I heard you’re getting married in Spain!
Welcome to my wedding guide for your ultimate Spanish destination wedding photography experience!
Lené Fjästad Destination Weddings
There’s something so special about Spain—the golden light, the energy, the way every corner feels full of life. If you’ve chosen to get married here, I already know you’re planning something incredible. Spain isn’t just a backdrop—it’s a feeling. And it’s the most beautiful place to begin your next chapter together!
As someone who recently made Spain my home, I still feel a little awe every time I get to photograph a wedding here. Whether you’re envisioning a sun-soaked ceremony by the sea in Mallorca, a laid-back gathering at a finca in Ibiza, or a chic celebration in a Barcelona castle, I’m here to make sure your day is captured with all the love, joy, and beauty it deserves.
I am truly so honoured and excited that you reached out and are considering me as your photographer! To me, documenting a wedding is about more than just taking photos—it’s about the absolute privilege of capturing fleeting moments in time and the trust that my incredible couples place in me to do so. It’s about seeing the way you look at each other, catching the in-between moments no one else notices, and documenting your day with care so that you can relive it again and again.
If you're looking for someone who will be as excited about your wedding as you are—I’m your girl. I’d be so honored to be part of it.
Hola - I’m Lené
Your European-based destination photographer—and your biggest supporter in creating a wedding experience as extraordinary as your love story.
Few days in life hold as much love, joy, and meaning as your wedding day…
You want to be present. You want to feel everything — the nerves, the laughter, the deep joy of having your favorite people all in one place. You want to soak it in, not spend the day worrying about the schedule, the lighting, or how you look in front of the camera. And most of all, you want your photos to feel like you — real, beautiful, and full of emotion.
That’s where I come in!
I’m here to create a stunning mix of candid and editorial style images that reflect the real magic of your day — not just how it looked, but how it felt. The quiet glances, the spontaneous tears, the wild dance floor moments, and everything in between. I believe that the best photos happen when you can let go and trust your photographer to guide you through it all with calmness, care, and intention.
I’ll be there when you need gentle direction, and I’ll step back when the moment calls for stillness. My goal is for the photography to blend so seamlessly into the rhythm of your day that you hardly even notice it happening — until you get your gallery and feel like you’re reliving every moment all over again.
A little bit about me — A few years ago I left behind a career in law to pursue a life that lights me up. With my darling husband and my two dogs in tow, I moved from South Africa to Spain to follow my love of storytelling, nature, and human connection. I’m deeply inspired by the outdoors, and I find beauty in the small, fleeting moments just as much as the grand ones. I love hiking, kayaking, reading, and discovering places that make me feel something — the same way I want your wedding photos to make you feel something every time you look at them.
If you’re dreaming of a wedding that’s heartfelt, joy-filled, and truly yours — I’d be honored to document it.
What makes working with me different?
-
4+ years of capturing love stories full time
As a full-time wedding photographer, I pour my heart and soul into every wedding I document. You can fully relax knowing I’ve got you covered! From unpredictable lighting situations to tight timelines and remote destinations, I’ve seen it all — and I’ll handle it with calm and care. My job is to make sure the photography flows seamlessly, so you can be present, feel everything, and trust that every meaningful moment is being captured beautifully.
-
100+ weddings and elopements documented
No two weddings are ever alike — and that’s what I love most. With over 100 celebrations behind the lens, I’ve learnt how to effortlessly anticipate the unscripted moments — the glances, the happy tears, the unexpected joy. I approach every celebration with fresh eyes and a calm presence, so your story feels personal, not posed, while still incorporating those swoon worthy editorial shots.
-
12+ countries travelled to
I’ve had the incredible privilege of photographing weddings in places like Tuscany, Ibiza and Sitges, and even as far as Cape Town and Zimbabwe — and traveling frequently for weddings has made me highly adaptable — comfortable with shifting light, changing weather, and the unexpected nature of real celebrations. I know that hiring a destination photographer can feel like a big decision, especially when there’s travel involved, but I want you to know you’re in good hands! I’ll show up exactly where I need to be, on time, fully prepared, and genuinely excited to capture your day as it unfolds — with heart, creativity, and and the kind of care I’d want for my own memories.

Thank you Lené for documenting our love and creating moments that feel like us.”

Why do our packages start at 8 hours?
To truly capture the full story of your wedding day — from the quiet, meaningful moments to the joyful celebrations — a minimum of 8 hours is ideal. For larger weddings or multi-location events, 10 hours is often the perfect fit. This allows for a beautifully relaxed experience, giving you the space to be present, connect with your loved ones, and soak in every moment. With ample time, we’re able to create a photography flow that feels natural and effortless — allowing for those genuine, unhurried images that reflect the true energy and emotion of your day
What will our photography timeline look like?
Whatever your vision for the day — whether you're planning a first look, a relaxed morning, or golden hour portraits — I’ll help you build a timeline that flows beautifully. Taking into account the unique elements of your celebration and the sunset times at your wedding destination, I’ll carefully craft a bespoke photography schedule that ensures we capture everything with intention and while allowing you to be fully present on the day. Here’s an example of a typical 8 hour timeline to give you an idea of what your day might look like:
13:00-13:30: Decor details
13:30-14:30: Groom’s details, prep, and portraits
14:30-15:00: Bridal details (dress, jewelry, rings, etc.)
15:00-16:30: Bridal preparation (including getting ready shots, first looks, and bridal portraits, ensuring ample time for all moments without stress)
16:30-17:00: Ceremony
17:00-17:30: Family portraits
17:30-18:00: Bridal party portraits
18:00-19:00: Cocktail hour (optional but an excellent opportunity for candid moments with guests)
19:00-20:00: Couple’s portraits
20:00-22:00: Reception coverage
FAQ’S
-
To make it official and lock in your date, a signed service agreement and a 30% non-refundable booking fee are required, with the remaining balance due one month before your wedding. Dates fill up quickly — especially for popular seasons and destinations — so the sooner we get you booked in, the better! Just send over an email with your date, venue, and chosen package, and I’ll send through everything you need to get started. I can’t wait to help bring your vision to life!
-
While I don’t offer videography myself, I’m happy to recommend a trusted videographer whose style and approach complement mine beautifully. We’ve worked together before and share a similar outlook when it comes to documenting weddings in an authentic, unobtrusive way — making your photo and video experience feel seamless and well-aligned.
-
I usually recommend locking in your vendors as soon as you’ve secured your date and venue! I take on a limited number of weddings each month (between two and three) to ensure every couple receives all my care and attention. Dates often book out at least 8 months in advance, especially during peak seasons, so if you feel like we might be a great fit, I’d love to connect and start dreaming up your day together!
