Planning a wedding or photo session in Mexico is exciting, but it also comes with many details: the location, the best time for photos, the light, the weather, the beach conditions, the resort rules and the overall timeline.
Because we are based in Mexico, we understand the rhythm of destination weddings and photo sessions in places like Cancun, Riviera Maya, Playa del Carmen, Tulum, Isla Mujeres, Cozumel, Los Cabos and Puerto Vallarta.
Our local experience helps us guide every session with confidence while keeping the atmosphere relaxed and natural. We know when to document real moments as they happen, and when to give direction to create elegant portraits without making the experience feel forced.
Ivan leads the creative vision of Luckie Photography, specializing in destination weddings, emotional storytelling, timeless portraits across Mexico, as well as innovator of underwater wedding portraits. With experience photographing weddings in Cancun, Riviera Maya, Isla Mujeres, Tulum, Los Cabos, Puerto Vallarta, and beyond, he focuses on capturing real moments with an artistic and natural approach.

Our Photography Style
Our photography style is natural, emotional and timeless, with a creative touch when the moment calls for it.
We believe the best images come from a balance between documentary storytelling and guided portraits. Some moments should be captured exactly as they happen — the smiles, the tears, the hugs, the ceremony, the celebration and the unexpected details. Other moments benefit from gentle direction, especially portraits, family photos and creative images with beautiful light.
Our goal is always the same: to create photographs that feel honest, beautiful and meaningful for years to come.

Wedding photography is at the heart of Luckie Photography. We document destination weddings, beach weddings, resort weddings, Catholic church weddings, Indian and Hindu weddings, same-sex weddings, elopements and intimate celebrations throughout Mexico.
We focus on the full story of the wedding day: the getting ready moments, the emotional ceremony, the family connections, the details, the couple portraits, the reception and the celebration.
Whether your wedding takes place on the beach in Cancun, inside a chapel in Riviera Maya, at a luxury resort in Los Cabos, or in a romantic destination like Puerto Vallarta, we approach every wedding with care, creativity and experience.
Engagement Photography
Engagement sessions are a beautiful way to celebrate your story before the wedding day. They are perfect for save-the-date images, wedding websites, announcements or simply creating meaningful portraits together in a beautiful destination.
