Jewish Wedding Photographer Spain

Jewish wedding photographer Spain couples come back to for one reason: we know the rhythm of a Jewish ceremony before we ever arrive. Sebastian Nandryka and the Super Weddings team have photographed and filmed Jewish weddings across Spain, a garden chuppah in Marbella, a castle hora outside Barcelona, a citrus-courtyard ceremony in Mallorca. We know the moment the glass breaks, and the hora that runs until everyone is out of breath, and we know how to be exactly where we need to be for each one without getting in the way.

Jewish Wedding Photographer Spain: Why Couples Book Us

A Jewish wedding has a shape that a generic wedding photographer often misses on the first try. Many couples open with the ketubah signing in a private room before guests arrive, sometimes followed by a bedeken, where the groom veils the bride himself. The processional often has both mothers walking the bride and both fathers walking the groom, not just one parent on each side, which changes how we frame the aisle. Under the chuppah comes the circling, the Sheva Brachot (the seven blessings recited over wine), the ring exchange and the breaking of the glass.

Right after the ceremony many couples take a few minutes of yichud, private time alone together, which is easy for a photographer to miss entirely if nobody has briefed them on it in advance. Then comes the hora at the reception, a joyful circle dance where the couple gets lifted on chairs and nobody is standing still. Knowing this full sequence in advance, not just the version most people have seen in films, changes where we stand, when we move in close and when we step back and protect a private moment instead of photographing it. For background on these traditions, My Jewish Learning has a clear overview, and Smashing the Glass is a dedicated resource for more Jewish wedding inspiration and vendors. We have shot this exact sequence at three very different Spanish venues, so by the time we arrive at yours, we already know what to expect and where the best light and angles usually are.

Our team has been recognised with a Way Up North Award for Best Wedding Videographer, multiple Weeva Awards for cinematic storytelling, and a Best Short Film win at the Los Angeles Film Festival. Our work has appeared in Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar, and we have been shortlisted for the WeddingSutra Photography Awards. Over the past decade we have documented more than 400 weddings across Spain, Europe and internationally, including Jewish and multicultural celebrations.

How We Plan Your Jewish Wedding Timeline

Every Jewish wedding packs more into the ceremony than a typical civil or church wedding, so the photography schedule has to be planned around it rather than bolted on afterward. Before the day, we talk through whether you want a first look or to see each other for the first time at the chuppah, when family formals happen, and how to build in a few protected minutes for yichud right after the ceremony so it is not lost to the receiving line. We also confirm photography rules directly with your rabbi or officiant in advance, since some ceremonies ask for no flash or limited movement during specific blessings, so there are no surprises on the day. The hora itself rarely runs on a fixed clock, so we build flexible time around it rather than rushing the reception to a strict schedule.

Real Jewish Weddings We’ve Shot in Spain

Rather than show you a portfolio out of context, here are three real Jewish weddings we have photographed and filmed at very different venues across Spain.

Photography and Videography Services

We offer photography, videography, or both together under one creative direction, which matters for a Jewish wedding more than most. Between the processional, the circling, the ketubah signing, the glass-breaking and the hora, there is a lot happening in a short window, and a single coordinated team means nothing gets missed while two separate crews compete for the same space.

Pricing depends on hours of coverage, number of days, and whether you want photography, videography or both. Get in touch with your date and venue and we will put together a tailored quote.

Where We Shoot Jewish Weddings in Spain

Barcelona & Catalonia: home to Spain’s largest Jewish community and estates like Castell de Sant Marçal that comfortably hold the large, multi-generational guest lists common at Jewish weddings. See our Barcelona wedding photography and Barcelona wedding videography portfolios. Costa del Sol (Marbella): an international, often UK and Gibraltar-connected Jewish community, with resorts built for black-tie, large-scale celebrations. Mallorca: rustic fincas with stone courtyards and citrus trees for a more relaxed, laid-back version of the same celebration, see our Mallorca wedding videography page. Ibiza: a sunset chuppah on a finca terrace, for couples who want their Jewish wedding to lean into the island’s nightlife energy. Canary Islands: year-round warm weather and resort venues used to large international weddings.

Planning the wedding itself, not just the photography? Our complete Jewish Wedding in Spain planning guide covers legal requirements, kosher catering, rabbis and Shabbat timing in detail, and we put the document checklist and vendor list from that guide into a free, editable Jewish wedding checklist you can copy and track as you go.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a Jewish wedding photographer in Spain cost?

It depends on hours of coverage, number of days, and whether you book photography, videography or both together. We approach every Jewish wedding individually, since a one-day celebration and a multi-day one need very different coverage. Get in touch with your date and venue for a tailored quote.

Do you photograph and film Jewish weddings outside Barcelona?

Yes. We are based in Barcelona but travel across Spain for Jewish weddings, including Marbella, Mallorca, Ibiza and the Canary Islands, as shown in the real weddings above.

Can you cover both photography and videography for our Jewish wedding?

Yes, and for Jewish weddings this is our most recommended option. One team under one creative direction means no two crews competing for the same space during the chuppah or the hora, and a consistent visual style across every photo and frame.

Do you have experience with Jewish wedding traditions?

Yes. We know the shape of a Jewish wedding ceremony, the processional, the circling, the blessings, the ring exchange and the breaking of the glass, and the hora that follows at the reception, from having shot it at three different venues across Spain. We plan our coverage around that sequence rather than treating it like a generic wedding timeline.

How far in advance should we book?

We recommend booking as soon as your venue and date are confirmed, ideally twelve months out for peak season (May through October), since dates fill up quickly, especially around popular venues and Jewish holiday calendars.

Do you cover multi-day Jewish wedding celebrations?

Yes. Many of our Jewish couples bring family and friends in for a full weekend rather than a single day: a welcome dinner, the ceremony and reception, and a farewell brunch. We build coverage packages around the whole weekend rather than treating it as one isolated event.

Will you coordinate with our rabbi on photography rules during the ceremony?

Yes. We always confirm photography and movement rules directly with the officiating rabbi before the day, since some ceremonies restrict flash or ask photographers to stay further back during specific blessings. Getting this settled in advance means there are no awkward surprises during the chuppah itself.
