Trash The Dress

Trash the dress sessions with a natural and artistic approach with Leyre, a Madrid based photographer

This photo shoot combines the illusion and love of the wedding day, symbolized by the wedding dress and suit, with the flexibility to explore different locations and ideas. This also a great opportunity to do a complete photo session of the just married couple since the wedding day usually goes too fast and is spent in company of all the guests.

I’m here to tell your story beyond your wedding day

If you’ve just stumbled upon my website, let me introduce myself! I’m Leyre, a wedding and couple photographer with ten years of experience. I was born and raised in Madrid, so I know the city inside out. I’ve been with the love of my life for 14 years, and that’s actually one of the reasons I started photographing couples.

Have you married your soulmate but don’t have many beautiful photos together? Are you visiting Madrid and dreaming of a special photoshoot in your wedding outfits? That’s where I come in—I’d love to make it happen for you!

I absolutely adore post-wedding photo sessions in Madrid. Whether it’s in the middle of Gran Vía, strolling through the Royal Palace gardens, watching the sunset by Retiro’s lake, wandering the charming old streets of the city center, or even sharing a slice of pizza at a cozy café. Your love story deserves to be captured in a way that feels real and special.

Depending on the package that suits you best, we’ll have time to do all of this (or any other ideas you have in mind!). My goal is to help you get natural, spontaneous, romantic, and heartfelt photos that truly reflect your connection.

Let’s create your next adventure!

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.

Just keep in mind the duration of the package you book. For example, if you choose a 30 minute 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 post wedding 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 post wedding or trash the dress photos in Madrid will reflect your connection in an honest and beautiful way.

If it rains during your post wedding photoshoot in Madrid, we can adapt the plan 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 sessions 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, walk through the city, kiss in the rain and enjoy a session that feels unique, emotional and unforgettable.

Madrid offers many incredible locations for a post wedding or trash the dress session, from iconic spots like El Retiro Park, the Royal Palace area, Gran Via street, or Templo de Debod, to quieter hidden corners with more privacy.

As a photographer in Madrid, I’ll recommend the best locations based on your style, the time of day and whether you want something elegant, urban, romantic or more relaxed.

You can also explore my locations section, where I share my favorite photo 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 post wedding session 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 and elegant post wedding photoshoot.

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 and relaxed experience.

Summer in Madrid can be quite hot, so it’s not my favorite season for this kind of session. 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. In summer the sun sets quite late, around 9 to 10 pm, so golden hour sessions usually happen later in the evening.

Winter has its own kind of magic. Even though there are fewer colors and shorter days, there are far fewer people, which means more privacy and a more relaxed experience in places like Plaza Mayor or the Sabatini Gardens. The only downside of winter is the cold, especially if the bride is wearing a very summery dress. In that case, my recommendation is to wait until spring or plan the session closer to sunset, when it’s a bit warmer than early in the morning.

No matter the season, I’ll help you choose the best timing for your post wedding or trash the dress session in Madrid based on light, crowds and the feeling you want to create.

For post wedding 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.

If you’re looking for urban photos around Gran Vía or La Latina, I recommend planning the session at sunset and into early night. The lights from the buildings and shops create a beautiful atmosphere, making the photos feel unique, vibrant and full of character.

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 post wedding 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 post wedding 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.

Yes, it’s much better to arrive fully ready, so we can make the most of our time together. Ideally, you’ll come prepared from home and we’ll meet directly at the first location where we’ll start shooting.

For the bride, if you’re planning to wear heels, I recommend bringing a pair of sneakers to move more comfortably between locations or even wear them during the session if they’re not visible under the dress.

All my post wedding and trash the dress photoshoots in Madrid include a fully personalized experience, focused on capturing your story in a natural and emotional way after the wedding day.

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 post wedding session in Madrid.

During the photoshoot, my approach is relaxed and natural. I make sure you feel comfortable so you can simply enjoy the moment while I capture it beautifully and honestly.
