Honeymoon Photographer in Rioja Alavesa & Laguardia

Professional photoshoots in Rioja Alavesa start from €279. Packages vary by duration and by the number of edited photos included, so one to two hours usually falls between €279 and €450. Laguardia, Ysios and Elciego are all within ten minutes of each other, so a short session can still take in a village, a winery and the vines.

The walled lanes and ramparts of Laguardia, with the carved doorway of Santa María de los Reyes; the wave-shaped aluminium roof and reflecting pool at Ysios, with the Sierra de Cantabria directly behind; the titanium ribbons of Marqués de Riscal above the village of Elciego; and the vineyard rows themselves, which change colour completely between May and November.

Late September and October, when the leaves turn gold and red and the sierra keeps its grey wall behind them. Light works early and late: the vines are flat and open, so midday sun is hard and unflattering. Summer afternoons regularly pass thirty-five degrees, and winter gives bare, graphic rows with snow sometimes lying on the ridge.

The buildings can be photographed from the public roads and the vineyard tracks around them, which is where most of the frames are taken. Both estates are private working wineries: going inside the grounds means booking a tour, and a photographer working on site normally needs the winery's permission first. Check each estate's rules before you plan the session.

Many couples book their photoshoot for the second or third day of their honeymoon, once they've settled in, recovered from jet lag, and explored the area a bit. This timing also gives you a weather buffer — if rain is forecast for day two, you can easily shift to day three or four. Evening golden hour sessions are the most popular for honeymooners, typically starting 1-2 hours before sunset for the warmest, most romantic light. If your honeymoon involves multiple cities (a common Spain itinerary is Madrid, Toledo, then Costa del Sol or Barcelona), consider booking a session in the city that excites you most visually. Photo Spain makes it easy to book — simply choose your preferred date and time during checkout and your photographer will confirm within 24 hours.
