La Luz

Wedding videographer at Convento de la Luz.

We have filmed more than fifteen weddings at Convento de la Luz, more than anywhere else. We are based in Huelva, it is home, and we know its courtyards, its timings and the way guests move from the drinks reception to the table. According to the venue’s own website, its origins go back to the fifteenth century: Diego de Oyón, born in Moguer in 1409, gave his lands to the Order of Saint Jerome to build a monastery dedicated to Our Lady of the Light. After the confiscations of 1836 it passed into private hands and became a farming estate; it was restored in the mid-twentieth century and has been a listed monument (Bien de Interés Cultural) since 1985. Today it is an events estate on a hilltop, among vineyards and olive groves. We film the way we always do: documentary, no posing, two videographers, the whole ceremony with our own sound, and the open bar too.
