Who it's for
Couples, multi-generational families and groups who want a wedding photographer's reportage, at a more relaxed pace than an express session

Flor Galarza is a wedding photographer in the north of Mallorca, with a studio in Pollença, and she also does one-hour sessions for travellers: couples, families, people travelling alone. Her meeting point is in Port de Pollença, and her sample photos are of headlands over the sea, rocks with waves and jetties. She sells it as a service on Airbnb, which is where you book, at a group price of €420 an hour, for up to ten people.

Three commissions

  • Standard session: one hour outdoors, for couples, families or solo travellers. €420.
  • Marriage proposal: one hour, with help choosing the place and the time when the light and the crowds cooperate. €480.
  • Intimate wedding or elopement: two hours, handled like a reportage. €580.

She accepts groups of up to ten people and children from age two: it is one of the few sessions on this coast genuinely designed for big families.

Where it takes place

The photographer travels within the area marked on her map, based in Port de Pollença; for anywhere else you need to write to her first. Her sample photos give an idea of the settings: a couple on top of a headland with the cliffs behind, as from the Es Colomer viewpoint on the way to Formentor; flat rocks with the sea breaking; a jetty with the bay behind. Agree the place by message when you book, because from mid-May to mid-October the Formentor road restricts car access from 10:00 to 22:00.

The photographer

She has ten years' experience and more than six hundred sessions, trained at the Escuela Argentina de Fotografía and has taken photos for the lifestyle magazine Spend In. Because of her wedding work, her style is reportage: natural light and unforced gestures.

Tips

  • Ask for a date by message On 14 November the listing showed no free dates in the calendar: write to settle the day.
  • Ask about the delivery time The listing does not say how long the photos take; ask if you need them for something specific.
  • Choose the time with the photographer The north coast changes a lot with the light: she knows what time each spot works.
