Honeymoon photographer in Marbella

On a honeymoon the only appointment is the one you choose, and that changes what a session in Marbella can be. The wedding day rarely leaves twenty quiet minutes for the two of you; here there is a whole morning or evening. Sunrise suits couples who are awake anyway: the beaches west of the centre are wide and empty at seven, and the light is soft. Last light suits everyone else, and on this stretch of coast the best of it is at Artola, where the beach faces south-west and the sun sets into the sea with the dunes and an old watchtower behind. A honeymoon photographer can also go further for you. Ronda is about an hour inland, a town split by a gorge with an eighteenth-century bridge across it, and at sunrise or before sunset it is a different place from the midday crowds.

When to book in Marbella

Sunrise in summer is around seven, and the beach at that hour belongs to joggers and dogs. Sunset in June is near twenty to ten, which suits a late dinner after the photographs. September and October are the honeymoon months that work best here: the sea is warm, the crowds have gone home and the light is lower and kinder. A honeymoon photographer will push you away from midday in July and August for a simple reason, which is that nobody looks relaxed at thirty-something degrees on a white wall. In winter, a session in the afternoon sun is pleasant and the beaches are almost private.
