Engagement & Couples Photographer in Cabo San Lucas

Maybe you just got engaged. Maybe you're celebrating an anniversary, or you simply want beautiful photos of the two of you in a place you love. Whatever brought you to Cabo, a couples session on this coastline — with the arch, the cliffs, and that impossible golden light — is one of the most romantic things you can do here.

I'm Ana Badillo, and photographing couples is one of my favorite things in the world. My approach is relaxed and a little playful: I give you gentle direction so you never feel lost, then step back and let the real connection happen. The result feels like you — warm, natural, and genuinely in love.

Engagement sessions with a purpose

If you're getting married in Cabo, an engagement session is the smartest thing you can book before the wedding. It's a chance to get comfortable in front of my camera, learn how you photograph together, and shake off the nerves — so on your wedding day, being photographed already feels easy and familiar.

And you walk away with gorgeous images for your save-the-dates, wedding website, and the walls of your home.

Where and when we shoot

The magic hour in Cabo is the sixty minutes before sunset, when the desert glows and the Sea of Cortez turns deep and luminous. We can shoot on the sand near El Arco, along the Pacific cliffs, or somewhere quiet near your hotel. Sunrise sessions are wonderful too — soft, private, and cool before the day heats up.

"I'm not looking for perfect poses. I'm looking for the way you look at each other when you forget I'm there."

Simple to book, bilingual throughout

Couples sessions usually only need a week or two of notice, so they're easy to add to a trip. I'm fully bilingual and based in Cabo, so planning is effortless whether you're writing from the US or already here. Tell me your dates and what you're celebrating, and let's create something you'll treasure.
