Specialist in wedding reportage in Santander and Cantabria. Mario Setién creates natural, emotive wedding photography that tells your story with documentary sensitivity and beautiful light. Video and drone options.
Hello, I’m Mario Setién, a wedding photographer based in Santander and throughout Cantabria. My work focuses on offering wedding photography that goes far beyond a succession of images: I aim to capture feelings, light and authentic moments so that when you look at the photos you again feel what happened on that day. My approach is primarily documentary and natural. I like to remain unobtrusive when the moment calls for it and to gently direct when necessary: this way I achieve photos that don’t feel like forced poses but genuine memories. I bring experience in handling light — especially that magical light of Cantabrian sunsets — and in finding photogenic corners that add to your story without stealing the spotlight. Why choose me for your wedding coverage? Because I work with sensitivity and craft. I have photographed weddings in venues as varied as beaches, country estates and unique event spaces across Cantabria, and I know how to anticipate the instants that later become favourite images. I also guide couples who feel nervous in front of the camera: advice on wardrobe, simple poses and relaxation techniques to obtain natural, valuable photographs. My method is friendly and transparent: we discuss your ideas, plan the key moments and on the wedding day I adapt to your pace so you can enjoy yourselves without worrying about the photos. Afterwards I carry out a careful selection and edit so each image respects the atmosphere and emotion of the moment, delivering a wedding photography gallery that tells a coherent story. Additionally, I can coordinate video production and include aerial drone shots for those who want a broader audiovisual narrative. These options enrich the wedding story while always observing the aesthetic coherence and legal requirements for drone operations in Cantabria. If you are looking for a wedding photographer in Santander who prioritises the human side, naturalness and technical quality, tell me your idea: I love turning your day into images that move and endure.
