Drift San Jose Del Cabo Wedding and Elopement Photography Service.

Are you searching for a Wedding or Event photographer in Drift San Jose Del Cabo? 

I have been covering over 220 weddings since July 2014, and I can say that I am full of advice and help for your big day.

My couples are similar and so different at the same time. I would say that they have certain similar characteristics, they prefer to spend time with their families and friends rather than spend an hour taking a couple of photos, they are usually shy, they don’t feel at ease being the center of attention, they have a certain knowledge about art, sometimes photography and painting.

Do you want to have an intimate wedding in Mexico that reflects your journey as a couple, your passions, and your spirit of adventure? 
This is elopement photography for couples who want to ignore tradition and get married in a way that feels authentic to them. As a photographer, my purpose is to discreetly capture the story of your day in an honest and heartfelt way, without posing or intruding. I will record every aspect, from the raw emotions and poignant moments as they unfold, to the details you won’t want to forget.

I care deeply about creating meaningful connections with every couple who invites me to be a part of their journey. My approach is to innovate, not to conform to conventions. Your elopement experience should be as personal, genuine, and unique as you are.

Emotional Photographer documenting emotional Weddings.

Since July 2014, I have documented your intimate wedding, Minimony, Sequel Wedding, Microwedding or Adventurous Elopement, proposal, and engagement, and I have seen a lot of love stories, full of joy and emotions. It has a lot of different names, but only the story matters. I am moved by you telling the story of your day in the most natural and genuine way possible. No need to spend one hour behind the church with me to take the couple's photographs, I will always value letting you spend time with family and friends. This is your day, not mine.

Most of my couples define themselves as shy in front of the camera, and I believe simply that they don’t know how easy it is to spend a few simple moments with their partner in front of my camera. I will follow you from getting ready to the dance floor in the most natural way possible. to deliver a poetic and unique vision of the most important day of your life.
I have a lot of experience and expertise in traveling around Europe mostly. For the last 6 years, I have covered most of my weddings abroad and overseas.


I believe I can help you with my experience and advice for a perfect wedding day. I have prepared some articles to help you to find the right place to get married or to be inspired in some places like Spain, The Balearic Islands such as Ibiza, Mallorca,… Mexico, Morocco, and of course Portugal. I have also written an article about the most underrated locations in Europe to have your small and intimate wedding with friends.

A bit of History about Drift San Jose Del Cabo.


 

Baja California Sur, officially the Free and Sovereign State of Baja California Sur , is one of the thirty-one states that together with Mexico City make up Mexico . Its capital and most populous city is La Paz . It is divided into five municipalities .

It is located in the southern part of the Baja California peninsula in the northwestern region of the country , bordering Baja California to the north , the Gulf of California to the east, and the Pacific Ocean to the south and west . With 73,909 km² it represents 3.8% of the national territory 9 being the ninth largest federal entity in the country behind Chihuahua , Sonora , Coahuila , Durango , Oaxaca , Tamaulipas , Jalisco and Zacatecas .

Its census population in 2020 was 798,447 inhabitants, which represents 0.6% of the total population, being the second least populated entity 10 behind Colima and the first least densely populated; Said population is distributed as 91% urban and 9% rural. Due to its low population it contributes only 0.9% to the national GDP, being the fourth entity that contributes the least behind Tlaxcala , Colima and Nayarit ; Its main economic activity is trade . In 2019 it obtained a Human Development Index of 0.804 — considered very high— Being one of the six states with an HDI at that level and the fourth state with the highest HDI behind Mexico City , Baja California and Nuevo León .

As a subnational entity once the Mexican federation was formed in 1824, it was constituted as part of the territory of Baja California . Said territory was divided in 1930 and acquired its current area as the Southern territory of Baja California . It was not until October 8, 1974 when it was promoted to a free and sovereign state —together with Quintana Roo— being the thirty-first state in order of union and, consequently, the youngest in the country.

Three of the thirty-five World Heritage Sites of Mexico are located within its territory . One cultural: the cave paintings of the Sierra de San Francisco and two natural: the El Vizcaíno Whale Sanctuary and the Islands and protected areas of the Gulf of California , sharing the latter with Baja California, Sonora, Sinaloa and Nayarit .
