You spent months (or even years) planning your wedding day. Every detail mattered. The venue, the flowers, the dress, the speeches, the photographs.

Then suddenly… it’s over.

A few days later you’re wandering through the colourful streets of Alicante, sitting outside with a coffee overlooking the marina, watching the sunset over the Mediterranean, and you realise something.

This is the first time you’ve actually been able to breathe. Ironically, it’s often during your honeymoon that you feel most like yourselves. That’s exactly why so many couples are now booking an Alicante honeymoon photographer for a relaxed post-wedding portrait session.

Your wedding photos tell one story. Your honeymoon tells another.

Your wedding photographs capture one incredible day.

Your honeymoon photographs capture the beginning of your marriage.

There’s no timeline to follow.
No guests waiting.
No speeches.
No schedules.
No pressure.

Instead, you get to simply enjoy being together.

The laughter walking through Alicante’s Old Town. Sharing tapas in a quiet square. Watching the waves roll into Playa del Postiguet. Holding hands as the sun disappears behind Santa Bárbara Castle. These are the moments that become your favourite memories.

Why Alicante is perfect for honeymoon photography

If you’ve chosen Alicante for your honeymoon, you’ve already done one thing right. With over 300 days of sunshine every year, it’s one of the most romantic destinations in Spain. Within a short distance, you have completely different backdrops for your photographs.

El Barrio (Old Town)

Cobbled streets, colourful buildings, hidden doorways and beautiful Mediterranean architecture.

Perfect if you love a European city feel.

---

Santa Bárbara Castle & Parque de la Ereta

Perhaps Alicante’s most iconic viewpoint.

Golden evening light overlooking the city, harbour and coastline creates an unforgettable backdrop.

---

Cabo de las Huertas

If you’re dreaming of something more intimate, this rocky coastline feels wonderfully untouched.

Think dramatic cliffs, turquoise water and sunsets that look almost unreal.

Perfect for couples wanting natural, editorial-style photographs.

---

Playa de San Juan

Wide sandy beaches, soft evening light and space to simply walk together.

Ideal if you imagine your honeymoon looking relaxed and carefree.

Wear your wedding outfits again… or don’t.

One of the questions I’m asked most is:

“Should we wear our wedding clothes?”

The answer is… Only if you want to.

Some couples bring their wedding dress and suit for a completely different feel than on the wedding day. Others choose relaxed linen outfits that reflect how they’re actually spending their honeymoon. Both work beautifully.

There’s something incredibly special about seeing a wedding dress against the Mediterranean coastline instead of inside a wedding venue. And, equally, there’s something authentic about documenting you exactly as you are while you’re on holiday together.

A honeymoon photoshoot feels more like a date than a photoshoot

Most couples tell me the same thing afterwards.

“That didn’t feel awkward at all.”

That’s because I don’t believe in endless posing. Instead, we’ll wander. Stop for coffee. Share a drink. Walk through quiet streets. Watch the sunset, or sunrise (depending on your style).

I’ll simply guide you into great light and let the moments unfold naturally. The result is a gallery that feels genuine rather than staged.

The best time for honeymoon photography in Alicante

The Mediterranean light changes dramatically throughout the day. For the most flattering photographs, I always recommend:

• Sunrise if you’d like quiet streets and empty beaches.
• Golden hour before sunset for warm, soft light.
• Blue hour after sunset for romantic city lights and pastel skies.

During the summer months, avoiding the middle of the day makes a huge difference to the final images.

Why book a professional honeymoon photographer instead of relying on your phone?

Modern phones take incredible pictures. But honeymoon photography isn’t just about image quality. It’s about being in the photographs together.

No balancing phones on walls. No selfie sticks. No asking strangers. No taking fifty photos hoping one works.

Instead, you get to simply enjoy your honeymoon while someone quietly documents it.

Years from now, those photographs will become part of your family’s story.

Ideal for destination weddings in Spain

Many couples choose Alicante as their destination after a wedding elsewhere in Spain.

Perhaps you married in:

• Barcelona
• Mallorca
• Ibiza
• Madrid
• Marbella

Alicante is the perfect place to slow down before heading home. A honeymoon session lets you celebrate your marriage without the timeline of a wedding day.

Frequently Asked Questions
