Testimonials

"Our workshop in San Miguel, Mexico, during Holy Week was one of my photo and travel highlights of the decade. The team of Nels and Anna Akerlund provided a perfectly orchestrated photo adventure with the very helpful abilities of speaking the local language, plus knowing where to go and when. We look forward to another workshop with them as they are talented, prepared and fun to be with."

"If you only take one photo workshop you must take the San Miguel de Allende workshop with Nels Akerlund Photography. You will not be disappointed.

Traveling to San Miguel was one of those trips of a lifetime. Nels Akerlund Photography (Nels & Anna) planned every detail to perfection. The welcome packet that we received upon registration answered most questions regarding camera equipment needs, maps, itinerary, brief history of the area, packing suggestions and more. If that didn't answer my questions, Nels & Anna were always available to answer additional questions. I felt very prepared for the trip.

San Miguel is a magical, charming town. It's old-world architecture mixed with the colorful Mexican culture offers photo opportunities at every turn of your head. It is a photographer's dream town...Whether we were going to be photographing a grand processional in the downtown square, or an evening candlelight service and processional, NAP guided us on how to position ourselves to get the best photos...It was clear that NAP wanted their students to learn and succeed, but at the same time enjoy the unique and fun culture that is San Miguel.

The accommodations were perfect. Casa Luna is like stepping into a villa of days gone by. It offers old-world style with modern day comfort. The homemade Mexican breakfasts were scrumptious and still linger on my taste buds.

Nels and Anna are the perfect team to host a photo workshop. They are true professionals who aren't afraid to share their knowledge. Students’ growth and success is their number one priority. Besides that, they are an adorable couple whose zest for life is contagious. The Akerlund SMdA workshop is a trip not to be missed."
