Elopement photographer in Seville

With under twenty guests and one continuous afternoon, the afternoon is the whole question in Seville. From June to September the hours a couple can stand outdoors in wedding clothes sit at the two ends of the day, so a summer elopement starts late, at seven or eight, and the four hours run through the low sun and the twenty minutes after sunset when the walls hand the day’s heat back as warm bounce. From late October to early December the timetable loosens: low sun, about 22 degrees, an afternoon that can start well before five. Either way we scout the place the day before, at the hour of the ceremony. Beyond the city we cover Carmona and Itálica, for couples who would rather the day stayed off the town’s busiest streets.

When to book in Seville

The four hours are placed so the portraits fall in the last of the sun. In summer that means starting at seven or eight in the evening, with sunset between about a quarter past nine and a quarter to ten, and dinner well after dark. In late October to early December, starting around three or four gives the ceremony in soft light and portraits as the sun goes down near six. February and March are similar, an hour or so later. Keep clear of Semana Santa and the Feria: restaurants and patios are booked out, and processions or fair traffic can block the walk between places. We visit the ceremony spot the day before at the same hour.
