FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How many hours of coverage does each package include?

Esencia includes 8 hours, Memoria 10 to 12 hours, and Autor full-day coverage with no strict hour limit — so you never feel the clock running out in the middle of an important moment.

Do you travel outside Guadalajara or shoot destination weddings?

Yes. I've documented weddings across different states in Mexico and international destinations like Bolivia, France, Belgium, and Colombia. Packages don't include travel costs (transportation, lodging, and meals); those are quoted separately based on the destination.

How long does it take to receive the photos?

Full editing is included in all three collections — no separate charge and none per photo. Turnaround depends on the season; I give you a firm estimate when you book, and it goes in the contract. The full process is explained in the wedding FAQ.

What happens if it rains or the weather doesn't cooperate?

Nothing changes about how I work — the documentary approach doesn't depend on perfect conditions; some of my favorite photos have come from rainy weddings. If you're worried about light for your specific schedule, I put together a guide on planning your timeline around exactly that.

How do I book my date?

With a 50% deposit. Prices on this page are valid for 30 days; after booking, we coordinate the rest of the details at ease.

Can I see one of your full weddings, not just the highlights?

Yes — if you want to see how I tell a wedding story start to finish, I'm happy to share a complete gallery before you decide.

Still choosing where to marry? I have guides to Hacienda El Centenario, in Tequila and Monte Coxala, on Lake Chapala, with the best hour for portraits and the ceremony options.

I absolutely loved working with Christian and his team. Having a destination wedding is always a challenge but it was a dream to work with him. He made my husband and I feel so comfortable with both shoots we did. The passion, attention to detail, and the intent behind his work is unmatched. I would definitely recommend working with Christian!
