Emily and Phillip’s Dream Mexico City Wedding at Sobremesa
Emily always knew she wanted to get married in Mexico City. Even before she was engaged, she felt drawn to the city’s warmth, expressive color, and creative energy—the kind of place where a wedding feels more like an experience than an event. So when she and Phillip began planning their intimate celebration, choosing a wedding at Sobremesa felt natural… inevitable.
If you’re dreaming of a destination wedding in Mexico City, their day is a beautiful example of how design, emotion, and meaningful moments come together seamlessly when you trust your team.
Getting Ready at Ignacia Guest House in Mexico City
When Emily and Phillip asked where they should get ready, I immediately thought of Ignacia Guest House, one of my all-time favorite boutique hotels in Roma Norte. The space is bold, saturated, modern, and artistic, with handcrafted Mexican designer furnishings and color-drenched rooms that make every corner feel like a work of art.
For portraits, it was a dream. The color palette, the contemporary furniture, and that soft morning light created the kind of cinematic backdrop photographers get excited about. It was also fun and refreshing to shoot somewhere that embraces such unapologetic color—perfect for Emily’s vibrant, joyful energy.
