Wedding photographer in Málaga

A Málaga wedding often happens in two places that are not close to each other. The ceremony is in the city, in a church in the old town or as a civil ceremony in the La Concepción botanical garden, and the banquet is somewhere with space, a finca in the hills or a venue on the coast. Between them sits the hour that decides the couple portraits. The old town is mostly pedestrian, so the wedding car stops at the edge and the last few metres are on foot, which is worth planning for a long dress. The port and the Paseo del Parque, a few minutes from the cathedral, give open light and shade within one short walk. Then the convoy leaves for the banquet, and the photographer travels with it, not after it.

When to book in Málaga

May, June, late September and October are the comfortable months, with warm evenings and no extreme heat. A summer wedding works if the timetable bends to it: a ceremony at seven, cocktails at sunset, which is after half past nine in late June, and dinner after dark. A ceremony at one in July means guests standing in humid heat at the church door and a couple session in the hardest light of the day. In winter, with sunset around six, the portraits should come before the banquet, not after. Two weeks are best avoided in the centre: Holy Week, with processions every evening, and the Feria in mid-August, when the old town is a street party and traffic is restricted.
