What if I’m not sure how many hours we need?
That is normal. Once I know your timeline, venue and priorities, I will recommend what makes sense. Focused Day keeps the photography around the heart of the celebration; Full Day gives the day more room to unfold naturally. If the celebration extends into another event or another day, I will shape it as a Wedding Weekend.
Can a collection be adjusted to our wedding?
Yes, and most are. The collections are where I begin, not a menu: the hours, the events, the size of the team and what you want documented all move with the celebration. Some weddings need an extra hour, a second photographer or a rehearsal dinner covered; others need less than a full day. The Wedding Weekend is not even priced as a collection - it is the total hours of coverage, spread across however many days. Tell me what your day actually looks like and I will shape the coverage around it rather than ask you to fit into one of these.
What is the difference between a collection and the Wedding Weekend Experience?
Collections are wedding day starting points, in photography or photography and film. A Wedding Weekend begins when the coverage extends into at least one additional event on another day, and can grow from a rehearsal dinner and the wedding into a full multi-day celebration with photography, film and an expanded creative team.
Do you offer a content creator?
Yes, and it is one of the most requested additions. A content creator works alongside the photography and film team capturing short-form, phone-shot video and behind-the-scenes moments, delivered within days so you can share the celebration while it is still fresh. It can be added to any collection or to the Wedding Weekend Experience.
Can we add another event later?
Yes. Welcome events, after-parties and additional coverage can be added as the weekend takes shape. If it grows into more than one day, I will suggest approaching it as a Wedding Weekend Experience.
Do you travel?
Cancun, Riviera Maya, Playa Mujeres and Tulum are home. Transportation, when it applies, is confirmed with your collection based on the venue. For Los Cabos, Puerto Vallarta, the rest of Mexico or abroad, travel is quoted separately and I am glad to go.
What about the venue’s outside vendor fee?
Most resorts charge an outside vendor fee or require a day pass for external photographers. The resort sets it and charges it, not me, and they change it often, so treat any figure you find as an approximate reference. Ask your wedding coordinator at the hotel to confirm the amount for your date in writing, and ask whether there is any flexibility: some hotels waive or reduce it. Once it is settled, I handle the logistics with your planner.
How do we book?
A signed agreement and a 30% retainer (plus tax) hold your date exclusively. The remaining balance is due as set out in your agreement.
What if we need to move or cancel the date?
The retainer is non-refundable because I turn away other weddings for your date. If you need to move it, tell me as early as you can: if the new date is open I move everything with you.
When do we get our photos?
You will see a set of sneak peeks within the first week, so you are not waiting to see anything. Your full high-resolution gallery is delivered digitally, with final retouched photographs within about 45 business days after you make your proof selections. The sooner you pick, the sooner retouching starts.
What happens if it rains?
Rain moves the ceremony, it does not cancel the photographs. Resorts here have covered alternatives and your planner will have a plan B. I work with it, and some of the best frames come from the light right after a storm.
How much does a wedding photographer cost in Cancun or Tulum?
Experienced destination wedding photographers in Riviera Maya generally range from $3,000 to $8,000 USD for the wedding day, and considerably more for multi-day celebrations with film. My collections sit within that range; the Wedding Weekend Experience is designed around the celebration.
