Why choose destination wedding photography in Cafayate?
A Cafayate wedding is small, far away and very beautiful. Guests come up from Salta through the Quebrada de las Conchas or down the Ruta 40, and stay two or three nights in a town of adobe houses and vineyards. The day itself usually happens at a bodega or a wine hotel: a ceremony in a colonial patio or among the vines, a long dinner, dancing under a clear, cold sky. Eight hours of coverage follows it, with portraits at the edge of the vineyard as the hills turn red.
Worth knowing about Cafayate
The Registro Civil de Salta offers, under provincial Ley 7.224 and Decreto 2.055/03, a service for marriages celebrated inside or outside its offices on non-working days and hours. A Saturday civil wedding at a Cafayate bodega uses that service, and the Civil and Commercial Code asks for four witnesses when the ceremony is held outside the office.
