Why choose destination wedding photography in Todos Santos?
A Todos Santos wedding is the Baja wedding for couples who do not want a resort: a ceremony on an open Pacific beach or in the garden of a boutique hotel in town, dinner under string lights, and a sunset that drops straight into the sea. That freedom comes with a planning load the Corridor resorts carry for you. There is no hotel wedding office between the couple and the municipality, so the photographer’s timeline is built alongside a permit, an ambulance and a security quote.
