Why choose proposal photography in San Miguel de Allende?
Proposals in San Miguel de Allende tend to follow one of two scripts: a quiet moment somewhere with a view, or a loud one with musicians, which the town is famous for. The photographer is hidden in both, arriving early to pick the angle and the light. A rooftop terrace facing the Parroquia suits either version, because it is private and the towers are in frame at sunset. The canyon garden of El Charco del Ingenio suits only the quiet one.
