Read my San Miguel de Allende Wedding Photography story and one of my favorite photojournalistic experiences! Not to discredit my former client friends’ weddings, but this was simply one of the BEST weddings Brett and I have ever photographed. Jordan and Corey are now our dearest and best friends forever - I cried saying goodbye to them after the wedding, which kind of…never happens. We’re so blessed to be part of every journey - from their engagement to the courthouse ceremony - to the wedding (and beyond), and not only we’re already planning to see each other (they live in Texas, and we’re trying to convince them to move to San Diego! I mean, WHY NOT!), but we also wish to see their loved ones soon again.
Jordan and Corey got married at Casa Hyder in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. They generously invited us to stay with them and their family at Casa Hyder. So we hung out with everyone at their San Miguel wedding for 5 days!
My Beloved Casa Hyder Wedding Photoshoot!
Their gay wedding in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, was planned by the best of the best, Penzi Weddings. Their wedding date was originally in May 2020, but the COVID-19 pandemic had them rescheduled to November 2020, and about 50 people gathered to celebrate and share love. And to be honest, I couldn’t be happier and felt safer in Mexico than in California, as Mexicans were way more cautious and followed rules of caring for others and wearing masks, etc.
Below, here are some of my favorite moments.
