Plan Your Mexico City Wedding: Vendors, Inspiration, & Expert Advice

We live in Charlotte, NC and planned a destination wedding in Puerto Escondido. Alex was excellent with pre-wedding communication and recommendations. Neither of us are naturally comfortable in front of a camera. Alex did an amazing job of bringing these amazing photos out of us. He spent the time to review the little details and coach each of us to make amazing visual memories of our wedding. If that was not enough, we had a surprise choreographed first dance. Having never seen this dance, he got beautiful shots of all the action, on the fly. One of them is in our living room now. Alex also does an amazing job of keeping the show on track. Each session was on point, ensuring we got the lighting we needed and the ceremony/ reception were on schedule. We could not imagine our wedding without him! Thank you, Alex!

I can’t recommend Gaby enough! We got married during the pandemic and she was always so helpful and willing to bring new options and ideas to solve issues that happens due to the pandemic. I look at my wedding pictures and album on a daily basis (no joke). Quality is unmatched and every single picture reflects how happy and grateful we were on our wedding day. I genuinely wish everyone could have Gaby as their photographer.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The BEST decision we made!! From the very first moment we connected with Andres Mondragon, we knew we were in the best hands. But nothing could have prepared us for just how incredibly talented, kind, and professional he and his amazing team of three truly are. They didn’t just photograph our wedding weekend in Sayulita, Mexico—they told our love story in the most honest, artful, and heartfelt way possible. Andres and his team captured everything: our welcome party, the emotion and celebration of our wedding day and night, and our joyful boat party the day after. What we loved most was how effortlessly they blended into the atmosphere, never intrusive, always present, catching the real, unscripted, candid moments that meant the most to us. When we look at our photos, we don’t just see smiles or poses, we see how it felt to be surrounded by the people we love, in a place that means so much to us, on the most meaningful days of our lives. Their energy throughout the weekend was exactly what we needed fun, calming, and professional. They made us feel completely at ease in front of the camera. Every image is filled with emotion, intimacy, and joy. Andres has an unbelievable gift for seeing the beauty in the genuine, fleeting moments and preserving them forever. We will treasure these memories for the rest of our lives. If you're thinking about working with Andres, do it. It's the best decision you can make.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An absolute DREAM team! I truly cannot recommend this photo and video team enough! From our very first interaction, they were professional, responsive, and incredibly easy to work with. Their communication was always clear, prompt, and concise, which made the entire planning process completely stress-free. What impressed me most was their ability to bring my exact vision to life. I shared a mood board of the aesthetic, style, and feeling I wanted for our wedding, and they recreated it with incredible precision while adding their own artistic touch. Their creativity, attention to detail, and eye for capturing beautiful, authentic moments are truly exceptional. Beyond their talent, they are genuinely such a FUN, kind, and reliable group of people! They brought the best energy to our wedding day, made everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera, and knew exactly when to offer direction and when to capture the natural, candid moments. They were organized, punctual, hardworking, and an absolute pleasure to have around. ALL my guests loved them! Their pricing is also incredibly fair, especially considering the level of talent, professionalism, and quality of service they provide. In an industry where wedding vendors can be extremely expensive, finding a team that delivers such exceptional value is rare. Your wedding photos and videos are some of the only things you get to keep forever from such a special day, and choosing the right team is so important. I couldn’t be happier with our decision. They genuinely care about their craft and their clients, and it shows in everything they do. If you’re considering booking them, DO IT! You will be getting an incredibly talented, artistic, dependable team who will go above and beyond to make your vision a reality. Easily one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Thank you for capturing our once-in-a-lifetime memories so beautifully! PS - they definitely have an amazing way of making you feel like a beautiful celebrity! 😍❤️

Sin duda, fueron una de las mejores decisiones para nuestra boda. Captaron cada momento especial y cada emoción de un día tan importante para nosotros.

Dorian más que un fotógrafo, fue alguien que entendió perfectamente la esencia de nuestra boda, supo capturar cada momento de una forma natural. Tiene un talento increíble para capturar emociones reales, sin forzar nada. Su trabajo no solo es profesional, también transmite sentimientos y hace que cada recuerdo cobre vida. No hay palabras suficientes para agradecer el trabajo tan hermoso que hizo en nuestra boda. Cada foto está llena de emociones, de detalles y de momentos que pasaron en segundos, pero que ahora podremos revivir toda la vida. Ver nuestras fotos fue volver a sentir ese día un vez mas. Dorian congela momentos inolvidables en sus fotografias.

Julien’s expertise stands out among all photographers I have ever worked with. After enjoying a full day shoot with him while visiting Oaxaca, we invited him to join us at our wedding. When he sent the wedding photos, I can truly say every one (of hundreds!) was amazing. Not one photo missed the mark. How often can you say that?? Truly, his work, artistry and understanding of light and capturing the essence of a moment is beyond. I could not be happier with not only his work, but also his playful, professionalism and ease to be around. Everyone who saw the photos was equally stunned by what he brings out through his work. I am so grateful he was a part of our ceremony and will continue to be a part of our lives. I hold him in high regard and recommend him with my deepest trust. Thank you Julien!

We were stunned by the beautiful wedding day the Lupita Tirado team created for us. They understood what was important to us (great music and a fun party!) and made that happen. Even better, they constantly surprised us with fun ideas and little details that created a stunning impression on us and our guests. When you work with Lupita Tirado, you get a full team of professional badasses to help plan your event. They had every detail locked down - the decor, catering, layout, etc. From the very start, they were clear and prompt communicators, and we could always rely on them to answer any question or crazy idea we had. Our wedding day was a magical time spent with friends & family because of the seamless event the Lupita Tirado team created for us. Last detail of note; they created a beautiful art installation for our wedding and a crazy colorful floral concept. They are true artists and we feel lucky to have been able to work with them!

You won't regret having Isa as part of your wedding team!! We spoke with several planners and after meeting with Isa, we knew right away we were going to go with her. She's extremely genuine, organized, patient, and very knowledgeable about the wedding industry. When we flew down for the venue and hotel tours, we had a blast hanging out with her. She also put up with us and our tendency to procrastinate everything and was able to keep us on track to get everything done for the wedding AND the combined bachelor trip we had on the front end of the wedding. Transportation, souvenirs, alcohol, rehearsal dinner spot, events, vendor communication - you name it, she's taken care of it. She even has a lighting/audio/DJ package that you can add on. When I tell you the whole wedding (including us) was SHOOK! It was a helluva party, and we did not expect everything to go as smoothly as it did whatsoever and we truly have to credit it all to Isa and her team, and our other vendors as well. Thank you forever for everything, Isa!! You will always have our support and our friendship!

We absolutely loved working with the Ganesha Wedding team! We live in southern California and were planning our wedding in the town of Valle de Bravo, outside of Mexico City, and we couldn’t have done it without their support. They helped with every detail along the way and made the process feel less overwhelming. The day of coordination also blew us away. They thought of every single detail and made the day unforgettable for us! Only one of us speaks fluent Spanish, so having a bilingual team really helped with the process as well, and gave our English speaking guests peace of mind. We couldn’t recommend the team any more and are forever grateful for all the hard work that they put into planning our dream wedding!!

It was the wedding of our dreams and we have the team at Living for Tomorrow to thank. When we started thinking of our wedding in Mexico City, we knew we wanted it to be unique and edgy but had no idea where to start. I had a couple discouraging calls with other planners who basically told me I wasn’t going to be able to execute on my vision within my budget. Sophie came in and immediately changed that. She listened to our ideas, really understood the vision board and every step of the way helped me bring it to life, while keeping me within budget. Every vendor the team recommended ended up being an absolute dream to work with. Sophie helped us navigate really complex personal matters throughout the year and kept us on track. She was understanding of our tricky professional schedules and was so patient with us to make sure things didn’t fall behind. When visions were out of budget, she found alternatives and a way to make them happen. The final product was beyond our dreams. The most gorgeous, perfectly executed and run event, full of special touches that felt so uniquely us. I am a type A person, who comes from the corporate event planning world, and I have an infamously hard time letting go of control. I can confidently say, I had ZERO problem letting go on the day of the wedding because I had full trust that Sophie, Jorge, and the full team in charge was in complete control (and had an even higher bar for perfection than I did!) My maid of honors even said they were amazed at how relaxed I was on my wedding day! Icing on the cake, our guests couldn’t stop and have not stopped raving about the “wedding of the century”. I am so proud of hosting such a warm and beautiful event and beyond grateful for this team for making that happen for us. If you’re looking for a luxury wedding and a team that will just “get it” from day one, Living for Tomorrow will be the first and best decision you will make for your wedding.
