Are you searching for a Wedding or Event photographer in Sonadora Resort ?
I have been covering over 170 Weddings since July 2014, I can say that I am full of advises 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 spending an hour for taking the couple photos, they are usually shy, they don’t feel at ease to be the center of the attention, they have a certain knowledge about art, sometimes photography and painting.
Do you want to have an intimate wedding in Sonadora Resort that reflects your journey as a couple, your passions and your spirit of adventure?
This is elopement photography for couples who want 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 document your intimate wedding, your 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 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 photographs, I will always value to let 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, I believe simply they dont know how easy it is to spend a few simple moments with their partner in front of my camera. I will follow you from the 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.

A bit of History about Sonadora Resort, La Paz, Mexico.
La Paz is the capital city of the Mexican state of Baja California Sur and in turn head of the municipality of La Paz , located south of the Bahía de la Paz , on the coast of the Gulf of California , south of the Baja California peninsula .
It is located to the south of the Baja California peninsula in the Bay of Peace, 210 kilometers south of Ciudad Constitución , municipality of Comondú and 202 kilometers north of Cabo San Lucas , municipality of Los Cabos. It is located 81 km north of the magical town of Todos Santos . Its geographical coordinates are 24 ° 08′32 ″ N and parallel 110 ° 18′39 ″ W, it has an altitude of 0 to 27 meters above sea level. It is one of the three capitals of the country that are on the sea coast.
The consolidation of tourism as the main source of resources has brought to the capital city a series of problems underlying the natural resources destined for the construction of hyper-modern tourist complexes. The city of La Paz, due to its desert characteristics and low rainfall (less than 200 mm per year), has historically suffered from problems of water supply for the population . The overexploitation of the aquifers has put into question the tourist vocation of the city, which has led to rethinking and seriously thinking about its future based on the availability of water resources.
There is currently a debate on whether to dig deeper wells to extract the water or install water purification plants. This problem has been reduced due to the arrival of high-class tourist developments, which have their own wastewater treatment plants , as well as desalination plants, which not only provide this resource to their developments, but also provide drinking water to the city.
The history of the use of the Insular Complex of the Holy Spirit dates back to pre-Hispanic times , when the islands were occupied by indigenous groups of island Pericúes . We know this from archaeological research carried out in 1833 by a Dutchman named Hernán Frederic Carel, who found human burials on the island. Later, the Spanish exploited the complex's pearl deposits , the only resource of economic interest to the Spanish Crown. At first they used the Pericú as labor, although later they rebelled and were definitively expelled.
Currently, the islands are recognized nationally and internationally as ecosystems of great biological , social and economic value . The beauty and natural wealth of the islands and their adjacent marine areas have caused a growing number of visitors to seek the opportunity to see and learn from the numerous species , processes and inhabitants that make them up.
The Partida and Espíritu Santo islands are located entering the right side of the bay of La Paz. The island complex covers an area of approximately 100 square km. Declared a natural and protected area in 1978 ANP , the former French oceanographer Jacques Cousteau called it “The Aquarium of the World ”. The island complex was recognized as a biosphere reserve in 1995 . According to official data, the region is home to more than a thousand plant and animal species; 64 of which have some degree of official protection. The islands are home to eleven species that only exist in that place, such as the free black and a reproductive colony of about 300 sea lions .
