A specialist in wedding photography in Zamora, Manuel Balles creates photojournalistic reports that capture authentic emotions. Natural, heartfelt images to relive your day.
Manuel Balles is, above all, a wedding photographer passionate about capturing emotions. From Zamora he specialises in photojournalistic wedding reports: a documentary approach that avoids forced poses and aims to tell your story exactly as it unfolds. His goal is for each couple to receive an album that moves them again in ten, twenty or forty years. His training and experience in photojournalism shape the way he works. He balances wedding photography with editorial projects and collaborations in international media — with credits in publications such as The Wall Street Journal, The Guardian and HuffPost — which enrich his ability to narrate through images and anticipate those fleeting moments. That discipline allows him to be discreet, precise and attentive to the details that make a reportage meaningful and emotionally resonant. Manuel’s proposal focuses on naturalness: letting the couple’s energy and their guests flow, intervening only when necessary, and recording both the major milestones and the everyday gestures that often go unnoticed. His style prioritises light, composition and feeling to produce photographs that serve as a living memory of the day. How he works: before the wedding he seeks to connect with the couple, understand their priorities and the rhythm of the day; often he suggests meeting over a coffee to discuss the project calmly. During the event he moves discreetly, following the emotional thread of the day; afterwards he carries out a careful selection and editing process to deliver a coherent, heartfelt reportage. Although weddings are his speciality, Manuel also offers engagement and post-wedding sessions as complementary options and is available for destination weddings, bringing the same documentary sensitivity to each new location. His professional yet human approach turns the process into a relaxed, close experience for couples. If you are looking for a wedding photographer in Zamora who combines sensitivity, journalistic experience and an authentic style, Manuel offers a report designed to transform your day into images that endure. The priority: that the memory is as beautiful as possible and that, when you look at the photos, you feel again what you felt that day.
