Words cannot express the professionalism, kindness, & amazing experience
we had with Dacia. She photographed our engagement and elopement in California, and also our destination wedding celebration with family and friends in Mexico City. The photographs we received were stunning and she truly captured the joy of all three events. She made everything seem so effortless, and we couldn’t be happier with how our pictures turned out.

With Mexico City as my home base and a passport always ready, I'm prepared to make your celebration dreams come true wherever they may take you. Whether you're dreaming of a romantic beach wedding in Cabo, a traditional hacienda ceremony in the heart of Mexico, or a destination wedding in a picturesque European village, I'm here to document it. Let's collaborate to turn your celebration into an unforgettable experience filled with love, culture, and joy, no matter where in the world your love takes you.
Planning a destination wedding? COUNT ME IN. I welcome worldwide travel! It's one of the best parts of my job, so I try to keep any travel fees to a minimum. Location-based flat travel fees ensure you won't need to worry about unexpected expenses in the final hour.
And, no need to worry – I always arrive a day or two early to visit the venue, scout locations, and have everything organized before the wedding day. Working in a new, spectacular location is exhilarating and pushes me creatively. I've photographed all over the world, from Jamaica to Copenhagen, Colorado to Puerto Rico. No matter where you're headed, inquire!
In my opinion – yes, absolutely, 100%!
Portraits, Love Session, Test Shoot – call it whatever you want – I love engagement sessions! Honestly, how many of us can say we love being photographed? I wanna change that! Think of the portrait session as a practice run - the best way for us to get to know each other, how we best work together, and to avoid feeling like the wedding day is like an awkward blind date. Bonus: you'll get more cute photos of you two for your save the dates, guest book, wedding website, time capsule, whatever – and I'll be able to get to know what works best for our particular dynamic for the wedding day.
Let's discuss it! There are many factors that determine if a 2nd is a necessary addition or a luxurious inclusion, but the main one is guest count - if you are expecting more than 50 people its going to be a good idea to have the extra coverage for all the moments happening simultaneously. Some other reasons a 2nd may be necessary are: if you're not planning on a first look, if any part of the timeline overlaps (such as cocktail hour and the window of time to get detail shots) or if the two of you are getting ready in separate locations and you want coverage of both. I will happily offer you my advice and options when we talk.
