“He didn’t simply photograph our wedding - Alex captured our entire story.
Every frame feels intentional, artistic, and deeply personal…
When we look through our gallery, we don’t just see the day - we feel it all over again!”
— KJ & Bryan
Why we might be a good fit
You want your photos to feel natural, cinematic, and candid - without photography taking over.
You don’t have to choose between real moments and beautifully composed portraits.
We call it guided documentary: unscripted moments come first, with calm direction when you need it.
On the day, I gently guide you so you feel comfortable. Camera-shy? I know the feeling - and how to help.
And I know when to step back and let the moment unfold, capturing it within the beauty of your surroundings.
That’s where documentary storytelling meets an artistic, editorial eye - and the magic happens.
Thoughtful planning for a more relaxed wedding day.
No couple should miss that golden hour magic.
That’s why I help you shape the photography timeline around the best light - through calls, meetings, and my Wedding Visual Guide, developed through 250+ weddings and elopements.
When the day comes, you can simply relax and savor every moment.
Published, award-winning photography - and always focused on your story.
I’m proud that my work’s been featured in leading international publications, including Vogue and Architectural Digest. I’ve also received awards from IWPOTY, ISPWP, and MyWed (ranked Top 10 in Mexico in 2026).
Recognition feels good, but it’s not why I photograph.
It helps you find me and feel confident in your choice - but telling your story is what matters most.
Whatever happens -
I’ve got you covered.
I’m Mexican and based in the heart of Oaxaca, so you can count on my local knowledge and support - for more than just photography.
Need help choosing a location or finding local vendors? I’ve got you.
Beyond Mexico, I’ve photographed weddings worldwide since 2016 - from French villages to Boston inns. Rain or shine - I’ve got you.
Full-day coverage includes an assistant, backup gear, and a second photographer when needed - so you have one less thing to worry about.
Wherever your wedding takes you, we’ll capture it.
Now, let’s tell your story.
“Alex did an amazing job of offering gentle, thoughtful guidance whenever we needed it…
He knew exactly how to get the best shots without making anything feel overly staged, allowing all of us to be ourselves.”
— Kenna&Ben

— Ailene&Fredy

Some answers to your questions
-
Yes, I love capturing intimate weddings and elopements! I work in Oaxaca and throughout Mexico.
Elopements can be much more than just a couple of hours - we often build full-day or two-day coverage around your actual plans, even when they look nothing like a traditional wedding.
-
I call it guided documentary: real moments come first, with calm direction when you need it.
The photographs feel natural and candid, but I still pay close attention to light, composition, creative techniques, and the beauty of your surroundings.
-
That’s my specialty 🙂 You don’t need to know how to pose or what to do with your hands.
I’ll offer simple direction when you need it, then step back and let you be yourselves.
-
Count on it - I’ll help you shape the photography timeline around the best light, realistic travel times, and the moments you care about most.
We’ll do that through calls, meetings, and my Wedding Visual Guide, built from experience photographing more than 250 weddings and elopements.
If you’re working with a planner, I’ll gladly coordinate with them too.
-
Full-day wedding packages in Oaxaca begin at $54,000 MXN, sessions start at 9,200 MXN.
They include pre-wedding planning, timeline and location guidance, photography by me, and a fully edited online gallery.
Elopement and multi-day coverage are also available.
-
Definitely! My three most popular packages work for around 90% of weddings, but some elopements and celebrations need something a little different.
I can build a custom option around the hours, locations, and events you want covered.
-
I’m Mexican and based in Oaxaca. I regularly photograph weddings in Oaxaca City, Puerto Escondido, Mazunte, and Huatulco, as well as Mexico City, San Miguel de Allende, and destinations throughout Mexico and worldwide.
Every package in the brochure I send you already includes all travel costs.
-
Sure! I regularly work with couples from around the world and communicate fluently in English, Spanish, and Russian.
We plan through online calls, and I can coordinate directly with your planner or local vendors.
I’m also happy to help with local recommendations and location scouting.
-
It depends on what you want to include. Many couples want to savor the day: getting ready together at the hotel, an ancestral ceremony, dinner with your close ones.
You can have it all! I’ll recommend enough coverage to tell the story without rushing you or turning the day into one long photo shoot.
-
It depends on your exact location, but November through March is a good rule of thumb for Oaxaca and many parts of Mexico.
By November, the rainy season is usually off, and the weather is cooler. Around February, some spots on the Pacific coast give you that ‘touchdown’ sunset over the ocean. April through October is generally hotter and rainier, although conditions vary across Mexico.
Tell me where and what you’re planning, and I’ll help you find the best timing.
-
Of course! A portfolio shows the highlights - and when you inquire, I’ll send my complete brochure.
It includes full galleries from real weddings. They show how I photograph the whole day - changing light, family photos, quiet moments, portraits, details, and the party.
In the meantime, feel free to check my blog here with more complete wedding galleries.
-
It’s best to reach out as soon as your general timeframe begins to take shape - especially for popular weekends or peak months like November or February.
If you’re still deciding on the exact location or date, let me know the general plan, and I'll check availability.
Your date is reserved with the signed agreement and booking deposit.
-
You’ll receive your carefully edited, high-resolution photographs in a personalized gallery. It’s easy to view, download, share, and even order prints directly from it.
Full-day packages start with 400 photos, delivered within two months of your wedding (longer coverage and a second photographer expand the final count).
Selected packages also include sneak peek previews within three days.
-
Not always - but it often helps. One photographer is perfect for elopements and smaller celebrations.
For weddings with more than 100 guests, I highly recommend a second photographer for more photos of your guests. They’re also useful when you’re getting ready in different places, or want a second perspective on parts like the ceremony and cocktail hour.
I’ll recommend one only when it adds real value.
-
Absolutely! I regularly photograph LGBTQ+ weddings and elopements, and every couple is welcome here.
You deserve to feel comfortable, respected, and fully yourselves from our first conversation through the wedding day.
-
We adapt 🙂 We go for flexibility in your photography timeline and keep an eye on the weather as the day approaches. We’ll often pick a roof-covered Plan B or move the outdoor photos to a clear break in the weather.
Full-day coverage also includes an assistant and backup equipment - and yes, assistants with umbrellas have saved me more than once!
