The Leap
Leap (lēp) — noun
1. A bold jump from one place to another, often requiring courage.
2. The act of moving forward with trust, hope, and love — as two people do when they commit to each other in marriage.
We recognize you are choosing a shared life not just a wedding day, and that is huge. Every couple deserves to have this moment captured and documented — because the leap you take on your wedding day becomes the story you’ll relive for a lifetime.
I’m Terrence, founder of The Leap Weddings
I’ve Been Where You Are
When I married my Spanish wife in Madrid, I faced the same stress and uncertainty you may be feeling right now.
That experience, along with photographing over 50 weddings across the U.S. and Spain, taught me how to anticipate what couples truly need — and how to make the process simple, stress-free, and fun.
You want a wedding that feels bold, emotional, and full of life — not a cookie-cutter set of poses, but a story that’s uniquely yours.
Planning a wedding here can feel overwhelming, especially if Spain is far from home. From time zones to language barriers, it’s easy to worry about missing details or choosing the wrong photographer.
That’s where I come in.
What's Your Booking Process Like?
It starts with a quick call or video chat so we can talk through your vision. Once we’ve chosen a date, I’ll send over a simple contract and deposit invoice to secure your booking. From there, I help with planning details, timelines, and creative ideas — so on the day, you can be fully present while I capture everything. I'm more than happy to work with your planner or day-of coordinator and be part of your wedding Dream Team!
What should I wear on my engagement shoot?
Choose outfits that make you feel confident and comfortable, but also photograph beautifully. Solid colors, subtle patterns, and flattering fits work best — avoid overly busy prints or large logos.
I recommend bringing two looks: one more elevated (think a dress or tailored outfit) and one relaxed and casual. Most importantly, make sure you and your partner are matched in style and level of dress — for example, if one is in a formal look, the other should be as well.
For shoes, choose something you can walk in easily, especially if we’ll be exploring the city or a scenic location.
How soon will we get our photos or video?
For weddings, you’ll receive a small preview within a few days, with your full gallery delivered within 4–6 weeks. Engagement sessions are usually ready in 2 weeks. Video delivery times vary depending on the project, but I’ll always provide a clear timeline before we start.
Are you available outside of Spain?
Yes! While I’m based in Madrid, I regularly travel to cities and countryside locations all over Spain and Europe. I know how to find the best light, and hidden spots for unforgettable images. ::spoiler alert:: I research the hell out of everywhere I go. So even if I haven't been there before you’ll have a local’s insight with a photographer’s eye.
Can we customize a package to fit our needs?
Of course. Every couple and event is unique, so if you need more hours, extra locations, or a mix of photo and video coverage, I’ll tailor a package that’s right for you. My goal is to make sure you get exactly what matters most to you.
We’re shy in front of the camera — will that be a problem?
Not at all. Most of my couples say the same thing at first. My approach is relaxed and guided — I’ll help with posing when needed, but I’ll also create space for natural moments so you look like yourselves, not like you’re “posing for a photo.”
What languages do you speak?
I’m a native English speaker, born and raised in New York City, and I’m also fluent in Spanish after living in Spain for over five years. I regularly coordinate with wedding professionals and clients in both languages, making it easy to work with local vendors and ensure nothing is lost in translation.
