Why choose trash the dress session in Guadalajara?
The capital of Jalisco, where July averages 212 mm of rain and March barely 4 mm, and the agave fields of Tequila are a day trip away. That is what decides how a session is planned here: the photographer you work with lives in Guadalajara and works across Jalisco all year, so they are not seeing the place for the first time alongside you. That prior knowledge is the difference between a session that keeps to its schedule and one spent looking for a frame.
The hour matters more than the location. For Hospicio Cabañas (Museo Cabañas), the window to aim for is tuesday to Sunday, from the 10 am opening. The session runs 2 hours and is built around that window rather than around your diary — it is the one variable that genuinely changes the photographs, and it costs nothing.
What does the session in Guadalajara look like?
The typical session runs 2 hours across two locations: we start at Hospicio Cabañas (Museo Cabañas) and move on to Catedral, Plaza de Armas and Plaza Liberación. Two locations rather than one give you two distinct backdrops, and the move between them produces the frames made in motion — frequently the truest of the set.
