Since I was a child I have had many concerns, many related to artistic expression: music, writing, photography, etc... I began to play with photography when I was 10 years old, and I continued as an amateur there until I was 29 years old. Since then I have been a professional (I am currently 45 years old).
I have always said that photography is "a weapon of mass construction". We live surrounded by technology and we constantly interact with it, a good use of photography can do very good things for people. Personally it changed my life. I had health problems for some years, and photography helped me as a therapy to get out of them. I used it as a kind of therapy.

Undoubtedly it must be a photograph that does not take into account aesthetics, and if the feeling of the precise moment that you are going to photograph. Keep in mind that a wedding is a few hours in which you are going to gather all the people you want (once in a lifetime). Photo: © Manuel Orero

The happiness of people. The inspiration is that, to project how your happiness will be when you see a real photograph, and to know how to empathize when doing it.
I can tell you the story of many, but I cannot choose one in particular. Yes, I will tell you that any in which the couple's grandparents appear. Keep in mind that photography is probably the greatest source for keeping memories. When our grandparents are no longer around, we can see their happiness in them. Those are my favorites, and I could tell you that most couples thank me once again for capturing those moments when their elders are gone. Photo: © Manuel Orero

I am a very sociable person, I love meeting new people and new places. Photography has given me that, and it is very valuable. Keep in mind that weddings are social events; if you don't have skills in them (I'm not talking about photography) it's difficult to dedicate yourself to this. I love it. Photo: © Manuel Orero

Currently I don't think there are very different styles between cultures. Keep in mind that almost all weddings have had American weddings as a reference. Perhaps I would highlight one thing about weddings in Spain: the cheerful character of people and that we love a party, and that is where we try to get the best out of it.
There is a protocol to always follow, even if we do wedding photojournalism and narrate what is happening naturally and spontaneously. This protocol must be followed: photos of both families, details of the place where the wedding is held, details of the dresses, etc... Photo: © Manuel Orero

Since I started it has always been the same, the 85mm f1.4. It's a lens that lets you "steal" moments without being too close to people. Its bokeh is beautiful, and makes the focus go to the eye of the protagonist or protagonists. (I have an f/1.4 tattooed on my forearm). Photo: © Manuel Orero

That they find the style of photography that identifies them as people. That they be honest with themselves and with their future clients. You must believe and love what you do, avoid comparisons, and make your partners see that you are going to give them the best you have. Photo: © Manuel Orero
