A Family Evening in Maspalomas – Dinner at Way2Brothers and a Sunset Photo Session

During one of my recent photo sessions in Maspalomas, I had the pleasure of meeting a family from the Netherlands who were visiting Gran Canaria for the first time.

They wanted a relaxed and natural family photo shoot to capture the memories of their holiday. We met at the dunes just before sunset, where the soft evening light created the perfect setting.

The Photo Session

The family – two parents and their two children – had booked a 45-minute session.

Their goal was simple: to have a few good pictures from their trip that weren’t taken on a phone.

What made the session special was how naturally they interacted – walking barefoot in the sand, laughing together, and simply enjoying the moment.

As a photographer, I aim to keep things comfortable and genuine, especially for children. I encouraged them to play, explore, and just be themselves.

The result was a set of candid, warm photos that told a story of connection and joy.

Dinner at Way2Brothers

After the session, I recommended they try a local restaurant nearby called Way2Brothers – a place I personally enjoy and often suggest to my clients.

Located just a few minutes away in San Bartolomé de Tirajana, the restaurant is run by two brothers, Artur and Paweł, who combine their Polish roots with international culinary experience.

The family told me the next day that their dinner was one of the highlights of their trip.

They ordered Rome-style pizzas, including the restaurant’s signature mango pizza, and a set of craft burgers for the kids.

The relaxed, friendly atmosphere made it easy for the children to wind down, and the parents were impressed by the quality and creativity of the food.

This combination – a photo session in the dunes followed by dinner at a cozy local restaurant – turned out to be their favorite evening on the island.

It wasn’t planned as a big event, but sometimes the simple things leave the most lasting impression.

From a photographer’s perspective, it was a reminder that memories aren’t just about the pictures we take, but also the experiences around them – the conversations, the flavors, the sunsets, and the laughter.

If you're planning your stay in Maspalomas, consider combining meaningful experiences.

A photo session and a meal shared with loved ones can create a memory far more valuable than souvenirs.

Can we book a photo session and dinner at Way2Brothers on the same day?

Yes, many visitors to Maspalomas choose to combine a photo session with dinner at Way2Brothers on the same evening — and it works perfectly.

The typical plan is to schedule the photo session with Kate during the golden hour (about 1 hour before sunset), which offers ideal lighting conditions for natural, warm, and flattering portraits. Sessions usually take place at iconic locations like the Maspalomas dunes or near the ocean.

After the session, you can head to Way2Brothers, a nearby restaurant known for its relaxed atmosphere and flavorful dishes, including Rome-style pizzas and gourmet craft burgers. Located just minutes away from the dunes, it's a convenient and satisfying way to finish your day.

This combination is especially popular with couples, families, and honeymooners who want to create meaningful memories in one evening.

What makes the photo sessions with Kate different from other photographers on the island?

Kate has over 10 years of experience in portrait photography and is known for her emotional, story-driven style. She focuses on capturing real connections and genuine moments rather than overly posed or artificial photos.

Her sessions are informal, calm, and personalized, which makes clients feel comfortable — especially children and people who are camera-shy. The natural beauty of Gran Canaria, combined with Kate’s experience and attention to detail, results in images that are not only beautiful but also meaningful.

What also sets her apart is the collaborative approach: Kate takes time to understand each client’s expectations, whether it's a casual vacation session, a romantic engagement shoot, or family portraits.

What kind of food can we expect at Way2Brothers restaurant?

Way2Brothers offers a creative and modern menu with a strong foundation in traditional techniques. Their signature dish is the Rome-style pizza, which features a thin, crispy base and inventive toppings — the most popular being the pizza with mango.

The restaurant also serves handmade burgers, freshly prepared sauces, and uses locally sourced vegetables and ingredients. The result is a dining experience that is both comforting and exciting, appealing to tourists and locals alike.

The owners, Artur and Paweł, bring their international experience from London and Oslo into every dish, blending flavors from different cultures while staying committed to high-quality ingredients.

Is this combination a good idea for special occasions like anniversaries, birthdays, or proposals?

Absolutely. Combining a sunset photo session and a cozy dinner at Way2Brothers creates a memorable and intimate experience that’s ideal for special moments.

• For anniversaries, the evening can start with a couples’ photo session and end with a romantic dinner.

• For proposals, Kate can discreetly photograph the moment in a natural setting, followed by a celebratory meal.

• For birthdays or family gatherings, it offers a great way to document the event with photos and enjoy time together afterward over good food.

Clients often describe this plan as one of the highlights of their trip to Gran Canaria — a day that’s not just enjoyable, but also leaves them with lasting memories and professional photos to take home.

How far is Way2Brothers restaurant from the photo session locations?

Most of the popular photo session spots — such as the Maspalomas dunes, lighthouse, or beach — are within 5 to 10 minutes’ drive from Way2Brothers.

This proximity makes the transition from session to dinner seamless. You can change clothes if needed, or head straight to dinner in the same outfit — many clients do both. Kate can also suggest convenient parking areas and timing tips so you don’t feel rushed between locations.

How do we book both the photo session and the dinner?

The photo session is booked directly through Kate – Photographer in Gran Canaria via her website or social media channels. You can choose the type of session (e.g. couples, family, engagement) and select a date and time that fits your itinerary.

Dinner at Way2Brothers does not require a reservation on most weekdays, but it is recommended — especially on weekends or during holidays. You can call the restaurant directly at +34 611 30 96 64 or drop by after your session.

Kate is also happy to coordinate the schedule and suggest timing so your evening flows naturally.

This allows clients to bring a physical keepsake from their Gran Canaria trip — especially meaningful after such a personalized experience.
