You're planning a wedding thousands of miles from home, in one of the most beautiful places on earth. You deserve a photographer who knows this coastline by heart — where the light falls at golden hour, which cliffs frame the Sea of Cortez, and how to make a day that feels effortless look effortless in every frame. You can see the full range of our work in our Cabo wedding photography.

We're Ana Badillo and Frank, destination wedding photographers based in Cabo San Lucas. For years we've documented weddings across Los Cabos — from intimate beach elopements to full luxury resort celebrations — for couples who fly in from the United States, Canada, and beyond. Our style is editorial and colorful, but never staged into stiffness. We photograph the real day: the laughter, the first look, the quiet second before you walk down the aisle.

Why couples choose Cabo — and why they choose us

Cabo San Lucas gives you the arch at Land's End, the drama of Pacific cliffs, and desert light you won't find anywhere else in Mexico. But a great location only becomes a great photograph in the right hands. Knowing a venue means knowing exactly when to move, where to stand, and how to work quickly so you're never pulled away from your own celebration.

Because we live here, we can scout, plan timelines around the sunset, and coordinate directly with your planner in English or Spanish. Nothing about your day gets lost in translation.

What coverage looks like

Every package is built around hours of coverage, so it maps cleanly onto your timeline — whether you want just the ceremony and portraits or a full day from getting-ready to the last dance. Not sure what fits your day? See how many hours of coverage you need. With six hours or more you also receive 1,000+ straight-from-camera originals (unedited), so no moment is ever lost. You'll see a sneak peek within 72 hours of the wedding.

"A destination wedding should feel like a getaway, not a logistics project. Our job is to carry the weight of the details so you can simply be present."

Serving all of Los Cabos and Baja

We photograph weddings and elopements across Cabo San Lucas, San José del Cabo, the Tourist Corridor, Todos Santos, and La Paz — and we travel internationally for couples who want us with them wherever they say "I do." If your venue has a preferred-vendor list, let's talk early; the sooner we connect, the more we can help you plan a day that photographs beautifully.

For American and Canadian couples planning from abroad

Most of the couples we photograph are American and Canadian, planning a destination wedding from thousands of miles away. That distance is exactly why hiring someone local matters: we can visit your venue beforehand, photograph the light at the hours your ceremony will actually happen, and answer the small questions nobody thinks to ask from abroad. We work in English and Spanish, so we coordinate with your planner, your venue, and every vendor without anything getting lost in translation.

If you're flying in for a scouting trip, We'll show you how each space looks at sunset and where the strongest photo spots are. Marrying elsewhere in Baja California Sur? We cover the whole region, from San José del Cabo and Todos Santos to La Paz — see our Baja California Sur wedding photography page.

Wedding venues we photograph across Los Cabos

From resorts along the Tourist Corridor to hidden villas and beach clubs, We photograph weddings at the best-known venues in Los Cabos. We've written a dedicated guide to several of them: Flora Farms, Acre Resort, Hyatt Ziva Los Cabos, RIU Palace Cabo San Lucas, Casa Dorada, and Fiesta Americana Los Cabos. We also photograph weddings at Sunset Monalisa, Esperanza, Chileno Bay, Waldorf Astoria Los Cabos, Montage Los Cabos, One&Only Palmilla, Cabo del Sol and Pueblo Bonito, along with private estates and quiet beachfront ceremonies. If your venue isn't on the list, don't worry. We know this coastline end to end and will happily scout wherever your celebration takes us.

Not every celebration is a wedding. If you're planning a Cabo Proposal Photographer — on the sand at The Cape or on the rooftop at Breathless — or a family session like the ones we photograph at Villa del Palmar, we cover those too.

Frequently asked questions

How far in advance should I book a wedding photographer in Cabo San Lucas?

The most popular dates, November through May, book six to twelve months ahead. If you already have a date, reach out as early as you can so we can hold it for you.

How much does a destination wedding photographer in Cabo cost?

Every package is built around your hours of coverage, so pricing depends on how much of the day you want documented. Send us your date and venue and we'll put together a custom quote. For an honest picture of what photographers across Cabo charge, our guide to wedding photographer costs in Cabo San Lucas breaks down the market.

Do you travel throughout Los Cabos and beyond?

Yes. We photograph weddings across Cabo San Lucas, San José del Cabo, the Tourist Corridor, Todos Santos and La Paz, and we travel internationally for couples who want us with them wherever they say "I do."

Do you photograph small weddings and elopements?

Absolutely. Some of our favorite days are intimate beach elopements with just the two of you. Coverage can be as short or as full as you need.

Are you bilingual?

Fully. We coordinate with you and your planner in English or Spanish, so nothing about your day gets lost in translation.

When will we see our wedding photos?

You'll receive a sneak peek within 72 hours of the wedding, followed by your complete edited gallery.

Should we have a legal or a symbolic ceremony in Cabo?

Most international couples marry legally at home and have a symbolic ceremony in Cabo: it looks identical to guests, allows fully personalized vows, and skips local blood tests, certified translations and registry paperwork. If you want the legal side done here, our guide to the requirements to get married in Cabo San Lucas walks through every step.

What is the best month for a wedding in Cabo San Lucas?

November through May brings the most reliable weather, with daytime temperatures between 75 and 82°F and almost no rain. May and June are warm with fewer crowds, while July through September is the hot, humid stretch and the heart of hurricane season. Our month-by-month guide to the best time to get married in Cabo goes deeper.

What time of day should we plan our ceremony?

Plan the ceremony to end 60 to 90 minutes before sunset. That timing keeps guests out of the harsh midday sun, puts your portraits directly into golden hour, and leaves you free for the party. Our golden hour timeline for Los Cabos shows what that looks like by season.
