Cigarral de las Mercedes
June 18-19, 2028 | Spain
"You were the easiest and best choice we made for our wedding"
The people are the story
You're bringing together your families, your chosen family, and many people who are meeting for the first time. We pay attention to what happens between them, so your photographs become a record of the relationships that make up your whole world.
Present, not performed
You don't want to spend your wedding performing for a camera. We use gentle direction when it helps and documentary awareness when it doesn't, so you can stay immersed in the people around you while we tune into what's happening.
The details that make it unmistakably yours
We take the time to understand what you value most, so we can capture how you show your people love, and the look on their faces when they find the details you've chosen for them.
The moments you couldn't have planned
The most meaningful photographs are impossible to put on a shot list: a toast that catches you off guard, a tear you didn’t see coming, a new connection forming over dinner. We leave room for those moments to happen rather than filling the day with things to photograph.
Friends who've done this before
You make the decisions, and we bring the experience. We give you a timeline to start from and honest advice on the light, the locations and the flow of the day, including three short portrait breaks for romantic photos of just the two of you. Then you can hand off the plan and live the day.
Photographs that become more valuable with time
It may be the people you love meeting for the first time, or a small gesture that reveals exactly how someone loved you. Those are the photographs that preserve not only who was there, but how everyone belonged to one another.
Canadian warmth meets European know-how
We’re Alecia and Patrick, a husband-and-wife team from Canada who have lived and worked in Europe since 2013. Weddings have taken us across Wales, Germany, Italy, Portugal, Spain and Austria, and we’ve learned how they really work here: the timelines, the venues, the vendors, and guest lists that span languages and countries.
Our approach is honest, documentary storytelling with a refined editorial eye. We’re watching for the hand squeezes, the laughter between speeches, the quiet awe before everything begins.
As expert travellers we know hiccups with flight schedules are commonplace, we arrive 1-2 days before your event, and all our equipment travels with us, with backups for every piece.
When you’re fully present, your photographs hold what matters most. Not just how your wedding looked, but how deeply it was felt.
Your photos should do more than look beautiful.
They should remind you how deeply loved you are.
Cigarral de las Mercedes
We’ve built your coverage around the two moments where your families come together: the welcome party on June 18 and the wedding day on June 19, 2028, at Cigarral de las Mercedes. Everything is included, with travel and accommodation covered.
€7.000
Your wedding lasts twelve hours. The photographs will be in your home, and your family, for the next fifty years. This is what you’re investing in.
Both of us, all day
From the quiet morning before everything begins to the last song on the dance floor, Alecia and Patrick are with you. While one of us is with you, the other is with the people who love you. So you’re never choosing between two moments: the look on someone’s face when they see you, the laughter during speeches, the tear in the back row.
A day you can sink into
Before the wedding, we walk through your timeline together, so you arrive knowing the light, the pacing and the plan are taken care of. You get to be a guest at your own wedding.
The whole story, not just the highlights
About 800 thoughtfully curated photographs, from the nervous breath before the ceremony to the dance floor, delivered in four weeks. Open the gallery and you’re back in the day.
Your first moments, while they’re still fresh
Within 48 hours, twelve photographs are in your inbox, so you can see your day through your own eyes again while the feeling is still new, and send a few to the people who couldn’t be there.
The day in a few minutes
Your best photographs gathered into one slideshow, for the nights you want to feel it all again.

Your story, ready to hold
A gallery lives on a screen. A wedding album is meant to live on a shelf, in your children’s hands, and on the coffee table when your grandchildren visit. We design yours for you, choosing the photographs, their order and the pacing, so your day reads like the story it was, from the quiet morning to the last dance. All you have to do is approve it.
When you’re ready to hold it, we order it through our European album partner. We designed this album together with the lab, so you won’t find it anywhere else: a bespoke editorial album, 25 × 32 cm, with a velvet cover in your choice of five colors.
And for the two families who made you who you are, matching parent albums are available as an upgrade. For many parents, it’s the gift they treasure most.
Ready when you are
Your investment is €8.400 including VAT.
€2.000 deposit when you sign the contract, which secures your dates.
€6.400 balance due 30 days before your wedding date.
To book, just email us at alecia@aleciapatrick.com and we’ll send the contract. You can pay by bank transfer or WISE transfer.
Questions before then?
We’re always happy to chat.
Here for you and your team
A real person, every time you reach out
Planning a wedding abroad can feel like a lot of voices and a lot of questions. When you write to us, I answer personally, within one business day. There’s no assistant and no inbox to get lost in, and I schedule calls around your time zone. You’ll always know who has your back.
Your wedding is the only one we’ll be thinking about
We take no other bookings on June 18–19, 2028. Both days are yours, with no other wedding pulling at our attention or schedule. If the weather shifts, the timeline changes or your grandmother wants one more photograph, we have the space to adapt without rushing. Our full attention stays with you.
An intentional edit of the moments that define your celebration.

JOYFUL
We pay attention to what matters most.
