Plan Your Cabo San Lucas Wedding: Vendors, Inspiration, & Expert Advice

We loved our pictures taken by Mc weddings team, we felt so comfortable working with them and the result was outstanding, everyone loved our printed album and we loved every single picture. It was very fun and easy to work with them, we will never forget it, best decision made, thank you so much Mc Weddings team.

The Kape team was SO SO fun to work with and have at our wedding and welcome party. They are friendly, fun and professional. We had a blast with them. They got EVERY shot! I am blown away at how they captured every portion of our wedding day and our welcome party so perfectly. These photos take me back to the feeling of it all instantly - that is priceless! 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!

I can't say enough good things about Dani! She is so incredibly talented and good at what she does. She was so organized, punctual, reliable and communicative from our first meeting all the way to the day of the wedding. She is so sweet and friendly, my husband and I felt so comfortable with her and really felt like she captured the essence of our perfect day. We are obsessed with all of our photos! And she got them to us so quickly! She was also so accommodating of a couple special requests. Thank you Dani!!

After watching a ton of wedding videos, I loved MEMORYBOX’s wedding videos and hired them for our wedding (Tulum, MX, April ‘23). Coco (videographer) was such a joy to work with! He has a great personality, positive energy, and made the shoot very enjoyable. He has a great creative process and gets excited about his work, which only made us more excited! There was nothing forced or posed… he caught us simply enjoying our day. And we don’t even remember the cameras! Overall, from customer service, creativity, quality, & personality, I can’t recommend them enough! Thank you Coco!!!

Take it Photo is THE BEST photographer you can hire for your wedding day!! For us it was the easiest vendor to choose, just by looking at their instagram we knew right away that we wanted them for our wedding day. We met Lupe in person for our engagement session and she was AMAZING! My husband and I have never done a photoshoot before and we are obviously not models so we didn't know what to do or how to pose, but Lupe guided us through the entire session and made us feel super comfortable. After a few days we got our pictures back and WOW! they were beautiful. Our wedding was a year after and I was hoping that she was taking our pictures again, however she couldn't be there so Agustin was our photographer for the day. We knew we were in good hands because we actually met Agustin at my fiend's wedding and we got to talk to him and interact with him and he was also super nice and friendly, plus my friend's wedding pictures came out beautiful. Our experience with him was also AMAZING, he also guided us with the poses and on what to do, and let me tell you we are OBSESSED with the pictures! We are super grateful to both Lupe and Agustin, they are both the nicest people and of course INCREDIBLY TALENTED. Please stop looking for anyone else and just hired them, you won't regret it!

My husband and I are from Ontario Canada and I found Celia Armijo Photography through searching Instagram. I knew our wedding photos were going to be incredibly important to me and wanted to make sure I found a photographer that would do the best day of our lives justice! I am SOOO happy with my decision to work with Celia! Our photos turned out better than I ever could have imagined. I was hesitant to have found someone through Instagram in another country with no recommendation from someone I knew and trusted but I can tell you Celia Armijo Photography is LEGIT and INCREDIBLE! Communication was prompt and comfortable and I got my sneak peaks back within a week which was so exciting! Vanessa, Celia’s second shooter took our wedding photos for us and Celia did all of our editing and I can’t tell you how impressed I am with both of these women! Vanessa made us feel shockingly comfortable for a couple who has never had professional photos taken and she really shared in our love with us on our wedding day making it that much more special. Celia edited our photos to perfection and included each portion was could have dreamt of from our beautiful day! I highly highly highly recommend and have absolutely no regrets!! I constantly get compliments on our photos saying they should be in bridal magazines! I’m honoured to have been a subject and can’t wait to proudly display our beautiful wedding photos!! ♥️

I rarely write reviews, but after months of attempting to resolve this privately and giving every opportunity to make things right, I feel it is important to share our experience so other couples can make an informed decision. We booked Talia after extensive research and a genuinely wonderful initial consultation. From that very first call, she was warm, professional, and deeply aligned with our vision. We felt we had found not just a talented photographer, but someone we truly trusted with one of the most important days of our lives. Booking a destination wedding photographer sight unseen is a leap of faith, and our engagement session completely validated that decision — the direction, the attentiveness, the final images, all of it exceeded our expectations and gave us full confidence heading into our wedding day. Unfortunately, that trust and confidence were not honored when it mattered most. The Photographer Swap — Without a Direct Call Weeks before our wedding, we learned that Talia would not be photographing our wedding at all. Rather than hearing this directly from Talia — the person we had built a relationship with, paid, and trusted — we were informed by a member of her team and introduced to a photographer, Perry, we had never worked with before. This was jarring and deeply unsettling, especially so close to the wedding. We felt passed off without care or intention. We later learned Talia had a family emergency, which we fully understand and sympathize with — but a personal call or even a personal email from Talia herself would have gone a long way. We deserved that direct communication given the relationship we had built. The Wedding Day Coverage Despite having ample buffer time built into the timeline, the photo coverage felt rushed. Meaningful moments went uncaptured. There were notable gaps in the gallery — cocktail hour photos, dancing, candid moments, and additional family and wedding party portraits were either missing or severely lacking. The second shooter added very little value. We found ourselves having to provide direction and call out poses in the moment — something no bride should have to do on her wedding day. What made this particularly frustrating is that we knew firsthand what intentional direction and posing looked like from Talia — because she delivered exactly that during our engagement session. That session demonstrated clearly that guided, thoughtful direction was absolutely part of her creative approach and within the scope of her work. The issue was not the style or the expectation — it was that the photographer sent in her place was simply not able to deliver at that same level. We had shared detailed expectations, specific poses, and multiple Pinterest boards of visual references with Perry well in advance of the wedding, and he explicitly confirmed he was aligned with our vision. That alignment never materialized on the day. Had we been told in advance that posing and direction would not be part of the wedding day coverage, we would have come far more prepared — with clearer guidance and adjusted expectations. Instead, that critical information was never shared with us, and we only discovered the gap once it was too late to do anything about it. The Gallery — Editing & Quality When the gallery arrived, the editing felt entirely inconsistent with the style we had seen on Talia's Instagram and in her past work — the galleries that led us to book her in the first place. Many images appeared overly bright, washed out, or grainy in a way that felt like poor quality rather than an intentional stylistic choice. Portrait images in particular suffered noticeably. The overall gallery lacked variety, vision, and the storytelling quality we had been promised. It did not reflect the experience of our wedding day or the visual language we had aligned on during our planning process. Countless Opportunities to Make It Right — None Fully Honored Rather than rushing to leave a public review, we chose to handle this privately and gave Talia multiple opportunities over several months to remedy the situation. We raised every concern thoughtfully and respectfully, and to her credit, Talia did apologize and offered a re-edit of specific images. We submitted our re-edit requests clearly and in good faith. The re-edits we received back were deeply problematic. Several photos contained significant inaccuracies — including altered details in my jewelry, bouquet, and attire. Most disturbingly, in at least two images, my husband's appearance was so noticeably altered that he looked like an entirely different person. These were not minor color adjustments — these were substantial and concerning changes that appear to have been made using AI-based editing tools without our knowledge or consent. It is difficult not to wonder whether these alterations were delivered in the hope that we simply would not notice — which, given the significance of these images, we find deeply unprofessional. When we raised this issue, we were told that Talia no longer had the RAW files from our wedding — which raises serious questions about professional standards and file retention practices. To make matters worse, the restriction around sneak peek images being ineligible for re-editing was never disclosed when we submitted those photos — nor at any point during the re-editing process itself. It was only after we received the flawed re-edits, expressed our frustration, and pushed back that this limitation was finally revealed. That is not a policy being communicated — that is information being withheld until a client is already upset and it becomes convenient to use as a reason why nothing more can be done. It left us feeling as though we were being managed rather than supported, and it is emblematic of a broader pattern that defined this entire experience. Additionally, several of the images we requested re-edited were black and white photos that we asked to be converted to color. We were told this was a creative decision and could not be changed — a limitation that was never disclosed upfront, and one we only learned about when it was used to deny our request outright, despite the fact that some color versions did exist. Dismissive Communication and a Lack of Transparency One of the most frustrating aspects of this entire experience was the communication style that emerged as the process wore on. What began as warm and collaborative gradually became cold, deflective, and transactional. By the end, Talia was redirecting us to her assistant for responses — which, given the gravity of our concerns and the months of respectful dialogue we had maintained, felt like a clear signal that a dissatisfied client was no longer worth her personal time or attention. Beyond the tone, there was a consistent pattern throughout this entire experience of information only being shared reactively — after problems had already surfaced — rather than proactively and transparently from the start. The limitations around black and white image delivery, the boundaries of re-editing, the sneak peek file restrictions, the implications of a photographer swap, the use of AI tools in post-processing, the level of posing direction that would or would not be provided on the day — none of these were communicated to us upfront. Instead, we were left to discover each one as a consequence after the fact, and when we raised concerns, the response often carried an undertone that we should have understood these things already. Couples hiring a wedding photographer should not be expected to anticipate undisclosed limitations and industry nuances that were never shared with them. Transparency and proactive communication are not optional — they are foundational to the trust that makes this kind of work possible. Concerns About Contract Compliance While Talia's team maintained that everything was delivered according to the contract, we have serious concerns that the contract was in fact breached in multiple ways. First, our contract stipulated that any photographer swap would be a true 1:1 replacement — meaning someone of equivalent skill, style, and experience. Perry, while kind and professional, was not a like-for-like substitute for Talia, and the resulting coverage reflected that gap. Second, our contract specified that Talia herself would edit our photos. The re-edits we received showed clear signs of AI-based manipulation — altering physical details, attire, and even my husband's appearance to the point of being unrecognizable in certain images. This was done without our knowledge or consent and is not what we agreed to when we hired Talia. These are not minor concerns — they go to the heart of what we paid for and trusted her to deliver. Final Thoughts These are irreplaceable memories. We trusted Talia with one of the most important days of our lives, and at every critical moment — the photographer swap, the wedding day execution, the gallery delivery, the re-edits, and the final communication — the experience fell short of what was promised and what we deserved. If you are considering booking Talia, please go in with eyes wide open. Ask explicitly what happens if she cannot attend your wedding and what a "1:1 replacement" truly means in practice. Ask about her file retention policy, which images may be delivered exclusively in black and white, re-edit limitations, sneak peek file restrictions, and whether AI tools are ever used in the editing process. Ask whether posing and direction will be provided on your wedding day, and whether any substitute photographer has been confirmed to be aligned with your specific vision — not just in conversation, but in practice. Understand that the experience you have during your engagement session may not reflect what you receive on your wedding day. We truly wanted to love our photos. We gave every opportunity for that to happen. We are heartbroken that it did not.

Lupita and her team were amazing. I've seen so many friends and family stress over their wedding planning; but mine was so enjoyable because of how reliable, assuring, and organized the team was. They really made it the best day of my life.

We were thrilled with our experience working with SOS Wedding Planners. They came recommended to us by a friend of a friend and we're so happy we chose them to help with our special day. From the beginning they were enthusiastic, organized, and we felt immediately at ease knowing they had so much experience in the industry, and in the region of Mexico we were interested in. They made the process easy on us by always reaching out when we needed to take care of next steps, providing quality vendor recommendations, and getting us answers to all our questions timely. When it came to the big weekend, everything went off without a hitch which led to the wedding weekend of our dreams that was stress-free for us!! They truly have your best interest at heart. We cannot recommend SOS enough!

WOW!!! I am absolutely in awe. We are so happy we found Francesco & Giuseppe. They truly captured not just how our wedding looked, but exactly how it felt. Pink Balance was hands down the best decision we made for our wedding. They made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera, and their energy and personalities were absolutely infectious. By the end of the night, we were genuinely sad to see them go. Thank you both for your incredible talent, your energy, and for giving us something we’ll treasure forever!!
