Oaxaca Elopement Photographer

Ready to Discover How Eloping in Oaxaca Is Just What You've Been Dreaming of?

I help genuine, adventurous couples make their Oaxaca elopement dreams come true. 

Oaxaca’s abundance of breathtaking natural spaces, from beaches to valleys to forests to mountains, and inspired architectural gems in downtown Oaxaca City, make eloping in Oaxaca a once-in-a-lifetime dream-come-true.   

My approach, as a solo multi-medium specialist, offering photo, video, drone, and analog film by myself, allows you to preserve the intimacy without the production crew, without having to sacrifice the depth, style, and beauty in how your memories are preserved.

FREQUENTLY
asked QUESTIONS

Q:

We love your work and want to book. What is the next step?

A:

Fantastic! To reserve your wedding date, we’ll need a completed contract and a 50% deposit. If you don’t have a contract yet, just let us know and we’ll send one over! The remaining balance will be due two weeks before the wedding.

Q:

How many photos will we receive?

A:

Galleries typically include 100 images per hour. The exact amount varies from wedding to wedding. Your online gallery will come loaded with edited, high-resolution images you can print and share. 

Q:

When do you charge travel fees for weddings?

A:

Travel will be included in your package price. No hidden fees or surprise costs. 

Q:

Do you work alone or with a team?

A:

The typical elopement package consists of what I specialize in, which is providing photo, video, drone, and analog film, all by myself, preserving your intimacy without sacrificing your memories. 

However, packages can be customized to suit your needs, whether that means going with photography only, or adding a dedicated videographer, or something else. We will come up with the best solution in the free consult call.
