HOLLY + MARK: from Australia to Fain Viejo, Arcos de la Frontera
Planning a Wedding in Spain? Essential Tips & Checklist for an Editorial Wedding Where Enjoyment Meets Impeccable Style
A real wedding preview — Holly & Mark | Fain Viejo, Arcos de la Frontera
If you’re dreaming of getting married in Spain — the golden light, the whitewashed villages, the warm nights that never seem to end — then this post is for you. Holly and Mark flew all the way from Australia to say yes in one of the most breathtaking corners of Andalusia, and 48 hours later, here we are — analogue and digital images already in their hands, and a story we can’t stop thinking about.
But before we dive into the photos, let’s talk about how to plan an editorial wedding in Spain where the priority is simple: enjoy every single moment, surrounded by beauty, great people, and a team you can fully trust.
What Makes an Editorial Wedding Different?
An editorial wedding isn’t about stiffness or perfection. It’s about intentional aesthetics — every detail considered, every supplier chosen with purpose — so that on the day itself, you don’t have to think about anything. You just live it. The images take care of themselves.
Holly and Mark nailed this. And their team made it possible.
The Dream Team Behind Holly & Mark’s Day
A wedding is only as good as the people behind it. Here’s who made this one extraordinary:
Wedding Planning — Lucy, The Boutique Wed Co The backbone of the entire day. Lucy and Jesus are the kind of planners who thinks of everything so you don’t have to. From coordinating international guests to managing every timeline detail at the venue — they are the reason everything flowed effortlessly.
Venue — Fain Viejo, Arcos de la Frontera Perched in the white village of Arcos de la Frontera in Cádiz, this venue is the stuff of dreams. Ancient stone walls, sweeping Andalusian views, and a warmth that makes every photo feel timeless. If you’re planning a destination wedding in Spain, this place belongs on your list.
Photography — AHR Photos, Ana Herrera (That’s me!) Capturing Holly and Mark’s day through both digital and analogue lenses — because some moments deserve to live on film.
Florals — Le Boyerd Soft, organic, utterly romantic. The florals tied the whole aesthetic together in the most effortless way.
DJ & Music — Costa del Sol DJ The energy on the dance floor was everything. A DJ who reads the room and keeps the night alive.
Live Music — Alkk & Chris Duo The cocktail hour soundtrack. Acoustic, soulful, and the perfect bridge between ceremony and celebration.
Hair & Makeup — JCLora Beauty Flawless. Relaxed. Exactly the kind of getting-ready experience every bride deserves.
Videography — El Zarrio Two cameras, one vision. El Zarrio brought their signature eye to capture every moving moment
