Planning a wedding in Los Cabos? Imagine the turquoise sea as your backdrop, soft sand under your feet, and vibrant blooms framing every moment. Flowers set the tone—from romantic arches to elegant centerpieces. Whether you're dreaming of a boho-chic ceremony, a luxury affair at a resort, or an intimate beach elopement, choosing the right Cabo wedding florist is key to bringing your vision to life.

In this guide, we’ll introduce you to the top wedding florists in Cabo (without naming actual businesses), highlight the types of floral services they offer, and share some pro tips on how to choose the best floral designer for your special day.

Why Hiring a Local Cabo Wedding Florist Matters

Florals in Cabo aren’t just about pretty arrangements—they need to survive heat, wind, and sometimes even tequila-fueled conga lines. Local florists know which blooms hold up best in the Baja climate, how to source them efficiently, and how to work with your planner and venue seamlessly.

They’re also pros at beach setups, destination wedding logistics, and navigating customs when brides attempt to bring in peonies from abroad (spoiler alert: don’t).

1. The Luxury Floral Artist

Best for: High-end, large-scale weddings with bold design.

These florists create full floral installations: floating flower clouds, custom ceremony arches, and lavish tablescapes that make Pinterest cry tears of joy. If you want a wow-factor and don’t mind splurging, a luxury floral designer in Cabo can transform your venue into a flower-filled dream.

What they offer:

• Custom floral design proposals with mood boards

• Imported flowers and exotic blooms

• Full delivery, setup, and teardown service

• On-site floral stylists for touch-ups

Pro Tip: Ask to see previous weddings at your venue to gauge their experience with the space.

2. The Minimalist Designer

Best for: Intimate weddings, modern couples, and eco-conscious brides.

Not everyone wants a flower explosion. Minimalist Cabo florists specialize in clean lines, neutral palettes, and strategic pops of color. Think: dried palms, soft roses, and lots of negative space.

What they offer:

• Bouquets with a modern twist

• Simple but striking centerpieces

• Sustainability-focused floral choices

• Dried floral options for keepsakes

Funny anecdote: One bride insisted on "a single monstera leaf in a tall vase" as her entire centerpiece plan. The florist loved the challenge—and so did the guests.

3. The Boho Beach Lover

Best for: Laid-back, barefoot brides who love pampas grass and earthy tones.

These florists live for desert meets ocean vibes. Think driftwood arches, succulents, macramé accents, and soft pastel blooms that match Cabo’s sunsets. If you’re dreaming of a ceremony with boho soul, this is your vibe.

What they offer:

• Wild, undone bouquet styles

• Pampas grass installations

• Succulent and cactus arrangements

• Integration with natural Cabo elements like driftwood and coral

Pro Tip: Boho florists often have the best local sourcing for dried materials and unique textures.

4. The All-In-One Floral & Decor Team

Best for: Couples who want florals, rentals, and styling from one vendor.

Time is precious when planning from abroad. Some Cabo wedding florists also offer decor rentals, styling services, lighting, and even furniture. Hiring one vendor to handle both florals and decor can streamline your planning and save you from a million emails.

What they offer:

• Florals plus tableware, chairs, arches, and more

• Full design coordination

• Venue-specific design strategies

• One cohesive aesthetic

Funny anecdote: One couple let the team surprise them with a design based on a two-word brief: “Desert Disco.” The result? Cactus centerpieces, mirrored planters, and the DJ in a glitter cape. Iconic.

5. The DIY-Friendly Florist

Best for: Budget-savvy couples or micro weddings.

Yes, you can still have beautiful flowers in Cabo without going over budget. Some florists offer “a la carte” wedding florals or pre-arranged packages for elopements and small weddings. You order, pick up (or get simple delivery), and set up yourself or with your planner.

What they offer:

• Pre-designed bouquet and boutonniere packages

• Small ceremony florals

• Pickup and delivery options

• Flexible minimums

Pro Tip: Perfect for elopements or pop-up weddings where setup is minimal.

Here are some options for Wedding Florist and Floral Designers in Cabo:

• The Cabo Wedding co 

• Velvet Floral

• Pinacate0202

• Emporio Arte Floral

• Baja Flowers

• Blooms by dreams

• La floristeria Atelier

• Cabo Flowers and Cakes

• Aria Vera Floral

What to Ask Your Cabo Wedding Florist Before Booking

Booking a florist is more than just picking your favorite peony. Ask the right questions:

• Do you have experience with my venue?

• What flowers are in season for my wedding month?

• Can I see a portfolio of past Cabo weddings?

• Do you offer mockups or sample arrangements?

• Are there any travel or setup fees?

• What happens if a flower I want isn’t available?

And of course, make sure your florist is responsive, enthusiastic, and speaks your wedding love language (literal or floral).

Cabo Flower Trends You’ll See Everywhere in 2025

Cabo weddings have their own rhythm, and the trends keep blooming. Here's what's hot this year:

• Neutral + texture combos: Beige, blush, and tan blooms with dried accents

• Tropical elegance: Orchids, anthuriums, and large-leaf palms

• Bold color blocking: Think rich reds, oranges, and magentas

• Low, lush centerpieces: For easier conversation (and better Insta pics)

• Sustainable florals: Dried elements, potted plants, and repurposed designs

Seasonal Flower Guide for Cabo Weddings

Not every flower survives the Baja sun. Here’s a quick cheat sheet of blooms that work well in Cabo’s climate:

SeasonGreat Flower OptionsWinter (Dec-Feb)Roses, tulips, anemones, ranunculusSpring (Mar-May)Peonies (limited), delphinium, lisianthusSummer (Jun-Aug)Tropical blooms, orchids, proteaFall (Sep-Nov)Dahlias, marigolds, sunflowers

Always ask your florist what’s in season—you’ll save money and avoid heartbreak.

How Much Do Wedding Florals Cost in Cabo?

Cabo wedding flower budgets can vary wildly. Here’s a rough range to help you plan:

• Bridal bouquet: $150–$350 USD

• Bridesmaid bouquets: $60–$120 each

• Boutonnieres: $15–$40 each

• Ceremony arch: $400–$2,000+

• Reception centerpieces: $80–$300+ each

• Full floral design (for 80–100 guests): $3,000–$12,000+

Ask for a detailed quote and be honest about your budget. Great florists will help you prioritize.

Tips for Choosing the Right Cabo Wedding Florist

• Stalk their Instagram. Do you love their style? Can you imagine your wedding in their feed?

• Read reviews, but also listen to your gut. Communication is key—especially from abroad.

• Book early. The best florists fill up 12–18 months in advance.

• Be flexible. Some flowers won’t survive Cabo’s heat or may be unavailable. Trust your florist’s substitutions.

• Reuse where possible. Ceremony flowers can often be moved to the reception.

Final Thoughts

Your wedding flowers are more than just decoration—they’re part of the story you’ll remember forever. The scent of your bouquet, the arch where you said your vows, the petals scattered down the aisle—they’re emotional details that live on in your photos and your heart.

Choosing the right Cabo wedding florist isn’t just about who can make the prettiest arrangements—it’s about who can translate your vision into something unforgettable in the Cabo sun.

Laura and Todd’s beach wedding at Esperanza Cabo San Lucas was a dream come true, set in an incomparable natural setting. The couple chose to have an intimate wedding with their closest friends and family, and the resort’s private beach provided the perfect setting. The ceremony was held at sunset, with the scenic bluffs overlooking the Sea of Cortez serving as a breathtaking backdrop. The couple exchanged vows in a romantic so a ceremony, surrounded by the sound of the waves and the warmth of the golden hour. The serene ambiance and natural beauty of the location made their special day truly unforgettable.

***Esperanza Resort in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico***

The breathtaking destination wedding of Laura and Todd unfolded at the magnificent Esperanza in Cabo San Lucas. This luxurious venue, perched on a cliff overlooking the Sea of Cortez, was the dream location Laura had envisioned 12 years ago.

Their wedding week began with a family vacation, allowing their six children and close family members to relish in the beauty of Cabo San Lucas. The venue’s natural splendor meant minimal decor was needed, with the focus being on the couple and the awe-inspiring surroundings. The decor was chic and minimalistic, with lush tropical foliage and candles setting the ambiance. The tables were adorned with white roses, orchids, and tropical leaves, complementing the soft color palette of neutral, tan, and eucalyptus green. Esperanza Resort is an ideal year round destination due to its climate.

The couple’s spiritual connection was evident, with Todd’s Jewish heritage being honored through the breaking of the wine glass and the hora dance at the reception. Entertainment was lively, with a band setting the mood and memorable moments like Laura’s veil being playfully taken by the wind as she descended the steps to the ceremony site. Their beach photoshoot during the cocktail hour captured the essence of their love, with the golden hour lighting and aerial drone shots adding a magical touch. The world class dining experience at Esperanza Resort further enhanced the celebration, offering exquisite dishes crafted by skilled chefs.

Fashion-wise, Laura looked radiant in a Spanish-inspired dress with lace details and a flattering sweetheart neckline, while Todd looked dapper in a linen suit. Their love story, which began on Match.com, culminated in a heartwarming proposal in a rented movie theater, where Todd surprised Laura with a personalized movie and the presence of their close friends and family.

The highlight of the day was their heartfelt vow exchange on the cliff, a moment that surpassed all expectations and was truly magical. Their journey, from the early days of their relationship to this beautiful day, serves as a testament to their enduring love.

A massive congratulations to Laura and Todd! Thank you for allowing me to capture these moments as your Cabo wedding photographer!

WEDDING VENUE, CATERING, CAKE, & ACCOMMODATIONS: Esperanza, Auberge Resort Collection

WEDDING PLANNER: Cecilia

Q1: Tell us about your wedding! What was the inspiration behind

your day? Did you have a specific theme, style or color palette?

Did you incorporate any cultural or religious traditions in any part of your day?

We had an intimate destination wedding so that our family and close friends

could share in our celebration longer than just one day. We arrived in Cabo

San Lucas one week prior to our wedding so we could have a family

vacation with our six children and other family members. The venue was so

spectacular that we didn’t need a lot of decor or

embellishments. The focus was on us and the gorgeous surroundings. The

color palette was very soft with shades of neutral, tan and eucalyptus green.

My husband and I are more spiritual than religious, but he is Jewish, so we

added the breaking of the wine glass at the end of the ceremony and danced

the hora at the reception. Our first dance was a magical moment, filled with joy and emotional impact, making our celebration even more special.

Q2: Let's talk wedding decor. How did you decorate your space

for the ceremony and the reception? Was any part of the decor

DIY?

The venue was so beautiful that we didn't need much decor. We wanted a

chic, minimal tropical vibe. We used lush green tropical foliage as the

backdrop for the ceremony and lots of candles for the tables. We had 48

guests including us so we had two tables of 24 during the dinner reception. It

created a nice intimate family style gathering for our evening. The dinner reception was an intimate dinner, with close family and friends gathered around beautifully decorated tables. The only DYI

items were the gift bags for the guests. Since it was a destination

wedding I had to use the local vendors for the execution of my vision. As an

interior designer it was easy to express my vision, but hard not to be right

there helping with all the details.

Q3: What were the florals like in your wedding? Did you use

flowers in any of your design elements like the bridal bouquets,

centerpieces or ceremony backdrop? Did they play an important

part in the overall style of your wedding?

We had white roses and orchids with tropical leaves for the bouquets. That

same theme carried onto the table settings and backdrop at the ceremony.

The flowers and greenery added a nice touch to the overall look and feel of

the wedding ambiance, but they weren't the primary focus.

Q4: Did you personalize the day in any way (food trucks, guest

entertainment etc.)? What were some of your favorite parts of your

wedding?

We had a live band for our guest entertainment which helped to get the party

started! My favorite highlight was when I was walking down the steps to the

ceremony site, my veil flew off my head. It was priceless! It was a blessing

in disguise because it was super windy, and the veil would have been

wrapped around my face. lol I also loved our beach photography during the

cocktail hour. The lighting was so beautiful and the aerial drone shots were

insane. At the end of the photo shoot, we did some shots near the water. It

was us against the waves! Luckily, we won!

Q5: Let's talk fashion. How did you both choose your wedding day

look? Describe the looks in detail.

Since we were having an outdoor wedding (in the summer), we both wanted

to be cool. My dress was Spanish inspired with beautiful lace details. The

sweetheart neckline was very flattering on my physique. I wanted to

highlight my arms and shoulders because my husband loves that part of my

body. I wanted a shorter train so it would be easier to dance and run on the

beach. I wore my hair down in an old Hollywood inspired style. My makeup

was natural, yet dramatic around the eyes. I wanted to feel and look

stunning! The groom opted for a linen suit, a crisp white shirt, and dark

camel brown shoes. We wanted our attire to feel chic, stylish without being

overly formal, which is why we opted for no ties.

Q6: How did you meet? Tell us about the proposal.

We met almost 10 years ago on Match.com. Yes, one in five marriages

result in marriage according to the website. LOL This was the second time

around for both of us. We have three children each, so yes, you can say we

are the Brady Bunch. The proposal was beyond epic! My husband rented a

movie theater to propose to me. I thought we were going to see a private

show of Dirty Dancing. However, he created a 20-minute legit

movie with more than just photos. The highlights included John Legend, The

Brady Bunch, SNL Justin Timberlake skit, Pretty Woman and so much

more! When we stood up (right before the actual proposal), I turned around

and our close friends, children and parents were there! I was beyond

surprised and touched.

Q7: What was the most anticipated or special moment of your

wedding day?

The most anticipated moment was exchanging our wedding vows on a cliff

overlooking the Sea of Cortez. I had a dream 12 years ago that I was getting

married on a cliff. I search the world to find it and it happened to be at

Esperanza in Cabo San Lucas. That moment exceeded my expectations, and

it was beyond magical.

Q8: Do you have any wedding planning or marriage advice that

you'd like to share with other couples planning their day?

My best advice is… don't sweat the small stuff. Mentally prepare for

something to not go as you planned. Typically, that happens, and you need

to pivot without getting stressed. Whatever it is, it will be perfect in the end.

Try to be present for every minute and notice all the details. Soak it up

because it goes by quickly. Ultimately remember why you are getting

married. It's a sacred and special day for you and your spouse, no one else!

Five Tips for a Smoother Los Cabos Wedding Day

Being a full-time Los Cabos photographer for more than ten years, I have seen a few wedding days. I’ve seen what makes the day go smoother, and what makes a chaotic wedding day. Here are five suggestions—not just photography related—to make your Los Cabos wedding day go smoother.

1. Be aware of the weather for your wedding day

Expect sunshine 350 days a year in Cabo due to its desert climate and the Californian Gulf breeze. Winter months average in the mid 70's, while summer months can get just above 100 degrees, so pack accordingly and don't forget floppy hats, sunglasses, and sunblock. Evenings do cool off significantly due to less humidity. The best time to visit Cabo is from May to June after the bird migration, but before the hurricane season.

2. Make sure to create a timeline with buffer room. 

Remember to include travel time in your timeline. If you are on a big resort (here in Los Cabos area these could be the Riu or Pueblo Bonito, Hyatt Ziva to move from your room or from the spa to another wedding area this could take several minutes.

You should assume that everything will take longer than you think it will. Hair and makeup—you think it should take an hour. That would probably be true in most cases, but on your wedding day, you’ll have your sister, cousin, etc. interrupting asking you questions about the day. I would add at least 15-20 minutes longer than you think it should take, but 30-40 minutes would be safer.

Being rushed is a quick way to start feeling a bit stressed. 

Work with your Cabo wedding planner and your photographer to create a timeline with lots of buffer room just in case things get a little behind. 

And if things are running a little late, don’t let it worry you one bit. Truly. I’ll also be keeping and eye on things and will give some prompts and nudges here and there to keep things on time. 

Having buffer room scheduled in will help keep you at ease since you know you have plenty of time worked in to the schedule to be flexible with however the day goes. 

Best times to schedule in a bit of buffer? 

• Add an extra half hour for getting ready. Hair and make up can take a bit longer and putting on your wedding attire sometimes needs a few extra steps. This will ensure you have plenty of time in the first part of the day. 

• 45 mins right before the ceremony. Make sure you are scheduled to wrap up photos at this time. This will also allow you to have one more glass of champagne and a moment to relax before the day’s events.

3. Use a “A first look”

I know there’s the whole superstition about the groom not seeing the bride before the ceremony. And this tip is a little self-serving because first looks are so great from a story-telling perspective. They make great content for wedding albums.

The groom will appreciate a first look. Why? Because he is going to cry when he sees you. Men don’t like to cry in front of an audience, so let him do it in private. Besides, when you see how great the photos turn out, you’ll be glad you did it.

4. Get a Good Night’s Sleep, Take it easy the day before your wedding.

As stated previously, wedding days tend to be long days, especially for the bride. I know you’re going to be anxious and excited the night before your wedding, but try to get a good night’s sleep.

This goes for the groom as well. I don’t know why the tradition got started of the groom having “one last night of freedom.” I’ve seen several grooms who are so tired and hungover they can barely stand during the ceremony. Let me be straight and to the point: That’s not any way to win points with your bride, the new in-laws, or with relatives you haven’t seen in some time.

5. Maintain Hidrated and Your Blood Sugar

Depending on the time of the ceremony, many brides will begin getting ready before lunch but will not eat anything until the reception, several hours away. You will be nervous and anxious during this day, which coupled with a lack of food can cause you to experience low blood sugar.

Avoid this by eating a meal with complex carbohydrates before you begin getting ready. Avoid refined carbs because they will cause a blood sugar spike followed by a sharp drop.

Arrange at least one event (welcome cocktails or rehearsal dinner a boat trip to see the famous Cabo Arch) prior to the big day as a way to thank your guests for making the trip.  It’s also a great opportunity for them to get to know each other

Guys, if you really want to have a night of debauchery, do it a week or two before the wedding. That way, you’re in good condition for the rehearsal, the wedding, and the reception.

An added benefit of this is you’ll look well-rested in the wedding photographs and you’ll have the stamina for the wedding night

I know I said five points but I´m going to include a few more:

• Have a metting with all your vendors before the wedding

• Hire professional wedding Planner

• Practice putting on the Wedding Dress

• Hire professional local vendors

  
  
  

Cabo Wedding Photography

Doing wedding photography in Los Cabos requires the ability to work quickly and effectively. There are so many locations and expertise in event photography is essential for capturing a wedding. The amazing selection of venues makes a beautiful backdrop for awesome wedding photography. Los Cabos has the distinct ability to offer luxry venues or calm and isolated beaches of the Baja Peninsula of Mexico.

Wedding photography is a passionate art for me, so I try to make each location unique and special. Even at locations I haven't shot at before, I am always looking for new angles and lighting to make my images pop and stand out. There are so many beautiful locations, ranging from the grogeous cliffs in the Pedregal to the many scenic and luxury hotels that dot the shorline, to the organic farms like Flora Farms and Acre, the calm waters from the Sea of Cortez to the west coast of the Baja Peninsula and much more.

VERY IMPORTANT

If you're at the beginning of your search for a wedding venue in Baja Sur, there are some important considerations to keep in mind. Before booking with a hotel, check if you're allowed to bring in your preferred vendors. Often, hotels may charge high fees for external vendors, and even if you opt for their in-house services, it doesn't necessarily mean they're the best, but rather the ones that bring in the highest commissions for the hotel. As a wedding photographer based in Cabo San Lucas, I understand the importance of choosing vendors that align with your vision and budget. Don't hesitate to inquire about vendor policies before finalizing any contracts, as this can significantly impact your wedding planning experience.

Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to email myself at  info@gvphotographer.com and I will be happy to make sure you are making the right decision for your needs.

Thank you,

Cabo Wedding Cost in 2024: Tips for Budgeting Your Cabo Dream Destination Wedding

If you’re considering a destination wedding, you’re not alone. According to WeddingWire’s 2024 Newlywed Report, the average cost of a destination wedding has been a significant consideration for more than half of couples who got married last year. The sun-drenched paradise of Los Cabos, located on the southern tip of Mexico’s Baja Peninsula, is one of the most popular wedding destinations in the world.

Cabo’s beautiful beaches, stunning sunsets, and luxurious accommodations make it an ideal place to say “I do.” One way to manage your budget effectively is by exploring all inclusive wedding packages. These packages can offer a range of luxurious and elegant options, often at budget-friendly prices, while also providing clarity on what is included and what additional costs you might expect. Here are some tips for budgeting your dream destination wedding in Cabo.

Why Choose Cabo for Your Destination Wedding

Cabo San Lucas, located at the southern tip of Mexico’s Baja California Peninsula, is a premier wedding destination for couples seeking a stunning backdrop for their special day. With its unique blend of coastal scenery, high end resort, and vibrant atmosphere, Cabo offers an unforgettable experience for destination weddings. The area’s dramatic cliffs, vast beaches, and mountain scenery create a breathtaking setting for a wedding, while the Pacific Ocean and Sea of Cortez meeting at Cabo San Lucas provide a picturesque backdrop for exchanging vows.

Cabo boasts a variety of wedding venues, from intimate beachside locations to luxurious resort ballrooms, catering to every couple's dream wedding.

Imagine saying “I do” with the sun setting over the ocean, the waves gently crashing in the background, and the warm sand beneath your feet. Cabo San Lucas offers all this and more, making it a top choice for destination weddings. The region is also known for its luxurious resorts, which provide world-class amenities and services to ensure your wedding day is perfect. Whether you’re looking for a romantic beach ceremony or a grand celebration in a lavish ballroom, Cabo has something to offer every couple.

Consider the Location

One of the biggest factors in the cost of a Cabo wedding is the location or the venue options available, such as the Cabo Venue. There are a variety of venues to choose from, ranging from beachfront resorts to private villas to restaurants with panoramic views. Depending on the venue you choose, you may have to pay a location fee. This fee can range from $5,000 to $50,000 USD, depending on the guest count and location. For example, Pueblo Bonito Los Cabos offers several wedding packages, including the ‘Golden Ocean wedding package’ which is suitable for specific budget ranges and details guest capacity and additional costs. Another attractive option is the ‘love wedding package’, which enhances the wedding experience with unique features and services.

VERY IMPORTANT

If you’re at the beginning of your search for a wedding venue in Baja Sur, there are some important considerations to keep in mind. Before booking with a hotel, check if you’re allowed to bring in your preferred vendors. Often, hotels may charge high fees for external vendors, and even if you opt for their in-house services, it doesn’t necessarily mean they’re the best, but rather the ones that bring in the highest commissions for the hotel. As a wedding photographer based in Cabo San Lucas, I understand the importance of choosing vendors that align with your vision and budget. Don’t hesitate to inquire about vendor policies before finalizing any contracts, as this can significantly impact your wedding planning experience.

When researching wedding packages, be sure to ask about the following:

Opting for an all-inclusive wedding package can provide peace of mind, knowing that all the essential elements of your wedding are taken care of, allowing you to focus on enjoying your special day.

Food and Beverage: Planning Your Rehearsal Dinner

Food and beverage costs, including catering services, are another major expense for any wedding, and a destination wedding in Cabo is no exception. Opting for an all inclusive package can simplify food and beverage planning for your Cabo wedding, covering all your event needs such as passed appetizers for cocktail hour, wedding dinner menu (plated, buffet, or family style), open bar (at least 5 hours), and a late snack. Depending on the type of venue you choose, you can expect to pay between $280 to $375 USD + tax + service charge per person for European plan hotels or breathtaking restaurants. However, if you’re considering an all-inclusive hotel, then you can expect to pay about $185 to $250 USD per person. Keep in mind that food and beverage is less expensive on the wedding day at an all-inclusive hotel.

Photography and Video

Choosing a photographer and videographer is a critical decision for your Cabo wedding. When selecting a photographer, you need to make sure you like their style and ensure that their photo packages can capture the essence of your special day. A good coverage will be 6 to 8 hours, and that coverage, depending on the photographer, could be between $3,500 to $7,000 USD.

And remembera: after your wedding day passes, the only tangible memory you will have left are your wedding photos

Video services are not what they used to be, you don’t get 5 hours of footage like in the old days. Instead, you get a highlights video (maybe 5 to 12 min) and sometimes, if requested, the full ceremony. Keep in mind that video teams and photo teams are separate entities, and their pricing is separate as well.

So, when accounting for rentals, you should consider all the equipment and furniture that you need for your wedding, such as tables, chairs, linens, dinnerware, glassware, flatware, and more. The rental prices will vary based on the type and quality of the items you select, as well as the quantity needed for your guest count.

Importance of Hiring a Local Photographer

Hiring a local photographer is essential for capturing the beauty and essence of your Los Cabos wedding. Local photographers have extensive knowledge of the area and can recommend the best locations and times for capturing stunning photos.

When researching local photographers, be sure to ask about the following:

• Experience with destination weddings in Los Cabos: Ensure the photographer has a proven track record of shooting weddings in the area.

• References or examples of their work: Review their portfolio to see if their style matches your vision.

• Pricing and package inclusions: Understand what is included in their packages and any additional costs.

• Recommendations for locations or poses: Benefit from their local expertise to capture unique and memorable shots.

A skilled local photographer can make a significant difference in preserving the memories of your destination wedding, providing you with beautiful images to cherish for a lifetime.

MUSIC

The cost of music for your wedding can vary greatly depending on the type of entertainment you choose. DJs are a popular choice for weddings and charge approximately $300 to $400 per hour. If you prefer live music, the cost can range from a soloist at around $500 to a full band for $6,000 to $15,000 for a show.

Keep in mind that video teams and photo teams are separate entities, and their pricing is separate as well.

Decorations, Flowers, and Lighting

Creating the perfect ambiance for your Cabo wedding may include decorations, flowers, and lighting. Achieving the look and feel that you want can be pricey, and the design aspect of a wedding goes beyond flowers. Your overall cost for decor will be determined by various factors such as whether your wedding location has lighting, whether they provide tables and chairs, and whether that furniture suits your style. For florals, be aware that we are not only talking about table centerpieces, but also personal flowers, ceremony structure, aisle flowers, cocktail table mini centerpieces, seating chart touches of flor

The rental prices will vary based on the type and quality of the items you select, as well as the quantity needed for your guest count.

Wedding Planner

A wedding planner is highly recommended for any wedding, but it’s especially important for destination weddings where you may not be familiar with the local vendors and wedding planning services. A good wedding planner can help you navigate the process, find the best vendors, and manage the details on the day of the wedding. In Cabo, a wedding planner may charge anywhere from $2,000 to $10,000 or more, depending on the level of service and experience. A wedding planner can also help organize additional events like a rehearsal dinner, enhancing the overall wedding experience and contributing to a memorable and festive atmosphere.

Accommodations and Guest Services

When planning a destination wedding in Cabo, it’s essential to consider the guest accommodations and services offered by your chosen resort. Look for resorts that offer:

• All-inclusive packages: Many resorts in Cabo offer all-inclusive packages that cover meals, drinks, and activities for your guests. These packages can simplify planning and ensure that your guests have everything they need for an enjoyable stay.

• On-site wedding coordinators: Having an on-site wedding coordinator can make planning your wedding much easier and less stressful. These professionals are familiar with the local vendors and can help you navigate the planning process.

By choosing a resort that offers exceptional accommodations and guest services, you can ensure that your wedding guests have an unforgettable experience in Cabo. From the moment they arrive to the day they depart, your guests will be treated to the best that Cabo San Lucas has to offer, making your wedding celebration truly special.

Accommodation Rates

When planning a destination wedding in Los Cabos, it’s essential to consider the accommodation rates for your guests. The cost of rooms can vary greatly depending on the resort, location, and time of year. Here are some general accommodation rate ranges to expect in Los Cabos:

• All-inclusive resorts: $300-$600 per night

• Luxury resorts: $500-$1,000 per night

• Boutique hotels: $200-$500 per night

• Vacation rentals: $150-$300 per night

It’s also important to note that some resorts may offer special rates for wedding groups or packages that include accommodations, food, and activities. Be sure to ask about these options when inquiring about accommodation rates. Choosing the right accommodation can enhance your guests’ experience, making your destination wedding in Los Cabos even more memorable.

Other Expenses

In addition to the above-mentioned wedding expenses, there are other miscellaneous expenses that can add up quickly, such as transportation, hair and makeup, favors, invitations, a welcome party and more. You should account for these expenses in your overall wedding budget as well.

Now, let’s talk about how to create a wedding budget. The first step is to determine your overall budget for the wedding. This will depend on your financial situation and priorities. Once you have a total budget in mind, you can start allocating funds to the different categories mentioned above.

It’s important to prioritize what’s most important to you and allocate more funds to those areas. For example, if having a live band is a must-have for you, then you may need to allocate more funds to that category and cut back in other areas.

It’s also important to leave some wiggle room in your budget for unexpected expenses or last-minute changes. A good rule of thumb is to allocate about 10% of your total budget to contingency expenses.

When it comes to selecting vendors, it’s important to do your research and get multiple quotes. Don’t just go with the first vendor you find, as you may be able to find a better deal or better fit with another vendor.

Finally, it’s important to communicate with your vendors and be clear about your budget from the beginning. This will help avoid any surprises or misunderstandings later on.

In conclusion, the cost of a Cabo wedding will depend on a variety of factors, including the location, guest count, vendors selected, and more. However, by doing your research, prioritizing what’s important to you, and communicating clearly with your vendors, you can create a budget that works for you and have the wedding of your dreams in beautiful Cabo.

While the expenses can add up, the result is a truly unforgettable celebration in one of the world's most beautiful locations

• Flights: $500-$1,000 per person, depending on the time of year and departure city

• Airport transfers: $50-$100 per person, depending on the type of transportation and distance to the resort

• Car rentals: $40-$100 per day, depending on the type of vehicle and rental agency

• Taxi fares: $10-$20 per ride, depending on the distance and time of day

It’s also a good idea to consider booking a shuttle or transportation service for your wedding party and guests to ensure everyone arrives safely and on time.

Located at the southernmost point of the Baja California peninsula in Mexico is the well-known holiday destination of Cabo San Lucas. This charming town is popular for its almost year-round sunshine, picturesque white sandy beaches, upscale resorts, and delectable local cuisine. It's no wonder that Cabo attracts couples from all over the globe who are looking to celebrate their love, mark an anniversary, or simply escape the chaos of everyday life.

As someone who has worked in the wedding industry for years, I can confidently say that Cabo is one of the most popular and stunning locations for a destination wedding – and for good reason. With its breathtaking beaches, gorgeous villas, and endless sunshine, Cabo is the perfect place to create unforgettable moments and say "I do" to the love of your life. In this post, I'll guide you through everything you need to know to create your dream elopement in Cabo.

Choosing The Perfect Elopement Location

Choosing the perfect venue is one of the most important decisions you'll make when planning your Cabo wedding. Luckily, there are plenty of options to choose from, whether you're looking for a beachfront villa, a luxurious resort, or a private estate. One of my favorite venues is the Esperanza Resort, located on the breathtaking Punta Ballena peninsula. This stunning resort offers everything from intimate ceremonies on the beach to grand ballroom receptions, making it the perfect choice for couples of all styles and preferences.

If you're at the beginning of your search for a wedding venue in Baja Sur, there are some important considerations to keep in mind. Before booking with a hotel, check if you're allowed to bring in your preferred vendors. Often, hotels may charge high fees for external vendors, and even if you opt for their in-house services, it doesn't necessarily mean they're the best, but rather the ones that bring in the highest commissions for the hotel. As a wedding photographer based in Cabo San Lucas, I understand the importance of choosing vendors that align with your vision and budget. Don't hesitate to inquire about vendor policies before finalizing any contracts, as this can significantly impact your wedding planning experience.

Cabo Elopement Packages and Prices

When it comes to elopement packages, there are plenty of options to choose from in Cabo. Most packages include everything from ceremony and reception venues to photography, flowers, and catering. Some of the most popular packages include the "Barefoot Elopement" package from Cabo Beach Weddings, which offers a romantic beach ceremony for two, complete with a photographer, a bouquet, and a bottle of champagne.

Prices for elopement packages in Cabo vary depending on the size of your wedding and the services you require. On average, you can expect to spend between $5,000 and $10,000 for a small elopement, and between $20,000 and $30,000 for a larger wedding with all the trimmings.

Planning Your Cabo Destination Wedding

Planning a destination wedding can be overwhelming, but with the right team by your side, it can also be a breeze. When planning your Cabo wedding, it's important to work with a local wedding planner who knows the area and can help you navigate the logistics of planning a wedding in a foreign country. Some of the top wedding planners in Cabo include Amy Abbott Events, Elena Damy, and Linens, Things and More.

It's also important to plan your wedding well in advance, as venues and vendors can book up quickly. I recommend starting the planning process at least 12 months in advance to ensure that you have plenty of time to create your dream wedding.

Legal Requirements for Getting Married in Cabo

Getting married in Cabo is relatively easy, but there are a few legal requirements that you'll need to meet in order to make your marriage official. You'll need to provide a valid passport, a tourist permit, and a blood test that is no more than 14 days old. You'll also need to have four witnesses present at your wedding ceremony, and you'll need to obtain a marriage certificate from the local registry office.

Cabo Officiant

If you're planning to elope in Cabo, you'll want to be aware of the officiating process. In Mexico, a legal marriage ceremony must be performed by a judge. If you choose to have a judge officiate your wedding, you may need to pay an additional travel fee to have them come to your location.

However, if you prefer to have a symbolic ceremony, which means that the legal paperwork was done at home, you have the flexibility to choose who officiates your ceremony. Many couples opt to have a friend or family member officiate, which can add a personal touch to the proceedings.

It's important to note that if you do choose to have a friend or family member officiate, they will not be able to legally marry you. Your marriage will be considered a symbolic ceremony and you will still need to complete the legal paperwork separately.

Witnesses

In addition to an officiant, you'll need witnesses to sign your marriage license. In Mexico, four witnesses are required to sign the marriage license. If you're having a guest-less elopement, any of your elopement vendors can sign as a witness.

However, it's important to ensure that your witnesses have a valid passport, as this is required to sign the marriage license. If necessary, resorts are usually able to provide witnesses for an additional fee.

Getting married in Cabo can be a beautiful and memorable experience, but it's important to understand the legal requirements beforehand. Whether you choose to have a judge officiate your wedding or opt for a symbolic ceremony with a friend or family member officiating, be sure to have your witnesses in order to make your marriage legal.

Activities and Attractions for Your Cabo Wedding Guests

One of the best things about getting married in Cabo is that there are plenty of activities and attractions for your wedding guests to enjoy. Some of the most popular attractions include the El Arco de Cabo San Lucas, a stunning rock formation at the southern tip of the Baja Peninsula, and the Todos Santos Art District, a charming town filled with galleries, shops, and restaurants.

For adventure seekers, there are plenty of options for outdoor activities, including snorkeling, whale watching, and zip-lining. And for those who prefer a more relaxing vacation, there are plenty of beaches, spas, and golf courses to enjoy.

Cabo San Lucas Wedding Etiquette

When it comes to wedding etiquette in Cabo, there are a few things to keep in mind. First and foremost, it's important to be respectful of the local culture and customs. This means dressing appropriately (especially when visiting churches or other religious sites), being mindful of noise levels, and avoiding excessive public displays of affection.

It's also important to communicate clearly with your guests about any expectations or requirements for your wedding day. This includes dress code, transportation, and any cultural norms that may be unfamiliar to your guests.

Testimonials and Reviews from Previous Cabo Wedding Clients

Don't just take my word for it – there are plenty of happy couples who have tied the knot in Cabo and have glowing reviews to share. Reading reviews from previous clients can give you a better sense of what to expect and help you make informed decisions when planning your wedding.

Conclusion and Final Thoughts

If you're dreaming of a destination wedding in a stunning location with plenty of sunshine, Cabo should definitely be at the top of your list. With its beautiful beaches, luxurious villas, and endless activities, Cabo has everything you need to create unforgettable moments and start your new life together. Whether you're planning an intimate elopement or a grand celebration, Cabo is the perfect place to say "I do."

As a wedding photographer with years of experience documenting destination weddings in Mexico, I can say without a doubt that Los Cabos is one of the most beautiful and romantic destinations for a villa wedding. With its stunning beaches, clear blue waters, and breathtaking landscapes, it's no wonder so many couples choose to exchange their vows in this idyllic location.

In this ultimate guide, I will walk you through everything you need to know about planning your dream wedding in a villa in Los Cabos. From selecting the perfect villa to choosing the right wedding planner and vendors, to legal requirements and paperwork, I've got you covered.

Benefits of Having a Villa Wedding in Los Cabos

There are many benefits to having a villa wedding in Los Cabos. One of the biggest advantages is that it allows you to have complete control over your wedding. You can choose the location, the vendors, and the decor that best suits your vision for your special day. You can also customize your wedding to reflect your personal style and preferences.

Another advantage of a villa wedding is that it provides a more intimate and private setting for your wedding.

This for me is super important. Unlike a hotel or resort, where you may be sharing the space with other guests, a villa offers exclusive use of the property. This means that you and your guests can enjoy the wedding festivities without any distractions or interruptions.

Lastly, a villa wedding in Los Cabos is more cost-effective than a traditional wedding. You can save money on venue fees, catering, and other expenses by hosting your wedding at a villa. Plus, you can turn your wedding into a vacation for you and your guests by renting a villa for a longer period of time.

Factors to Consider When Selecting a Villa for Your Wedding

You should also consider the location of the villa and whether it offers the amenities and services you need for your wedding.

Another important factor to consider is the style and decor of the villa. You want to choose a villa that reflects your personal style and complements the theme of your wedding. You should also consider the outdoor space and whether it is suitable for a ceremony and reception.

Lastly, you need to consider the cost of the villa and whether it fits within your budget. It's important to remember that the cost of the villa is not the only expense you will incur for your wedding. You will also need to budget for catering, decor, entertainment, and other expenses.

Planning a Destination Wedding in Mexico - Legal Requirements and Paperwork

If you're planning a destination wedding in Mexico, there are several legal requirements and paperwork that you need to be aware of. First, you need to obtain a marriage license from the local Civil Registry Office. You will also need to have a blood test and provide other documentation, such as proof of identity and marital status.

It's important to note that the legal requirements for getting married in Mexico can vary depending on the state and municipality where you plan to get married. It's best to work with a wedding planner who is familiar with the local laws and requirements to ensure that your wedding is legally recognized.

Choosing the Right Wedding Planner in Los Cabos

Cabo San Lucas is also called as Los Cabos or CABO

At the southern tip of Mexico’s Baja Peninsula lies a twin town: Cabo San Lucas and San Jose del Cabo with panoramic desert landscapes and turquoise waters. Cabo or also named Los Cabos is home to the world’s most popular tourist destinations, including The Arch, also known as “Land’s End,” where the Sea of Cortes meets with the Pacific Ocean. Las Cabos also boasts iconic natural landmarks, historical monuments, and top-class hotels and restaurants perfect for the ultimate destination wedding experience.

There is nothing more romantic than to walk on its pearly white shores and to say your vows to the sound of its gentle waves. The best part? The wedding itself is already the honeymoon! What’s that for saving time and money? 

VERY IMPORTANT

If you're at the beginning of your search for a wedding venue in Baja Sur, there are some important considerations to keep in mind. Before booking with a hotel, check if you're allowed to bring in your preferred vendors. Often, hotels may charge high fees for external vendors, and even if you opt for their in-house services, it doesn't necessarily mean they're the best, but rather the ones that bring in the highest commissions for the hotel. As a wedding photographer based in Cabo San Lucas, I understand the importance of choosing vendors that align with your vision and budget. Don't hesitate to inquire about vendor policies before finalizing any contracts, as this can significantly impact your wedding planning experience.

Los Cabos Wedding Photographer: Styles for your Cabo Wedding - Blog | GV Photographer

One of the most exciting parts about the wedding industry is how diverse the styles can be – and wedding photography is no exception. Now more than ever before, photographers are expanding into new horizons and challenging themselves (and others!) to be more creative and unique.

Planning a wedding in Cabo can be an exciting time for some couples who have a clear vision of the style they want. However, for others, choosing a destination wedding photographer can be a daunting task. Photography is an essential element in any wedding as it captures special moments that will be remembered forever. That’s why it’s important to find a photographer who captures the essence of the wedding and the personality of the couple. Additionally, it’s important to choose a photographer who has experience in beach weddings (sometimes can be very hot and extremely bright in Cabo) and is comfortable working in these conditions. Skilled photographers utilize their camera to capture moments that might otherwise go unnoticed.

With all of the changes and growth that have happened over the last decade, I wanted to highlight a few of the key factors involved when finding a Cabo wedding photographer who has a style you love.

Putting Things Into Categories

Nowadays, almost all wedding photographers do both candid and posed formal photographs. However, the degree in which any given photographer engages in concern for aesthetics, emotion, raw events, etc. during various parts of your wedding day may vary greatly. Also, there are discernible editing styles that should be taken into consideration.

Many wedding photographers also specialize in fashion photography, capturing not just moments but also the essence and style of the event.

“You’ll want to choose a photographer with an established editing style. Otherwise, you won’t really know what you’re getting in the end. ”

Putting Things Into Categories

I have found that style can be broken into two polarized segments, each segment containing a few main styles. The two segments are Perspective Approach and Editing Style.

Approach has to do with the type of perspective the photographer embraces in regards to capturing photos.

Editing style has to do with the overarching way the photographer edits their photos

There are many “sub approaches and styles”, so these two segments don’t necessarily put photographers into a box. Many photographers may embrace a hybrid approach, falling somewhere in between. Also, almost all photographers will take some candids. These terms are just useful in helpful you decide on the basic approach and style of photographers you’re considering.

Generally speaking, you’ll want to choose a photographer with an established editing style. Otherwise, you won’t really know what you’re getting in the end. Editing can be a very involved process, and their are usually techniques that require a lot of specialization.

So, unless you want a jack-of-all-trades-master-of-none, your safest bet is to find a photographer whose style is consistent. Otherwise, you might hire them for one reason, only later to decide you dislike their edits.

Choosing the Perfect Wedding Photography Style

Choosing the perfect wedding photography style is a crucial decision that can make or break the memories of your big day. With so many talented photographers in Los Cabos, Mexico, it can be overwhelming to decide on the right style that suits your taste and preferences. To make the right choice, consider the following factors:

• Your Personal Style: Think about the type of photography that resonates with you. Do you like classic and elegant, or modern and trendy? Your personal style will play a significant role in determining the photography style that best captures your essence.

• Your Wedding Theme: Consider the theme and atmosphere of your wedding. If you’re having a beach wedding, a photographer with a natural and relaxed style might be the best fit. On the other hand, a luxury wedding might benefit from a more sophisticated and elegant photography style.

• Your Budget: Different photography styles can vary in price. Set a budget and look for photographers who offer the style you want within your price range. Remember, investing in a professional wedding photographer in Los Cabos can ensure that your special day is captured beautifully.

Understanding Your Personal Style

Understanding your personal style is essential in choosing the perfect wedding photography style. Take some time to reflect on what makes you unique and what you want to capture on your special day. Consider the following:

• Your Fashion Sense: Think about the type of clothing and accessories you like to wear. If you’re a fan of bold and bright colors, a photographer with a vibrant and playful style might be the best fit. Your fashion sense can provide valuable insights into the photography style that will best capture your personality.

• Your Personality: Are you outgoing and adventurous, or more reserved and intimate? A photographer who understands your personality can help capture your true essence. Whether you prefer candid moments or posed shots, your personality should shine through in your wedding photos.

• Your Wedding Vision: Think about the type of wedding you want to have. If you’re planning a romantic and intimate ceremony, a photographer with a soft and romantic style might be the best choice. Your wedding vision will guide you in selecting a photography style that aligns with the atmosphere and emotions of your special day.

Perspective Approaches: Photojournalistic vs Editorial Wedding Photography

: Photographers who focus on storytelling through images can be considered as having a photojournalistic style. This work captures authentic moments, including candid shots of wedding

But it also often involves taking photographs that showcase a variety of details as they lay, helping the foray of photos come together cohesively so as to tell the story of the wedding couple and their big day. One of the biggest aspects of photojournalism is letting the day happen naturally, and capturing photos that weren't structured or guided by the photographer. guests and the bridal party throughout the day. 

Editorial Approach: Editorial photographers tend to more deeply focus on aesthetics and achieving a certain style of poses. These photographers are typically a lot more focused on posing their subjects and creating drama through angles and positioning. They may also be a lot more experienced with styling photos of details.

The strength of this style is that it can achieve aesthetically beautiful photos. However, many brides and grooms are less concerned with fashion poses and more concerned with the story and natural unfolding of emotions and interactions throughout the wedding day.

Popular Photography Styles for Cabo Weddings

Los Cabos, Mexico, is a popular destination for weddings, and there are many talented photographers who specialize in capturing the beauty of this stunning location. Here are some popular photography styles for Cabo weddings:

• Beachy and Relaxed: Many couples choose a beach wedding in Cabo, and a photographer with a natural and relaxed style can capture the beauty of the ocean and the laid-back atmosphere. This style is perfect for those who want to embrace the serene and picturesque surroundings of Cabo San Lucas.

• Elegant and Sophisticated: If you’re planning a luxury wedding in Cabo, a photographer with an elegant and sophisticated style can capture the glamour and opulence of your special day. This style focuses on creating timeless and refined images that reflect the grandeur of your wedding.

• Vibrant and Colorful: Cabo is known for its vibrant culture and colorful landscapes, and a photographer with a bold and playful style can capture the energy and excitement of your wedding. This style is ideal for couples who want their photos to be full of life and color, reflecting the lively spirit of Mexico.

A Hybrid Approach

At the crossroads of these two approaches is a mixture. This mixture involves telling the story of the day like a photojournalist, while also taking a more hands-on approach to giving helpful instruction on things to produce a more aesthetic photo.

A hybrid approach can also be beneficial for capturing family portraits and special moments with loved ones during the wedding.

This might include suggesting to stand in good light when getting into your dress vs a just letting you stand where you end up. Or another example would be the photographer providing tips on posing so that you can feel more confident to relax and just be yourself during portraits (instead of worrying about what to do with your hands!).

My Personal Approach for weddings:

It is to position myself to capture raw candids as they occur as well as gently and undistracting guide you into flattering scene and to care for your basic “posing needs” so that you can look and feel your best, while still remaining candid and photojournalistic. I also tend to approach details in an aesthetic and styled manner when possible, helping to balance out my documentary approach.

Editing Styles: Dark and Moody vs Neutral vs Bright and Airy

Dark and moody photographers may take photos of a generally bright and colorful seen and turn them different colors, tones, also making them more underexposed in order to produce their style. Some brides and grooms like this because of the drama or intrigue the altered colors can create, while others prefer a more natural or bright look. 

Pros: Can be “different” and/or dramatic.

Cons: Can greatly alter colors and create an unnatural look. Some fear it being “trendy”.

Natural/Neutral photographers will usually aim to represent things as they actually were. If the theme, lighting, etc. were bright, the photos will be bright. If the theme, lighting, etc. was darker and moodier, the photos will be darker and moodier.

Pros: Accurately preserves the original look—allowing the photos to be bright or moody.

Cons: May be a bit boring to some. 

Brighter and airy photographers generally aim to make everything look bright—even brighter than it actually was. Some people like this because it looks so bright, but others may be concerned that they are losing detail in the highlights. 

Pros: May appear very “ethereal” and pretty.

Cons: You can lose detail or photos may appear annoyingly bright to some.

My style tends to land somewhere between the neutral, bright/airy and colorful editing style. I want everything to appear very natural, or to bring in detail that may have otherwise been lost in the shadows. I also aim to preserve highlight details, such as your wedding dress in the sunshine. My goal is to give you an image that has the most about of preserved detail as possible. This allows me to create both “bright and airy” looking photos, while allowing me to also produce photos with interesting lighting and drama.

How I Define my Style

When I photograph and edit my work, I strive to be true to color in real life. I love the richness and variety that colors offer us so much that I don't find the need (or want) to change how they appear in photographs from how we saw them on the day of the wedding.

I also LOVE to focus on a authentic moments and play with creative posed shots.

You are doing fantastic, narrowed it down to the one and only most magical place, but now, where in Cabo?

Most Common Destination Wedding Mistakes I´ve seen in Los Cabos

Well, you just got to the point of reaching for help or else this is about to become overwhelming, Los Cabos is the home to tons of magnificent options, before you go any further, get a local pro to guide you through this process! 

Here is a list with the biggest destination wedding mistakes I found in my 14 years of los cabos destination wedding photographer.

Comparing totally different things. 

Planning a wedding is a big task, no wonder why there are people that specialize in it! 

But a Destination Wedding is not just simply a wedding, it is something else!!! 

Don’t make the mistake of assuming that your destination wedding can be compared with your cousin’s, co-worker’s or friend’s back home wedding. A destination wedding entails tons of unknowns that your friends and colleges did not even have to deal with, room blocks, guest list resort, restrictions, event transportation, currency rates, weather conditions, flowers, language barriers…

Creating a realistic wedding timeline is important for several reasons:

1. It ensures that all events and activities occur in a logical and orderly fashion.

2. It allows you to coordinate the arrival and departure times of vendors and other service providers, such as caterers, photographers, and musicians.

3. It helps you plan the flow of the wedding day, including the order of events, such as the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception.

4. It helps you and your wedding party stay on schedule and avoid delays or confusion.

5. It helps you plan your wedding day so that you can spend time enjoying the company of your guests and celebrating your special day, instead of worrying about the logistics.

Creating a wedding timeline with the help of your wedding planner or using a wedding planning app, can be helpful for the couple to have a stress-free day.

Going over the wedding budget:

It's easy to get caught up in the excitement of planning a wedding and overspend on things that aren't important when you are planning a destination wedding.

Overthinking on hiring local pros.

I have often received comments from couples who are hesitant to hire my photo services because they are comparing me with their hometown photographer, well, it is up to you to hire whomever you feel more comfortable with, but a local pro is a local pro, you can rest assure that as a local vendor, I will not be texting you on your big day asking how is the best way to get to your wedding location, and I will surely not be causing any stress when I get to security gate at least 45 min before my actual shooting time to register every single piece of equipment, I know how each property works and most importantly, I have seen so many cool spots for wedding photos, because well, this is not my first rodeo!!! 

Not trusting your wedding team. 

Communicating your wishes, ideas and vision is a MUST, you have to ensure you express well your desires, when you choose right, your wedding team will always deliver what you have in mind. 

A piece of advice in here, will be to also listen to your wedding team suggestions and recommendations, they will get what you want but they are the ones that know the how!

My friends can take photos. 

Not because I am a photographer but, once your most whimsical day is over, you will be left with something that will be become too valuable: memories! Make sure you give this huge responsibility to a pro, who will be doing nothing but focusing on capturing your day!!! 

Can you imagine your friend was hitting the bar while you were doing your grand entrance with cold sparklers? 

A playlist should do it. 

What makes a movie so grand? Without a doubt: its soundtrack!!! 

Brides who have decided not to hire a DJ or a Band, regret not having their wedding ceremony processional coordinated, not having their special dances faded, not having a pro MC to announce every special happening, make sure that couple is not you.

Wrong time of the year.

Cabo is a stunning and fabulous location, we have the most amazing weather almost all year round, yet, I have seen some couples choose the wrong time of the year: August or September, be sure you select the correct wedding date. A good travel agent I´m sure could help you with this or you can ask to local vendor in Los cabos area.

These two months are the hottest and most humid times, we rarely have rain in Cabo, luckily us, this is a glorious desert, but if we do, that is during these two months. Always have a plan B in case bad weather. Check the right venue that can offer you an inside ceremony, bad weather in Cabo is weir I would say only rains 20 days in aregular year, but could be one possibility and more during the summer.

If rain is not a problem, the inclement weather may play an important role, can you imagine yourself in your amazing wedding gown, dying of heat? Horrible, I know! 

Planning a wedding can be overwhelming, so it's important to delegate tasks to friends and family to help lighten the load. Many brides

Not properly delegating tasks:

Planning a wedding can be overwhelming, so it's important to delegate tasks to friends and family to help lighten the load. Many brides  try to do everything by themself

• Decorating. For the love of all that is weddings do not decorate your own ceremony/reception. ...

• Day of Contact for Vendors. ...

• Your Calls and Text Messages. ...

• Timekeeping. ...

• Eating. ...

• Family Wrangling. ...

• Wedding Gifts.

• Day of Payments. If you can, pay your vendors before the wedding. ...

What about my wedding gown?

You have said yes to your better half, you have decided on a destination, booked a venue and now you are in search of the most amazing wedding outfit: dress, veil, shoes, jewelry, hair and make up look!!! Aww, this is definitely exciting, well, hold on for a minute and let’s think about the wedding day and its locations. We know it will surely be a long day and you will be wearing your superb dress, shoes and accessories all day, wait a minute, did I just wrote ALL DAY? Yes, I did, so make sure that you understand that as breathtaking as a wedding day can be, it could also be a tad tiring. So make sure you either choose comfortable footwear or get two pairs!!! The ones for just the key moments and the ones for all the running around and the dancing part!!!

The Wedding Dress and its Bustle.

Your wedding dress must be a secret to your fiancé but not to your mom or bridesmaids, make sure that you delegate the super important task of helping you put on the dress to a specific person and ensure this person and you practice before, the last thing you want on the wedding day is to be stressing over not making it in time for your ceremony because no one can help you with the dress.

Also, most wedding dresses require a bustle at one point, most wedding planners are pros at doing so, but just to make sure, have also your maid of honor practice this with you beforehand. 

Getting into your wedding dress:

Practice putting on your dress before the big day. This will help you get a feel for how the dress goes on and any potential issues you may encounter.

1. Have someone help you with the buttons, zippers, and snaps on your dress. This will make the process much easier and less frustrating.

   1. Make sure your undergarments are on before putting on your dress. This will help avoid any unsightly lines or wrinkles in your dress.

   2. If your dress has a lot of layers or a long train, make sure you have someone to hold it while you put it on.

   3. Be mindful of your hair and makeup while putting on your dress. Avoid getting any makeup or hair products on your dress.

   4. Have a backup plan in case of any accidents or mishaps. It's always a good idea to have a needle and thread or a stain remover on hand.

   5. Allow yourself enough time to get into your dress. Don't rush or put yourself under unnecessary stress.

   6. Take deep breaths and relax. Remember that this is your special day and try to enjoy the experience.

Scheduling too many activities. 

I am sure you want to create the most memorable experience for your wedding guests but there is a fine line from AMAZING to EXHAUSTING. 

Just be mindful of your guests’s time, consider their trips hours, and make sure you account for their time to enjoy Cabo and time for them to get ready and be punctual attending to your events.  A wedding website could be a great way to comunicate with your guests

Welcome Party.

In most destination weddings, couples like hosting at least two events, a Party to welcome family and friends or Rehearsal Dinner and The Wedding. 

Per previous experiences, I have seen brides, grooms, maid of honors, best men, totally devastated on the wedding day, suffering and surviving the day rather than enjoying it, but why is that? Plain and simple, they had too much fun the night before! Now based on experience, wether you organize a fun beach party, a formal dinner and dancing or a sunset cruise, I would always recommend hosting this additional and previous event two nights before, this way bride and groom and every guest can experience the night at its fullest and have all day before the wedding to recover. 

Not prioritizing!!! 

Visualize your wedding week, what’s the most important thing for you? 

The Ceremony? Civil ceremony or a simbolic ceremony? Photos? Drinks? Whatever that is, make sure that you account for it ALWAYS!!! If photos are your thing, consider at all times, that it will be a long day and that things don’t just happen they are planned, make sure that you communicate your MUST HAVE and have them written, you don’t want the wedding event to be over and realize that you missed that photo you had your eye set on for months.

Not allowing enough time for pictures:

Allow enough time for wedding portraits and group shots, so you don't feel rushed or stressed on your special day.

Too much sun. 

Last but not least, my friend if you have taken the time to read this, all the way to this last number, wedding photos are important to you and I congratulate you for it, they are the most important for me too, now to ensure that you look at your absolute best, it is super important to take care of your skin, SUNSCREEN always, drink tons of water and pass this advise not only to your significant other but also to your wedding party and all your wedding guests. 

VERY IMPORTANT

If you're at the beginning of your search for a wedding venue in Baja Sur, there are some important considerations to keep in mind. Before booking with a hotel, check if you're allowed to bring in your preferred vendors. Often, hotels may charge high fees for external vendors, and even if you opt for their in-house services, it doesn't necessarily mean they're the best, but rather the ones that bring in the highest commissions for the hotel. As a wedding photographer based in Cabo San Lucas, I understand the importance of choosing vendors that align with your vision and budget. Don't hesitate to inquire about vendor policies before finalizing any contracts, as this can significantly impact your wedding planning experience.

Cabo Wedding: Mar del Cabo

Design and decor: @cabolinensthingsandmore⁠

Planning: @creativedestinationevents⁠

Music: @djmijares

Wedding Dress: Lovers Society - Freja Gown.

Q1: Tell us about your wedding! What was the inspiration behind

your day? Did you have a specific theme, style, or color palette? Did

you incorporate any cultural or religious traditions in any part of your

day?

Cabo has always been such a special place for Brandon and me. We

went on our first trip together in Cabo and he also proposed there -

so we knew we always would get married in Cabo. We stuck to a

pretty neutral color palette with lots of greens. Whites, golds, and

palm frown surrounded the area and we loved it!

Q2: Let´s talk wedding decor. How did you decorate your space for

the ceremony and the reception? Was any part of the decor DIY?

We kept it simple with the altar as a large circle with large pampas

and greenery wrapped around the sides. It was perfect for the

ceremony with the beautiful ocean view in the background. My

favorite part of the reception was the bride and groom table. We had

large wicker chairs and a macrame draping behind us that said “The

Mercades”.

Q3: What were the florals like in your wedding? Did you use flowers

in any of your design elements like the bridal bouquets, centerpieces, or ceremony backdrop? Did they play an important part in the overall

style of your wedding?

We kept the florals to lots of greens with touches of white. The

bouquets were large beach greenery and went really well with the

overall vibe of the beach wedding. We used the bridesmaids

bouquets for the bride and grooms centerpiece of the table and it

looked great and really tied everything together.

Q4: Did you personalize the day in any way (food trucks, guest

entertainment, etc.)? What were some of your favorite parts of

your wedding?

After the ceremony, we did personalized intros announcing each duo

of the wedding party. Each came out to their own songs and did a

short dance as they came out and it was really fun and really set the

tone for the whole reception! We also decided on not doing a wedding

cake and instead did a churro bar with different dipping options!

Q5: Let´s talk fashion. How did you both choose your wedding day

look? Describe the looks in detail.

I always knew I wanted a fitted dress with a v neck and low back.

When I found my particular dress I knew it was the one right away. It

had a really unique lining on the top and my veil lining matched that

same pattern which I thought was a nice detailed touch. Brandon

wanted something simple, no jackets only button-down white shirts

with dark navy pants and brown shoes. Brandon got all of his

groomsmen unique wooden watches that really tied the looks

together also!

Q6: How did you meet? 

Tell us about the proposal.

We met at a bar in Santa Monica. I was actually on my way to a date

and stopped to meet friends for a drink before the date. Brandon was

at the place I stopped in for a drink and the rest is history! I canceled

my date that night and Brandon and I have been together ever since.

Brandon surprised me with a proposal in Cabo during NYE 2018. It

was my best friend's birthday so he knew I would never think he would

propose then, but my best friend was in on it. We went for a walk on

the beach and he had an entire blank, lights, sign set up that said “Will

you marry me?” and I was completely surprised and it was amazing!

Q7: What was the most anticipated or special moment of your

wedding day?

The most anticipated was the first look, I was so excited to see

Brandon after not seeing or talking to him all day! We were also really

nervous and excited to say our own vows in front of everyone. That

was the most special moment by far that definitely included some

happy tears!

Q8: Do you have any wedding planning or marriage advice that you´d

like to share with other couples planning their day?

One thing we did was created a shared Pinterest board so we could

see how our two styles could come together into one. It turned out

really well! We also made sure to be in constant communication with

each other throughout the entire process. If there was something that

really meant a lot for me to have at the wedding I made sure to let

Brandon know so we could make sure that happened and did less of

something else if needed to make it fit our budget. I would also say,

try to make sure you have fun! The wedding planning process can get

stressful, but it’s a fun time in your life and you should enjoy every

moment of it!

  Forget the obvious cost savings, you will be getting married in Los Cabos. This isn’t a fantasy, this is real life! Instead of worrying about those pesky food and beverage minimums, horrific catering rules, and worrying about hosting all the out-of-town families in your home for weeks before and after… Your biggest concern when choosing a Cabo destination wedding will be selecting just one venue that fits your needs when there are SO many to choose from. I hear almost every week when working with new clients how they never expected to fall in love with so many options.

  Smaller and more intimate wedding parties
  I mentioned it before and we will definitely mention it again and again - the beauty of an Indian destination wedding is that you (the bride and groom) get to spend this intimate time with the people you actually want there - your family and closest friends. Those who you are inviting out of formality are less likely to feel obligated to come to your destination wedding (let’s be honest… your mom’s best friend’s nephew’s piano teacher really doesn’t need to be at your wedding). Cabo destination weddings are all about you and all your besties having the time of your lives - now that is a memory worth making!

  Great for couples that have friends and family scattered around the world

  With so many clients of our having families and friends from all over the US and the world, it makes total sense to have people fly to somewhere exotic if they are going to fly anyways! Wouldn’t it be amazing to have them join you in paradise instead of your local banquet hall? Amazing places like Los Cabos, Mexico or the Caribbean are super accessible and easy to get to for most guests (which is always a plus!).

• Don’t bother me, I’m on vacation!

  I definitely must mention that you are doing them a big big favor by planning this group vacation - it’s one of those things everyone wants to do, but no one has the bandwidth to plan. You and your guests will get to experience the many amenities our partner resorts have to offer (the list of activities is endless). If choosing a destination such as Cabo, Cancun or Puerto Vallarta, you will get the chance to visit amazing places as Cabo San Lucas, San Jose del Cabo, Tulum, Cozumel, Chichen Itza, or Isla Mujeres - all located near the area. Pyramids, scuba diving, zip lines, swimming with dolphins, underwater caves… You name it and we are sure we got it! Your wedding is the main attraction, but that doesn’t mean there can’t be a dozen other ones for your guests to enjoy!

Thank you,

Solaz Los Cabos Sunset beach portraits for an epic love story

Being a Cabo San Lucas photographer is a dream come true for anyone who enjoys gorgeous natural landscapes and beautiful secluded beaches. I couldn’t have asked for a more photogenic and happy couple. My favorite part about this glamorous beach engagement photoshoot was exactly how happy Sayeh and Amir were together.

Let me tell you when they first contact me for their Persian wedding in Los Cabos I was super excited, after a few emails and a few phone calls (Amir speaks a little bit of Spanish, how awesome) I Knew their wedding would be epic. So we planned this sunset session in one of their trips to Cabo before their wedding CLICK HERE TO SEE THEIR CABO WEDDING DAY

We started with a few pictures around the resort: Solaz Los Cabos. Then we go to take a few pictures in the middle of the desert, with the mountains behind and finally we had an epic sunset at the beach.

Sayeh and Amirs Cabo engagement portraits took place during one of their visits to Cabo to organize their destination wedding at the Lusuxry Solaz Resort.
