhambra visit, arrange the tickets early.

Every wedding is different, so I work by project, made to measure. Full day coverage starts from around €900 and adjusts to the hours, whether you want a second shooter, a separate couple session or another day, a printed album or video.

I deliver an edited high-resolution digital gallery within five to ten days after the wedding — a first preview with a selection sooner — ready to share, print and relive the day exactly as it was.
