The vintage wedding car driving away along a dirt road in the countryside of Jerez

Andalusia · South of Spain

Wedding photographer in Andalusia.

Cortijos, fincas, old houses, the sea. Nothing staged.

Where we work

We live here. We know how the day unfolds.

PURAFOTO is the studio of Darío Ortega, a documentary wedding photographer in the south of Spain. Most of the weddings we photograph each year are in Andalusia: in Granada, on the coast of Almería, in Cádiz and Jerez, in Córdoba and in Málaga.

We work the way documentary photographers do. We arrive early, keep quiet and follow the day as it happens. Nothing is directed and nothing is repeated for the camera.

Photography on Leica M, digital and film. A film of the day when you want one, made by the same small team. We accept fifteen to twenty weddings a year.

I

The light

Andalusian light is hard at noon and gold for an hour before dark. We plan the day around it, not against it.

II

The rhythm

Late ceremonies, long dinners, a party that ends near dawn. We stay until the last of the light, and often after.

III

The places

Churches, cortijos, haciendas, gardens, beaches. Each province photographs differently. We know them by road.
