Dream of a Spanish wedding …


Three Spanish wedding destinations that’ll make for a stunning wedding video

Imagine walking down the aisle, a warm scented breeze in the air, your friends and family sitting against a stunning natural backdrop, before dancing the night away under the stars. If that sounds appealing to you, then Spain could be the perfect fit for your upcoming nuptials.

 

Whether you’re already based in this beautiful country or want to jet off to Spain for a destination wedding, you’ll be spoilt for choice when it comes to your ceremony location. From bustling towns that give you access to prime eating spots for your reception, to secluded beaches for a low-key, intimate ceremony, there’s something for everyone. In this post, we list three of our favourite locations to spark your imagination and kick off your planning.

Marbella

One of the most popular holiday destinations in Spain, Marbella is the perfect choice for couples looking to combine their wedding celebrations with a longer holiday with their guests, or perhaps their honeymoon. If you’re going to have a large guest list, it’s well worth choosing an established destination like this – not only will everyone be able to find accommodation, but you’ll also have a larger range of vendors to choose from

The combination of beaches, mountains and traditional white houses will make for an amazing backdrop for your wedding video and photos, truly capturing the essence of Spain. If you’re inviting just a handful of guests, you could even consider hiring a villa for everyone to stay at, allowing your videographer in Marbella to capture the lead up to the ceremony as well as the main event.

Ibiza

Whilst Ibiza has historically had a reputation for being a party capital, it’s actually a tranquil, romantic place if you know where to look. If you want a boho, relaxed destination wedding, then it’s a great choice. The international vibe of the island means that there are plenty of multilingual celebrants available, and you can create a truly personalised celebration.

The lush natural beauty of the island is a photographer’s dream. Consider getting married outside of peak summer holiday months, where you’ll be able to enjoy an element of seclusion and reduce the chance of getting members of the public in your wedding videos. 

Mallorca

If you want to slow down and savour your wedding celebrations at your own pace, then look no further than Mallorca. The island encourages a simpler way of life, so you can put your love and commitment front and centre – it’s less about fancy decorations and more about spending precious quality time with your friends and family.

The rugged mountain ranges, azure water and large beach bays mean that you can get some truly amazing wedding photos and videos. It’s also home to some amazing vineyards, which can make excellent wedding venues. Talk to your videographer and be prepared to go off-road – the contrast of your white wedding dress against the green of the hills is not something you’ll want to miss.

When You Smile …


It was a joy to witness Simon & Taj get married at their El cortijo de los caballos wedding in Spain under the trees and have an unforgettable experience on their special day. Being their wedding videographer in Spain was such a pleasure.

The secret ceremonial garden was tucked away at the far end of the venue and was the perfect setting for this wedding ceremony. After the ceremony guests headed to the lagoon style swimming pool area for drinks & canopies.

The evening dance & party area was located in the main terrace with shelter, and a morrocan style chill out area outdoors to lay out after one too many drinks! Decorated with fairy lights, candles and Moroccan lanterns, this area provided a great backdrop for the evenings entertainment.

El Cortijo de los Caballos is a 14 bed private Villa near Marbella, available for weddings and other special occasions. The venue is managed by the brilliant Rachel Rose Weddings. This stunning villa is one of the last true Cortijos left in the surrounding area, it has easy access from a close by main road and is close to Estepona, Marbella, Benhavis and other quaint Spanish villages, and of course the beautiful beaches of the Costa Del Sol.

The eclectic mix of Spanish and Moroccan décor sleeps 28 guests plus extra beds, but there are plenty of options in the surrounding areas for larger wedding parties.

It was a pleasure to work alongside Kino Ortega on the day, who is an amazing photographer based in Malaga. Kino also has a great blog about the day and the venue which you can read here.
