Ballemari

Wedding videographer at Hacienda Ballemari.

We have filmed more than three weddings at Hacienda Ballemari, on the outskirts of the city of Huelva, between 2023 and 2026. It is one of the venues in the province where we have worked most and we know it from the inside: the olive garden, the courtyard of the clay jars, the two halls and the fields around it, which turn golden at sunset. According to its own website, it was built in 1898 as Finca Santa Isabel and was an olive-oil mill; it was restored in 2001. It stands beside the Nicoba riverbank, in the middle of the marshes, and still has thousand-year-old olive trees and the clay jars from the mill. We film the way we always do: documentary, no posing, two videographers, the whole ceremony with our own sound, and the open bar too.
