Michal Carbol Photography + Drone Photography
From breathtaking drone shots that showcase the setting to intimate portraits filled with emotion, my goal is to give you a gallery that reflects the love, joy, and beauty of your day. When you choose me, you’re not just hiring a photographer, you’re investing in memories that will last a lifetime.
As a professional wedding photographer, I offer a complete service designed to capture every part of your day with precision and creativity. From the first preparations in the morning to the final dance at night, I ensure that no moment is missed. My style combines documentary storytelling with fine art photography, allowing me to capture both natural, candid emotions and carefully composed portraits. I use high-quality equipment, including advanced drone technology, to deliver breathtaking aerial views alongside intimate close-ups. Every gallery is carefully edited to highlight the beauty, atmosphere, and unique details that make your wedding one of a kind.
My services extend across the Costa del Sol and beyond, covering destination weddings, elopements, and special events. I pride myself on professionalism, reliability, and creating a relaxed experience that allows couples to feel at ease in front of the camera. With years of experience and a proven portfolio, I understand how to adapt to different venues, lighting conditions, and cultures to provide consistently stunning results. The aim is always the same: to give you a wedding album that reflects not only how your day looked, but how it felt, preserving those emotions for a lifetime.
Professional Drone Photography & Videography
My drone photography service adds a breathtaking dimension to your wedding gallery, capturing views that simply can’t be achieved from the ground. Using advanced drone technology, I create sweeping cinematic shots of your venue, dramatic landscapes, and unforgettable moments from above. Whether it’s a coastal ceremony with the sea glistening in the background, a rustic finca surrounded by rolling hills, or a grand villa in Marbella, aerial photography elevates the story of your day with striking, panoramic perspectives. Every shot is carefully composed to highlight not just the beauty of your location but the emotion of the occasion, giving you images that are as awe-inspiring as they are memorable.
Drone imagery also blends seamlessly with traditional photography, allowing your wedding album or video to showcase both intimate details and grand, scene-setting visuals. Couples love the combination of natural storytelling and cinematic artistry that drone work provides. It’s a way of making your wedding gallery truly unique, transforming it into something extraordinary that you’ll treasure for a lifetime.

Do you have a full wedding gallery I can view?
Yes, absolutely. I believe it’s important that couples see complete wedding galleries, not just highlights. This gives you a clear understanding of how I capture an entire day, from the small details in the morning to the big moments on the dance floor. I share galleries that include different venues, seasons, and lighting conditions, so you can see consistency in my work. This also helps you imagine how your own wedding might be documented, giving you confidence in my ability to deliver a story that feels unique to you.

How many hours of coverage are included, and what if I need extra time?
My standard packages cover the most important parts of the day, usually from bridal preparations through to the first dance. I understand that every wedding is different, so I offer flexible options to extend coverage as needed. If your celebration continues late into the night or you’d like me to capture every moment, I can stay longer for an agreed additional fee. My goal is always to provide peace of mind, knowing that every detail and emotion will be preserved without you having to watch the clock.

Do you include a second photographer or assistant?
For larger weddings or events with many guests, I can arrange a second photographer to ensure every angle is covered. This is particularly useful for capturing both partners’ preparations or for documenting the ceremony and guests simultaneously. A second photographer also adds more variety to your gallery, with different perspectives and candid moments that might otherwise be missed. I only work with trusted professionals whose style complements mine, so you can expect the same high quality throughout your photographs.

I use professional-grade Canon and Sony cameras, lenses, and lighting equipment to ensure the highest quality images in all conditions. I always carry backup cameras, lenses, batteries, and memory cards, so no matter what happens, your wedding photography will never be at risk. For drone photography, I use drones that meet aviation standards and deliver cinematic 4K imagery. My equipment is carefully maintained and regularly updated to keep up with the latest technology, so you can be confident that your memories are captured with precision and reliability.

How do you handle lighting and low-light situations, such as evening receptions?

I use professional lenses with excellent low-light performance, along with discreet lighting equipment, to ensure every moment is beautifully captured without losing atmosphere. My approach is to work with the natural light wherever possible and enhance it only when necessary, so the final images feel authentic and full of emotion. You can trust that your photos will look stunning, regardless of the setting.

Travel is an important part of my service, as it allows me to capture weddings in stunning locations without limiting your vision. For local weddings, there’s usually no additional fee, but for venues further away, I’ll provide a clear travel or accommodation cost in advance. Everything is transparent, so there are no surprises. My goal is to make the process smooth and straightforward, ensuring you have peace of mind from the moment you book.

I know how excited couples are to relive their wedding day, which is why I aim to deliver a preview of selected images within a few days. These sneak peeks allow you to share the joy with family and friends straight away. The full edited gallery is typically delivered within 6 to 8 weeks, depending on the season and size of the wedding. Every photograph is carefully selected and edited to the highest standard, so you can be assured of both quality and consistency in your final gallery.

I believe in quality over quantity, so every image you receive has been carefully selected and professionally edited to ensure consistency and beauty. You will not need to sift through unedited or duplicate shots; instead, you’ll have a curated gallery that tells the complete story of your wedding day. Each image is delivered in high resolution, ready for both print and digital use.

The goal is to create a gallery that looks refined yet real, allowing you to see your day exactly as it unfolded, but through an artistic lens.

How do you protect and back up our wedding photos?
Your memories are priceless, and I take every precaution to protect them. During the wedding, I use dual memory card slots so images are saved in two places instantly. After the wedding, your photographs are backed up on multiple hard drives and stored securely both on-site and off-site. I also use cloud storage for extra protection. These steps ensure that even in the unlikely event of technical failure, your photos remain safe. My commitment is to deliver your gallery with complete security and peace of mind.
