This relaxed couple planned to celebrate their wedding at El Molino del Duque in Southern Spain. 

This couple wanted to keep everything extremely relaxed. They wanted flash, and they wanted fun. They wanted it captured as it occurred. Minimal portraits, no formal ceremony and an evening celebration to remember.

The Yasmin Daoud team and catering team Goyo created the most beautiful and intimate indoor banquet to shelter from the November elements.

El Molino del Duque is one of Southern Spain’s most sought after wedding venues located between Marbella and Sotogrande. The different areas allow lots of different approaches to how a couple can make their wedding look unique to their wants. As a wedding photographer in Marbella I have the opportunity to work with couples who want their Spanish wedding to stand out in a way that is unique to them. It requires time and discussion to understand the exact wants of a couple but the hands on approach is important to how I capture a day

As a wedding photographer in Spain my style has three main elements, the first of which is in every wedding, the documentary (journalistic) style capturing the joy and action of the day it’s the storytelling that is an intrinsic part of every wedding. I use our meetings to get a good feel for what a couple wants in their images. By taking on fewer weddings per year I can become more hands on in my approach to a couples day

The second element is the editorial which I use more for some couples and less for others. It’s using a mixture of drama and fun to create contemporary imagery that look more fitting to images in a magazine in their appearance. 

The third is a blend of elements one and two but it stands apart and that is artistic imagery. I forever search for something new and different.

With this wedding there was a lean into the journalistic with touches of Editorial. It was the right approach for this couple.
