The Best Season for a Bogota Elopement
An Andean capital with no summer and no winter, only drier and wetter months. At 2,640 metres, Bogota's seasons are about the rain, not the temperature.
You plan a Colombia elopement around escaping winter.
Bogota does not have a winter, or a summer.
At 2,640 metres, Bogota's seasons are about the rain, not the temperature. It is cool and spring-like every month, and the drier windows are what you plan around.

December through March, and again in July and August, are the driest months: more reliable clear mornings, better light on the colonial facades, and the best odds for the elevated Monserrate views. These are the windows I aim for.
The drier windows
December through March, and again in July and August, are the driest months: more reliable clear mornings, better light on the colonial facades, and the best odds for the elevated Monserrate views. These are the windows I aim for.
The wetter months, and the constant
April to May and October to November are the wettest, with afternoon rain the norm, though the mornings can still be clear and the wet cobblestone photographs beautifully. The constant across all of it is the cool Andean air, around fourteen degrees, so the styling stays the same year-round.
Pick the window for the light you want, then hand me the date. As your Elopement Curator I track the conditions, plan around the dry mornings, coordinate the notaria and vendors, and both shoot and film it. Twelve years and 240+ couples in, Bogota's season is about rain, and I plan the day around it.
