Engagement photographer in Retiro Park Madrid

Hey! I’m Leyre, here to tell your story in a natural and honest way

I’m Leyre Cañizares, a Madrid-based photographer, and I’ve been capturing weddings and couples for the past ten years.

I was born and raised in Madrid, so I know every little corner of the city. I’ve also lived in the U.S. and some amazing European cities like Venice, London, Rome, Vienna, Athens and Paris.

I’m a total love enthusiast. I’ve been with my husband for 14 years, which means we’ve spent half our lives together! Photography has always been my passion, and I knew from the start that I wanted to capture love stories for a living.

So, if you’re looking for a photographer to capture special moments with your partner, whether it’s to celebrate an anniversary, a birthday, or just because you feel like having a beautiful session together in Madrid, I’d love to meet you!

Let’s capture your story

If you prefer to keep the full gallery, there is a small additional cost, and you will receive all the edited images (whether that’s 50, 90, 120 or more, as it’s never an exact number.

Of course. You can choose your favorite spot in Madrid, whether it’s El Retiro Park, the Royal Palace, or a quieter hidden location. If you’re not sure, I’ll recommend the best places based on your preferences, the time of day and the atmosphere you’re looking for.Absolutely!

Just keep in mind the duration of the package you book. For example, if you choose a 30 min package, it’s best to focus on one location, as we won’t have much time together.

With a 1 hour photoshoot in Madrid, we can combine different viewpoints within the same area, like El Retiro Park or Gran Via and Cibeles, or even visit two nearby locations such as Retiro Park and Puerta de Alcalá, Gran Via and Plaza Mayor, or Templo de Debod and the Royal Palace.

If you book 90 minutes or more, we can explore several locations across Madrid. We can walk between spots or take a taxi, Uber or metro to move comfortably around the city.

The more time we have, the more photos I will take, and the more images you will receive.

Once you book your session, we can create a personalized route through your favorite places in Madrid. I’ll guide you and help you plan everything so it feels easy and natural.

It’s completely normal to feel a bit nervous before your engagement photoshoot in Madrid. Many couples tell me they’re worried about not knowing how to act in front of the camera or not feeling natural.

My approach is very relaxed and natural. I gently guide you during the session so you don’t have to worry about posing. Instead of forcing anything, I create a comfortable atmosphere where you can simply focus on each other and enjoy the moment.

After the first few minutes, that initial nervousness disappears and everything starts to feel much more natural. Most couples end up forgetting I’m even there, just enjoying their time together while I capture real, emotional moments.

Even if you feel camera-shy, your proposal or engagement photos in Madrid will reflect your connection in an honest and beautiful way.

If it rains during your engagement photoshoot in Madrid, we can adapt the plan, choose covered locations or reschedule if needed. I’ll always help you find the best option so the experience stays smooth and stress free.

That said, in my experience, some of the most beautiful photoshoots in Madrid happen under the rain. It creates a very romantic, cinematic atmosphere, with soft light and almost no people around.

We can use a transparent umbrella that I’ll bring for you, dance in the rain, run, kiss and just enjoy the moment together… like a real rom com. Your proposal or engagement photos in Madrid will feel unique and truly unforgettable.

One of my favorite proposal photoshoots in Madrid was actually done entirely under the rain, and the result was incredibly special.

Madrid offers many incredible locations for an engagement session, from iconic spots like El Retiro Park, the Royal Palace or Templo de Debod, to quieter hidden corners with more privacy.

As a couple photographer in Madrid, I’ll recommend the best locations based on your style, the time of day and how private you want the moment to be. Together we can choose the perfect place to make your proposal truly special.

You can also explore my locations section, where I share my favorite engagement spots in Madrid along with many real examples and photos from different times of the year. This can help you visualize how each place looks depending on the season, light and atmosphere.

It really depends on what you’re looking for, as each season offers a different atmosphere for your engagement in Madrid.

Personally, I love autumn. The colors are beautiful, the light is soft and the city feels calmer, which makes it perfect for a romantic proposal photoshoot in Madrid.

Spring is also a stunning season, with blooming flowers and vibrant parks like El Retiro. However, it’s usually busier, so it’s something to keep in mind if you’re looking for a more private moment. Also, if you have allergies, certain flowers can be quite intense during this time.

Summer in Madrid can be quite hot, so it’s not my favorite season for proposals. That said, early mornings are much cooler and the light is incredibly beautiful, making it a great option if you don’t mind waking up early. Keep in mind that in summer the sun sets quite late, around 9 to 10 pm, so if you’d like to propose during golden hour, my recommendation is to plan it around 8:30 to 9 pm.

Winter has its own kind of magic. Even though there are fewer colors and shorter days (sunset is around 6 pm), there are far fewer people, which means more privacy and a more relaxed experience in places like El Retiro Lake or the Sabatini Gardens.

No matter the season, I’ll help you choose the best timing for your proposal photoshoot in Madrid based on light, crowds and the feeling you want to create.

For couples sessions in Madrid, the nicest light tends to be either in the early morning or later in the day, when the sun is softer and the city feels a bit quieter, especially around spots like El Retiro or the Royal Palace.

I’ll guide you on the best timing based on the season, your chosen location and the kind of vibe you’re after, so everything feels relaxed, natural and beautifully captured.

I always recommend booking your couple photoshoot in Madrid as early as possible. Especially between April and December, many dates get booked very quickly, particularly weekends, days with good weather and time slots close to sunset.

Some couples book their engagement photographer in Madrid up to 6 months in advance, while others reach out just a few days before and can still book if I happen to be available at the exact time and location they want.

However, if you want to secure your preferred date, time and setting, it’s best to book as soon as you’re ready… even right after finishing reading this!

The cost of a engagement photographer in Madrid can vary depending on the package and the experience you’re looking for. I offer flexible photoshoot packages, designed to adapt to each couple and their plans.

My packages range from short 30 minute sessions to longer experiences of up to a couple of hours, starting from 280€. This allows you to choose what fits best depending on your idea, location and timing.

All my proposal and engagement photoshoots in Madrid include a fully personalized experience, focused on capturing your story in a natural and emotional way.

You will receive a carefully curated gallery of professionally edited high resolution images, delivered in my signature style. I personally select and edit every single photo myself. I don’t use AI tools or outsource editing, as I believe this is a key part of maintaining a consistent, honest and high quality result.

I also help you plan the entire experience. From choosing the best locations in Madrid to recommending the perfect time based on light, season and crowds, I guide you through every step so everything feels easy and stress free.

I’m always available for you throughout the process. You can reach me easily by email or WhatsApp if you have any questions, need advice or want help planning your proposal in Madrid.

During the photoshoot, my approach is relaxed and discreet, especially for surprise proposals. I make sure you feel comfortable so you can simply enjoy the moment while I capture it naturally.
