Mexico Elopement & Wedding Photographer for couples who want it to feel like them
Planning an elopement or wedding in Mexico should feel like you — not like a checklist. I work with couples who want something meaningful, whether it’s just the two of you or a small celebration with up to 50 guests, in locations that feel natural and true to your story.

Planning an elopement in a foreign country can feel overwhelming — a different language, unknown locations, unfamiliar vendors, and paperwork you don’t fully understand. That’s exactly where I come in. I’ve spent years exploring Mexico from the inside, finding the places most people never get to see, and building relationships with the best local vendors. You don’t just get a photographer — you get someone who knows exactly how to make Mexico feel like home for your most important day.
My husband and I decided to renew our vows in La Ventana and wanted someone special to capture such a meaningful moment. I found Mariana on Google and immediately fell in love with her profile. After reaching out, she quickly scheduled a video call with us, and from that moment, I knew she was the perfect fit.
She was incredibly professional, confident, and clearly passionate about her work. She made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera and guided us effortlessly with poses. Her eye for lighting and detail was amazing, and it truly shows in the photos.
There are honestly too many beautiful pictures to post, and I am in love with every single one of them. Mariana captured our special day in the most perfect way, and her work is beyond amazing. We are so grateful and will treasure these memories forever.

"I’m here to make your day feel like an adventure, not a photoshoot."
My approach is built on trust, connection, and genuine support. I’m that friend who always ends up planning the trip. I’ll help you pinpoint the best light, the most private spots, and even jump in to translate with local vendors if you need a hand.
My whole purpose is to make you feel completely comfortable, totally yourselves, so your genuine emotions shine through every single frame. I want you to look back at your photos and not just remember a moment, but feel all the magic, all the adventure, and all the profound love you shared here in Mexico, for years and years to come.

Wedding Photography Packages
I’m not just your photographer — I’m your planning partner. Once you book me, we figure out the rest together: the exact location, the timeline, the vendors, every detail. You don’t need to have any of that figured out before reaching out.
Nine hours of coverage, plus a session the day before.
Imagine walking a quiet dock in Bacalar as the sun sets over turquoise water, or sailing on a velero as the sky turns golden. Exchanging vows in a remote Sierra Oaxaqueña village where time moves differently, or surrounded by towering cacti and mountain views in the desert. A boat tour, a long dinner, all of it documented the way it actually happened.
The day before, we meet, go over every detail, and have a relaxed session together — so by the time your day arrives, everything already feels natural.
Everything that’s included:
- Personalized planning experience — locations, timeline, and every detail built around you
- Customized timeline and curated travel recommendations — must-try activities, top places to visit, and hidden gems only locals know
- Local vendor recommendations — officiants, florists, private chefs, boat tours, and more
- Guidance with permits, licenses, and marriage documentation in Mexico
- Direct access to me via email/whatsap throughout the entire process
- Online gallery with full-resolution images and printing rights

Picture yourselves on a deserted island, or wandering through a colorful Pueblo Mágico with no agenda. Maybe a cenote all to yourselves, or a rooftop overlooking a colonial city as the sun goes down. Six hours gives us room to breathe — unhurried, unscripted, and completely yours.

This session is perfect for engagements, anniversaries, couples getaways, or family vacations. An hour and a half exploring a location that fits your vibe — a beach, a colorful town, a rooftop at sunset — while I capture the moments between the posed ones.

I work with videographers I trust — people whose style and approach to storytelling feels very close to mine. If you’re considering it, just mention it when you reach out and I’ll share examples of their work so you can see if it feels right for you. Super 8 film video is also available for couples who want something truly one of a kind.

Let's talk
We'll hop on a call to get to know each other. You don't need a location, an exact date, or any of it figured out yet — just a general idea of when and roughly where in Mexico. On this call, it's less about logistics and more about making sure we're the right fit. I want to hear your vision, your vibe, and what feels important to you.

Make it official
A signed agreement and a deposit is all it takes to make it official. No date or location needed yet — that's what we figure out together next.
“Mariana is an artist, she has a passion for what she does, and went above and beyond. All I wanted for the wedding was amazing photos and she delivered. Mariana gives clear direction and is a fantastic communicator. I would recommend her for any sort of photos you need. We will likely return in a few years to take family photos. Thank you for everything Mariana and for the extremely fast turn around time on getting the final photos to us. — book Mariana and you will be glad you did!”

Where I Go
I travel anywhere in Mexico for elopements and intimate weddings — including San Miguel de Allende, Tulum, Huatulco, Mexico City, Los Cabos, Puerto Vallarta, Holbox, Yucatán, and beyond. Flights, accommodation, and travel are all included in your package. No extras, no surprises.
Dreaming beyond
Mexico? So am I.
I've traveled through Guatemala, Colombia, and Peru and I'd love to return to any of these places to capture a love story. I haven't made it to Bolivia yet, but it's on my bucket list. If you're planning to elope in Latin America and my style resonates with you, let's talk.
