International wedding photographer, Educator & Lecturer
Worked with Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, and other renowned publications.
My name is Serafín Castillo, I am a wedding photographer living in Nerja, a picturesque town on the southern coast of Spain. Although my initial education was at the university, where I studied to become a teacher and pedagogue, photography entered my life unexpectedly and profoundly transformed it. It was then that I decided to study at an art school, which allowed me to combine my passion for images with my teaching skills.
Over the years, I have specialized in wedding photography, a discipline that allows me to capture authentic, emotional, and meaningful moments. My first major achievement in this field was being a finalist for "Rookie of the Year" in Europe, an award that marked the beginning of my professional career.
From that point on, my work began to take me beyond the borders of my country. I started photographing weddings outside my region, which helped me earn a place in major international magazines such as Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, and other renowned publications. My passion for telling stories through images has taken me around the world, giving me the opportunity to capture the essence of celebrations in places as diverse as Europe, America, and Asia.
What makes my work unique is the combination of my experience as both an educator and a photographer. Over the years, I’ve taken my knowledge around the world, giving lectures and workshops that aim not only to teach photographic techniques but also to inspire others to connect with the magic of each event and learn to capture the unique essence of every wedding.
For me, photography is not just a profession but a way of telling stories, connecting with the emotions of couples and their families, and preserving moments that will never come again. Every wedding is a new challenge and a fresh opportunity to create memories that will last a lifetime.
If you’re looking for inspiration and tools to improve your wedding photography, I’m excited to be here today in Puerto Rico to share my experience with all of you. I hope that what you learn today inspires you to keep capturing those special moments, just like I’ve been fortunate enough to do.
