" I couldn't be happier with the results!"
There are not enough words to describe how great Marina is! Marina is simply amazing, kind, sweet, and so talented! We found Marina on Wedding Wire and we were blown away by her work! I found myself tearing up looking at her photos! She captures every single detail so beautifully! The way she uses the natural light in photos is simply amazing and our wedding photos are so gorgeous! We love the light and airy feel of her photos and the quality is amazing and timeless. We have gotten so many complements from family, friends, and coworkers on our wedding photos and how they look straight out of a magazine! We are so thankful we found Marina! We will definitely be back to Mexico to have her be apart of special moments in our life!

"Marina is amazing!"
I done my research and just loved her work so I knew I had to have her as my wedding photographer. We booked easily and even when covid caused us to delay the wedding, marina was accommodating and transfered the date straight away.
I had two photographers for the day and they were both fantastic, I couldn't have asked for better. They both made us feel at ease and captured those special natural moments which is what I love about marinas work, nothing is posed and awkward.
The photographs were uploaded onto my own file on marinas website which made it easy for family and friends to access.
I am still so pleased I chose marina and would 100% recommend!
Katie & Chris
"We can’t say enough great things about Marina!"
She has an eye for details and is such a creative photographer. During our ceremony, she made sure all the special moments were captured. Every emotion across our faces are now memories we have with us forever. Even all the excitement during our reception - so many funny moments and memories that we will cherish.

HOW DID YOU BECOME A WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER?
I fell in love with wedding photography in 2010 and have been capturing love stories ever since. It's been an incredible journey over the past 13 years, and I feel incredibly grateful to have turned my passion into my career.
HOW MANY WEDDINGS HAVE YOU PHOTOGRAPHED?
I have had the pleasure of photographing over 200 weddings, and I'm always excited to capture even more beautiful moments for couples in Puerto Vallarta and Cancun!
WHERE ARE YOU BASED?
Currently, I am based in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. However, I have a second home in Cancun. I love traveling and exploring new locations, so I am more than willing to pack my bags and capture your special day anywhere you desire.
WHO DO YOU ENJOY PHOTOGRAPHING?
I absolutely adore capturing the love between couples who are deeply in love and share a desire for a wedding that creates an unforgettable experience. It brings me joy to work with stylish couples who prioritize quality. Love knows no boundaries, so all ethnicities, orientations, gender identities, and expressions are welcome!
HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR PHOTOGRAPHY STYLE?
My photography style can be described as clean, timeless, and natural. I steer clear of cheesy and overly filtered photos. Instead, I aim to provide you with polished yet authentic images that truly reflect the essence of your special day. Your wedding collection will include a mix of candid moments, storytelling details, and beautiful portraits.
WILL YOU PROVIDE US WITH DIRECTION DURING THE SHOOT?
Absolutely! I understand that many couples feel a bit awkward in front of the camera, and that's completely normal. During the portrait portion of the day, I will provide you with direction and encouragement to bring out your natural selves. I want you to feel comfortable and confident, and I promise to capture you both looking amazing.
DO YOU WORK WITH AN ASSISTANT OR A SECOND PHOTOGRAPHER?
My wedding collections include the added advantage of having a skilled second photographer/assistant by my side. This ensures that no precious moments are missed and that everything runs seamlessly throughout your special day.
WHAT IS YOUR TURNAROUND TIME?
My turnaround time can vary depending on the volume of work, my current schedule, and any upcoming holidays or travel plans. However, I strive to deliver portrait sessions within 2 weeks or less and weddings within 8 weeks or less. I make it a priority to provide you with your precious memories as soon as possible without compromising the quality and attention to detail they deserve.
HOW DO WE BOOK YOU FOR OUR WEDDING?
To book me for your wedding, we will first connect to discuss your wedding details and vision. After that, I will send you a contract online. Once you have reviewed and agreed to the contract, a 20% booking fee will be required to officially reserve the date.
