The experience
How this works. What you get. When you get it.
Everything you'd have to email me to find out. Here it is, no ask.
The process
You write
The date, the place, what you picture. That's enough to start.
We meet on video
Twenty minutes, just to see if we fit. If we don't, I'll tell you who does.
A proposal built for you
No two weddings are the same shape. Yours gets built around your actual weekend, not around a package.
The date is held
Contract and a 30% booking fee. The rest is due 30 days before the wedding — need a different rhythm? Say so, and we sort it out before you sign. The date isn't yours until the contract is signed.
We plan together
Timeline with your planner, scouting in the real light, a plan for wind. This is where the wedding is actually won, and it's the part nobody ever sees.
The day
Two photographers, 36 frames on 35mm film, and me staying out of your way. I don't run your day. I chase it.

Destination weddings
What does it cost?
Every proposal is built around your actual weekend — how many hours, one photographer or two, whether there's video — so there isn't a list to pick a number off. Tell me the date, the venue and what you're after, and Frank writes you back himself with the proposal, usually the same day. It's quoted in US dollars plus 16% tax, and you'll see the total before you sign anything.
What are the collections?
Four, and they differ mostly in how long Frank stays with you. First Light is four hours, one photographer, 500 edited images. The Wild One is six hours with two photographers and 700 images — where most couples land. The In-Between is seven hours and 850 images, and The Whole Damn Thing is eight, from getting ready to the last song, with 1,000. Every one of them includes 36 frames on real film and a love session before the wedding day.
What's included in every collection?
Hours of coverage that match your day, the edited gallery, 36 frames on real film, and a love session with the two of you before the wedding. Every collection but the shortest has two photographers; First Light has one. The seven- and eight-hour collections also carry one complimentary hour of welcome party coverage.
When do we get our photographs?
A sneak peek within 72 hours of the wedding, while you're still living it. The full gallery comes back within 30 business days. If you booked video, the Instagram reel lands at 30 days and the cinematic film within 90 — film takes longer because it's cut, not exported. All of it is written in your contract, so nobody is guessing.
How many images do we get?
Between 500 and 1,000 edited images, depending on the collection: 500 with First Light, 700 with The Wild One, 850 with The In-Between, 1,000 with The Whole Damn Thing. Plus 36 frames on film in every one. Your proposal states the number.
How does payment work?
A 30% booking fee holds your date, and the remaining balance is due 30 days before the event. Everything is written in the proposal before you sign, so nothing arrives as a surprise.
Is tax included in the prices?
Everything is quoted in US dollars before Mexican sales tax, which is 16%. Your proposal shows the total with tax on it, so there's no surprise at signature.
Can we talk before deciding?
That's the part I care about most. Twenty minutes on a video call, no pitch: you tell me what you picture, I tell you straight if I'm the photographer for your day. If I'm not, I'll tell you who is.
Do you travel?
I work where love takes me. I've photographed across Mexico, the United States and Latin America, and further when the day is worth the flight. Travel isn't a line on a price list — it's part of our conversation, and we sort it out together before anything gets signed.
How many days do you stay at the destination?
A day early, minimum. I want to stand where you'll stand, at the hour you'll stand there, before any of it matters.
What if it rains, or the wind picks up?
We agree on a plan B with your planner beforehand. Baja wind is predictable by hour and by season — so it gets planned, not improvised. And honestly, some of my favorite frames happened because the weather misbehaved.
Do I need permits at the venue?
Some venues and beaches in Los Cabos require them. I'll tell you which the moment I know the place.
Do you shoot 35mm film?
Yes — 36 frames on real film at every wedding, alongside the digital. They come back in the gallery together.
Do you shoot video too?
I do. Photography and cinematic video are both mine — same eye, same day, one conversation. Daniel and I shoot and cut every video ourselves, so the stills and the film come back looking like they came from the same wedding, because they did.
What does video cost?
Video is quoted by hours of coverage — four, six, seven or eight — and booking photo and video together costs less than booking them apart. Frank sends the numbers by email once he knows your date and what the weekend looks like. What's in it either way: two videographers, drone, a 30-second reel four weeks after, and a cinematic film of four to ten minutes within 90 business days.
Do you do content creation — the phone-shot, same-week kind?
Unscripted Content, yes. A content creator with you through the day, unlimited raw footage in your hands within 24 hours, and edited reels after: three packages at six, eight or ten hours, with one wedding recap reel plus one, two or three curated feature reels. The ten-hour one is the good call if there's a welcome party, a boat day or a rehearsal dinner. It doesn't replace the photographs — it's what you post while you wait for them.
Can we do a session before the wedding?
Please. A Save the Date session is up to two hours with a photographer and a content creator, 150 edited photos, a reel for social and a private gallery with no watermark. Some couples use it as their engagement session, some just want an excuse for a date. It's also the easiest way to get comfortable with each other before the day that matters.
What if we need more hours, or the welcome party covered?
Everything is buildable: extra hours of photography, video or content creator, welcome dinner or party coverage, and standalone drone photography. Frank prices each one in your proposal before you sign, never after.
How long do we keep the gallery?
Your private gallery stays online for three years, and you can download everything in full resolution from day one. Don't wait three years — but you have them.
Can we get the RAW files?
You can ask for them and Frank will quote it. He'll be honest that almost nobody needs them: the edit is where the photographs become what you saw in your head. But if you want the negatives, they're yours.
Can we print and post the photographs?
Print them, frame them, post them, send them to every relative you have. They're yours to use and share personally. I keep the right to show the work in my portfolio and on social — and if there's anything you'd rather I never post, tell me and I won't.
Will I meet you before the wedding?
Please. If you're coming to Cabo before the day, let's walk your venue and get a drink. Knowing each other first makes better photographs — it's not a nice-to-have. And a video call works from anywhere, so there's no excuse.
Do you photograph elopements and small weddings?
Yes, and they're some of my favorite days. Smaller, quieter weddings I quote on their own — there's no collection to squeeze you into.
Do you work in Spanish and English?
Both, all day. Your family can be from Guadalajara and from Texas and nobody will feel like a guest at your own wedding.
