There was a catholic ceremony in the stunning church, a gown designed by the bride’s maid of honor, there was a little rain, a little sun, lots of beer in a traditional town “fonda” and a delicious dinner followed by some dancing in a nearby farm. But mostly: there was LOVE.

These pictures were shot for the practical module of my newly launched online couple portrait workshop where I share all that I have learned in the last 13 years as a wedding photography: posing, lighting, and building rapport are all included, so if you’re a Spanish speaking photographer and feel inspired by these images and want to learn, please click here for more information.

The minute the bride said that they were getting married in a cave on the ocean front Mateo knew that this wedding was going to be special, and he wasn’t disappointed: the beach, barefoot guests, a heartfelt ceremony in a unique location and the love filled party that ensued were the perfect ingredients for a fantastic wedding soiree in the island of Tierra Bomba just outside of Cartagena in Colombia.

]]> P & Álvaro https://www.valeriaduque.net/en/p-y-alvaro/ Tue, 31 Mar 2020 22:03:51 +0000 https://www.valeriaduque.net/?p=1105 Álvaro from Spain, and Penélope from Colombia decided to get married in Cartagena and  when we met it was instant chemistry. Álvaro made it  clear that he didn’t want to pose, he just wanted FUN pictures and we were up for it because:  who doesn’t like to have  fun?

They both chose beautiful places in the old town of Cartagena to get ready, Álvaro with his family doing all the Spanish traditions and P with hers as well.

The looks they exchanged during the ceremony, the tears shed by their guests, and the beautiful church made this wedding a delicious eye candy for us to shoot.

Once they were done with the ceremony, it was time to dance through the streets of Cartagena, they just couldn’t get enough of twirling, smiling, hugging and just having FUN. When we stole them away for their couple pictures they kept  on dancing and, as promised, enjoying themselves like crazy! we didn’t even had to direct anything, they just had a fantastic way of loving each other and we just shot that. With every click they showed more of what true connection, complicity and sinergy mean.

They literally had fun every second of their wedding, just the two of them, or with their guests, you could see (and can see in the pictures) that they were squeezing all the wedding goodness out of the day, and we  fell in love with that, and with them.

We loved these pictures because of how authentic they are, because they are, as we said, daily life in its best version.

Right in the middle of the couple pictures the sun came out and not even the mud in the hem of the gown, nor the cold were able to overshadow the happiness these 2 felt.
The pictures were taken by Vale with a guest second shooter: the fantastic Nico Fernández from efeunodos

Weddings like Lili and Ed’s are an absolute treat that make us fall in love with our job all over again. Not only are they exceedingly good humans, but also, we had a very cool connection with them based on a beautiful energetic understanding and an absolute agreement on our musical tastes.

So we wanted to share all the good things that we shot at this wedding: the couple and their families, the way they love each other, the moments (form a doggo coming to say hello in the middle of the church ceremony, the moving vows and their first dance to Frank Sinatra performed by the fantastic Medellín Big Band), the amazing team we worked with, everything, We just feel grateful and happy to have been a part of it.

Thank you, Lili and Ed, for having us there sharing in all the merriment, we love you guys!

A couple of weeks ago we traveled to beautiful Cartagena to cover Paula and Kevin’s wedding. This two decided to take their wedding party along for their couple session in the historic district. The result is short of amazing! It was a day filled with laughter, love, great friends, emotional moments and speeches and mostly: lots of celebrating!
