I’ve always believed that places leave a mark on us, and every corner I’ve explored has shaped my story. About me.
I learned to appreciate the beauty of simplicity and authenticity in my hometown, way up north in Palencia: Saldaña.
Soon, I spread my wings to Valladolid, where I studied Physics and discovered a new way of looking at the world—finding patterns in chaos and understanding light in a completely different way.
Later, in Madrid, I started working in the tech world and bought my first “serious” camera—the one that would become my greatest companion.
With every trip and every photo, I realized that photography was how I saw and felt the world.
Then one day, fate placed me at a wedding, assisting a photographer, and in that very moment, I knew I had found my place, my purpose.
One wedding led to another, and another… and before I knew it, I had turned my career around to dedicate myself entirely to wedding photography.
A couple more twists and turns, and my path led me to Málaga, where I’ve been living since 2016, still pouring my heart into every love story I have the privilege of capturing.
Soy Marta Monés, fotógrafa de bodas, asentada en Mijas, dispuesta a desplazarme a cualquier rincón de Málaga, España o del mundo.
And right now, all I know is that at the end of every wedding day, when I come home, nothing feels more fulfilling than knowing my images have become priceless memories for those who trusted me. That they’ll be part of a family’s legacy—one that will never fade.
That’s what makes me want to be a better photographer, and a better person, every single day.
Why wedding photography?
People often ask me this, and my answer is always clear:
I love documentary photography—moving around, chasing the story, finding the right angle, capturing spontaneity, speed, creativity… And at a wedding, everything happens! For me, it’s like an amusement park—people laugh, cry, hug, get emotional, kids play, elders have fun. Everything is beautiful, emotions are raw, happiness is everywhere… and all of it flows through the camera. To the point where if you laugh, I laugh. If you cry, I cry.
