Why choose destination wedding photography in San Martín de los Andes?
A wedding in San Martín de los Andes is a mountain-town weekend: guests staying in the cabins and lodges around Lago Lácar, a ceremony in a garden or an estancia on the edge of the forest, and an asado that runs late. The photography covers the whole day without long drives, because the venues, the costanera and the centre are close together. The civil ceremony can be part of the same day.

FAQ — Destination wedding photography in San Martín de los Andes
How much does a civil ceremony at our San Martín de los Andes venue cost?
The Neuquén Registro Civil lists ARS 162,500 for a marriage at the couple's chosen venue without travel, under the provincial tax law 3541, at the time of checking. A San Martín de los Andes wedding with the civil on site therefore budgets that fee, four witnesses and an appointment at least 20 days ahead.
Does a San Martín de los Andes wedding venue allow an outside photographer?
Usually, but each San Martín de los Andes lodge and estancia sets its own rule, and some limit hours or charge a vendor fee. We ask the venue for its current policy in writing when the wedding is booked, together with its timetable for the ceremony and dinner.
