As a destination photographer I have captured weddings pretty much everywhere, but plying my trade in southern Spain has meant that I have become particularily fond of some specific venues in this part of the world which are always guaranteed to provide the perfect setting for wedding celebrations, and a gorgeous backdrop for the happy couple’s wedding photography.

MY FAVOURITE WEDDING VENUES IN SPAIN:

There is no doubt that southern Spain has always been a top destination for brides and grooms around the world who come here to exchange their vows and celebrate their union, and even in these tough days of pandemic where travel restrictions, economic hardships, and uncertainty about the future, the lure of guaranteed sunshine, warm temperatures, beautiful locations and stunning beaches have kept this part of the world which I call home a favourite with wedding couples from far and wide. Add to the mix a culture that prides itself on its hospitality, diversity, and its love of eating well, dancing, and letting the cerveza flow all night, and the scene is set for the perfect wedding celebration.
