Proven Experience in Destination and Cultural Weddings
For years, I’ve specialized in capturing weddings across Oaxaca and other parts of Mexico. From intimate ceremonies in historic courtyards and colonial churches to vibrant celebrations surrounded by mountains and mezcal fields, I know how to adapt to every setting and lighting condition.

Having a professional you can trust makes all the difference. I’m reliable, organized, and bilingual in English and Spanish, ensuring smooth communication whether you’re planning from abroad or already in Mexico. Couples often tell me they felt calm and supported throughout their day because they knew every moment was being handled with care.

Photography is more than my profession—it’s my passion. I believe your wedding images should reflect the magic of Oaxaca—the vibrant colors, colonial architecture, and heartfelt traditions.

Oaxaca Wedding Photographer – FAQ
How much does a Oaxaca wedding photographer cost?
The cost of a Oaxaca wedding photographer varies depending on coverage, experience, and artistic approach. On average, couples can expect to invest between $1,800 and $5,000 USD for professional wedding photography in Oaxaca. Packages differ depending on whether you need a few hours for an intimate elopement, full-day coverage for a traditional wedding, or multi-day coverage for destination celebrations that include welcome dinners, cultural experiences, or post-wedding sessions.
When choosing a photographer, remember you’re investing not just in the hours spent shooting, but also in years of expertise, professional equipment, and an artistic eye that captures Oaxaca’s essence—its colors, textures, and emotion. Your wedding photographs will become the most meaningful keepsake of your celebration, preserving the atmosphere and beauty of this extraordinary destination.
What is included in your Oaxaca wedding photography packages?
My wedding photography packages are thoughtfully designed to reflect the vibrant spirit and timeless beauty of Oaxaca. Each package includes professional coverage, carefully edited high-resolution images, and a private online gallery so you can easily share your photos with family and friends anywhere in the world.
Depending on your chosen package, you can add engagement sessions, extra hours, fine art albums, or multi-day coverage. Many couples choose to include events like mezcal tastings, calendas (traditional parades), or day-after sessions in Oaxaca’s colonial streets or surrounding villages. All collections are customizable to fit your vision and the rhythm of your celebration.
Do you photograph elopements in Oaxaca?
Absolutely. Oaxaca is one of the most enchanting places in Mexico for an elopement. Couples often come here for its intimate charm, rich culture, and breathtaking backdrops—from the cobblestone streets and colorful facades of the historic center to the mountains and sacred sites just outside the city.
Elopements in Oaxaca offer incredible creative freedom. Without a tight schedule, we can wander through artisan markets, explore hidden courtyards, or capture sunset portraits overlooking the Sierra Madre. As a Oaxaca wedding photographer, I know the best times of day and the most picturesque spots to create cinematic, meaningful images that reflect your connection and Oaxaca’s magic.
Can you also photograph rehearsal dinners or welcome parties?
Yes, definitely. Many couples hosting destination weddings in Oaxaca choose to include photography for welcome dinners, mezcal tastings, or pre-wedding fiestas. These moments—filled with music, laughter, and heartfelt toasts—capture the warmth and cultural richness that make Oaxaca weddings so unique.
Including these events in your photography coverage ensures that you preserve the full story of your celebration. Often, these candid images become the couple’s favorites, because they showcase the joy and authentic moments shared with loved ones throughout the festivities.
Do you only work in Oaxaca City, or also in the surrounding areas?
I photograph weddings throughout Oaxaca City, Monte Albán, Hierve el Agua, Mitla, and the coastal areas like Puerto Escondido and Huatulco. Each location offers its own kind of beauty: Oaxaca City is artistic and historic, the valleys and mountains are filled with natural serenity, and the coast is perfect for couples seeking an intimate beach celebration.
Should I hire a local vendor instead of bringing someone from abroad?
Hiring a local Oaxaca wedding photographer comes with many advantages. First, a local photographer already understands the light, weather, and colors of Oaxaca—a region known for its golden sunsets, colonial textures, and vibrant mix of culture and nature. You’ll benefit from their familiarity with the best angles and times for photos in places like the cobblestone streets of Centro Histórico, the ethereal light of Hierve el Agua, or the rustic charm of the surrounding valleys and agave fields.
Second, booking someone local helps you avoid extra costs like flights, accommodation, and travel logistics for a photographer you’d bring from elsewhere. It’s not only more cost-effective but also more reliable—no concerns about travel delays or missing equipment affecting your photography timeline.
Finally, local photographers in Oaxaca often have strong relationships with top venues, planners, and artisans. That means smoother coordination and the assurance of working with someone deeply connected to the Oaxacan wedding community—people who know the traditions, landscapes, and rhythms of the region inside and out.
How far in advance should I book my Oaxaca wedding photographer?
It’s best to book your Oaxaca wedding photographer as early as possible—ideally 12 to 18 months in advance. Oaxaca has become one of Mexico’s most romantic and sought-after destinations for weddings, with couples drawn to its colonial architecture, mezcal culture, and artistic soul. Top photographers often fill their calendars quickly, especially during the dry and festive months (November through May).
If your wedding is planned during the quieter summer or rainy season, you may find more availability. Still, I recommend confirming your photographer soon after booking your venue so you can secure the artist whose vision best aligns with yours.
How many photos will we receive from our Oaxaca wedding?
The number of photos depends on your coverage and event size. For a full-day wedding celebration in Oaxaca, couples typically receive between 600 and 800 professionally edited images. Smaller elopements or intimate gatherings may yield fewer, while multi-day celebrations with welcome dinners or cultural experiences can easily exceed 1,000 photos.
Each image is carefully edited for tone, warmth, and authenticity. I don’t set strict limits—I deliver as many photographs as needed to tell the complete story of your Oaxaca wedding day.
Do you deliver both color and black & white photos?
Yes. Every photo from your wedding will be delivered in both color and black & white. This gives you two complementary artistic versions—one that celebrates the rich colors of Oaxaca’s textiles, architecture, and landscapes, and another that focuses on emotion, expression, and timeless storytelling.
Black & white photography brings an elegant, documentary feel to your gallery, while color captures the full vibrancy and texture that make Oaxaca so unforgettable. You’ll receive both, so you can choose what best reflects your memories.
When will we receive our photos?
I know how meaningful it is to relive your wedding day, so I always provide a sneak peek within a few days of the celebration. The full gallery is typically ready within 6–8 weeks, depending on the season and the scope of your event.
Each photograph is edited individually to preserve quality and narrative flow. Once complete, you’ll receive a private online gallery to view, download, and share your images instantly—no waiting for shipments or USB drives, just pure Oaxaca magic at your fingertips.
