For couples who want to experience their wedding,
not perform for it.

 

 

Puerto Rico is more than a beautiful setting. It is the people, the music, the family, and the feeling of bringing everyone together in a place that means something.


Maybe the island is home, part of your family story, or simply the place that felt right for everyone you love to come together.


I photograph Puerto Rico weddings with documentary attention, an editorial eye, and a connection to the island that keeps the people, traditions, energy, and moments at the heart of the story.

Hi, I'm Shanice

but most people call me Xai!

 

Smiling woman in black dress standing on a scenic hilltop with coastal cityscape in black and white.

Being Puerto Rico-born shaped the way I understand celebration, connection, and the importance of the people in the room.


That familiarity also carries into the planning, especially for couples organizing their wedding from the mainland.


I watch closely, guide gently, and give real moments room to happen.


You get both: the real and the beautiful.

FAQ

How much does a Puerto Rico Wedding Photographer cost?

Beloved Captures Puerto Rico wedding collections begin at $4,500, with most couples investing between $5,500 and $7,000. The final investment depends on coverage, location, additional photographers, albums, wedding-weekend events and any add ons you wish to include in your collection.

We’re planning from the mainland. Can you help?

Yes. We can work through locations, timing, family priorities, and photography logistics before you arrive in Puerto Rico.

How would you describe your photography style?

My approach combines candid documentary photography with intentional editorial portraits, giving you both the real moments and the beautifully composed ones.

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.
