Honeymoon photographer in Málaga

On the wedding day there are twenty minutes for the two of you, if that. A honeymoon gives you the hour back, and Málaga is a common stage for it: an easy airport, a week on the coast, often part of a longer trip through Andalusia. A session here is nothing like the wedding portraits. You are rested, dressed as you are on holiday, and there is no one waiting for you at a table. The usual plan starts close to where you are staying, so nothing has to be organised beyond the time, and takes in one part of the city and one view: the old town and the port, or the climb to Gibralfaro. For couples who rent a car, Nerja’s Balcón de Europa, a terrace on a cliff above the sea, makes a day out of it.

When to book in Málaga

Many honeymoons on this coast fall in September and October, after summer weddings, and that suits the photographs: the sea is still warm, the haze of August has cleared from about the twentieth, and sunsets come between eight and seven. A winter honeymoon is even easier, with low sun all day and empty beaches. In July and August, plan for early morning or the last hour, after nine. Book the session early in the stay, not on the last evening, so there is room to move it if calima or a late night gets in the way. The gallery then arrives while you are still here.
