Book a Wedding Photoshoot
in Marbella

For peak wedding season (May through October), we strongly recommend booking 6-12 months in advance, especially for Saturday weddings at popular venues. Spain's top wedding photographers often have their prime summer dates booked a full year ahead, particularly in sought-after regions like the Costa del Sol, Toledo, and La Rioja. For off-season weddings (November through April), you'll have more flexibility and may find availability with 2-3 months notice. Weekday weddings also tend to have better photographer availability year-round. When you find a photographer you love on Photo Spain, secure your date with a deposit to lock in their availability — the earlier you book, the wider your selection of top-rated professionals.

Most destination wedding couples book 8-12 hours of photography coverage, which captures the complete story from getting-ready preparations through the ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, speeches, first dance, and party. For more intimate weddings (under 30 guests) or shorter celebrations, 6 hours of coverage may be sufficient to capture all the key moments. Full-day packages of up to 16 hours are available for extended celebrations that start with morning preparations and continue through a late-night party or after-party. When estimating your needs, consider adding a buffer of 1-2 hours beyond what you think you'll need — the candid moments between events are often the most treasured. Your Photo Spain photographer will help you build a realistic photography timeline during your pre-wedding consultation.

Yes — Photo Spain photographers cover weddings across the entire country, from the Basque Country in the north to the southern Costa del Sol coast, and even the islands of Tenerife and Mallorca. Travel within the photographer's home region (typically a 50-80km radius) is included in standard packages at no extra charge. For weddings in other regions — for example, a Madrid-based photographer traveling to an Costa del Sol venue — a small travel fee may apply to cover transport and accommodation. This fee is always shown upfront and transparently in each photographer's package listing, so there are no surprises. Many photographers also offer multi-day packages for destination weddings that include a rehearsal dinner shoot or day-after session, which is especially popular for international couples hosting a wedding weekend in Spain.

Puerto Banús gives the polished version: yachts, palms and evening light on white hulls. Five minutes inland the Casco Antiguo is the opposite — the Plaza de los Naranjos, whitewashed lanes under cascades of geraniums, and the old city walls. Add the Paseo Marítimo promenade, the beach at golden hour, and the Sierra Blanca standing behind almost every wide frame.

Golden hour on the beach is the reason most people book here, with the Sierra Blanca catching the last light behind the sand. The old town lanes are deep enough to work at midday, but the Plaza de los Naranjos fills with restaurant tables from lunchtime — early morning is the only time it is clear. July and August are hot and crowded; May, June, September and October are kinder.

Yes — they are only about five minutes apart by car, and the contrast between them is exactly what makes a Marbella set interesting. The practical limits are parking, which sits outside the old town, and the light: you get one golden hour, so decide in advance which of the two deserves it. Your photographer will plan the order around that.
