Book a Couples Photoshoot
in Alicante

Most couples sessions last 60 to 90 minutes, which gives you enough time to visit 2-3 locations and capture a wide variety of natural, relaxed poses and candid moments together. During this time, your photographer will guide you through different backdrops — perhaps starting at a scenic viewpoint, moving to a charming side street, and finishing at a waterfront or garden. Longer 2-hour sessions are perfect for couples who want to explore more of a city. Book your session with Photo Spain and let us match you with the ideal photographer for your style.

The golden rule is to coordinate without matching — choose complementary colors and classic styles that reflect your personality. Solid colors and muted tones (navy, cream, sage, terracotta) photograph beautifully against Spain's warm-toned architecture and lush green landscapes. Avoid busy patterns, large logos, or neon colors that can distract from you as a couple. Comfortable shoes are essential, especially in Madrid and Barcelona where cobblestone streets and hillside viewpoints are common. Bring a second outfit if you'd like variety — many couples change halfway through longer sessions. Your Photo Spain photographer will provide a personalized style guide based on your chosen location, season, and time of day.

Golden hour — the hour after sunrise or before sunset — provides the most flattering, warm, romantic light and is universally recommended by professional photographers. In Spain, sunset times range from around 5:30pm in winter to 9:00pm in summer, so plan accordingly. Sunset sessions in Madrid and Barcelona are especially popular because the westward-facing viewpoints catch the light over the city rooftops beautifully. Sunrise shoots are quieter and give you famous landmarks nearly to yourselves, which is ideal for Toledo or heavily touristed areas. Midday sessions can work but require a photographer experienced with harsh light. Your Photo Spain photographer will recommend the ideal timing for your specific location and season.

Professional photoshoots in Alicante start from €310. Packages differ in length and in how many edited photos are included, so you can choose anything from a short walk along the Explanada to a longer session that also climbs to the castle viewpoints. If you want to shoot up the coast — Altea, Calpe, Guadalest — agree the route with the photographer in advance, because that turns it into a half-day.

In the city: the Explanada de España with its marble wave and palms, the marina, Postiguet beach under the rock, the painted houses and steps of the Barrio de Santa Cruz, and the terraces of the Santa Bárbara castle for the view over the whole bay. Within an hour along the coast: Altea's white old town under its blue-tiled dome, the Peñón de Ifach at Calpe, the pine-backed coves of Xàbia, and the castle village of Guadalest in the mountains inland.

Early morning and the last hour before sunset. Alicante is one of the sunniest cities in Spain, and in July and August the midday light is hard and flat while the beaches are at their fullest; the same places are quiet and warm-toned at either end of the day. Winter is the local secret — mild, clear and empty enough to photograph the Explanada or the castle without a crowd.
