The Güens — Patricia & Mario — are Calahorra wedding photographers focusing on documentary, natural and unposed reportage. They capture real emotions and include a pre-wedding shoot & online gallery.
We are The Güens: Patri and Mario, a pair of wedding photographers based between Calahorra (La Rioja) and Cantabria. We define ourselves by a clear, committed approach: we specialize in wedding photography and work from a close, personal perspective to tell your day as it really is — without forced poses and with a cinematic sensitivity. Why choose us for your wedding reportage in Calahorra and nearby areas? Because we prioritize connecting with people over the cameras. Our philosophy starts with building trust with couples: the complimentary engagement sessions we offer are not a decorative extra, but the first step to feeling comfortable in front of us and to understanding how you want to experience your day. That trust translates into natural, intimate images full of meaning. Our style is documentary, elegant and detail-oriented. We like to let emotions flow and capture them discreetly; this way you get photos that transcend trends and last over time. We also pay careful attention to editing: we always include a black-and-white selection — usually around 20% of the reportage — and, when couples love that finish, we can expand the black-and-white edit. We deliver the images via an online gallery (Pic-Time) so you can easily share your photos with family and friends. We work as a tandem: we always attend with two photographers to cover different viewpoints and ensure no detail of the day is missed. Our experience covering weddings across La Rioja, Cantabria, Navarre and the Basque Country allows us to adapt to all kinds of ceremonies and the unique dynamics of each couple and venue. We are driven by a passion for travel, discovering unique locations and creating authentic visual stories. Patri brings a Fine Arts background and an artistic sensibility; Mario contributes organization, curiosity about cultures and approachable communication (also in English). Together we aim for your wedding reportage to be a faithful, elegant and emotional keepsake. If you are planning your wedding in Calahorra or anywhere in Spain and want a documentary, natural reportage made from a place of closeness, write to us — we would love to meet you and tell your story.
