Like many modern love stories, ours technically started with a swipe.

At the time, Ambar was living in Tulum and Alejandro had just moved from
Playa del Carmen to another state in Mexico. Somehow we matched on Tinder,
but instead of meeting right away, life had other plans.


For a year we simply talked.


What started as a casual conversation slowly became part of our daily rhythm.
We texted about everything — photography, travel, family, dreams, and the
places we hoped to explore one day. Morning hellos and goodnight messages became normal, even though we had never actually met in person.

Then one day, while Ambar was road-tripping through Mexico, Alejandro sent a random message:

"What are you doing right now?"

Ambar replied that she was somewhere in San Luis Potosí… she thought.

Alejandro answered immediately:

"That's where I live."

That didn’t make sense. Ambar thought he lived in Veracruz. (That’s actually where his family lives — and where he had been visiting. NOT living.)

So Alejandro sent a location pin.


When Ambar opened it, we both couldn't believe it. She was driving five minutes away from that exact spot.

So she pulled into the gym parking lot and picked him up — sweaty workout clothes, big smile, and instant sparks.

Instead of continuing the road trip alone, we took a detour together.

Our very first date became a spontaneous three-day adventure to Peña de Bernal. We stayed in a beautiful hacienda, hiked the mountains, shared long meals, and drove into the sunset without really knowing where we were going — just happy to finally be together.

From there, life unfolded the way great adventures often do: road trips, international travel, building a life together, raising children, and discovering that the two of us — already photographers — brought a beautiful balance to the way we see and capture the world.

Today we photograph weddings as partners in both life and art. Alejandro often finds the sweeping beauty of the landscape and the movement of the day, while Ambar is drawn to the quiet emotional moments unfolding between people.

Together we tell love stories the same way ours began — with curiosity, connection, and a little bit of magic.

Before we photographed love stories, we found our own.

Our Story

Husband and wife. Photographers. Adventurers.

Don’t let the dreadlocks and tattoos fool you — I’m originally from Texas, and my country roots run deep. I’m a soulful blend of barefoot nature-lover and free-spirited wanderer, with a touch of southern charm. It might seem like an unexpected mix, but it’s exactly who I am: high energy, a social butterfly, and deeply connected to Mother Earth.

I grew up grounded in the outdoors — bow hunting, fishing, and learning the rhythms of nature. Those early experiences shaped the way I see the world today. What once taught me patience and survival has grown into a deep reverence for all living things and the delicate balance of the natural world.

I’m also a proud momma of three beautiful world-schooled children and the wife to my twin flame. Alejandro and I may be different in many ways, but the balance we share is exactly what makes our partnership so powerful — in life and behind the camera.

In 2014, I followed my calling to Mexico, falling in love with its vibrant people, rich culture, and breathtaking landscapes. Road trips have become my soul’s compass, leading me to hidden corners of the world and sacred places waiting to be discovered.


Photography became the natural language through which I express what I feel in these spaces. My artistic medium is light. I’m constantly chasing the way sunlight filters through jungle leaves, the quiet drama of shadows, and the way highlights dance across a moment before disappearing. Light reveals emotion, and that fleeting magic is what I love capturing most.

The things that fill my heart: my family (always first), photography, spontaneous road trips, and immersing myself in the raw beauty of nature.

Everyone calls me Alex or Ale. I’m originally from Veracruz, a port city along the Gulf of Mexico where life revolves the ocean, family, and community. Growing up there shaped so much of who I am today.

My childhood days were spent running through the streets with friends, always with a fútbol. We walked everywhere — playing games, pulling the occasional prank, and eventually ending up at the beach where we’d play soccer until the sun disappeared.

Nights were something else entirely. Our home was always full — tíos, abuelos, cousins, friends — more people than could comfortably fit inside, but somehow everyone found a place. There was always music playing, someone dancing, and long family dinners where all the mamas cooked together and everyone shared food, stories, and laughter.

Those moments taught me something simple but powerful: life is about connection. Family, friends, good food, and time spent together are the things that matter most.

Today I still carry that same spirit with me. I’m happiest exploring nature, playing fútbol, working out, cooking for the people I love, or relaxing at home with my family, junk food, a beer, and a movie night. My wife says I’m the nurturer of the family, FOOD is life.

Photography became a natural extension of the way I see the world. I’m fascinated by the way light moves — the beams that cut through jungle trees, the way smoke catches sunlight, and how something as intangible as light can shape shadows and create depth in a moment.

I’m often chasing golden hour at the beach. There’s something about the way the sun melts into the horizon that reminds me of those long afternoons playing fútbol by the ocean in Veracruz.

Family is still at the center of everything I do. The perfect Sunday for me is hosting friends and family at home — everyone gathered around the pool, sharing food, stories, laughter, and a few beers.

Those same moments of connection are what I love most about photographing weddings — people coming together to celebrate love, family, and the beginning of a new story.

Liliana (Lilly) has an eye that came naturally to her. Raised in a family of traveling photographers, she spent her childhood exploring the world through a camera lens. While most children were sitting in classrooms, Lilly was traveling across countries alongside her family, capturing destination weddings. The world became her school, and Mexico eventually became her home.

When she’s not behind the camera, you’ll likely find Lilly out in nature hiking or taking long walks with her rescue dog. She’s a collector of knives and healing stones, a passionate foodie (years of travel have definitely spoiled her taste buds), and an incredible cook.

Lilly also has a deep love for coffee and works as a barista on the side — partly for the joy of connection and partly because she loves being surrounded by the smell of fresh coffee. Her eclectic sense of style, bold eyeliner, and love for hair and makeup make her just as creative off camera as she is behind it.

Lilly first joined us as an intern four years ago, and it was clear from the moment she picked up a camera that she had a natural talent for storytelling. Today she’s an important part of our team, helping capture beautiful moments whenever an extra set of eyes is needed.
