Hi, we’re Kris & Ricardo: A Partnership in Life and Art

We are an editorial photographer and filmmaker duo based in the heart of the Yucatán Peninsula. As partners in both life and craft, our work is a shared exploration of human stories, specializing in intimate destination weddings across Mérida’s historical landscapes and the raw beauty of the Emerald Coast.

Kris Garza & Ricardo Ramos

Kris Garza captures the honest, unscripted fragments of your day through an editorial lens that celebrates the beauty in imperfection. Ricardo Ramos crafts evocative wedding films that breathe with soul, legacy, and the quiet, unforgettable details that define your connection. Together, we offer a cohesive visual narrative that feels as intentional as the decisions you’ve made for your celebration.

Living in Telchac Puerto, we have a deep-rooted connection to this land—its specific light, its weathered textures, and its hidden corners. Whether you are exchanging vows within the sun-drenched stone of a 17th-century hacienda or escaping to a private cenote, we document your story with an artistic touch that is both timeless and deeply personal.

We resonate with couples who value soul over spectacle and authenticity over trends. We aren’t here to document a decorated event; we are here to archive how it felt—the raw, the unpolished, and the profound.
