In short

Why choose engagement photos in Guadalajara?
Guadalajara offers an engagement session three different cities to choose from. The arcades of the Hospicio Cabañas and the plazas of the Centro give stone and history, the colourful street of Andador Independencia in Tlaquepaque gives crafts and colour, and the leafy blocks around Avenida Chapultepec give a modern, relaxed look. A 30-minute session takes place in one of the three, because the drive between them takes time; a second setting needs a longer session, quoted in writing before booking. Couples also plan around the afternoon storms if the date falls in the rainy season.
Worth knowing about Guadalajara
Jalisco’s Ley de Filmaciones lists four kinds of work that need no notice or permit on public streets while they block no main road: journalism, student projects, tourist or personal-use recordings, and government work. A paid engagement session is not named on that list, so it stays handheld and moving; anything more is checked with the state agency first.

FAQ — Engagement photos in Guadalajara
Do we need a permit for engagement photos in Guadalajara?
Engagement photos on the streets of Guadalajara are handled under Jalisco’s Ley de Filmaciones, which needs no notice or permit for tourist or personal photography that blocks no main road. A session that stays handheld and moving keeps clear of the permit triggers, which are installed equipment and blocked traffic.
Can our engagement session include the Hospicio Cabañas in Guadalajara?
The Hospicio Cabañas in Guadalajara is the Museo Cabañas, open Tuesday to Sunday from 10 am to 5 pm, so an engagement session there is never on a Monday. The museum publishes no photo-session rate, so ask it for authorisation before planning a session with professional equipment.
