A Destination Wedding at Anzan Atitlán, Guatemala
There are weddings, and then there are experiences that shift something inside you. Anzan Atitlán is that kind of property. Tucked along the shores of Lake Atitlán, this private lakeside venue offers couples something extraordinary. The architecturally stunning sanctuary of Anzan is more than just a destination wedding venue in Guatemala—it's a layered experience of place, presence, and purpose.
Recently, we had the opportunity to document Annie and Wes's wedding at Anzan and immediately fell in love with the experience of capturing love stories at this artistically curated property. Renowned for its iconic Casa Rosada façade, Anzan harmoniously combines modern minimalism with soulful design. Every space—both indoors and outdoors—has been thoughtfully designed and constructed using local sustainable materials, transforming each area into a living piece of art.
Anzan doesn’t host traditional, one-size-fits-all events. Each celebration is deeply personal, design-forward, and spirited. This is the kind of wedding our couples are always seeking: an intentional experience rooted in artistry and authenticity. A setting where clean architectural lines meet ancestral presence, and beauty is something you feel as much as you see.
Every wedding at Anzan’s architectural wedding venue Lake Atitlán is uniquely designed to reflect your love story. And we at Joseph Nance Photography approach each moment with our signature cinematic style, blending fine art with genuine emotion. From aerial arrivals via private helicopter to intimate rooftop portraits at dusk, your memories will be framed not only by the breathtaking landscape but also by timeless imagery.
Annie and Wes | Anzan Atitlán 2023
Take Annie and Wes’s wedding, for example. We had the honor of being their photographer on Lake Atitlán and their intimate wedding fully embraced the energy of the space. Because Anzan Atitlán doesn’t just offer a venue, it invites you to slow down, be present, and create something lasting. It’s for couples seeking more than a wedding. For those who value design, soul, and the sacred, this is it.
