Wedding Photography in Puerto Morelos & the Riviera Maya
Your wedding doesn’t need to feel like a photoshoot.
We photograph weddings with a focus on the people, the energy and the moments happening naturally throughout the day. The big moments matter, but so do the smaller ones. Your people arriving. Nervous hands before the ceremony. Someone laughing across the room. Movement on the dance floor. The things that happen when nobody is thinking about the camera.
Our approach combines candid storytelling with creative portraiture and film, giving you something that feels natural, intentional and true to the day.
Meet Jillian
An eye for the art. A feel for the moment.
I’m Jillian, a Canadian photographer and filmmaker based in Puerto Morelos, capturing weddings across the Riviera Maya.
What draws me to weddings is the connection between people. The anticipation, the familiar faces, the way you look at each other when everything finally slows down. Those are the moments I’m watching for.
My approach is relaxed and personal. I’ll offer direction when you need it and give you space to enjoy your day, creating photographs that reflect both how it looked and how it felt.
For couples planning an intimate wedding here, I also offer planning support, helping bring together the setting, the people and the details that make the celebration yours.

Wedding Photography & Cinematic Film
$1,500 USD
From getting ready to celebrating with your favourite people, this collection gives us time to capture the story of your day. Candid moments, thoughtful portraits and the details you chose, with space to enjoy it all.
Includes:
• Up to 8 consecutive hours of photography coverage
• Professionally edited, high resolution images
• A 1 minute cinematic highlight film
• Private online gallery for downloading and sharing
• Personal printing and sharing rights
• A conversation before your wedding to review your timeline and priorities
A 30% deposit reserves your date and is applied toward your package total.
Add a Second Photographer
$TBD
A second photographer can be added to either collection.
Having two photographers isn’t simply about getting more photographs. It allows us to tell more of the story happening at the same time.
While one photographer is with one partner getting ready, the other can be somewhere else entirely. During the ceremony, one of us can photograph your entrance while the other captures your partner’s reaction. During portraits, cocktail hour and the reception, we can document what your guests are doing while you’re somewhere else.
For larger weddings, busy timelines or couples who want more complete coverage of their day, Jillian and Nicole can photograph together as a two-photographer team.
Available by request, subject to availability. Ask for a quote when you inquire.

Love Notes from Past Clients
We had a tremendous experience with Jillian for our family photo shoot in the Mayan Riviera! We made the quick & easy trip to the charming beachside town of Puerto Morelos, where Jillian had lots of great shooting locations scoped out for us ahead of time. The photos came out amazing and was a fun experience for the whole family, including our teenage boys! Highly recommended.
Ryan Mckeller
We had an amazing experience with Jillian for our maternity shoot in Puerto Morelos. She was very professional, made us feel comfortable the entire time, and truly captured our special moment perfectly. The photos came out absolutely amazing, we couldn’t be happier with the results. Highly recommend Jillian to anyone looking for a talented and reliable photographer!
Tyler lawson
Jillian was amazing! So much fun to hang out with and made the process fun! Was concerned finding someone to do photos while we are on vacation but she made everything so easy. Definitely using her again if we ever go to Puerto Morelos wanting pictures!!

The people you’ll want to remember it with.
When your favourite people travel all this way to celebrate with you, the photographs become about more than the two of you. Your mum watching you get ready. The friend who makes you laugh without trying. Everyone together, in a place you chose.
That’s what I want to give you. Beautiful photographs of your wedding, and the little things you’ll be grateful someone noticed.
I’d love to be that person for you.
FAQ
How many photos will we receive?
Every wedding is different, so we don’t limit your gallery to a specific number of images. You’ll receive a carefully edited collection that tells the full story of your coverage, from the big moments to the candid ones happening in between.
When will we receive our wedding photos?
Your wedding photographs will be professionally edited and delivered through a private online gallery. We’ll also send you a small preview shortly after the wedding so you have something to share while your complete gallery is being finished.
How far in advance should we book our wedding photographer?
Reach out as soon as you have your wedding date so we can check availability and start talking about your plans. If you’re planning a wedding in Puerto Morelos or the Riviera Maya at shorter notice, you’re welcome to inquire too. Your date is secured once your contract is signed and your 30% deposit is received.
What happens if it rains on our wedding day?
We keep going. Weather is part of the story, and some of our favourite photographs happen when conditions aren’t perfect. We’ll work with your venue, available light and whatever the day gives us, while adjusting portrait locations or timing when needed.
