Romance at Plaza de España

Remember your time in Seville with a couples’ photo and video session at Plaza de España and in María Luisa Park, hosted by Paco, a photographer and videographer born and raised in Seville. You’ll begin at one of the city’s most iconic landmarks: Plaza de España, built for the 1929 Ibero-American Exposition and known for its grand semi-circular design, bridges, canal, arcades, and vividly painted azulejos. From there, the session continues into María Luisa Park, where shaded paths, fountains, and hidden corners offer a quieter counterpoint. This is the backdrop for a photoshoot and video session through which you’ll forever remember your trip to Seville. Rather than focusing on posed images, Paco captures natural moments and genuine interaction, using both the monumental, cinematic architecture of the plaza and the softer atmosphere of the park as the setting. A few days later, he will send you a folder with around 10 edited photographs and a short film of 30 seconds to 1 minute.

This experience brings you to two distinct, iconic settings central to how Seville is seen and felt. Plaza de España remains one of the city’s most recognizable landmarks, with a grand semi-circular form, elegant bridges over the canal, vaulted arcades, and richly worked azulejo tiles that give the space color, pattern, and scale. Built for the Ibero-American Exposition, it still carries the theatrical grandeur of that moment. Just steps away, María Luisa Park feels even more romantic. Formerly part of the gardens of the Palace of San Telmo, it opens into a landscape of shaded avenues, fountains, palms, and hidden corners. Its design evokes the ideals of Romanticism through nature, atmosphere, and an intimate beauty. Paco uses his familiarity with Seville to create images that feel natural and cinematic. The session is especially suited to couples visiting Seville for a vacation, honeymoon, engagement, anniversary, or simply to keep a lasting record of time together in Andalusia.

Paco is a filmmaker and photographer whose work is rooted in Seville and the wider landscapes of Andalusia. For years, he has documented weddings, proposals, and love stories for couples from around the world who come to Seville and Andalusia to mark important moments in their lives. That background gives him a strong instinct for timing, atmosphere, and the small gestures that make an image feel natural rather than staged. Paco brings that same cinematic approach to his experiences, creating photographs and short films that feel personal, relaxed, and rooted in place. Rather than directing heavily, Paco works with the light, the streets, and the rhythm of the neighborhood to capture real connection. Though modest about his English, he exemplies Andalusian hospitality: warm, attentive, and deeply committed to making guests feel at ease. What travelers take home is not just a set of polished images, but a memory of Seville shaped by someone who knows it from within.

Dress for the occasion. For most of the year, Seville is hot, sunny, and dry, so light, comfortable clothing is usually best. As much of the experience takes place on foot, choose footwear that you can walk in comfortably.
