SOLAYA is a husband-wife team offering integrated photography, videography, and planning for destination weddings, wellness retreats, and transformative experiences in Tulum, Mexico and beyond. SOLAYA | Luxury Wedding Photography, Videography & Planning

We are a boutique photography, videography, and event planning studio specializing in destination weddings, wellness retreats, and transformative

experiences in Tulum, Mexico and beyond. Founded by husband-wife team Vayle and Zack, SOLAYA emerged from our own destination wedding experience in Tulum. We discovered that when artistic documentation and intentional design work in harmony, something magical happens—celebrations become not just beautiful events, but complete sensory experiences that honor each unique story. What Sets Us Apart:
Our integrated approach means we're not just photographers or planners—we're both. Zack's documentary-editorial approach to photography and film captures authentic moments with cinematic sophistication, while Vayle transforms spaces and orchestrates timelines with an artist's attention to detail. Together, we create celebrations where every element works in harmony, ensuring no detail is overlooked and no moment goes uncaptured.

Planning a Tulum wedding from your couch is a different kind of challenge.

Everything looks beautiful online. What you don’t see is how differently each venue actually feels once you’re here…the energy, the privacy, the flow from ceremony to dinner.

We wrote the guide we wish had existed when we started planning ours. 8 venues. Honest takes. Link in bio.🤍

caught between sunlight and still water,
like the moment a memory decides to stay.

the shadows lean in, the light wraps softly,
and everything about her says: this is where I’m meant to be.

if you’ve been waiting for a sign to book the shoot… this is it 🌿✨

She came down those stairs and the whole world went quiet.

Aldea Canzul does something to the light. The white stucco throws shadows that move like water, the palapa filters the afternoon heat into something golden, and the jungle presses in from every side.

There is nowhere to hide from how beautiful it all is. Which means there is nowhere to hide from how you feel.

This bride knew that. She stood on that upper terrace for a moment longer than she needed to, bouquet in hand, veil catching the breeze off the Caribbean. Not composing herself. Just letting it land.

The hugs after were the kind that don’t really end. Her friends holding on, laughing, a little undone. The pale blue and terracotta of their dresses bleeding into the green behind them.

That is what a Tulum wedding looks like when it’s working. Not a backdrop. An environment that pulls something real out of you.

Most couples spend months choosing flowers and forgetting to design how the day actually feels.

We do it differently.

Before we talk vendors or timelines, we want to know your story. How you met. What matters to you. What you want people to feel when they walk in.

The design follows from there and because our planner and filmmaker are the same team, every detail is built to be both beautifully lived and meaningfully captured.

This is how we design weddings in Tulum. Save this if you’re in the planning stage. 🤍

We take a limited number of weddings each year so every couple gets our full attention. If you’re planning a Tulum celebration, send us a message ✨

We work with hospitality brands, restaurants, and retreat properties across the Tulum corridor, creating editorial imagery that earns attention.

The properties we work with in this region understand something that not every brand grasps yet: the quality of your imagery is the first impression, and in a market as visually saturated as Tulum, the difference between a photograph that scrolls past and one that stops someone cold comes down to intention.

The lotus leaf, the silk, the orchid placement. None of it is accidental. We approach brand work the same way we approach a wedding day, with the same care given to light, composition, and the quiet details that make a scene feel alive.

If you’re a hotel, restaurant, or wellness property in Tulum looking to build a visual identity worth investing in, this is the work we do.

Golden light, salt in the air, and a kind of quiet you only find by the ocean.

Tenerife gave us the perfect canvas: raw, windswept, and endlessly romantic.

For couples who feel most at home where the land meets the sea. 🌊✨

Bacalar doesn’t look real from 400 feet up.

We spent a few days at Habitas Bacalar last week, partly to rest, partly to scout, partly because the lake had been on our list since before we moved to Mexico. From above, the water shifts between seven shades of blue and green depending on where the light hits and how deep the lagoon runs beneath you.

It’s about three hours south of Tulum. Long enough that most couples never make it here. Which is exactly why we think it should be on more wedding radars.

The property sits right at the lake’s edge, jungle on all sides, bungalows tucked into the canopy. Ceremonies here would have a completely different quality than anything we’ve worked at in Tulum. Quieter. More remote. The kind of place where your guests actually slow down.

We’re actively building relationships with properties along the Riviera Maya corridor, and Bacalar keeps rising to the top of that list🤍
