Alicante pairs a genuinely atmospheric former convent in the old town with one of Spain’s great hilltop castles looking down over the whole bay. This page looks at Alicante specifically, separate from the Spain country page elsewhere on this site, which spreads out across the whole country.

I photograph weddings across the city, a reception inside a converted convent’s private function rooms, portraits from the castle walls with the Mediterranean behind you. Below is the real venue worth knowing, plus the questions couples ask me most before booking a wedding here.

From Intimate Elopements to Big Weddings in Alicante

Alicante works at a smaller, intimate scale especially well, a wedding inside the convent’s private rooms paired with portraits up at the castle.

I photograph:
– quiet, intentional elopements with just the two of you
– small weddings with close family and friends
– full wedding days with a larger guest count
– multi-day wedding celebrations, including welcome dinners and relaxed moments before or after the wedding

No matter the size or length of the celebration, my focus is always the same: real moments, strong atmosphere, and portraits that feel natural rather than posed. The scale may change, but the intention doesn’t.

Wedding Videographer in Alicante: Photo and Hybrid Video Coverage

Alongside photography, I also offer wedding video coverage in Alicante as part of a hybrid photo and video approach.

Video is treated as an extension of the photography, captured with the same sensitivity to light, timing, and atmosphere. The focus stays on real moments, movement, and sound, without staged scenes or intrusive production.

For weddings that benefit from an additional perspective, a dedicated videographer can also be included, always working in the same calm, unobtrusive way and fully aligned with how I photograph the day.

This approach works especially well for destination weddings, where intimacy, setting, and emotion matter more than spectacle.

The Wedding Venues in Alicante

Wedding venue near Alicante

Hospes Amerigo
A five-star hotel built around a former Dominican convent in Alicante’s old town, its austere stonework opened up by a 19th-century passageway to Mediterranean light. Its private function rooms are set up for weddings, though capacity isn’t published, worth confirming your numbers directly with the hotel.

Castillo de Santa Barbara
Not a wedding venue, but a 9th-century Moorish castle on Mount Benacantil overlooking the whole city and bay, free to visit and one of the best portrait viewpoints on this entire site.

Your Alicante Wedding Photographer

I’m Dejan, an Alicante wedding photographer.
My focus is always the wedding itself, not performances for the camera. The photos are simply a reflection of the day: genuine, calm, and emotionally grounded.

I take my work seriously, but never myself too seriously. A relaxed atmosphere, clear communication, and quiet confidence make all the difference, especially for destination weddings.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Hospes Amerigo confirm a wedding guest capacity?

Not publicly, the hotel works with couples directly on numbers for its private function rooms and passageway.

Can we have our ceremony at Castillo de Santa Barbara?

It’s a public heritage site rather than a bookable wedding venue, so it works best as a portrait location before or after the ceremony elsewhere.

What’s the best time of year for an Alicante wedding?

Spring and autumn are more comfortable than Alicante’s hot summer, though this stretch of the Mediterranean coast is generally milder than inland Spain year-round.

Which airport should our guests fly into?

Alicante Airport has extensive European routes and is about 10 minutes from the city centre, one of the more convenient airports covered on this site.

Do we need a wedding planner in Alicante?

Not essential for a hotel wedding at Hospes Amerigo, since its own events team runs most of the logistics directly.
