Forget cookie-cutter ceremonies and Pinterest-perfect predictability. Your Oaxaca wedding is about vibrant colors, sun-kissed plazas, and ancient secrets whispered on the wind. It’s about dancing under starry skies with agave spirits warming your soul and mariachi melodies swirling around you. It’s about a love story as bold and breathtaking as the Sierra Madre mountains themselves.
And I’m here to capture it all, mi amigo. Not just the sun-drenched smiles and floral archways (though those are pretty darn epic, too). I’m here to capture the abuela’s teary hug, the barefoot fiesta erupting in the cobblestone streets, the way your “te quiero” echoes through the canyons. I’m here to turn your Oaxaca wedding into a technicolor tapestry woven with laughter, tradition, and a smidge of mezcal magic.
Let me as your oaxaca wedding photographer be your guide.
Why choose me, your Oaxaca wedding photographer?
- I speak the language of Oaxaca. From the lilting Spanish to the local Zapotec slang, I understand the nuances of your story – and I know how to tell it in every dazzling photo.
- I’m an adventurer, not a tourist. Forget posed portraits and forced smiles. I’ll chase the mercados’ vibrant chaos, climb ancient ruins with you, and get lost in the mezcaleria’s smoky laughter. Your realness, your raw joy – that’s what I crave.
- I’m a storyteller, not a documentarian. Sure, I’ll capture the cake-cutting and first dance (duh!), but I’ll also capture the tearful toasts, the stolen kisses under bougainvillea arches, the abuelita’s secret salsa recipe spilling like laughter. I’ll find the magic in the ordinary, the love in the dust motes dancing in the afternoon sun.
- I’m your Oaxaca wedding confidante. Planning a wedding in a foreign land can be daunting. But don’t worry, amigo, I’m your on-the-ground guru. From recommending the best mole poblano to navigating hidden mezcal distilleries, I’m here to make your Oaxaca experience unforgettable.

Lyndsay & Jimmy
“Marcela’s work is pure magic! She is such a talented photographer and amazing human being. When I first looked at her portfolio/photos, I fell in love. She’s so creative and made us feel so comfortable. Not only that, she made it fun too! My husband hates taking photos more than anything and he even enjoyed it, that’s really saying something! The engagement photos came out so beautiful! At that point I knew we HAD to have her for our destination wedding in Fiji. She was so easy to work with through the whole process. I thought it would be difficult but she made it so simple. The weather was crazy, the wedding day timeline was all over the place and nothing went exactly as planned but she captured the day PERFECTLY. I could not be more grateful. If you are thinking about booking her for your wedding (or anything else for that matter) DO IT NOW! I promise, you will not regret it. Thank you again Marcela for being so amazing.”

I’m your photographer, tour guide, & drinking buddy.
Spanish is my Native Tongue, but I’m admittedly a bit more comfortable chatting in English. My family is originally from Guadalajara, Jalisco and a nearby pueblo. I grew up spending every summer traveling down to Mexico, swimming in the beautiful turquoise beaches, exploring the metropolitan cities, and riding horses through los cerros or countryside. You could say I’m pretty smitten with my motherland.
My style is vibrant, Earthy, and romantic… with a dash of grit. I love being able to capture all of the tender and boisterous moments on wedding days, whether it’s at an intimate elopement with a grand landscape or a giant festival type party with everyone you’ve ever met and everything else in between. I combine a photojournalistic approach with artistic portraiture to make sure you’ve got photos to commemorate every part of your big day.
