Same or next business day, Monday–Friday. If you’re on a tight timeline, note it in the form and we’ll prioritize a quick intro call to lock your date if there’s a fit.
Date(s), destination(s), planner contact, event list (welcome, rehearsal, wedding day, brunch), estimated guest count, cultural traditions, and your must-have moments. If you have a moodboard or invite, attach it—it helps us align style and logistics.
We work first-reserved, first-served. If your weekend is in high season, ask about a short courtesy hold while legal paperwork routes; availability changes quickly for Fridays/Saturdays.
Yes. We coordinate flights, permits, customs, and local rules with your planner. If drones or restricted sites are involved, we’ll confirm feasibility in the proposal and design smart backups.
Yes—Ximena leads a limited number of weddings each year. For multi-day events, trusted teammates add second angles, film, drone, and content—aligned to the same editorial standard.
50% to reserve your date; remaining 50% due 21 days before the event. Stripe/major cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and US wire/ACH accepted. Full ownership and copyrights transfer at delivery and once all invoices are paid.
We tailor proposals to your vision and schedule. Tiers are a starting point; we right-size coverage, crew, and deliverables for your weekend and locations, with flat hourly options for add-ons.
Of course. We’ll schedule a brief video call to align on priorities, light windows, and logistics, then send a written plan and pricing for your review.
Collaboratively. We share timelines early, build family lists efficiently, scout light/locations, and run a calm, production-ready set that respects vendors, venues, and schedules.
Spanish and English. If you need translation support for another language, tell us—we’ll coordinate locally with your planner or fixers.
We’re happy to sign a reasonable NDA. We respect guest privacy, follow venue rules, and offer private galleries. Portfolio usage is opt-in—your comfort sets the line.
We design backups with your planner. Weather can be beautiful on camera; we protect comfort, wardrobe, and timing while keeping the story elegant and on schedule.
