So you can feel it again,
not just remember it.
I’m Fernando Ruiz. I photograph and film weddings all over Mexico, with a documentary eye and an editorial look. I won’t ask you to strike stiff poses. I’ll just give you enough direction to forget the camera and let the day feel like yours.

“We’re both really shy in front of cameras. Fer made us feel so comfortable that we never once felt like we were posing.”

Just what’s really happening.
Most of the couples I photograph aren’t models, and they don’t need to be. Instead of asking you to pose, I use small prompts and interactions that get you to drop your guard and actually enjoy your wedding.
My job is to be in the right place when something happens. I’m not after a photo where you look “good”. I’m after the one that, years from now, makes you feel what that day was actually like.
One body of work, many stories.
A look at my work.
Weddings in the Bajío, on the beach, and at destinations all over Mexico, with a look that blends documentary and editorial style. Hit play.
Every wedding has a story.
Here are a few of them.
On social media you see one or two good photos from a wedding. That’s not enough to see what actually matters: how the story is told from start to finish, with the light changing and moments that only happen once. In my galleries I post a full recap of each wedding. Go through one and decide for yourself.
Real reviews, from real weddings.
“Having Fernando and his team was the best decision we could have made.”
Andrea O.“Both the photos and the video, he delivered everything on time and as promised.”
Maria M.“Five stars don’t do his work justice.”
MT“I wish I could get married again just to have more photos.”
Marbella V.Close to home in the Bajío, or wherever you’re getting married.
I’m based near Guanajuato and San Miguel de Allende, so if you’re getting married in the Bajío, you won’t be paying travel fees for an out-of-town photographer. And if your wedding is on the beach or anywhere else in Mexico, I’ll travel to you.

The full gallery is delivered between 1 and 3 months after the wedding, depending on the season.
