Capturing the Big Day with soul (and style)

Let’s Make It Happen.

Your wedding day isn’t just a series of events — it’s a celebration of your story, your people, and your love. Whether you’re throwing a barefoot beach bash in Costa Rica, saying “I do” under a canopy of trees, or dancing the night away in a modern urban venue, I’m here to capture the real stuff: the glances, the goosebumps, the joy.

I specialize in non-traditional weddings for couples who care less about perfect poses and more about real connection.

Based in Costa Rica — Traveling Worldwide

Although I’m proudly based in Costa Rica, I travel wherever your love story takes me. From mountaintops to museums, beaches to barns — I’m there.

Weddings Around the World 

Real Love Stories. Real Places.

From tropical beaches to colorful cities, I’ve had the honor of capturing weddings and elopements in some truly unforgettable places. Here are a few of the destinations I’ve worked in — and always happy to return to:

  • Costa Rica – Manuel Antonio, La Fortuna, Tamarindo, Nosara, Uvita, Monteverde & beyond. 
  • United States – from oceanside ceremonies to cozy forest weddings 
  • Aruba – dreamy elopements and majestic weddings by turquoise waters 
  • Mexico – vibrant celebrations and intimate escapes 
  • Argentina – romantic city weddings in Buenos Aires and natural backdrops in Patagonia 
  • Spain – love stories among architecture, art, and Mediterranean light 
  • Jamaica – lush island vibes and golden-hour vows 
  • Panama – jungle-meets-ocean ceremonies full of adventure 
  • India – rich cultural traditions and unforgettable celebrations 

Always passport-ready. If your dream wedding is somewhere else, I’m in — let’s make it happen.

“She’s not just a photographer – she’s someone who could easily become your friend. She knows all the best photo spots, hidden gems, and has a uniquely creative eye that turns every moment into a masterpiece.”

-Amy R.

“Mariana is an incredible photographer! She’s simply the BEST! We’ve worked with Mariana on two other occasions and when we decided to get married in Panama, there was no doubt we wanted her to be our photographer.

Mariana is easy to work with. She makes you feel comfortable and at ease. She’s creative and has an eye for unique shots and poses. She captures the heart of every occasion making your photos extra special. She’s a professional!”

Love, love, love our wedding photos! – Casco Viejo, Panama

“Mariana and Ari were an absolute dream to have capture our wedding in Aruba! From the very beginning, they were warm, fun, and incredibly inviting—instantly making us feel comfortable and at ease. They brought such a calm, positive energy to the day, and somehow managed to be everywhere without ever being in the way.

Their attention to detail was spot on—every important moment, every emotion, every bit of love in the room was beautifully captured through both photos and video. Looking back at our wedding album and film, we’re blown away by how perfectly they preserved the spirit of the day. Thanks to them, our wedding was not only stress-free, but filled with laughter and joy. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better team to document one of the most important days of our lives. Thank you, Mariana and Ari—you are simply amazing!”
