A couple walk through the arcade of the Plaza de España in Seville

Documentary and editorial wedding photography.

Two words, and where they meet.

Documentary

A documentary photographer does not intervene. Nothing is repeated and nobody is moved. What happens is photographed as it happens. The result is a wedding you recognise: yours, not a catalogue version of it.

Editorial

Editorial photography comes from magazines. It cares for composition, light and framing the way a printed page does. By tradition it directs: it places, repeats, corrects.

Where they meet

The two are not opposites. You can look with the rigour of a magazine and still touch nothing. It is a matter of choosing where to stand, waiting for the light and letting the moment arrive by itself.

How we work

We follow the day as documentary photographers: early, quiet, without directing. And we compose it with an editorial eye. Besides weddings, Darío photographs editorial commissions with the same camera.

What it asks of you

Nothing. You do not need to know how to pose. Portraits of the two of you are made walking, in the last light, unposed.

See it

The difference is easier to see than to explain. The wedding stories are told this way.
