 WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY

INVESTMENT & FAQ's

Be present for every moment. Remember how it all felt.

Your wedding is more than a collection of beautiful details.


It is your partner reaching for your hand, your family seeing you for the first time, the laughter between portraits, and the moment everyone forgets about the camera and fills the dance floor.


We photograph your celebration as it naturally unfolds, while offering calm direction when you need it.


The result is a gallery that feels honest, elevated, and completely yours.

Remember flipping through your parents' wedding album as a kid?

There's something a screen will never replace

the feeling of holding a printed memory in your hands.

Your album becomes the heirloom.


The thing you pull off the shelf on anniversaries, that your kids will one day fight over. Phones break, hard drives fail, but a beautifully printed album lasts generations.

Your love story deserves somewhere permanent to live

something real to hold, revisit, and pass down.

FAQ

How much does a Puerto Rico wedding photographer cost?

Beloved Captures wedding collections begin at $4,500, with most couples investing between $6,500 and $8,000. The final investment depends on coverage, location, additional photographers, albums, multi-day weekend events and any add ons you wish to include in your collection.

What's included in your wedding collection?

Every wedding collection includes planning support, timeline guidance, documentary coverage, candid portrait direction, professionally edited photographs, travel fees to anywhere in Puerto Rico and an online gallery. The exact inclusions in each collection will be clearly listed in your proposal.

How would you describe your photography style?

My style is documentary and candid, with intentional editorial artistry when it matters.


For most of your wedding day, I photograph like a fly on the wall, capturing the real moments as they happen: children playing, relatives bringing the humor, joyous laughter, and wild dancing when the bangers drop.


When portraits need more direction, I step in to create beautifully composed, editorial images without making anything feel stiff or overly staged.


You get both: authentic candid moments and artfully directed portraits.

What if we feel awkward in front of the camera?

You do not need to know how to pose or feel naturally comfortable in front of a camera. I use simple direction, movement, and conversation rather than stiff poses or manufactured emotion.

Do you include a second photographer?

A second photographer is included in selected collections and can be added when needed. I may recommend one for larger weddings, multiple locations, or important events happening simultaneously.

Where do you photograph weddings?

I photograph weddings throughout San Francisco, the Bay Area, Marin, Napa, Sonoma, San Jose, and Northern California.

As a Puerto Rico native based in San Francisco, I specialize in destination weddings.

  • I arrive days before your wedding to scout locations and ensure a seamless experience. For Puerto Rico weddings, travel fees include airfare and transportation.
  • For other destinations, travel fees vary by location and cover airfare, transportation, and accommodation.

(Puerto Rico wedding photography is offered through a separate location-specific experience)


How do we reserve our date?

Weddings, elopements, and City Hall & Marin Civic Center celebrations are reserved once the agreement is signed and the 35% retainer is paid.


Sessions are reserved with a signed agreement and 50% retainer.


The remaining balance is due before the scheduled date, and all bookings are first come, first served.

How do we stay in touch before the wedding?

We start with a discovery call to talk through your vision and make sure we're the right fit. Then, one month before your wedding, we have a mandatory planning meeting to go over your timeline, family photo list, and any final details or expectations.

Between those, I'm available for questions anytime whether that's a quick text or hopping on a call. I want you to feel supported and confident leading up to your day.

What's your turnaround time?

I know how exciting it is to receive your images, and I work hard to deliver them as quickly as possible!

I deliver an edited preview within 1 week.


  • For standard packages, you can expect your images within 10-12 weeks from your session or event date.
  • If you’ve chosen an expedited service, your delivery time will be shorter. Our popular Express Delivery option ensures your images are ready in just one month.

Quality is my priority, and I never rush the process at the expense of excellence.
