Because every couple has a story.
Let's hear yours.

Thanks for getting this far. Whatever happens next, I'll treat your day with the care it deserves — that's the whole point of doing this.

Nine questions, two minutes. Pour a glass of wine, sit down together, and answer them the way you'd say them out loud — I'd rather read something true than something tidy.

Before you ask

What does it cost?

Wedding collections run from $3,900 to $6,500 USD, plus tax. The middle is where most couples land: a full day, two photographers, and everything that comes back afterwards. Photography with cinema is its own collection, and smaller, quieter weddings I quote on their own. Every proposal is built around your real weekend, so the number comes after we talk.

What are the collections?

Four, and they differ mostly in how long I stay with you. First Light is four hours, one photographer, 500 edited images. The Wild One is six hours with two photographers and 700 images — where most couples land. The In-Between is seven, and The Whole Damn Thing is eight, from getting ready to the last song, with 1,000 images. Every one of them includes 36 frames on real film and a love session before the wedding day. The brochure has the rest — ask and I'll send it.

What's included in every collection?

Hours of coverage that match your day, the edited gallery, 36 frames on real film, and a love session with the two of you before the wedding. Every collection but the shortest has two photographers; First Light has one. The seven- and eight-hour collections also carry two complimentary hours of welcome party coverage, and a printed gift signed by hand that arrives at your home ninety days after the wedding.

When do we get our photographs?

A sneak peek within 72 hours of the wedding, while you're still living it. The full gallery comes back within 30 business days. If you booked video, the Instagram reel lands at 30 days and the cinematic film within 90 — film takes longer because it's cut, not exported. All of it is written in your contract, so nobody is guessing.

How many images do we get?

Between 500 and 1,000 edited images, depending on the collection: 500 with First Light, 700 with The Wild One, 850 with The In-Between, 1,000 with The Whole Damn Thing. Plus 36 frames on film in every one. Your proposal states the number.

How does payment work?

A booking fee saves your date, and the rest we split in a way that works for you. I'm flexible on this — tell me what your timing looks like and we'll build the schedule together. Nothing about it is take-it-or-leave-it.

Is tax included in the prices?

Prices are quoted in US dollars before Mexican sales tax, which is 16%. Your proposal shows the total with tax on it, so there's no surprise at signature.

Can we talk before deciding?

That's the part I care about most. Twenty minutes on a video call, no pitch: you tell me what you picture, I tell you straight if I'm the photographer for your day. If I'm not, I'll tell you who is.

Do you travel?

I work where love takes me. I've photographed across Mexico, the United States and Latin America, and further when the day is worth the flight. Travel isn't a line on a price list — it's part of our conversation, and we sort it out together before anything gets signed.

How many days do you stay at the destination?

A day early, minimum. I want to stand where you'll stand, at the hour you'll stand there, before any of it matters.

What if it rains, or the wind picks up?

We agree on a plan B with your planner beforehand. Baja wind is predictable by hour and by season — so it gets planned, not improvised. And honestly, some of my favourite frames happened because the weather misbehaved.

Do I need permits at the venue?

Some venues and beaches in Los Cabos require them. I'll tell you which the moment I know the place.

Do you shoot 35mm film?

Yes — 36 frames on real film at every wedding, alongside the digital. They come back in the gallery together.

Do you shoot video too?

I do. Photography and cinematic video are both mine — same eye, same day, one conversation. Daniel and I shoot and cut every video ourselves, so the stills and the film come back looking like they came from the same wedding, because they did.

What does video cost?

Video on its own runs $5,000 to $8,200 USD plus tax, by hours of coverage. Photography and video together is $7,800 to $13,200 — two photographers and two videographers, one team, one conversation. Booking them together costs less than booking them apart, and your photos and your film actually end up looking like the same wedding.

Do you do content creation — the phone-shot, same-week kind?

Unscripted Love, yes. Two content creators with you through the day, raw footage in your hands within 24 hours, and edited reels a few days later. Three sizes, from $1,000 to $1,800 USD plus tax. It doesn't replace the photographs — it's what you post while you wait for them.

Can we do a session before the wedding?

Please. A Save the Date session is $700 USD plus tax: a couple of hours, an online gallery, no watermarks. It's also the easiest way for us to get comfortable with each other before the day that matters.

What if we need more hours, or the welcome party covered?

Everything is buildable. An extra hour of photography is $700, an extra hour of video $800, an extra hour of content creator $100, welcome dinner or party coverage $650 an hour, standalone drone photography $550. All plus tax, all added to your proposal before you sign, never after.

How long do we keep the gallery?

Your private gallery stays online for three years, and you can download everything in full resolution from day one. Don't wait three years — but you have them.

Can we get the RAW files?

You can, for $1,000 USD plus tax. I'll be honest that almost nobody needs them: the edit is where the photographs become what you saw in your head. But if you want the negatives, they're yours.

Can we print and post the photographs?

Print them, frame them, post them, send them to every relative you have. They're yours to use and share personally. I keep the right to show the work in my portfolio and on social — and if there's anything you'd rather I never post, tell me and I won't.

Will I meet you before the wedding?

Please. If you're coming to Cabo before the day, let's walk your venue and get a drink. Knowing each other first makes better photographs — it's not a nice-to-have. And a video call works from anywhere, so there's no excuse.

Do you photograph elopements and small weddings?

Yes, and they're some of my favourite days. Smaller, quieter weddings I quote on their own — there's no collection to squeeze you into.

Do you work in Spanish and English?

Both, all day. Your family can be from Guadalajara and from Texas and nobody will feel like a guest at your own wedding.

Or ask the concierge

The concierge in the corner answers the moment you ask — how the process works, what's included, when your photographs come back — and books a call straight into my calendar. Anything that needs my own eyes on it comes to me, and I answer within 48 hours.
