Married where
your story began

It's a fair question, and worth answering directly instead of avoiding it. Every region we work in — Jalisco, Riviera Nayarit, San Miguel de Allende, Los Cabos — is a long-established tourist and expat corridor, not the areas driving the news coverage that worries people. In 6+ years photographing weddings across Mexico, we've never had a couple or a guest run into a safety issue beyond the same common-sense precautions you'd take visiting any unfamiliar city.

Each destination experience — Jalisco, Riviera Nayarit/Puerto Vallarta, San Miguel de Allende, and Los Cabos — has its own all-inclusive pricing, from $2,200 USD to $5,400 USD depending on the destination and hours of coverage. Travel is already built into the price you see; there's no separate line item added later.

Yes, through either of two paths. You can legally marry in Mexico via a civil ceremony at the local Registro Civil, recognized back home once apostilled. But most of our couples skip that paperwork entirely — they get legally married at a courthouse in the US before or after the trip, then treat the Mexico wedding as the ceremony that actually matters, with no Mexican civil registry required. We're not immigration attorneys, but we'll walk you through both paths honestly on your planning call and tell you which one fits your situation.

You don't need to. We work in English and Spanish on every call, in the contract, and on the wedding day itself — and we work with venues used to hosting couples from the United States, so nothing gets lost in translation on the day it matters most.

Most Lemus Weddings couples marry in well-established regions — Puerto Vallarta, Riviera Nayarit, Ajijic and Lake Chapala, Guadalajara — that host thousands of American visitors every year, with direct flights and hotel infrastructure built for exactly this. All your guests need is a valid passport; no visa is required for stays under 180 days. Every collection includes a guest logistics guide so your family can plan with confidence before anyone books a flight.

It's a real leap of trust to wire a deposit to someone in another country for the most important day of your life, and we don't expect you to do it blind. Every collection comes with a written contract in English, a fixed delivery date, and a deposit you can pay by card or transfer — the same way you'd pay any US-based vendor. We also do a planning call before your date is confirmed, so you're talking to a real person, not just a website, before any money moves.

Every collection includes a written English-language contract with a fixed delivery date and a clear cancellation and rescheduling policy. A 30% deposit holds your date. We take a limited number of destination weddings each season, confirmed in the order deposits are received.
