A Sunlit Celebration at Finca La Concepción
Photographed by Anna Kudinova
Some love stories begin with fireworks, others with quiet walks under the stars. For Maria and Larry, it was somewhere in between — on the slopes of Verbier, with laughter, good food, and just enough wine to spark something lasting. As photographer Anna Kudinova recalls, “It was late September 2023, and from that day on, everything started to feel different — as if they had always been meant to share life together.”
A few years later, the couple gathered their closest family and friends in Marbella, Spain, to celebrate beneath the palm trees of Finca La Concepción. The venue’s open gardens and mountain views offered a naturally cinematic backdrop — timeless yet unpretentious, the perfect stage for a sun-drenched celebration filled with joy and colour.
The day unfolded in soft Mediterranean light, with pastel florals echoing the surrounding gardens. Shades of blush, apricot, and cream spilled across the ceremony arch and table arrangements, balancing refinement with warmth. Maria’s minimalist gown carried quiet sophistication, while Larry’s navy suit added a touch of modern polish — a combination that felt effortlessly harmonious against the Spanish countryside.
As the sun dipped below the palms, the celebration moved outdoors, where bamboo chairs, crystal glassware, and flickering candles created an inviting atmosphere under the evening sky. From the couple’s lively entrance to an unforgettable bridesmaid performance and a fireworks-lit cake cutting, the night brimmed with emotion and energy. “It was a day full of love, joy, and sunshine,” says Anna — a fitting reflection of the couple themselves.
For couples dreaming of a destination wedding in southern Spain, Marbella continues to charm with venues like Finca La Concepción — places that balance natural beauty, rich history, and the unmistakable ease of Mediterranean life.
