Why choose civil wedding photography in Quebrada de Humahuaca?
Purmamarca sits at 2,275 m below the Cerro de los Siete Colores, and with about 300 mm of rain a year, almost all of it in summer, its hills keep their colour for most of the year. That is what decides how a session is planned here: the photographer you work with lives in Quebrada de Humahuaca and works across Jujuy all year, so they are not seeing the place for the first time alongside you. That prior knowledge is the difference between a session that keeps to its schedule and one spent looking for a frame.
The hour matters more than the location. For Purmamarca and the Cerro de los Siete Colores, the window to aim for is early morning, when the sun lights the face of the hill. The session runs 2 hours and is built around that window rather than around your diary — it is the one variable that genuinely changes the photographs, and it costs nothing.
What does the session in Quebrada de Humahuaca look like?
The typical session runs 2 hours across two locations: we start at Purmamarca and the Cerro de los Siete Colores and move on to Paleta del Pintor, Maimará. Two locations rather than one give you two distinct backdrops, and the move between them produces the frames made in motion — frequently the truest of the set.
