Bold Colors, Love and Iconic Architecture at a Striking Honeymoon Shoot

Featured Members:

This honeymoon photoshoot in Spain is a continuation of Cynthia and Dani’s beautiful wedding shoot in Portugal at Penha Longa. A couple of days after their stunning wedding experience, they joined their photographer, Maria Hedengren, for another unforgettable session, this time at the iconic Muralla Roja. This shoot blends love, architecture, and art in a way that only a true creative collaboration can achieve, capturing the magic that happens when love and creativity intersect.

A Journey from Portugal to Spain

Cynthia and Dani are no strangers to Maria’s lens. The couple first connected with her in Portugal for a stunning wedding photoshoot. The connection was instant, and when Maria found out that the couple lived near the iconic Muralla Roja in Spain, she saw an opportunity to create something truly special.

"I was flying there to photograph the location because it is so awesome, so I asked them if they would be interested in joining me for a creative session there."

The Venue That Speaks Volumes

Muralla Roja, located in Calpe on the Spanish Costa Blanca, is an architectural marvel. This postmodern apartment complex was designed by the renowned Spanish architect Ricardo Bofill in 60’s. The vibrant, geometric fortress stands boldly against the Mediterranean Sea, offering sweeping views that make it one of the most picturesque locations in Spain.

Muralla Roja’s vivid red and pink hues, combined with its angular architecture, make it a dream location for any photographer, especially one with Maria’s architectural background. 

"The space was the biggest inspiration for me – as a wedding photographer with a background in Architecture, the Muralla Roja location was heaven for my creative soul."

Blending Love and Architecture

The idea behind this shoot was simple but profound—capturing the love between Cynthia and Dani within a space that inspires creativity. The contrast of the couple’s soft, romantic moments against the bold, striking lines of Muralla Roja creates a series of images that are emotionally rich and visually stunning.

Maria Hedengren’s work is defined by her ability to blend strong composition with beautiful light and flattering expressions. Her Master’s degree deeply influenced her perception of space, texture, interaction of light, and perspective—elements that are evident in every shot from this session.

“My journey as a destination wedding photographer began in Helsinki sixteen years ago, but my love for photographing portraits in urban spaces has always been a constant.”

Details That Tell the Story

From Cynthia’s chic, minimalistic dress by COS to the natural makeup and hair styled by Cynthia herself, every detail of this shoot was thoughtfully curated. The vibrant colors of the venue were perfectly complemented by the couple’s attire—Dani in crisp, light-colored trousers and a white shirt, and Cynthia in a bold blue dress that stood out against the red walls. The contrast of their outfits against the vibrant reds, pinks, and blues of the complex highlights their connection.

Capturing the Magic of Muralla Roja

Throughout the shoot, Maria expertly used the various architectural elements of the venue to frame Cynthia and Dani in unique ways. In one image, the couple is seen standing amidst the labyrinth-like structure of the complex, captured from an aerial view that emphasizes the intricate design of the building. 

Some images showcase Cynthia and Dani at different levels within the structure, surrounded by vivid red walls and softened by cacti and other greenery, which adds a natural element to the otherwise geometric environment.

In another dramatic shot that worth to mention is where Cynthia stands in a shadowy passageway of Muralla Roja, with Dani’s shadow cast on the pink wall beside her. The interplay of light and shadow, combined with the warm tones of the setting sun, creates a sense of mystery and romance. 

Each photograph is a piece of art that encapsulates not just a moment in time but the timeless connection between space, form, and human emotion.
