How to do an elopement in Bariloche

Elopements consist of taking a trip with your partner to some amazing place, like Bariloche, and having a very intimate wedding ceremony there. Some couples usually have a couple of wedding witnesses and a ceremony director, although other couples choose to be alone, in the shelter of the forest and the lake.

Here is an updated guide of steps and tips for coming to get married in Bariloche.

1. Choose the right date

Bariloche is a beautiful place of imposing beauty where the landscape mixes forests, lakes and snowy mountains that seem straight out of a Tolkien story. But you have to know how to choose the right date to organize an elopement, the weather is very different in each season and there are times when it is important to have a plan B.

Our summer from December to February is an ideal time, since the weather is usually pleasant with average temperatures of 20 degrees.

From March to May, autumn begins and the forests are dyed with incredible orange and yellow colors, and perhaps some snowfall.

Winter is the season chosen by many since snow takes over the landscape, but it is important here to have a plan B.

Spring in November December is a great time since the climate is more pleasant and the mountains are still snowy.

2- Have a plan B

Bariloche has a very changeable climate, especially in winter, I advise my couples to schedule an extra date, in case it is necessary to change the wedding day due to the weather.

3 – Choose the Place

Coordinate the place with the photographer, not only thinking about the aesthetics, it is also good that it is comfortable and in accordance with what you want to do. There are couples who have no problem walking 3 hours to reach the top of a hill, but others prefer a place with easy access. It is also important that the place represents them and makes them feel comfortable. In this case, I like to know what they are looking for and help them choose.

5- Choose the right outfit

Ask your photographer what style of clothing he or she recommends for the photos to look nice. It is also important to take the weather into account, the idea is to have a good time and not be cold.
There are beautiful dresses and suits that also serve as a coat.

6- Choose a Celebrant

Some choose a friend or relative, others prefer someone with experience who is dedicated to this, and there are also couples who decide to just say their goodbyes to each other and let the forest and the mountain give them their blessing.

7- Choose witnesses

You can choose some witnesses, although most prefer to do it alone, for me it is always a pleasure to be able to accompany them with my art as a witness in that beautiful and profound moment

8- Extra Suppliers

It is a very intimate and simple moment, but sometimes it is good to accompany it with some extras such as a flower decoration, or a delicious table of sweets to accompany the toast.

FOTÓGRAFO A DESTINO CON BASE EN BARILOCHE

I found in photography a place where I could express my talent, my desire and my magic, at the service of love and of people willing to celebrate as it deserves. I always say that we meet those who vibrate in a similar way.

I want brave people, without fear of going beyond the pre-established. Authentic people who take a chance on their wedding and live it freely in an authentic way. I live in Bariloche, Patagonia Argentina, I am a son of the mountains, but for me and my work, distances never existed, because life is lived like this, putting all the meat on the grill.
