Maffy & Santi: A calenda through Oaxaca

Maffy and Santi live in New York, but they came back to Mexico to get married, and they really wanted their friends to experience Oaxaca with them, not just come here for a wedding.

So on the second day, we took everyone to the streets for their calenda and from there I basically just tried to keep up with them. There was music, mezcal, monos, marmotas, everyone dancing, laughing and jumping in, and I kept moving around trying to catch Maffy and Santi in the middle of all of it without losing everything that was happening around them.

That’s what I loved about photographing this afternoon, we never really had to stop and say “okay, now let’s make a photo.” The photos were already there, I just had to find them.

And I think that was the whole point of bringing everyone to Oaxaca in the first place, to let their people live it with them.

Maffy & Santi, thank you for trusting me to follow you through all that beautiful chaos. I had so much fun photographing this one. 🤍

J&A’s elopement: When the weather has other plans 🌧️

Jeannine and Aarón were right in the middle of their elopement ceremony in Puerto Escondido when a storm suddenly hit. The wind was crazy, the rain was coming down hard, and there we were putting covers on our cameras while I kept taking photos because, well, they were still getting married. 😂
The funny thing is, when you look at the final photos, in some of them you’d never even guess how crazy the weather was. I was going through them afterward and honestly couldn’t be happier with how they turned out.
Definitely not what we expected, but what a day!

Jeannine & Aarón, thank you for trusting me through all of it! 🤍

Proposal of B&E: A morning in front of Santo Domingo

Bryce chose Santo Domingo for their surprise proposal in Oaxaca because faith is such an important part of his relationship with Evelyn. He wanted somewhere meaningful, and I think that made this morning even more special.

We met just as the sun was coming up, with the city still quiet. Bryce got down on one knee, Evelyn said yes, and from there we just enjoyed the morning around Santo Domingo.

I had so much fun playing with the architecture, reflections and morning light, but some of my favorite photographs came from things we never planned. Two dogs joining the frame, birds flying past, and those little moments when Bryce and Evelyn were simply enjoying each other.

That’s what I love about proposal photography in Oaxaca. I can work with the light and composition, but I always leave room for those unexpected moments that make the photographs feel like them.

Bryce & Evelyn, thank you for trusting me to capture your proposal and everything that came after the yes. 🤍

Wedding A&O: The moments in between 🤍

There was a lot happening at Amanda and Óscar’s wedding at Casa Xipe. Friends and family had traveled to Mexico City to celebrate with them, there was a lot of laughter, a little dress malfunction along the way, and so many good moments happening everywhere.
What I loved was that I never really had to look too hard for those moments. They were just happening. While they were getting ready, during the ceremony, in the way their families reacted to the vows, and every time Amanda started laughing, which happened a lot.

Even during their portraits, I wanted to leave room for that. We took some time for photos, of course, but also gave them space to just be together, walk around, laugh, and enjoy those first few minutes after getting married.

And as the day turned into the party, it was more of the same. Friends together, hugs, dancing, people letting loose, and me trying to stay close enough to catch it without getting in the way.

And I think that’s what I’ll remember most about this wedding. Amanda laughing through the nerves, their families’ reactions during the ceremony, friends helping when things didn’t go exactly as planned, and all these little moments happening in between.
Those are the photographs I always come back to.

Amanda & Óscar, thank you for trusting me to be there and photograph your day as it happened. 🤍

Surprise proposal of A&W: her reaction was everything! 💍

Wes reached out to me to plan an engagement session for Alexis in Mazunte. Together, we made a great plan, and then we changed it, and then we changed it again.

It was rainy season, but suddenly the forecast improved a lot, so we decided to risk it and go for sunset instead of sunrise.

When we got to Punta Cometa, it was packed, so our original spot wasn’t going to work, with very little time left, we changed course and found another way to make it happen, all while Alexis had no idea what was actually going on.

And then Wes got down on one knee, and her reaction made every last-minute change worth it.

Thank you for trusting me, and congratulations on your engagement!

From Korea to San Miguel de Allende: sunrise elopement session that felt like cinema. 🇲🇽✨🇰🇷

Part III - and my favorite one: where the tension is gone, emotions flow and the story unfolds.

What made this session so special to me?

When E&P first reached out to me all the way from Seoul, I first thought it was a scam.

A beautiful couple flying across the world…for “natural and joyful photos...on the streets of San Miguel…”?

I’m glad we hopped on a call, because it was beautifully real. Ellen and Paul wanted to blend their own style with the vibrant colors of Mexico. This was their official pre-wedding shoot before their big celebration in Korea this summer.

They also wanted an outfit change mid-session - which meant managing two full wedding outfits. Knowing that would be a challenge solo, I immediately reached out to my amazing assistant Lihue, and he helped us during the session.

We mapped out a customized, relaxed itinerary together with E&P. Sunrise is always the perfect time for a couples photoshoot in San Miguel: the air is fresh, the streets are almost empty, and the light is magical. Best combo!

Because E&P are so playful and love to laugh, almost four hours simply flew by. We chased the morning light through the streets and paused for some mezcalitas at Panio. The couple changed into their second look there, and those drinks definitely helped keep the energy flowing 😜

The result is one of my favorite street elopements of all time: a documentary-style gallery with a touch of creative, artistic shots (I love storytelling but also love experimenting with untraditional techniques).

I’m incredibly happy we managed to capture that real energy, connection, and pure joy between Ellen and Paul. Feeling beyond grateful for couples like you, for your trust and openness. ✨🙏🏼

P&R - Wedding in Mexico City.

One of the most stylish weddings we’ve ever captured, with every detail thought of and highly elaborated: from the table setups to the groom’s vest design.

Put that on top of an incredible loving couple, amazing family and friends, gorgeous locations of Sofitel and Proyectos Públicos Prime, an emotional day and a crazy fiesta + afterparty - and the recipe for “wow” is ready.

Cherry on top? Ch*****ne sabrage by the couple!
(see final photo)

Challenging? Yes. Beautiful, creative and emotional - also yes.

A tiny sneak peek here, much more coming.

Thank you Pau and Ryan for your trust, and to the team of vendors who made it possible:

H&N - beach elopement in Puerto Escondido. 🌅

For this one, Haley & Neil wanted something that would be a bit more than just “hey, we’re on the beach at sunset”. They traveled all the way from Canada to Puerto Escondido, and wanted to make this elopement experience special, intimate and cinematic.

When we connected over the call, it became pretty clear: they wanted the photos to reflect that sunset beauty, but also tell who they are: adventurous and romantic at the same time.

That’s what we created the plan around: starting in the woods and slowly walking out to my favorite epic cliffs, followed by having fun on the beach.

As the light faded, we finished on a slow and dreamy note: lanterns, soft touches and smiles, sunset glow in the background.

Haley & Neil, I’m grateful for couples like you: bold, sincere and loving. Focused more on the experience, on your laughs and tears, on running around and goofing on the beach, on your journey. Thank you for opening up and trusting me to capture those moments. 🙏🏼

Casa Piscina del Cielo (Zihuatanejo) - Part III - interior & exterior photography of this cliffside beauty.

Three days, thousands of shots taken…and one stunning home. A dream to photograph: from sunrise light entering the spaces, to the tiniest design details by regional artisans (from Guadalajara to Mexico City).

The Star of the house - and the reason for its name - is that spectacular pool, with glass floor panels, engineered by Manuel Mojica (the same project manager behind the iconic Grand Canyon Skywalk).

Standing beneath that pool on the “Sunrise deck” felt out of this world (definitely my favorite space of the house).

Photographing the architecture and interiors was a bit of a challenge: the house looks stunning both in the morning and afternoon light. Open spaces flowing into one another and outdoors, ocean views from every corner, details and textures - no wonder the session took 3 days straight.

Designed by Danielle Rios Design Studio (), executed by Zozaya, this project is pure storytelling in architecture.

Congrats to Danielle and her team for creating this gem, and for the publications: Architectural Digest, Beverly Weekly, Forbes - and more to come.

Grateful to work with talented creatives, and share 📸 🙏🏼
