Planning Guide ## Guadalajara wedding *logistics*, at a glance Guadalajara is easy to reach: the international airport (GDL) has nonstop flights from several US hubs, and the metro's wedding areas sit roughly 20 to 60 minutes from each other. Most couples marry between November and April, when the weather is driest. | Airport | Guadalajara International (GDL), south of the city. Typically 30 to 45 minutes by car to the center or Zapopan. Check current nonstop routes. | |---|---| | Around the metro | Centro to Tlaquepaque is usually 20 to 30 minutes; to Zapopan 20 to 40; to Tlajomulco 30 to 60. | | Best months | November to April is dry and mild. March to May gets warmer. Rain runs roughly June to September, often late in the day, so plan an indoor backup. Sunset is roughly 6:00 pm in winter and 8:15 pm in late June. | Where To Say I Do ## Church, casona, hacienda: *how each one photographs* In Guadalajara the ceremony setting decides the photography plan. Churches call for discretion and low-light skill, casonas and haciendas give you courtyards and open shade, and garden venues need a plan for midday sun. Quique scouts the setting and the timeline with you before the wedding. ### Church ceremonies Catholic weddings are common in Guadalajara. Each parish has its own rules for photographers, so Quique confirms them in advance and works quietly from the sides. [What to expect](https://lemusweddings.com/en/blog/catholic-wedding-in-mexico-what-to-expect). ### Casonas in Tlaquepaque & Zapopan Restored colonial houses with stone courtyards, tiled fountains and soft open shade. Good for portraits at any hour. [Venue guide](https://lemusweddings.com/en/blog/wedding-venues-guadalajara-mexico). ### Haciendas & garden venues Larger estates and gardens on the edge of the metro, with room for the whole family and long dinners under string lights. Often in Tlajomulco and beyond. ## Weddings photographed in Guadalajara Real weddings from the Guadalajara area, never stock. ![Couple's kiss during a ceremony in Guadalajara](https://lemusweddings.com/beso-novios-ceremonia-guadalajara-lemus-weddings.jpg) ![Wedding reception in Guadalajara](https://lemusweddings.com/recepcion-boda-guadalajara-lemus-weddings.jpg) ![Wedding at a hacienda near Guadalajara](https://lemusweddings.com/LW-137.jpg) ![Civil wedding ceremony in Guadalajara](https://lemusweddings.com/ceremonia-civil-boda-guadalajara-lemus-weddings.jpg) More in the [full portfolio](https://lemusweddings.com/en/portfolio).
