Here’s what I bring to every wedding I photograph in Puerto Vallarta:
Proven Experience in Destination Weddings
For years, I’ve specialized in photographing weddings throughout Puerto Vallarta and the Riviera Nayarit. From oceanfront ceremonies along Banderas Bay to elegant celebrations in luxury resorts and private villas nestled in the jungle hillsides, I know how to adapt to every location and lighting condition. My familiarity with Vallarta’s tropical light, vibrant colors, and coastal sunsets ensures I can anticipate every detail and capture your day in the most flattering way possible.
Artistry That Blends Editorial and Candid Styles
Your wedding in Puerto Vallarta deserves imagery that feels as vivid and full of life as the destination itself. My style merges the sophistication of editorial photography with the authenticity of documentary storytelling. You’ll receive polished, romantic portraits along with spontaneous, heartfelt moments that reflect the true energy of your celebration. The result is a visual story that feels both elegant and real—just like your connection.
Professionalism You Can Rely On
Planning a destination wedding in Puerto Vallarta involves many moving parts, and having a professional you can trust makes all the difference. I’m reliable, organized, and bilingual in English and Spanish, which ensures 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 detail was handled with care.
A Passion for Creating Timeless Memories
Photography is more than my profession—it’s my passion. I believe your wedding images should be as unforgettable as the sunsets over Banderas Bay. My goal is to create photographs that don’t just show how your day looked, but how it truly felt—the ocean breeze, the laughter, the emotion. Years from now, when you revisit your gallery, you’ll relive the warmth and magic of your Puerto Vallarta celebration.

Puerto Vallarta Wedding Photographer – FAQ
How much does a Puerto Vallarta wedding photographer cost?
The cost of a Puerto Vallarta wedding photographer depends on coverage, experience, and artistic style. On average, couples can expect to invest between $2,000 and $6,000 USD for professional photography in Vallarta. Packages vary depending on whether you need just a few hours for an intimate elopement, a full day of coverage for a traditional wedding, or multi-day coverage for destination celebrations such as rehearsal dinners, welcome parties, or post-wedding sessions.
When choosing a photographer, remember that you’re not only paying for the hours of shooting on the wedding day—you’re investing in years of expertise, professional equipment, editing, and a creative vision that transforms fleeting moments into timeless art. Most couples find that their wedding photographs become their most treasured keepsake, making this one of the most meaningful investments of their entire celebration.
What is included in your Puerto Vallarta wedding photography packages?
My photography packages are designed to reflect the vibrant, romantic atmosphere of weddings in Puerto Vallarta. Each collection includes professional coverage, edited high-resolution images, and a private online gallery so you can download and share your photos easily with friends and family around the world.
Depending on your chosen package, you can also add engagement sessions, extra hours, fine art albums, or multi-day coverage. Many couples want to tell their full story, so I offer photography for rehearsal dinners, sunset welcome parties, or day-after “trash the dress” sessions along Vallarta’s golden beaches and lush jungle backdrops. All packages are fully customizable to match your vision and the flow of your wedding weekend.
Do you photograph elopements in Puerto Vallarta?
Absolutely. I love photographing elopements in Puerto Vallarta. Many couples come here to escape the stress of traditional weddings and exchange vows surrounded by ocean views, tropical gardens, and colorful colonial charm. Whether your ceremony takes place on a secluded beach, in a boutique villa in Conchas Chinas, or overlooking Banderas Bay, I’ll capture both the natural beauty and the authenticity of your connection.
Elopements in Vallarta allow incredible creative freedom. Without the pressure of a strict timeline, we can explore the cobblestone streets, chase golden light on the Malecon, or capture cinematic portraits framed by palm trees and the Pacific horizon. As a Puerto Vallarta wedding photographer, I know the hidden gems and best times of day to create unforgettable imagery bathed in warm coastal light.
Can you also photograph rehearsal dinners or welcome parties?
Yes, definitely. Many destination wedding couples in Puerto Vallarta choose to include coverage for rehearsal dinners, welcome parties, or post-wedding brunches. These events are filled with laughter, heartfelt toasts, and spontaneous moments that tell the story beyond the wedding day. They often capture the true energy of your guests and celebration, adding emotional depth to your wedding collection.
Including these events ensures you preserve the complete atmosphere of your destination experience. Couples often tell me these images become some of their favorites because they reflect the warmth, joy, and meaningful connections shared throughout the weekend.
Do you only work in Puerto Vallarta, or also in nearby areas?
I photograph weddings all across the Bay of Banderas region—including Nuevo Vallarta, Punta Mita, Sayulita, and San Pancho. Each area has its own unique vibe: Puerto Vallarta blends culture and oceanfront glamour, Punta Mita offers exclusivity and elegance, while Sayulita and San Pancho are perfect for couples seeking a more relaxed, bohemian energy.
Should I hire a local vendor instead of bringing someone from abroad?
Hiring a local Puerto Vallarta wedding photographer comes with many advantages. First, a local photographer already understands the light, weather, and scenery of Puerto Vallarta—a region where the jungle, ocean, and mountains meet in constantly changing colors and moods. You’ll benefit from their familiarity with the best golden-hour spots, hidden coves, and the unique challenges of shooting in Vallarta’s humid, tropical climate and dazzling coastal light.
Second, booking someone local helps you avoid additional costs like flights, hotel stays, and travel logistics for a photographer you’d bring from home. It’s not only more cost-effective but also less risky—no worries about flight delays or luggage issues disrupting your photography plans.
Finally, local photographers in Vallarta often have strong relationships with the region’s top venues, planners, and resorts. That means smoother coordination and the confidence of working with someone deeply rooted in the Puerto Vallarta wedding community.
How far in advance should I book my Puerto Vallarta wedding photographer?
It’s best to book your Puerto Vallarta wedding photographer as early as possible—ideally 12 to 18 months in advance. Vallarta is one of Mexico’s most romantic beach destinations, attracting couples from around the world. The best photographers often book up quickly, especially during peak season (November through May).
If your wedding takes place during the warmer, tropical summer months or the quieter rainy season, you may find more availability. Still, I recommend securing your photographer right after booking your venue to ensure you get the artist whose style truly resonates with you.
How many photos will we receive from our Puerto Vallarta wedding?
The number of photos depends on your coverage and wedding timeline. For a full-day celebration in Puerto Vallarta, couples typically receive between 600 and 800 professionally edited images. Elopements or smaller gatherings may result in fewer, while multi-day weddings with welcome dinners or beach parties can easily exceed 1,000 photos.
Each image is carefully edited for consistency, color balance, and timeless appeal. I don’t impose strict limits—I deliver as many photos as needed to tell the complete story of your Puerto Vallarta wedding day.
Do you deliver both color and black & white photos?
Yes. Every photo you receive from your wedding will be delivered in both color and black & white. This gives you two distinct artistic interpretations—one that highlights the lush greens of the Sierra Madre, deep blues of Banderas Bay, and fiery Pacific sunsets, and another that focuses purely on the emotion and connection of the moment.
Black & white photography brings a timeless, cinematic quality to your gallery, while color captures the full vibrancy of Vallarta’s natural beauty. You’ll have both, so you can print or share whichever style resonates most with you.
When will we receive our photos?
I know how eager couples are to relive their wedding day, so I always provide a sneak peek within a few days of the celebration. The full gallery is typically delivered within 6–8 weeks, depending on the season and the scale of your event.
Each image is individually edited to ensure quality and consistency, so I take the time needed to deliver a cohesive, storytelling collection. Once ready, you’ll receive an online gallery to view, download, and share your photos instantly—no waiting for USB drives or physical deliveries.
