Sara and Emily’s LGBTQ Wedding at Rosewood Mayakoba.
A Three-Day Celebration a lifetime of love
LGBTQ Wedding at Rosewood Mayakoba
A Three-Day Wedding Weekend in the Riviera Maya
SARA + EMILY
Sara and Emily came all the way from New York to say “I do” at Rosewood Mayakoba, and they brought everyone they loved with them. This wasn’t a quiet elopement. This was a full, joyful, three-day LGBTQ wedding weekend at one of the most beautiful venues in the Riviera Maya.
I photographed this wedding alongside my sister Citlalli, and honestly, it was one of our favorite weekends of all time. The love between Sara and Emily was so open and so real that it filled every room, every dance floor, and every quiet moment in between. Their guests showed up with that same energy. Everyone looked incredible. Everyone was present. And the celebration never stopped.
LGBTQ+ Photographer
As a proud member of the LGBTQ+ community myself, I don’t just photograph queer weddings. I celebrate them. I know what it feels like to see yourself reflected in someone’s work, and that’s what I want every couple to feel when they look at their gallery.

We actually started months before the wedding with an engagement session, which gave us time to connect and build trust before the big weekend. By the time the wedding rolled around, we weren’t strangers with cameras. We were part of the crew.
LOVE LOOKS GOOD ON EVERYONE
The weekend kicked off with a pool party at Casa Del Lago. It was exactly the vibe Sara and Emily wanted: relaxed, fun, and full of laughter. Their guests hadn’t all met each other yet, and by the end of that afternoon, it felt like everyone had been friends for years.
That evening, the rehearsal dinner at Aqui Me Quedo brought the group closer together. Tables along the beach, warm light, great food, and an amazing fire show, and to celebrate we are in Mexico, a Piñata. These are the moments I always tell couples not to skip. The rehearsal dinner is where the emotional buildup starts, and Sara and Emily’s was perfect.
Rosewood Mayakoba Wedding
The ceremony took place by the lagoon at Rosewood Mayakoba, and it was everything. Calm water, lush mangroves, soft afternoon light. Sara and Emily stood facing each other surrounded by the people who matter most, and the emotion in that space was something I’ll never forget.
As their LGBTQ wedding photographer
these are the moments I live for. Two people choosing each other, fully and openly, without hesitation. The light at Rosewood’s lagoon ceremony area wraps around you in the late afternoon, and the photos reflect that warmth. Just real, beautiful, golden light.
The reception at La Ceiba Garden and Kitchen brought the party. Imperial Band kept the dance floor packed all night. The garden lighting, the decor by Canteiro Weddings, and the florals by Vanessa Jaimes created a setting that was elegant but never stiff. It was exactly Sara and Emily: joyful, beautiful, and full of life.
