A Colonial Wedding in San Miguel de Allende

Grace and Noah had been dreaming about San Miguel de Allende for years. The cobblestone streets, the centuries-old architecture, the way the whole city feels like it exists slightly outside of time. When it came to choosing a wedding location, nowhere else came close.

We spent the late afternoon moving through the hacienda's interior courtyards as the light filtered through the arched corridors and landed on the stone columns in long warm bands. Elena's ballgown filled every passageway beautifully, the lace detail catching the light in a way that no outdoor location could have replicated. Rafael didn't take his eyes off her for a single moment of it.

San Miguel de Allende is one of the most extraordinary destination wedding locations accessible from Los Angeles, and the colonial architecture here photographs unlike anything in the United States. If you're considering a destination wedding with genuine history and soul, this is a city worth building your entire trip around.
