Last Updated on: September 26, 2026

One of the most beautiful parts before and during the wedding is the photo session. There are many reasons why wedding photography is an essential service for the occasion, especially given the visual legacy and the magnificent memories you will have of that great day with the love of your life. Of course, for this, you will want each image to be a statement of your personality and aesthetics, right?

To help you achieve it and not feel intimidated by the camera, here are some tips to enjoy a memorable wedding photography session in Los Cabos.

Without a doubt, the best thing you can do is forget about the poses and perfection to guarantee your final images are breathtaking and your photo session runs smoothly.

If you liked the portfolio of your wedding photographer, then trust his or her vision and the way they will tell your story visually. This will help you have a better relationship with her or him and make you feel more comfortable in front of the camera. In any case, take note of the following tips, with insights from two of the best wedding photographers in Cabo San Lucas.

In this article:

1. Choose a Venue That Suits Your Personality and Style

So that you can enjoy your photo session with your partner, it is best to choose a spot that represents both of you, and that is a key piece to communicate your style as bride and groom.

If you have already decided on a destination wedding in Los Cabos, here you can find wonderful beaches, as well as luxury hotel s, magic towns such as Todos Santos, cool restaurants with very instagrammable spaces, and fantastic surroundings, so you live each click to the fullest and have a fascinating result.

With all the stunning options Los Cabos offers to achieve an amazing set of wedding photos, we decided to ask 2 experienced wedding photographers about their favorite venues.

For Fer de la Rosa, a wedding photographer based in Todos Santos, the best venues are:

Art District San Jose del Cabo: “colorful and Mexican vibe with a fun twist”.
Palmilla Beach: “I love the view of the landscape of San Jose del Cabo and the mix between ocean and rocks”.
Monumentos Beach (The Cape): “This one is my favorite because it is public, with easy access, rocks, and a phenomenal view of the famous Arch.

Daniela Ortiz, a wedding photographer with more than 9 years of experience, shares with us her 2 favorite spots for a fabulous photo shoot:

Downtown San Jose: “It’s full of amazing and colorful spots”.
Misiones Beach: “It has lovely rock formations and the classic Cabo landmark”.

2. Choose an Outfit With Which You Feel Comfortable and Confident

The photo session with your partner should also be the exact moment for your style to be defined, which is why it is essential to choose an outfit that makes you feel incredibly beautiful, comfortable, and free to move.

If you choose the countryside as a spot for this happening, then avoid wearing heels or very tight clothing; if the wedding will be extremely elegant and you want to communicate the same as a couple, then choose an outfit according to the occasion. Always base each and every one of your decisions on your personal style.

“Wear something you feel comfortable with, leave the high heels, and enjoy the sand at the beach”, suggests Fer de la Rosa. And adds: “You can wear any color; red or a good floral dress is one of my favorite choices for brides; a white or khaki shirt for gentlemen”.

Wedding photographer Daniela Ortiz shares this tip: “Put some effort into your clothing, hair, and makeup, choose a photographer that you click with, and be yourself”.

3. Wedding Photography in Los Cabos is Not About “Perfect” Poses

Although the temptation is great, remember that one of the priorities in any photo shoot with your partner is that your relationship and your personality are captured in the final images.

Perfection must be forgotten, although you can always ask your photographer for help with direction issues, especially if you feel very intimidated by the camera or do not know how to move in front of it.

You can find inspiration and ideas on Pinterest or Instagram, but we don't recommend that you base all your expectations on these images either, because you won't get the most out of this important moment.

Both Daniela and Fer agree that if you’re shy, you can have a shot of tequila before the session to relax and enjoy your photo shoot in Los Cabos. Salud!

4. Trust Your Photographer’s Vision

Before asking for a meticulous review of each of the photographs, relax and let the professional wedding photographer guide you. We assure you that if you and your partner enjoy and have fun to the fullest during these moments, the final images will be a tremendous surprise for both of you.

Remember that pre-wedding sessions are ideal to break the ice and feel more comfortable in front of the camera on the day you say I do.

5. Don’t Be Afraid to Show Your Emotions

If you want your Cabo wedding photography session to be magical from start to finish, then don't be afraid to show yourself as you are with the love of your life.

Do not expect all the photographs will reflect smiles, since the objective is to experiment with a wide range of feelings so that the essence of each photograph is unique, special, and fun. You will not regret the result.

Fer de la Rosa shares that sunrise is a perfect moment of the day for your photo shoot. “The beach is always empty and is perfect if you’re shy. Sunset is always my favorite time of the day, an hour before the sun goes down”.

For Daniela Ortiz, “the best time for photos is 1 to 2 hours before sunset, so it depends on the season”.

   Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We worked with Fatima to plan our wedding in San José del Cabo in April this year. She helped us with everything, from organizing the room block to coordinating the rehearsal dinner, wedding ceremony, and party. We truly had the time of our lives and didn’t have to worry about a single thing. From the music to the food, every detail was perfect, and Fatima’s team handled all the logistics so we could fully be present and enjoy our celebration. It was the best weekend of our lives.

   Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had the most incredible experience working with our wedding coordinator Fatima, for our vow renewal ceremony in Cabo. From the very beginning, she was organized, responsive, and truly understood our vision for a beautiful beach celebration.

Every single detail was handled seamlessly—from vendor coordination to décor, timelines, and even last-minute adjustments. She made the entire process completely stress-free, which allowed us to fully enjoy time with our family and friends.

On the day of the event, everything came together flawlessly. It was truly a perfect event—beautifully set up, perfectly timed, and executed with such care and precision. We didn’t have to worry about a single thing.

If you’re planning a destination or beach ceremony, I highly recommend her. She goes above and beyond and genuinely cares about making your event unforgettable. We are so grateful for everything she did.

   Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. If you are looking for wedding planners in Cabo, look no further! Ivet, Fatima and everyone at Momentos made our dream wedding come true, and they made the planning process a breeze. They know the venues, they know the vendors, and they were such a tremendous team to have in our corner during planning and on wedding day. We got so much kind feedback from our friends and family about how smoothly not only the wedding went, but the entire week.

Ivet is an absolute rockstar. We were fortunate enough to travel to Cabo early for 2 site visits, both of which Ivet accompanied us on. She answered all of our questions, made helpful suggestions, and thoroughly walked us through all of our options allowing us to always make informed decisions. During planning & design meetings, Ivet was always so helpful when we needed any guidance. She was also kind enough to provide some insight and guidance for an event we decided to plan with our friends and family the day after our wedding. We had monthly zoom meetings to check in, and Ivet was always so prepared with our meeting topics. The online planning tool Momentos uses makes planning and budgeting so easy, and Ivet did an amazing job of always being conscious of our budget. They provide a VERY detailed checklist from 12+ months up to day-of with tasks you would never even think of, and I absolutely loved having that available. Seeing our visions for the pre-wedding events and the wedding day come to life brought tears to my eyes because Ivet and Fatima made everything more stunning than I could have even imagined. Seeing over a year of planning come to fruition was a crazy, unforgettable experience, and I am confident that it wouldn’t have been possible without the Momentos team.

Ivet and Fatima and everyone on their team truly go above and beyond for their couples, and you can tell. I never felt stressed on our wedding day, or during any of our wedding events, because their whole team is so incredibly prepared and detail oriented. Planning a destination wedding can be challenging and stressful at times, but having a top-tier planning team at your side makes a world of difference! Our friends and family had the most magical time and already want to go back! We love the Momentos team! 💕

Our wedding was May 23, 2025 at ACRE. I’ve been stalling writing this review because I want to keep this amazing team all to myself- but I can’t and people deserve the same memorable experience we had so here it is!

From the very first consultation, Fatima made us feel at ease. She was transparent, listened carefully to our vision and immediately came up with thoughtful, creative ideas to bring it all to life- all with being considerate of our budget (which when planning a wedding is obviously a main focus, right?). Planning a wedding is a lot- planning a destination wedding adds a little extra layer of challenges but we felt none of that with this team. We are based in southern California, our hotel block was at Hilton Los Cabos and our wedding venue was the outstanding ACRE. From day one Fatima was incredibly organized and on it. The planning platform used (Aisle Planner) is a Type-A person's dream come true (like myself); it allows you to keep track of timelines, budget/payments, visions boards, guests/seating, etc. The checklists and reminders were life-savers and Fatima always seemed to be three steps ahead. It truly is a tool that assists in making the entire planning process smooth.

What truly stood out was how much heart Fatima puts into her work and passion for her clients. She also has excellent relationships with vendors she worked with for our wedding- which I think says a lot about her reputation and work ethic. She was always accessible, calm and patient. My husband and I had a “non-traditional” wedding; we had no wedding party/family-oriented customs; Fatima always reassured me whenever stress started creeping in, and always made me/us feel supported and cared for.

Not only did Fatima and the team at Momentos plan our wedding, the team assisted in organizing welcome drinks at the Hilton Los Cabos the night before the wedding as well as cabanas for the recovery pool day after. On the wedding day, everything ran flawlessly—we were able to relax and truly enjoy every moment knowing Fatima and Iveta had everything under control. Everything just flowed. It was effortless. Our team handled every detail behind the scenes so that we could be fully present and just enjoy the moment with our guests on our special day. It felt like having a trusted friend by our side every step of the way.

We are forever grateful for everything they did to make our wedding such a joyful, stress-free, and unforgettable experience. If you’re looking for a wedding planner who will go above and beyond, book Momentos. Our incredible photographer, Frank Tesisteco and excellent content creator, Indra (EverAfter) - all of the above goes to you also. Our day wouldn't have been complete without your talent, skill and eye for cherished moments.

We are forever grateful and cannot recommend them enough.

With love and gratitude,
Frank & Christina

   Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We are forever grateful for Ivet and Momentos bringing our daughter’s wedding vision to life for a flawless evening! The wedding was beyond our wildest hopes and dreams, as well as the night before dinner and welcome party on the beach! Your connections to amazing vendors was fantastic! We had not a single care in the world with Momentos overseeing every single detail, except to enjoy it all! It was everything we dreamed! A heartfelt thank you to dear Ivet & the entire Momentos team! You are without a doubt, the best in the business!

   Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I wish we could give ten stars to Momentos - their team is the best in the business. I am not sure where to start, we truly had such an amazing experience working with Momentos planning our dream wedding in Cabo. The work they showcased on their social media is initially what drew us to their services and then from the moment we met Ivet and Fatima, they had such amazing energy. I can’t imagine going through the process of planning a wedding in Cabo without the Momentos team! We worked closely with Ivet for a little over a year and she helped us bring our dream wedding to life. The creativity, organization, professionalism, and relationships Ivet has with vendors in Cabo are invaluable. Ivet brought our vision for each wedding event to life - but she somehow made everything even more beautiful than what we could have imagined. Ivet makes her clients feel taken care of at all times and despite her busy schedule, she makes you feel like her only client. Her kindness and positivity is contagious. Planning a wedding (let alone a wedding in another country) felt overwhelming to us before we found Momentos, but Ivet and the Momentos team made the entire process enjoyable and manageable for us. We had the opportunity to meet frequently via zoom, exchange texts often, and we also went to visit in Cabo during the planning process. Our trip was the first glimpse at the relationships and magic Momentos was working for us. Fast forward to our wedding weekend - we were once again blown away by Ivet, Fatima and the entire team at Momentos. They took care of every single detail so we could truly just enjoy the wedding weekend! There was not a single item Ivet didn’t handle for us that week. Ivet stays calm, cool, and collected at all times and you can 100% trust her. On the night of our first wedding weekend event, the rehearsal dinner and welcome party, we got our first glimpse of the magic Momentos created in real life! The flowers, decor, and every single detail blew us (and our guests) away. On wedding day, it was no different! We were brought to tears with the magic they created for us. During the wedding day, their team was with us the entire day and night making sure we were staying on schedule and had everything we could need. In true Momentos fashion - they went above and beyond with this tending to our every need. We were so impressed with everything they managed behind the scenes and how much they coordinated. I am still speechless about how our vision came to life and the team we had behind us to make it all happen!

Looking back on the whole process, I can say with confidence our wedding wouldn’t have been what it was without the Momentos team. We are endlessly grateful for the magic they created for us and how fun & seamless they made the entire process! Not only that, but we have gained friends for life in their team and we are going to miss Ivet so much. If you are planning a destination wedding, I assure you that Momentos is the team you need. There aren’t enough words to express our gratitude to Ivet, Fatima, and the entire team at Momentos. We highly recommend Momentos to any couple starting their wedding planning journey. Look no further than Momentos, you will not regret it!

   Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Momentos Weddings & Events Los Cabos recently planned and executed my daughter's wedding, reception and related events in Cabo San Lucas (November 2025). It was absolutely spectacular and was enjoyed by all of our family and friends. Every detail was not only planned for, but also accomplished. A special shout out to Ivet and Fatima, who took lead on all the planning and details. If you are thinking about having a special event (ie. wedding or other), this is the company (and the people) you should hire. I couldn't be more happy about how this special event turned out and I will have these happy memories forever. Thank you again Momentos !! Wayne Smith (CEO)
