Wedding at Villa Luisa, Seville
Wedding at Villa Luisa, Seville
Raquel & Neil · A spring wedding in Seville
Raquel and Neil
Raquel and Neil travelled from the United States to get married in Seville. They chose Villa Luisa for their spring wedding, and many of their guests made the most of the trip to see the city.
Raquel got ready at the Hotel Alfonso XIII, where I’d photographed their pre-wedding shoot the day before. Neil got dressed at Villa Luisa with his friends.
A garden wedding at Villa Luisa
The garden is one of my favourite parts of Villa Luisa: palm trees, bougainvillea and orange trees in the middle of Seville. Raquel and Neil held both the ceremony and dinner there, outdoors.
Colorín planned the wedding while the couple organised everything from the US. Flowers by Enea brought colour to the staircase and the tables. My favourite corner was the fountain covered in petals.
Dinner by Alda & Terry was served in the garden, under the palm trees. Afterwards, the celebration moved indoors for the party.
How I photographed their wedding at Villa Luisa
I photographed the wedding on digital and partly on film. From getting ready at the Hotel Alfonso XIII and Villa Luisa through to the party, I paid attention to the people and what was happening between them.
I also noticed how each space looked and felt: the flowers on the staircase, the fountain, the tables in the garden and the change of mood when everyone moved inside to dance.
For Raquel and Neil’s portraits, I used corners of the house and garden. The architecture, the plants and the light are part of their photographs, just like the people who travelled to Seville to be with them.
