Specialist in wedding photography in Santiago de Compostela. With nearly 30 years' experience, I capture natural, emotive moments, blending intimate reportage and aerial drone shots.
I am Javier Albor and I have spent decades photographing weddings in Santiago de Compostela. My approach is based on a natural, carefully considered wedding reportage: I look for authentic emotions, meaningful glances, gestures and those fleeting instants that turn a day into irreplaceable memories. My experience allows me to remain unobtrusive when required and to act decisively at crucial moments to produce wedding photographs that truly move you. My style avoids forced poses and favors narrative: every wedding is a distinct story and my goal is to tell it with clean, luminous images full of purpose. I work with a documentary sensitivity to capture spontaneity, while also paying attention to portrait work when it’s time to immortalize the couple or family in more intimate, elegant portraits. The result is a varied set of photographs that combine reportage, portrait photography and emotional detail. From the first contact I offer a close, personalized service. We talk about your plans, tastes and priorities; I plan the coverage so you can stay relaxed and fully live the day. On the wedding day my presence is professional and discreet: I accompany you, give only the direction that’s necessary and concentrate on recording the small scenes that will later help you relive the celebration. The whole process is designed so you feel comfortable and confident, without interfering with the event’s natural flow. Beyond ground-level photography, I use technical resources such as drone aerials to add perspectives that are different and memorable for your wedding report. That combination — an intimate eye on the ground and aerial compositions from above — makes it possible to create an album with variety, personality and a cinematic sense of place. Why choose my work? Because I bring both craft and sensitivity: almost 30 years learning to see, anticipate moments and resolve challenges in all kinds of venues across Galicia. Because it matters to me that your photos convey what you lived. If you are looking for a wedding photographer in Santiago de Compostela who combines experience, discretion and a natural style, I would be delighted to meet you and design together the reportage for your day.
