Hola! Welcome to my Destination Wedding Photography Blog!

***Note on availability and packages: TTD and engagement photo sessions are offered only as part of a wedding day coverage package. Please note that we are specialized exclusively in wedding photography and are unable to offer family, maternity, anniversary or other types of photo sessions. Wedding day photography packages begin with six hour wedding day coverage and all packages include the full set of edited digital images on disk. Photographing each of our client’s events personally, we love getting to know our clients on an individual basis are devoted to providing unmatched levels of service and artistry. For this reason a limited number of commissions are available each year, dates are limited and often reserved early. ****

I am a firm believer that wedding photography is not about ME, the photographer, but absolutely about YOU… the bride and groom and your very unique special day! My approach to imagery should be clear in each and every post…. so if you prefer to skip over this “about” section and head straight for the images feel free! I won’t mind one bit!

Just in case anyone is wondering about the person behind the lens here is a bit of background. A US native who has lived most of her adult life in Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula, I speak both Spanish and English fluently and also feel equally at home in both cultures. Love brought me to Mexico and I became a photographer because of my love of art, people (especially children) and nature and have shown my fine art photography in galleries and museums (for the photo geeks Polaroid transfer, fiber based black and white printing and Cibachrome are some of my favorite techniques).

After owning and operating a busy portrait studio for four years I realized I had an overflowing schedule of both portraits and weddings. With no interest in being responsible for employee photographers or “growing” my business, I took a deep breath and made the difficult decision to dedicate my focus to wedding photojournalism and my family.  After all, what could be better than photographing love as a full time job? Three years later and with Lindsey and Lauren on board the team I could not be happier with the choice! I know you will understand why when you scroll through this blog and meet the interesting, admirable and absolutely in-love couples I have had the opportunity to photograph. That I am able to do so in some of the most unique and beautiful locations imaginable throughout Mexico is icing on the cake. I photograph love, promise, joy, emotion, beauty, happiness, family ties, and crazy celebrating. Could there be any better subjects?

So please look through the brand new blog and website (please don’t miss the main site’s showcase and featured weddings section with some of my all time favorite images). And one hint…the blog is categorized by location and type of weddings, so if you are interested in seeing weddings at a particular venue or getting ideas about beach weddings, hacienda weddings or trash the dress sessions please check out the archives section!

Best Wishes!
