Plan Your San Miguel de Allende Wedding: Vendors, Inspiration, & Expert Advice

We hired Alex as our wedding photographer, and it was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. I can confidently say he was our best vendor, he truly set the bar incredibly high. From the very beginning, he was deeply invested in understanding what we wanted out of our wedding and which moments mattered the most to us. He went above and beyond in ways we didn't even expect, like visiting our hotel ahead of time to get familiar with the lighting and thoughtfully recommended the best spots for the getting-ready and first looks. He also helped us build a minute-by-minute timeline for the day that ensured he could capture every important moment. His level of care, preparation, and attention to detail is truly unmatched. Alex is a true artist with the camera; but what sets him apart even more is how he shows up for his couples and how he makes them feel. In every interaction, it felt that we were with a good friend having fun instead of posing at the camera. Not only did he make us feel completely comfortable , but he also had a way of putting all of our guests at ease. His presence was effortless, and it truly shows in the photos. His work is absolutely stunning, and I am in love with every single image he captured that weekend. I never get tired of recommending him to anyone looking for a photographer. I would hire him again to capture every important moment in our lives.

We cannot say enough good things about Estela, Marcela, and the entire Bougainvillea team. From start to finish we felt at ease and taken care of. The entire wedding planning process was a breeze with this team on our side. From menu tasting, to venue searching, to table scapes, and every little detail leading up to the wedding. They absolutely nailed the designs they created for us and the flowers were to die for. We are still in disbelief that we got to have a wedding like that. Once we arrived in SMA everything was taken care of and we just enjoyed the long weekend with our friends and family. Every single thing went off without a hitch. They even monitored our group throughout the weekend and recommended an increase in our alcohol purchase to ensure we didn’t run out

Desde un principio se sintió una vibra muy bonita con Regina, como si nos hubiéramos conocido desde antes. Mi esposo y yo nos sentimos súper cómodos durante toda la sesión, sin prisas y sobre todo sin pena!… nos gustó mucho que a la vez bromeaba con nosotros y eso hizo que nuestras fotos estuvieran aún más naturales…. También me encanta que se adapta a tu estilo y al tipo de fotos que tú quieras para tu gran día! Las fotos al final salieron hermosas y espontáneas… la recomiendo ampliamente

In planning our last minute elopement in San Miguel ,we came across Fer’s portfolio. After seeing the creativeness and attention to detail in his photos we knew instantly the he was going to be our photographer. Fer was very responsive and made the booking process very easy. Our ceremony was planned early in the morning on Dia De Los Muertos so that we could celebrate the whole day together as a married couple. Fer arrived very promptly and was ready to go from the jump. Being that we wanted a very stress free wedding we left it Fer to use his creativity to document this special day. Being a non traditional ceremony (it was just me and my wife) Fer helped us orchestrate the perfect spot on the rooftop of our Airbnb overlooking the Parroquia de San Miguel Arcángel church. After the ceremony we took to the beautiful calles of San Miguel. Fer made it fun and enjoyable as we strolled through the town taking photos of all the beautiful locations San Miguel has to offer (especially during muertos) It felt Like a family member showing us the town for the first time. We wrapped up with with early afternoon coffee where Fer captured the perfect photo that perfectly encapsulates our relationship. All of our photos came out beautiful and I would highly recommend Fer for all your photography needs.

Terrified of stiff, ackward, corny photos we met Ana and knew it would all work out. She lights up the room: her incredible energy and ligeartedness are contagious and she takes you from nervously posing to enjoying a shoot in a second. As corny as it may sound, Ana captures magic, she makes thousands of memories of the 687 emotions you are too overwhelmed to understand you are going through in a wedding day. Looking through our photos we couldn't believe how she had put on a screen exactly how we felt, the mood of the wedding, and just opening our gallery took us right back. Ana brought tears to our eyes and the most overwhelming joy. Ana came into our lives to stay; we will never trust anyone else to treasure our most important moments and after such an adventure together, we are privileged to call her a friend.
