FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
I started my wedding photography business in 2009
I take on a limited number of weddings each year so I can stay fully present, creatively inspired, and completely focused on telling each couple’s story in a natural, honest way.
I’m based on the Costa del Sol in southern Spain, mainly working in Marbella and Malaga, and I regularly photograph destination weddings across Andalusia and beyond.
Yes, most of my couples are from the UK and travel to Spain for their wedding. I specialise in destination weddings, so I’m very used to working remotely with couples planning from abroad.
My style is natural, relaxed, and documentary led. I focus on real moments as they happen, with gentle guidance when needed so couples feel comfortable and never overly posed.
Yes, I’ve worked across many venues in Marbella and Malaga and know the light, timings, and layouts very well, which helps the day flow smoothly and ensures we get the best possible photos.
In southern Spain, the best light is usually late afternoon into sunset. I always help couples plan their timeline so we can make the most of golden hour for soft, flattering natural light. Take a look at my blog: Why golden hour matters for your wedding photos and how to plan for it.
Yes, I help all my couples plan their photography timeline to make sure everything runs smoothly and there’s enough time for natural, unhurried photos without taking you away from your guests.
Absolutely. Most of my couples feel this way at first. I gently guide you throughout the day so nothing feels forced or unnatural, and most of the time you’ll simply be enjoying your day while I capture it quietly in the background. Take a look at my blog: A guide to look natural in your wedding photos, even if you are camera shy.
I keep everything very relaxed and unobtrusive. I give simple guidance when needed but never over-direct, so couples can just focus on each other and enjoy the moment.
Most of my couples plan from abroad, especially the UK. We’ll have Zoom calls before the wedding, I help with timeline planning, and everything is organised so the photography side feels simple and stress-free. For helpful tips check out my blog: Your Malaga wedding travel guide.
Yes, I photograph weddings across Spain and occasionally further afield, but most of my work is based in southern Spain where I know the light and venues extremely well.
Most couples book 12–18 months in advance, especially for peak season weddings in Malaga and Marbella.
Once you’ve enquired, we’ll have a Zoom call to make sure we’re the right fit. If you’d like to go ahead, I’ll send over a contract and booking details to secure your date. Contact me to see if I'm available for your chosen date.
Wedding photography in Marbella is very light-driven due to the climate. Knowing how to work with strong sunlight and golden hour timing is key to creating natural, flattering images.
Yes, Malaga is one of the most beautiful and relaxed wedding locations in southern Spain, offering luxury villas, marina settings, and stunning natural light for photography.
Yes, I regularly photograph smaller weddings and elopements, especially in Marbella and Malaga where couples often choose intimate celebrations.
May, June and September are the best months to get married in Malaga. It's not too hot and perfect for outdoor weddings
If your wedding is between May and September, I'd recommend your ceremony not be any earlier than 4pm. 5pm would be the ideal time due to the heat.
UK couples can only legally marry in Spain through the Catholic church. Your civil wedding here would be a symbolic wedding only and you would need to get legally married in your home country.
Temperatures can reach 35 to 40 degrees celcius which is why weddings are carried out in late afternoon. The evenings are long and warm creating the perfect ambiance for your outdoor wedding.
Yes! I work up and down the Costa del Sol photographing weddings from Nerja to Sotogrande and further.
There are so many beautiful venues here, you are spoiled for choice. but my favourite would be: Cortijo Bravo, Hacienda San Jose and Finca Monasterio. For more on wedding venues check out my blog: Malaga and Marbella wedding venues. The best places to get married on the coast.
A wedding planner is always going to make the whole proses a lot easier and less stressful. I would definitely recommend a wedding planner or at least an on the day coordinator. Contact me and I can recommend different wedding planners.

"We couldn't be happier with Isabel's incredible work as our wedding photographer. From start to finish, she had amazing attention to detail, making sure that every moment of our day was captured in a perfect way. She helped to coordinate photos with great timing and an eye for the most stunning shots.
In the lead-up to the wedding, Isabel was super organised and had excellent communication, we had several video calls to ensure our timings were spot on and our agenda was in line with the plan for the day. We highly recommend bringing Isabel on as a photographer for your wedding if you are considering it!."

"Issy has been amazing from start to finish! We were lucky enough to meet her ahead of our wedding and were so impressed with her professionalism and talent we had to have her! On the day of the wedding Issy was fun, helped us both relax, and fitted in seamlessly through the day, getting some truly spectacular shots.
Issy's magic shone through in our final wedding photos and we could not be happier. She has continued to impress us in creating an album for us to cherish and remember forever.
Thank you so much, Issy, we couldn't have dreamed for a more talented photographer."

"We had the pleasure of booking Izzy for our wedding in Mijas in September 23.
We met Izzy prior to the wedding, she listened to what we would like, in terms of our preferences and wishes, acknowledging our request for candid photographs. Izzy discussed the day in detail, and we immediately knew we had chosen the best photographer for our special day. On the wedding day Izzy made us feel at ease throughout and captured the most beautiful amazing pictures. We were extremely impressed with the quality of the pictures and the whole service provided by Izzy from start to finish.
We both would highly recommend Izzy to anyone who is thinking of booking her for your wedding!
Thank you!"

"Issy is a dream! We were nervous for our wedding photos because neither of us are very good at posing for the camera, but Issy made us feel at ease from our first meeting with her.
On the day she was so fun and we both relaxed. We now have some of the most gorgeous photos we’ve ever had together and many more candids of the whole wedding day. Looking through the photos, it feels like we are right back in Marbella. She really captured the energy and good vibes of the day!
We got our photos back so quickly too, another massive bonus that we weren’t expecting.
Thank you so much Issy for helping our memories of our day last forever xxx !"
