Preparing for Your Segovia Elopement at Hoces del Rio Duraton:

If you’re planning to elope in Spain, hurray, we’re glad you’re here! Here’s our best tips for preparing and having success with a Segovia elopement at Hoces del rio Duraton:

Plan for a good time of year and day. To beat the heat and the cold, the best times for photoshoots at Hoces del Rio Duraton in Segovia is either in the spring / early summer or fall (March-July; Sept.-Nov.). The best time for your photoshoot would be an hour and a half before sunset— if you hire us to be your photographers, we will create a timeline for you and hook you up with the best local vendors such as a celebrant and florist.

Transportation to Hoces del Rio Duraton. This one is a bit tricky. Since it’s a natural park, there aren’t any public transportation options. Even if you get to Segovia, the park is an hour drive from the actual city of Segovia. If yo hire us to be your photographers, we offer a carpool from Madrid included in the photoshoot price.

Wear comfortable shoes! You won’t regret this one! This location in particular has a small rubbly hike to the viewpoint where the best photos are, so wearing a pair of comfy shoes to get there is something we always suggest.

Bring props: a bouquet, a blanket, etc. We highly recommend getting a flower bouquet to compliment your dress in the photos! Feel free to bring whatever else you’d like to incorporate in your elopement. Go ahead and bring your pet, some champagne, that guitar, those hand-written vows, a picnic— we want to capture whatever you like doing most together!

Have fun. Don’t worry about the cameras and the posing. That’s our job as the photographers! All you need to do is enjoy the moment with the one you love the most, and make it a fun date night! I promise you’ll be having a good time 15 minutes into your photoshoot.

An Elopement Ceremony at Hoces del Rio Duraton

This beautiful ceremony was orchestrated by one of our favourite celebrants in Madrid, Stefan. It just so happens to be that he is Jake brother, too! Needless to say, we love working with him because Stefan is absolutely incredible at drawing out the very best in each couple. This symbolic elopement ceremony was full of happy tears, sentimental words, and memories to last their lifetime. Good thing we got it all on video, too (interested in adding video to your elopement?
