Getting married in Spain as an American
Planned from your time zone, filmed in Spain.
Wedding films for American couples marrying in Spain. Video calls at an hour that works for you, an answer within 24 hours and one wedding per date.
When your guests cross an ocean, a wedding becomes a weekend: a welcome dinner, the big day, a slow morning after. The wedding day is the one I film from start to finish.
Spain is several hours ahead of you, so I set our video calls around your workday rather than mine and answer every message within 24 hours. The legal side is usually taken care of in the US, with a symbolic ceremony here. And a celebration of the same level often costs less in Spain than it would at home.

From a Seville wedding
Belén & Álvaro
“We cannot describe in words how we felt when we saw the video. It is pure emotion, as if we were reliving every moment over and over again. Everything is done with exquisite taste and a sensitivity that touched our hearts.”

Questions
Getting married in Spain as an American: what couples ask
Can Americans get legally married in Spain?
Spain asks for at least one partner to be resident before a civil wedding, so the usual route for American couples is to make it legal in the US and hold a symbolic ceremony in Spain. The details are in /en/blog-en/getting-married-in-spain-as-a-foreigner/ and /en/blog-en/symbolic-wedding-ceremony-in-spain/.
How do we plan with you from another time zone?
By email, WhatsApp and video call. I reply within 24 hours, and we set calls for a time that fits your day, even when that means an evening call on my side.
Is a wedding in Spain really less expensive than one at home?
A comparable celebration in Spain often costs less than a luxury wedding in the US. Every wedding is different, so /en/blog-en/how-much-wedding-spain-cost/ breaks down what goes into a budget here.
What does your work cost, and in which currency?
My collections begin from €2,500, quoted in euros only, and you’ll have the exact figure within 24 hours of writing to me.
Can you film more than the wedding day itself?
The collections cover the full wedding day. Gold adds an hour-long session before the wedding and another after it, so the days around the celebration have their place too.
Will you work with our planner?
Yes. Before the day I speak with your planner and your photographer, so the timeline and where each of us stands are settled before anyone lands in Spain.
How far ahead should we book, and when do we get the film?
Book 6 to 12 months ahead, earlier for a Saturday from May to October. The film arrives 2 to 4 months after the wedding, with a 2–3 minute trailer that is easy to send to family back home.
