Damaris Melissa Photo
Hello there!
We’re Dámaris & Hugo — wedding photographers, partners in life, and your biggest supporters on the big day.
Based near the Tijuana/San Diego border, we’ve been photographing weddings since 2018 — capturing laid-back, heart-filled celebrations across California and throughout the wine country of Valle de Guadalupe. Whether it’s a coastal elopement or a destination wedding in Baja, we specialize in documenting real moments with care and intention.
Our approach goes beyond taking beautiful photos. We believe in being present, tuned in, and genuinely invested in every couple’s story. Whether you're planning a local celebration or traveling from afar, our goal is to make you feel seen, heard, and fully at ease — like you're working with friends who just happen to know a lot about lighting and timing.
Most of our couples say they felt taken care of from day one. We take that seriously. It’s not just about the photos (though those will be stunning) — it’s about creating an experience that feels effortless and memorable from start to finish.
If you're looking for someone who gets your vision and honors your story, reach out. We'd love to connect.
