Direction over poses.
We guide movement, not positions. Walk, whisper, pause, return. The images are made between the prompts, not on top of them.
Couples Photography
The Cancún couples and honeymoon photographer.
Golden-hour beach sessions, cenote portraits, and resort coverage across Cancún, Riviera Maya, and Los Cabos. Editorial direction, bilingual on set, gallery in your hands before you fly home.
The IVAE couples experience
Editorial direction, quietly held.
Photography that does not interrupt your trip. We arrive, we direct softly, we leave you with images that feel like the inside of the day.
Bilingual on set.
English and Spanish, fluently, throughout the session. Resort staff, drivers, vendors, your partner. Nothing gets lost in translation.
Golden hour, only.
Sunrise or sunset. We do not photograph couples at noon. The light writes the entire mood of the gallery before we lift a camera.
Preview before you fly.
Ten to fifteen retouched images delivered within 48 to 72 hours. Share them from the resort, post them from the airport, frame them from home.
Resort and venue access.
Standing relationships at Mayakoba, Nizuc, Le Blanc, Pedregal, and Palmilla. We handle vendor coordination so you never sign a permission form.
Discretion in three coastlines.
We have proposed in cenotes, on yachts, on private terraces. The plan does not leak. The first time your partner notices is the first frame.
Session types
Every chapter has its own session.
Four entry points into a couples gallery. The format shifts with the moment. The standard does not.
Newlyweds
Honeymoon
Your first trip as a married couple. Bare feet, the breath between flights, the version of you that has not stopped smiling since the ceremony.
Milestone
Anniversary
Five, ten, twenty, fifty. The ease that only years of loving someone can produce. We photograph the ease, then we wait for the laugh.
Signature
Surprise proposal
We scout, we hide, we capture the truth on her face the second she realizes. Then we transition into the celebration, fluently.
Pre-wedding
Engagement
Cenotes, ruins, Caribbean coastline. Engagement portraits with a sense of place. Save-the-dates that stop the scroll.

Hana and Theo, cenote at first light.
An engagement morning that began at the entrance to Gran Cenote at 5:42 AM and finished on the beach at Akumal four hours later. Two looks, three locations, one stretch of light most travelers miss. The whole gallery is here.

Within five minutes we forgot the camera was there. Vianey directed us through a walk, a whisper, the way I always look at him. Everything we have on our walls came from that single hour.

Frequently asked
Questions, answered honestly.
Sessions begin at $450 USD for the 45-minute Essentials and rise to $950 USD for the half-day Editorial. Most couples select the Signature at $750 USD: ninety minutes, two locations, and a full editorial gallery of 80 to 120 retouched frames.
Golden hour, the final ninety minutes before sunset, produces the warmth and contrast our gallery is built around. In Mexico that lands between 5:00 and 7:00 PM depending on the season. Sunrise sessions, around 5:30 to 7:00 AM, deliver empty beaches and a softer palette: ideal for honeymoons and pregnant couples.
Yes. We hold standing relationships with Nizuc, Rosewood Mayakoba, Le Blanc Spa Resort, Waldorf Astoria Los Cabos, Pedregal, One and Only Palmilla, and many more. We handle vendor permission, catering coordination, and on-property timing in advance of your arrival.
Four to six weeks before travel during peak season (November through April). Eight weeks or more for surprise proposals, since we coordinate the venue, the moment, and the team in advance. Last-minute inquiries inside seven days are always welcome and frequently accommodated.
Neutral and earth tones: whites, creams, soft beiges, sage greens, muted blues. Flowy fabrics in linen, silk, or chiffon move beautifully in the breeze. Coordinate rather than match: one in cream, one in white. Avoid logos, neon, and busy patterns. We send every booked couple a tailored style guide with brand picks within 48 hours of confirmation.
It is our signature service. We scout the location, plan the timing, position the team discreetly, capture the reaction frame for frame, and transition into a full celebration session. We also coordinate flowers, musicians, private dining, and yacht arrivals with the resort directly.
A curated preview of ten to fifteen retouched frames within 48 to 72 hours. The complete gallery (60 to 120 frames depending on tier) arrives within two to three weeks via a private 4K online gallery with download and print-ordering enabled.
Tropical showers in this region pass within thirty to sixty minutes and frequently leave the most cinematic skies of the season. We monitor the forecast hour by hour and adjust call-time accordingly. If sustained weather prevents the session, we reschedule at no additional charge.
Yes. Pair a couples session with a family portrait, maternity coverage, a vow renewal, or a yacht charter. Combination packages offer scheduling convenience and a preferred rate. We send a custom proposal once you describe the trip.
