Wedding at the Cigarral de las Mercedes

An American wedding at Cigarral de las Mercedes, Toledo

Alex and Alexis flew from the United States to Toledo to celebrate their wedding in one of the city's most exclusive venues: the Cigarral de las Mercedes. With Spanish roots on Alexis's side of the family, it was the perfect setting to unite cultures and create an unforgettable day.

​

As a wedding photographer in Toledo, I've been fortunate enough to capture heartfelt moments, but this day was truly special. From the very beginning, the excitement was palpable. One of the most emotional moments was the bride's father's first look, who saw her dress for the first time and couldn't hold back his tears. Shortly after, Alex and Alexis shared their own first look in the Cigarral gardens, a moment filled with love and connection.

​

The outdoor ceremony was intimate and elegant, with stunning views of Toledo. After the "I do," guests enjoyed a cocktail reception accompanied by a live flamenco performance, a very special touch since the flamenco dancer was the bride's cousin.

​

The candlelit dinner, set against the backdrop of the Toledo skyline, was another magical moment of the day. The father of the bride's speech moved everyone, bringing tears of joy and knowing smiles to the guests.

To close out the evening, the bride and groom opened the dance floor with a romantic first dance, giving way to an unforgettable party that lasted until dawn.

As a wedding photographer in Spain, I accompany foreign couples who choose our country for their big day, and I understand the importance of capturing every detail with care and sensitivity.

If you dream of a wedding in Toledo and want every emotion to be immortalized, I'd be happy to share it with you on my camera.
