Whether you’re planning a wedding in your home country or you’re jetting off to Mexico for a destination wedding, one of the most important aspects of wedding planning is finding a wedding photographer. This can be especially difficult when you’re hundreds of miles away. Thanks to social media (and things like Junebug’s highly-vetted vendor directory), seeing a photographer’s portfolio is easier than ever. So, if you’re looking for your dream photographer, you’re in luck. We’re rounding up some of the best Mexico wedding photographers to help capture your special day.

Best Mexico Wedding Photographers

1. Fer Juaristi

Photography Style: Outside-the-box photojournalistic

Good for: Couples who want to break the rules

Review: “We were lucky to have Fer and his second shooter (Mike) as our wedding photographers for our three-day multicultural celebration in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. From the moment we saw his work, we knew he had a unique talent that is very difficult to match. One thing that struck us from the very beginning is that he approaches every wedding as an experiment, aiming to create something novel. We wanted someone who would have the passion and the skills to capture the essence of the day in a way that is utterly distinct and personal. Fer has the ability to create something extraordinary out of nothing. He can really transform simple moments with usual backgrounds into stunning works of art. Throughout our wedding festivities, he seemed to be everywhere and nowhere at once, effortlessly capturing every precious detail without ever being intrusive. It feels like he possesses an ability to anticipate the perfect shot before it even happens.”

2. MC Weddings

Photography Style: Timeless editorial

Good for: Couples who want beautiful photography AND videography

Review: “It’s hard to put into words how much MC Weddings means to us! From the moment I spoke with them, I knew they would be a great fit. They went above and beyond, scouting gorgeous locations, accommodating our schedule, and giving us the most amazing gift of photos we will cherish forever.”

3. Andres Mondragon

Photography Style: Documentary style with an editorial approach

Good for: Couples who want natural, unposed wedding photos

4. Julieta Rabadan

Photography Style: Creative editorial

Good for: Couples who want the little moments captured

Review: “If I could imagine the perfect photographer, Julieta would be even better. Her artistic vision is incredible, and she makes you feel so comfortable. She knows exactly how to capture the perfect images and is soooo sweet. I highly suggest hiring her and Fede; having her photograph one half of the bridal party while he works with the other was perfect! When we got our sneak peeks, my husband and I both started crying… imagine your dream wedding photos, and they will be even better!”

5. Arte Visual MF

Photography Style: Emotional editorial

Good for: Couples who want to feel every emotion possible while flipping through their wedding album

Review: “Sebastián and the Visual Art team really knew how to capture the best day of our lives. Their professionalism and dedication are evident in the quality of the work they delivered to us. Sebastian listened to everything I told him that he wanted, and he was always available to talk about ideas and make sure we were happy with the work. Super punctual, with an excellent attitude and excellent work, I highly recommend them. The photos and videos will last a lifetime, I really recommend them!”

6. Tulum Wedding Photos

Her attention to detail and capturing moments is so beautiful. I truly cannot say enough good things. Looking through each picture, I am screaming with joy. I have a million favorites. Thank you, Amber and Alejandro, for everything! You guys are artistic geniuses!”

7. Mauricio D’Rugama

Photography Style: Fine art editorial

Good for: Couples who want someone who pays attention to the little details

Review: Mau photographed our intimate wedding in Cabo, and we would recommend him to anyone. He is kind and fun, and everyone in our party loved his presence. Mau also made an effort to get to know us, our relationship, and what we were looking for before our wedding. The resulting pictures were exactly what we wanted — Mau captured the joy and beauty of that night for us with an artistic eye. The hardest part will be choosing which ones we love the most to frame!”

8. DA Weddings

Photography Style: Fine art editorial

Good for: Couples who prefer more natural edits

Review: WOW! Not sure where to start. Daniel R. is the ultimate professional. Upon initially meeting, we knew we wanted to work with him. He is very professional and passionate, and you can tell that he genuinely enjoys his work and takes immense pride in his art. Super easy to work with and so respectful of your space and time. THANK YOU, Daniel and team! We loved having you document our wedding day. You made it extra special. The photos and videos were beyond anything we could have imagined. This man has vision and leads an amazing team. Daniel will run to make sure he gets you the right shot that he has in mind (I have video evidence of this). He is dedicated and committed!

9. AH LoveStories

Photography Style: Timeless editorial

Good for: Couples who want wedding photos that look like they belong in Vogue

Review: “Terrified of stiff, awkward, corny photos, we met Ana and knew it would all work out. She lights up the room: her incredible energy and lightheartedness are contagious, and she takes you from nervously posing to enjoying a shoot in a second. As corny as it may sound, Ana captures magic. She makes thousands of memories of the 687 emotions you are too overwhelmed to understand you are going through in a wedding day. Looking through our photos, we couldn’t believe how she had put on a screen exactly how we felt; the mood of the wedding and just opening our gallery took us right back. Ana brought tears to our eyes and the most overwhelming joy. Ana came into our lives to stay. We will never trust anyone else to treasure our most important moments, and after such an adventure together, we are privileged to call her a friend.”

Good for: Couples who want fashion-forward photos

Review: Gaby” is an exceptional photographer, her work is amazing. At our wedding, she did much more than we asked, and her final work made us cry with the great pictures she took of us and the whole wedding. The delivery of our wedding gallery surprised us as well since she included an extra slideshow, which we didn’t expect. During this special day, she was very helpful in keeping me comfortable and calm and also taking care of my family. She noticed I was having trouble walking with my dress and took the initiative with her associate to help me with it. She is just the kind of person you want to cover such a special day as a wedding. I absolutely recommend her, and by now, I am quite sure I will hire her again for special events.”

11. Alex Krotkov Photography

Photography Style: Classic storytelling

Good for: Couples who want wedding photos that will never go out of style

Review: Alex” was the most amazing wedding photographer for our destination wedding in Oaxaca City. He is incredibly detail oriented and walked us through the whole process from beginning to end.

14. Celia Armijo Photography

Photography Style: Timeless editorial

Good for: Couples who appreciate the finer things in life

Review: My husband and i are from Iowa and decided to have a destination wedding in Cabo, Mexico. We had no prior knowledge or recommendations of photographers/videographers to use for that area. I found Celia on Instagram and immediately fell in love with her work! We got a quote for a VERY reasonable price, especially when compared to other photographers in the area, and decided to move forward with her and her team. We purchased the package with 8 hours of photography and videography, which in turn included 576 photos, a one-minute video, a four-minute video, and an hour-long video. When I tell you we could not have been happier with the outcome, I TRULY mean it!!!! She blew our expectations out of the water! We have people telling us that our pics should be in a magazine! We are SO thankful for her and her team. We will cherish these photos and videos forever. I could not recommend Celia and her team enough! You will not regret hiring her! INCREDIBLE WORK!”

Photography Style: Timeless editorial

Good for: Couples who want a photographer who’s been in the industry for years (aka they know what they’re doing)

Review: Dani and her team were amazing! We got married in Cabo on a Friday and already had sneak peeks in my email before we left on Monday. She made everyone feel comfortable and got right to work when we walked in the bridal suite! She came with an assistant who was able to shoot the groom and groomsmen while she shot me and the girls. She was very knowledgeable about the hotel and the best places for scenery and lighting on the property. I requested her come with me for an outfit change during the reception and she had so many cute intimate ideas for me and the groom. I would hands down recommend her for future weddings and give her 5 stars!! She was amazing!”

I truly cannot pick favorites because all the photos turned out SO GOOD. They were so easy to work with day of and kept the vibe very chill. You cannot go wrong with Kape. These are photos we will cherish forever!”

This Intimate Gluggafoss Wedding Was Complete With Epic Style and a Gorgeous Picnic

April 11, 2024 | justine

Emiliano and Eduardo had a brilliant idea: escape to Iceland alongside their closest family and friends for a truly unique wedding experience. Surrounded by stunning scenery, from majestic waterfalls to enchanting forests, their intimate Gluggafoss wedding was nothing short of magical. 

They found themselves in the ideal setting to exchange heartfelt vows backed by the breathtaking natural beauty of a waterfall. With the summer Icelandic landscape as their witness, they sealed their love in an unforgettable ceremony. After officially becoming partners for life, they all reveled in the joy of the moment, coming together for an outdoor picnic. It was the perfect conclusion to a day filled with love, laughter, and some incredible groom fashion inspiration.

If you and your partner have been dreaming about going on an amazing adventure to a stunning place, then you’re in luck! Look through these incredible photos taken by Sunday & White Studio. They’re sure to make you excited about what’s to come. And to learn more about what happened during this special day, let’s hear from the Junebug planner, Pink Iceland.

The Couple:

Emiliano and Eduardo

The Wedding:

Gluggafoss, Iceland 

Junebug Planner Pink Iceland’s Insights on this Intimate Gluggafoss Wedding

As wedding planners, we absolutely loved the choices of the couples regarding what they wanted their wedding to be. Intimate, relaxed, fun, and so much about spending time with their guests. Most of the wedding picnic drinks were non-alcoholic, with different options like Icelandic sparkling tea, different options of juices infused with fruits, and Arctic herbal tea to keep the guests warm; it was a real hit. We can’t let their incredible wedding outfits go unmentioned; we’re so in awe of the glamor, beauty, and creativity of the outfits. They are just magnificent, and they look so great against the beautiful Icelandic nature backdrop. We still keep in touch with this wonderful couple, and they send us sweet messages reminiscing about how wonderful the day was. They also shared with us that their families are still bringing it up and wish to go back. This day gave us so much as planners, seeing and feeling the emotions of our couple—it’s the best part about being a wedding planner.

From Waterfalls to Picnic Tables: Crafting a Unique Reception Experience

The surroundings were perfect for this setup! The waterfall, the lake, and the trees. Greenery all around, keeping it so intimate and beautiful. You don’t have to have the traditional sit-down reception dinner in the evening. Why not try something different, use the evening sun in Iceland, and plan a reception picnic outdoors with great food and drinks? It is relaxing and fun, something different but very Icelandic. Icelanders love camping in the summer/fall, listening to music while eating, and drinking in good company throughout the evening. As it was a group of all ages, it was brilliant to have chairs and picnic tables for those who wouldn’t feel comfortable sitting on picnic blankets and pillows.

The Wedding Team:

Photography – Sunday & White Studio
Event Planning – Pink Iceland
Ceremony + Reception Venue – Gluggafoss 

 

Congratulations to Emiliano and Eduardo on their intimate Gluggafoss wedding. Many thanks to Sunday & White Studio for capturing all their celebration’s memorable moments and incredible details. And, of course, a special thank you to Junebug planner Pink Iceland for planning their big day!

Magical Casa de Don Andrés de Madariaga y Morales Wedding

April 10, 2024 | justine

Mandy and Mason adore traveling together, and their hearts beat for Cartagena, their most cherished city in the world. It was the dream spot where they tied the knot, surrounded by its vibrant culture, mouthwatering cuisine, and undeniable romance. When planning their wedding, they aimed to infuse it with authentic Colombian traditions while adding their unique touch. With a romantic vibe, breathtaking flowers, and rich colors, their Casa de Don Andrés de Madariaga y Morales wedding was a celebration where love truly flourished in every detail.

In the heart of the Old City, the couple exchanged vows in the renowned 16th-century church, setting the stage for a magical ceremony. They transformed the historic venue into a fairytale setting, adorning the aisle and altar with abundant flowers. The enchantment continued into their courtyard reception, where a stunning display of white and red blooms adorned elegant tables illuminated by flickering candles. Under a canopy of twinkling fairy lights, they savored delicious food, danced, and celebrated their love long into the night.

The Stewarts Roam did a fantastic job capturing every detail of the pair’s special day. It’s a magical event you won’t want to miss seeing!

The Couple:

Mandy and Mason

The Wedding:

Casa de Don Andrés de Madariaga y Morales, Cartagena de Indias, Colombia

The Power of Personal Vows in Their Ceremony

It was really important to Mason that we write and say our own vows during the ceremony. Writing them was much harder than I expected because there was so much I wanted to say. Ultimately, I pretended it was just the two of us there and spoke from the heart. We both had a difficult time holding back tears during our vows.

Blending Cultures and Traditions at Their Casa de Don Andrés de Madariaga y Morales Wedding

I have always had a deep passion for traveling, and now Mason and I have crossed many countries off our bucket list. We knew we wanted to plan a destination wedding weekend with multiple events to ensure we could spend plenty of time with each of our guests. Our favorite city in the world is Cartagena, and we knew it was the perfect blend of culture, cuisine, and romance for our wedding. We planned a rooftop welcome party at Movich Hotel and a private island beach party at Blue Apple Beach Club, in addition to the wedding day. While designing the wedding, we wanted to incorporate some authentic Colombian traditions while also bringing our own flare. The ceremony and reception venues themselves offer stunning architecture, and we opted to design the aesthetic to highlight the natural beauty of the spaces.

Navigating Their Casa de Don Andrés de Madariaga y Morales Wedding Mishaps with Grace

We tried to keep our planning fun. At the end of the day, this event is about celebrating your love and commitment to one another. Though it can be stressful, we tried to use it as an excuse to have a planning “date night” together. One valuable piece of advice I received and would happily pass on is this: things might not always go as planned, and that’s perfectly fine. Hardly anyone even notices! For instance, our welcome bags were supposed to be shipped from the States but never arrived. In a spur-of-the-moment decision, we had our weekend itinerary cards handed out as guests entered the welcome party. To our surprise, many attendees approached us to express how delightful it was, completely unaware that there should have been welcome bags in the first place! Ultimately, because I wasn’t fixated on achieving absolute perfection, I found it easier to shrug off minor mishaps and enjoy the occasion to the fullest.

Celebrating the Bride’s Grandmother’s Presence as Their Flower Girl

We were so proud of my 85-year-old grandmother for traveling to Colombia and being our “flower girl.” We have an extraordinarily close relationship, and it meant the world to me to have her as a part of our day. She was an absolute rockstar.

Elevating Their Casa de Don Andrés de Madariaga y Morales Wedding Experience With a Midnight Surprise

We surprised our guests with a Colombian tradition called “Hora Loca” (Crazy Hour). At midnight, there were suddenly costumed performers, feathered dancers, lights, and wild entertainment. It got everyone energized, and the dance floor was packed.

Photography – The Stewarts Roam
