The Arch of Santa Catalina is one of the main points of reference in Antigua Guatemala, where every couple says “I want a photograph in the arch of Antigua Guatemala”.
For that reason, in this blog I will share some great photography ideas in the Antigua Guatemala arch that you and your partner can take.
History of the arch of Antigua Guatemala
Considered a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the iconic Santa Catalina Arch in Antigua Guatemala was originally built as a walkway for the nuns from the Catalinas cloister to move to the annex that was at the other end of the street.
The building has been intervened due to damage caused by earthquakes and the passage of time and it is the journey of damages and repairs that it has undergone, which have made this emblematic monument admired by many generations of Guatemalans and foreigners.
Due to its architectural structure, great beauty and history, it is an emblematic point where many visitors want to take pictures, and clearly this includes beautiful couples about to get married who decide to have their portraits in front of the arch.

For that reason, now I want to share with you 8 fabulous ideas so that you and your partner can take a photograph in the arch of Antigua Guatemala that is spectacular.
1. Holding hands
Holding hands is a classic pose when wanting to photograph a couple, and clearly should be on this list.

5. Blind man bent over by the bride
A great idea of photograph in the arch of Antigua Guatemala is to position the bride behind the groom with the arch decorating her background, where she covers the groom’s eyes just before he sees her, symbolizing the tradition that the groom should not see the bride before the ceremony.
These photos look so heartfelt and moving that projecting them against a background as impressive as the Santa Catalina Arch makes it a work of art and creates truly unique wedding photos.

Hello! I’m Jorge Jarquin …
And I am a professional photographer! I could say that I love watching. The way I photograph is in a very intimate, personal and very authentic way. I am in the constant search to maintain the essence of the feelings and beauty of the wedding day in each image. Each wedding is different, unique and that is why they have a different magic that I love to capture.
For me, wedding photography means creating memories through images that are meaningful to you, beyond just being pretty. It’s what you feel when you see the photos ten years from now and that your skin will turn up again when you see that kiss at the ceremony.
