Honeymoon photographer in Granada

On a honeymoon the session is one evening out of a week you want to keep unhurried, and Granada is compact enough to allow that. Most of the places worth photographing are a walk from a hotel in the Albaicín or around Plaza Nueva, so we start at your door instead of asking you to cross the city in good clothes. What a honeymoon photographer has to plan for here is the season you married in. A wedding in June or September often means arriving in high summer, when the basin holds 38 degrees and the only comfortable hour outdoors is early morning. Come in winter instead and the sierra is white behind the rooftops, the viewpoints are calmer and the session is done well before dinner. Either way the route goes downhill, and the light we chase is the last hour on the Alhambra.

When to book in Granada

A honeymoon in late October or November is the quiet sweet spot: mild afternoons, short queues, and a sunset early enough to leave the evening free. From mid-December the snow appears behind the city and stays until about mid-April. A summer honeymoon is when most couples arrive and when the city is hardest: 38 degrees, sunset after half past nine and full viewpoints, so we meet at seven, when the lanes are empty and you are back at the hotel before breakfast ends. Plan the session for your second or third day rather than the evening you arrive; travel tiredness shows in faces.
