Spiritual Experiences Through the Lens of Love - or Guided by Spirit, Framed by Nature’s Beauty

At Pixan Photography, we are more than just photographers. We’re storytellers, spiritual seekers, and passionate artists who see your wedding as a sacred chapter in your life.

We have our own lovingly built holistic center in the Riviera Maya and deep roots with local therapists, musicians, and ceremonial leaders. Sacred moments and connections are not only what we capture, they are the foundation of how we live.

When we document your Mayan or holistic ceremony, we bring every ounce of our experience, sensitivity, and respect for these traditions with us. We are grounded in the local culture, connected to the community, and deeply committed to documenting what’s real and beautiful about your unique experience.

When you’re ready to plan a wedding that will make you feel treasured and transformed, we will be thrilled to guide you.

What is a Mayan Wedding?

four sacred elements of earth, air, fire, and water.

A Mayan wedding is rooted in centuries-old traditions that honor the four sacred elements of earth, air, fire, and water. The rituals contained within call on the blessings of nature and spirit. Led by a respected Shaman and held in the lush jungles or along the shores of the Caribbean, this ceremony is a profound way to connect with each other, the earth, and generations of wisdom.

There’s a calm that settles in during these rituals, a deep presence that’s rare and deeply romantic. Every gesture, every offering, carries meaning. And for us, photographing these moments is a joy and a responsibility. Beyond providing stunning visuals, we tell the emotional story of your spiritual union.

Holistic Weddings with Sound Healing

For couples seeking a soulful alternative to traditional vows, a holistic wedding ceremony offers a deeply resonant experience. Set in nature and guided by facilitators with ancestral knowledge, these weddings are a blend of sound, spirit, and love. Musicians tuned into the energy of the day use sacred instruments to create a vibrational atmosphere that welcomes into your journey of the heart.

From the softest smile to the vibration in the air, we come ready to capture what’s seen with your eyes and felt by your heart and soul.

In the Riviera Maya, ancient traditions blend seamlessly with lush jungle and cenotes that feel like gateways to another world. We’ve captured hundreds of ceremonies here with couples exchanging sacred vows beside still waters or being blessed beneath a canopy of green.

It’s a place where the natural and the mystical meet, and where your love story enters into the realm of timelessness.

Telling Your Story Through the Lens of Experience

Outside of weddings, I’ve traveled the world photographing spiritual festivals, healing ceremonies, and people living close to ancient traditions. I’m drawn to real, honest moments, the kind that can’t be posed or planned. That’s where the magic lives, and that’s what I aim to capture every time I pick up the camera.

Your wedding deserves to be remembered in full color and emotion, the laughter, the tears, the warmth of a hand held tight. I am not making pictures, I’m witnessing the wonder of your life and giving you memories that will enliven you when you think of them.
