Frequently Asked Questions

We are based in Colombia and photograph weddings frequently in Cartagena, Medellín, Bogotá, and the Coffee Region. We travel worldwide for destination celebrations, handling all logistical details seamlessly.

Couples usually secure their wedding date 8 to 18 months in advance, especially for popular weekend dates in Cartagena and the Coffee Region during high season.

As an experienced destination wedding photographer in Colombia, John Palacio captures timeless stories across historical walls, tropical valleys, and vibrant cityscapes.

To reserve your date on John's calendar, we require a signed digital agreement and an initial retainer payment. Once completed, your date is exclusively yours.

Coverage & Editorial Vision

Do you work with a second photographer?

How many hours of coverage do we need?

Yes. Our signature approach includes two main photographers to capture multi-angle documentary moments, preparation details, and guest perspectives simultaneously.

Most luxury destination weddings benefit from 8 to 12 hours of coverage. We assist in crafting tailored timelines alongside your wedding planner for seamless flow.

Do you offer engagement or welcome sessions?
