A Traditional Jewish Wedding in Marbella
This Jewish wedding in Marbella was one of the celebrations I enjoyed photographing the most last year. Traditional Jewish weddings are always full of meaning, emotion and beautiful rituals, and this day was no exception.
The couple chose La Finca La Concepción as the setting for their wedding, one of the most spectacular venues in southern Spain. Located on the outskirts of Málaga, the finca is surrounded by tropical gardens, historic architecture and Mediterranean light, creating an ideal atmosphere for an elegant destination wedding in Marbella.
Sebastian and Marion live in France but dreamed of celebrating a destination wedding in the south of Spain. For their special day, they stayed and got ready at the Westin La Quinta hotel before heading to the ceremony venue.
Both bride and groom looked effortlessly elegant. Marion wore a beautiful white dress with soft waves in her hair and a traditional wedding veil, while Sebastian chose a navy suit with a white shirt and dark tie, a timeless and refined look.
Once ready, we arrived at La Finca La Concepción, where the ceremony, cocktail hour and dinner would take place. The venue looked stunning, with Andalusian-inspired decor created by Tucco Wedding Planner, perfectly designed for this French Jewish wedding in Marbella.
From the Chuppah Ceremony to the Evening Celebration
The wedding celebration began with the traditional Jewish ceremony, held outdoors under the chuppah. This symbolic canopy represents God’s presence and the home the couple will build together, open on all sides to friends and family.
During the ceremony, bride and groom exchanged rings, received blessings and listened to the reading of the ketubah. The ceremony ended with the groom breaking the glass, followed by joyful cheers of “Mazel Tov” from their guests, accompanied by live music that added warmth and emotion to the moment.
After the ceremony, we walked through the Mediterranean gardens at sunset to create natural portraits filled with soft light. The wedding cocktail took place by the pool, allowing guests to enjoy the beautifully styled decor at La Finca La Concepción before dinner.
The dinner setting was transformed by Tucco Wedding Planner into a spectacular outdoor space, combining rustic elements, wooden tables and elegant floral arrangements. Later in the evening, guests enjoyed traditional Jewish dances, including the joyful moment when the couple was lifted into the air during the celebration.
After dinner, live music and heartfelt speeches filled the night, creating a lively and emotional atmosphere. Congratulations to Goyo Catering for the delicious dinner and to Tucco Wedding Planner for the flawless planning and decoration. Thank you to Marion and Sebastian for trusting me to photograph this Jewish wedding in Marbella.
