Marriage and a new city to call home

Married in March and recently settled in Madrid, these Colombian newlyweds had plenty to remember about this chapter. They had lived in Spain for almost four years, including three in Seville, before moving to Madrid for work. As their first half-year of marriage approached, they wanted a couple photoshoot in Madrid that captured this new life and gave them photographs to send to family and friends in Colombia.

Sunrise among El Retiro’s trees

We met at sunrise in El Retiro on an August morning. The long avenues of trees made a beautiful setting for photographs together, with their cream outfits sitting softly against the greenery. We gave the park room in the wider pictures, then made closer portraits where the setting became a gentle backdrop to the couple.

Columns, stone steps and the lake

Around the Alfonso XII monument, the curved colonnade, sculpted entrances and pale stone steps gave the gallery a more classical feel. We mixed photographs beneath the columns with portraits by the lake, where the water and balustrade opened up the view. Their light clothes worked beautifully across those settings, tying the different parts of the shoot together.

Something personal to send home

There was room for quieter portraits as well as a little fun together beside the water. The Parterre Garden and its red brick fountain brought another set of colours into the photographs before the shoot was complete.

For these two, the pictures held more than a visit to El Retiro. They recorded their first months as newlyweds in Madrid, and a little of the life they wanted to share with the people waiting for news back in Colombia.
