Isla Mujeres Elopements
Intimate Celebrations. Beautifully Captured.
Welcome!
Congratulations on your engagement—and on choosing to celebrate your love in a way that feels true to you.
Isla Mujeres Elopements was created for couples who want something meaningful and beautifully documented, without the pressure of a large, traditional wedding.
We curate intimate celebrations for those who value connection over production, intention over excess, and moments that feel natural rather than staged.
Whether you're planning an elopement, intimate wedding, or vow renewal, everything we create is centered around one thing:
a celebration that feels effortless, personal, and entirely your own.
Who We Are
Together, we’re Susan and Sabina.
For over a decade, we’ve created intimate celebrations on Isla Mujeres—each one thoughtfully designed to feel personal, meaningful, and effortlessly beautiful.
What we offer is more than a service—it’s a fully guided experience.
Every detail is handled with care, so you can be present, relaxed, and truly connected to the moment as it unfolds.
Together, we create a seamless experience—so you can be fully present, knowing every detail is thoughtfully taken care of.
Susan
Photographer & Planner
Originally from Colorado, I traded the mountains for the turquoise waters of Mexico—and found a home in Isla Mujeres that felt meant for this work.
Since 2005, I’ve photographed over 600 weddings across the U.S. and Mexico, capturing moments in a way that feels natural, honest, and lasting.
I guide your day with intention and ease—so you can relax, be present, and fully experience it as it unfolds.
Sabina
Officiant & Floral Designer
Originally from Germany, I’ve called Isla Mujeres home for over 30 years. The island continues to inspire every ceremony I create and every floral design I bring to life.
As a non-denominational celebrant, I craft ceremonies that feel deeply personal, inclusive, and true to each couple’s story.
Through my floral work, I design with local, natural elements—creating pieces that feel organic, intentional, and beautifully connected to the surroundings.
Your Collections
After planning and photographing hundreds of celebrations on Isla Mujeres, we’ve learned something important:
You don’t need more options.
You need the right ones.
Each collection is thoughtfully designed to create a seamless, meaningful experience—without the overwhelm of unnecessary decisions.
Everything you truly need is already included:
Thoughtful planning
A personalized ceremony
Professional photography
A Simple, Thoughtful Approach
You won’t find dozens of packages here.
Instead, you’ll choose from a small number of collections—each offering a different experience of the island, while maintaining the same level of care, beauty, and intention.
All you need to do is choose the setting that feels most like you.
Creating a Day That Feels Effortless and True
As both your planner and photographer, my role is to create a day that flows naturally and feels deeply personal.
Through thoughtful planning, gentle guidance, and intentional design, I shape an experience that is calm, connected, and true to who you are—nothing forced or overly staged.
By blending documentary storytelling with creative, emotive imagery, I preserve not just how your day looked, but how it felt.
When you look back, you won’t just see it—you’ll remember the experience of it.
What Matters Most
A celebration that feels natural—never rushed
A ceremony that reflects your story
Images that allow you to relive it for years to come
We focus on these elements intentionally—removing anything that distracts, and preserving what truly matters.
Your Ceremony
Every ceremony we create is written specifically for you.
It’s not a template or a script—it’s a reflection of your relationship, your values, and the way you’ve chosen to begin this next chapter together.
