mexico destination Wedding Planning Guide

from a wedding photographer perspective

Planning a destination wedding in Mexico from the US or Canada comes with questions that Google rarely answers well — which venues actually photograph well, when sargassum arrives on the Caribbean coast, how the vendor fee process really works, what Cabo looks like in August, and what a realistic wedding day timeline looks like at your specific resort.

This is where we share what we know. Real weddings from real couples, planning guides built from firsthand experience, and honest advice on the decisions that actually matter — across Cancún, Riviera Maya, Tulum, Cabo, Valle de Guadalupe, Puerto Vallarta, and beyond.
