With 19 years photographing over 800 weddings across Cancun and the Riviera Maya, I've built my life's work around one belief: love looks good on everyone. My approach is documentary and emotionally driven. I don't pose moments, I protect them. I often work alongside my sister Citlalli, and together we create a space where every couple feels safe, seen, and free to be themselves. As a proud member of the LGBTQ+ community, inclusivity isn't a marketing line for me, it's personal. Whether it's a barefoot beach ceremony at sunrise or a grand celebration at sunset, I'm here to tell your story the way it actually felt. If you're looking for a photographer who truly gets it, let's talk.

Where are you located? Do you charge a travel fee for weddings not in your location?

I'm based in Cancun, Mexico, and I photograph weddings throughout the Riviera Maya, including Playa del Carmen, Tulum, Isla Mujeres, and Puerto Morelos. No travel fee within this region. For destination weddings outside the area, travel costs are quoted on a case-by-case basis.

How long have you been in business? How many weddings have you photographed as the main photographer?

19 years and counting. I've photographed over 800 weddings, and around 100 as the main photographer across Cancun and the Riviera Maya.

Describe your "style" of wedding photography.

Documentary and emotionally driven. I focus on real moments, raw emotions, and the connection between people. No stiff posing, no forced smiles. I use natural light, especially the golden tones of Caribbean sunrises and sunsets, to create images that feel warm, intimate, and true to each couple's story.

What's the typical wedding coverage package that you offer? What is the price?

My packages are tailored to each couple's needs and timeline. Coverage typically ranges from engagement sessions and elopements to full-day wedding documentation. 8 hour package start at 3400 USD

Do you have a studio where we can meet in-person?

I don't have a traditional studio, but I'm always happy to connect over a video call or meet in person if you're already in Cancun. Most of my clients are international couples planning from abroad, so virtual consultations are a natural part of my process.

Is there anything else you'd like to share about yourself?

I photograph all couples with the same passion and respect, and I'm especially proud to be a safe space for LGBTQ+ couples celebrating their love in Mexico. When you book with me, you're not just getting a photographer. You're getting someone who genuinely cares about your experience from the first message to the final gallery.
