Light and timing for the photos
Stone
Stone façades reward the low side light of early morning or late afternoon. At midday it is best to look for the shade of an arch, a porch or the gallery.
Interiors
Living rooms and staircases tend to have small windows. There I work with the light that comes in and without direct flash, so the stone and the wood keep their colour.
The garden
Couple portraits work best in the last hour before sunset. It is worth leaving twenty minutes free in the schedule for that moment.
Sunset time changes with the place and the date. I will give you the exact time once we have the day, and I take the couple portraits about twenty minutes before.
The engagement session, nearby
The historic gardens of Aranjuez and the banks of the Tagus are an engagement session backdrop that few places have.
The engagement session can be done near the venue or in Asturias. I quote it together with the travel.

My work in Madrid
Real work in the area. They are not weddings, but I know the light and the places.
