Why choose elopement photography in San Martín de los Andes?
An elopement in San Martín de los Andes can be both small and legal. The town has its own Registro Civil office, so two people and two witnesses can sign in the morning and spend the rest of the day on the lake and in the forest. The portraits move from the registry steps to the costanera and out to a quiet beach of Lago Lácar, with no guests to wait for.
