Planning a wedding, maternity session, or family shoot in Los Cabos? Here are answers to the questions I hear most often. If you don’t find what you’re looking for, feel free to reach out through the contact page I’m always happy to talk through your plans.
Are you based in Los Cabos full time?
Yes. I live and work in Los Cabos, Baja California Sur. I am available year-round for sessions throughout Cabo San Lucas, San José del Cabo, and the Corridor, and I travel for destination assignments across Mexico
Do you travel outside of Los Cabos for sessions?
Absolutely. My base coverage area includes the full Los Cabos corridor from San José del Cabo to Cabo San Lucas at no additional cost. Beyond that, I regularly photograph weddings and sessions throughout Mexico, including Todos Santos, La Paz, Tulum, Mexico City, and other destinations and I also accept select international assignments.
A travel fee applies for locations outside the Los Cabos corridor. As a general reference:

- La Paz $180 USD
- Other destinations within Mexico quoted individually based on distance and logistics
- International assignments quoted upon request
When you reach out, just mention your location and I’ll include all travel details in your personalized quote.
How far in advance should I book?
For weddings, I recommend booking 9 to 12 months in advance, especially for peak season dates between October and May. For portrait sessions, maternity, family, couples; 4 to 8 weeks advance notice is typically sufficient, though I encourage earlier booking during the busy winter season.
What is included in a wedding photography package?
Every wedding is different, so I build packages based on your specific needs. Most wedding packages include full-day coverage, a second photographer for larger events, an online gallery of edited images, Multi-day South Asian weddings have dedicated packages covering all events.

Do you photograph sessions at hotels and resorts?
Yes. I work regularly at properties including Hyatt Ziva Los Cabos, Hilton Los Cabos, Grand Velas, One& Only Palmilla, Paradisus Los Cabos, Paradero Todos Santos and many others throughout the Corridor and Cabo San Lucas. Some resorts require a vendor fee or day pass - I can help you navigate that process.
What is the best time of year for outdoor sessions in Los Cabos?
Los Cabos enjoys over 300 days of sunshine per year, making it beautiful year-round. The most popular season runs from October through May, when temperatures are mild and rainfall is minimal. Summer months (June–September) can be warm and humid, with occasional tropical storms, but also offer lush green desert landscapes and fewer crowds. For outdoor sessions, golden hour — the hour before sunset — is always the most flattering light regardless of season.
Do you photograph quinceañeras and other celebrations?
Yes. In addition to weddings and portraits, I photograph quinceañeras, family reunions, anniversary sessions, proposals, and special celebrations throughout Los Cabos. Each event is approached with the same care and attention I bring to wedding coverage.
How much does the photo session cost?
My sessions are available in three lengths to fit different needs and group sizes. A 30-minute session starts at $290 USD and works well for couples, small families, and proposals. A one-hour session is $390 USD and is ideal for families of any size or those wanting a more relaxed experience with multiple setups. For larger groups of 8 or more, I recommend a 90-minute session at $550 USD. All sessions include professional editing and a private online gallery. Wedding photography is custom-quoted based on your date, coverage needs, and events feel free to reach out and I’ll send you a full details guide tailored to your plans.
Do you offer sessions for large groups?
Yes, for groups of 10 people or more, special rates apply due to the additional coordination involved.
- 30-minute session: $550 USD
- 1-hour session: $700 USD
A one-hour session is highly recommended for larger groups to allow enough time for different combinations, candid moments, and a more relaxed experience.
How many photos will I receive?
For portrait sessions the number of final edited images depends on the length of your session. A 30-minute session delivers a minimum of 40 images. A one-hour session delivers between 90 and 120 images. A 90-minute session delivers between 150 and 180 images. For wedding photography, delivery varies based on coverage length, most weddings receive between 300 and 900 final images depending on the package. Quality, variety, and consistent editing are always my priority in every delivery.
How long does it take to receive my photos?
Portrait sessions are delivered within 3 to 5 days. Proposals are delivered the following day so you can share your news right away. Wedding galleries are delivered within 4 to 6 weeks of your wedding date. All images are delivered through a private online gallery where you can download, share, and order prints directly.
Do you edit and retouch the photos?
Every photo you receive is professionally edited for color, lighting, and composition. I do light retouching to enhance natural beauty, but I avoid heavy or unrealistic edits. My goal is timeless, authentic images you’ll love
