A wedding in Pola de Siero needs three things: a place for the ceremony, a place for the celebration and someone to tell the story of the day in photography and video. Pola de Siero is the capital of the municipality of Siero. It sits in the centre of Asturias, between Oviedo and Gijón. That makes it a good fit when family and friends are spread across the region. Whether they come from Oviedo, from Gijón or from the surrounding towns, nobody has to cross half of Asturias to get there.
The ceremony: civil or religious
The ceremony comes first. It can be civil or religious. For a civil wedding, the simplest thing is to ask Siero Town Council which documents they require and how far in advance they need to be submitted. For a religious wedding, the step is to speak to the parish. Each place has its own timescales, so it is worth asking early.

Where to hold the celebration
Then comes the celebration. In the municipality, as in much of Asturias, there are country estates, country houses and restaurants that host weddings. Some have a garden and others have a large hall for when it rains, which does happen in Asturias. It is best to visit them in person. Pay attention to the light, the space for dancing and where people can go if the weather changes. A photo online does not tell you all of that.
Wedding photography and video
And that leaves the photography and video. Evan & Natalia Simon provide photography and video for weddings and corporate events. They work from Gijón, for couples and brands across Asturias, Spain and Europe. Pola de Siero is a short distance from Gijón. A wedding there falls squarely within their working area. They take on few weddings and choose them carefully. That way every couple receives the attention they deserve. Evan and Natalia pay attention to what really happens during the day: the nerves before the ceremony, the family arriving from elsewhere or the long chat at the table after the meal. That is what then stays in the photos and the video.

The next step
Do you already have a date in mind? That is enough to take the next step. Write to Evan & Natalia Simon and tell them as little or as much as you have: the date, whether the ceremony will be civil or religious and whether you have already seen a venue in Pola de Siero or elsewhere in the municipality. They will suggest a short call, with no obligation, to get to know you and see whether you are a good fit. There is no need to prepare anything beforehand. That way you can keep looking at estates and restaurants with one part of the day already discussed: the photography and video.
