Jimena San Miguel and Volvoreta

Jimena San Miguel began taking pictures at eleven with a film Kodak. In her teens she moved in front of the lens, modelling for Vogue and Oh Que Luna at seventeen, and by eighteen she was a production manager for Telva, Vogue and ¡HOLA! magazines.

She directs Volvoreta from Vigo and Madrid, and the studio has photographed weddings since 2009. The fashion background shows in the pictures: colour is chosen with care, compositions are considered, and the couple are photographed from close by.

The portfolio ranges from a street party in Havana, a wedding from which later reached the cover of ¡HOLA!, to the 2018 wedding of Duchess Sophie of Württemberg and Count Maximilien d'Andigné at Schloss Tegernsee in Bavaria. Wire-photo captions from that day credit the images to Volvoreta. Weddings in France and Brazil also feature, alongside destination weddings across Spain.

Styles include documentary, editorial, fashion-influenced and fine art. The studio shoots video as well as photography, and has covered both a two-person ceremony on a Mediterranean cliff edge and multi-day celebrations of around a hundred guests.

Review

I will never have enough words to talk about the amazing work that Jimena does. Our wedding photos are such a special momento and we couldn’t have made a better decision than going with Volvoreta. From the days leading up to the grand day, then during the wedding and after, dealing with Jimena is easy, clear and professional. I’m not only happy that she was our wedding photographer for her magnificent work, simple, natural photos with incredible light, but also for how easy everything was. She truly gives off a special aura. We will always be grateful!

Review

Jimena was our photographer for our wedding last summer in the south of France and I can’t praise her enough. I instantly fell in love with her aesthetics and knew I wanted to work with her. She is extremely professional and made sure to come the day before to look at the venue. She also has an awesome personality, is amazing with all the guests, and gave great advice to me and my husband. And off course the photos look stunning! She made every little detail stand out, the emotions are captured so perfectly. I will treasure them for the rest of my life. I can’t recommend Jimena and Volvoreta enough. They are the best!

The Volvoreta team and Jimena are simply AMAZING! They really are more than photographers and videographers. They have a beautiful sense of aesthetics. From the beginning to the end they offered endless support, advice and guidance. On the day itself we felt in safe hands and it was like having friends with us! Their experience and professionalism shines through, allowing you to relax and have the best day of your life. We couldn’t be more happier with the results, they are seriously talented and genuinely love what they do! We highly recommend Volvoreta to do your wedding photography and video. They have exceeded our expectations in every possible way! Many Thanks, Marta & Nacho.
