A little time together in Madrid

This Spanish couple came from Toledo to Madrid for a photoshoot together. We headed into El Retiro and spent the session walking through the park, stopping at different corners along the way. Their Madrid couple photoshoot became a lovely mix of shared time, garden colours and portraits that felt relaxed from one setting to the next.

Flowers and the shapes of the Parterre

The Parterre Garden gave us so many different backgrounds within the same setting. Pink and white flowers edged the paths, with clipped hedges and open lawns beyond them. Her olive-coloured dress looked beautiful among those greens, while his white T-shirt kept their outfits simple together. We photographed them with the flower beds around them and made wider pictures that kept the shape of the garden in view.

Garden colours framed their time together.

A walk with a few places to pause

We carried on through the park and made photographs around a wooden bench beneath the sculpted trees. The rounded greenery brought a different feel from the flower beds, and there was room for both seated portraits and a little movement along the paths. Those changes of setting gave the gallery variety while keeping the shoot an easygoing walk together.

Terrace views and a fountain corner

Along the terrace, the decorative railings and garden views added another side of El Retiro. We also stopped beside a carved fountain set into a warm red brick wall, a lovely contrast with the greenery elsewhere in the photographs.

Their gallery brings those places together with their shared smiles: a little Madrid memory from a trip over from Toledo, and photographs of the two of them enjoying the park.
