The Cape Stunning Wedding Venue in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico

Simple wooden ceremony canopy. Framed by soft gauzy drapes billowing in the breeze and a romantic display of lush white garden roses. Simple adornment for an already spectacular setting! Low upholstered wooden benches keep the Ocean view and the Arc…

The Cape Los Cabos Wedding Venue

The Cape is a luxury Thompson Hotel, a singular beachfront retreat where every room and vantage point overlooks El Arco and the Bahia Cabo San Lucas horizon.

The clean, contemporary lines of visionary Mexico City architect Javier Sanchez converge in a relaxed 1960s Southern California-meets-Baja aesthetic at this luxury boutique hotel. The Cape - A Thompson Hotel features 2 outdoor swimming pools, a sauna, spa services, and a fitness center. Dining is available at one of the hotel's 2 restaurants. The Cape - A Thompson Hotel is a smoke-free property.

Whether you envision a modern wedding, a romantic sunset wedding, a modern and structured event with formal elegance or a relaxed boho-chic surf and sea celebration, The Cape in Cabo San Lucas is blessed with an idyllic wedding venue, as well as a passionate team of world-class culinary and event professionals

The Cape Bars and Restaurants

The Rooftop

Dazzling nights begin at The Rooftop, Cabo San Lucas’ only rooftop bar and lounge. Relax into the communal vibe where lush greenery meets flowing waters and sip on handcrafted cocktails and local, artisanal beers.

Manta

Manta serves up Pacific coast traditions with native Mexico, Japan, and Peru twists. It’s comfort seafood infusions and brings together local ingredients to create dishes that are totally unique. Manta also has a curated beverage menu focused on mezcales, tequilas, and sake.

The Ledge

If it’s casual dining by the beach you’re looking for, The Ledge delivers. With a menu boasting of modern Mexican dishes and traditional American favorites, there’s something for everyone. Savor a plate of fluffy pancakes at breakfast, then nosh on octopus tacos at lunch.

Point Break

The Cape’s main pool’s swim-up bar and terrace gives guests a chill place to have lunch and try libations made from fresh fruits and juices - all while cooling off and enjoying the panoramic views of Cabo San Lucas.

Lobby Bar

For an unobstructed view and open-air refreshments, The Cape’s hotel lobby bar and lounge is the place to be. Linger over cocktails in the sunken lounge while taking in the dramatic views or play a game of pool with friends before having dinner at the adjoining Manta restaurant.

Currents Spa

Whether you’re seeking some alone time, want to relax with your significant other, or looking to treat your family and friends to a pampering session, the Currents Spa offers a transcendent experience inside a natural rock formation. Indulge in an al-fresco treatment, plunge into a hot or cold pool, steam room, or sauna, or book a couple’s treatment, which includes an intimate space for a rain shower and swim.

WHY HIRE A LOCAL LOS CABOS DESTINATION WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER?

Keeping the best memory of your destination wedding day in Cabo San Lucas or San Jose del Cabo Mexico is one of the priorities of many couples. This event only happens once, so it is important that a professional profesional is responsible for generating these memories.

Do not leave your Los Cabos destination wedding in inexpert hands and keep reading to know the advantages of hiring a local los Cabos wedding photographer. When everything else is over and all the preparations have been packed up, photographs are the memories which are left. Here you have a few points:

  1. LOCAL KNOWLEDGE

  2. THE LEGAL SIDE

  3. LOCAL CONTACTS

  4. SPEAKING THE LOCAL LANGUAGE

  5. IT´S CHEAPER

  6. ARE FAMILIAR WITH WEATHER PATTERNS

  1. LOCAL KNOWLEDGE

    Local vendors love acting as tour guides for their couples and sharing their insider knowledge for their home turf. Local vendors often know some of the best locations and will know about any special permissions or permits that might be required to go there. They are proud of where they live and do their best to make sure the couple has an amazing experience whilst also respecting the local community, 

  2. THE LEGAL SIDE

    Did you know that a lot of people who work on destination weddings do so illegally? Hiring someone who is not Los Cabos local and who doesn’t have a permit to work in your destination can be a massive risk, even if no money is changing hands overseas. For photographers and videographers especially, this can be a very dangerous game, and unfortunately too many vendors are not upfront about the fact that they will be travelling on a tourist visa when accepting bookings. And while on many occasions the risk pays off, in the worst cases they can be refused entry, arrested, fined or deported if they don’t have the correct work permits. Whoever you hire, it’s so important to make sure that everything is legal – including whether their contract and insurance (especially liability insurance) covers them for working in your destination.

  3. LOCAL CONTACTS

    Hiring local Cabo vendors, you’ll get the benefit of all of their local contacts. Los Cabos Destination wedding planners who work with local suppliers on a regular basis will often be able to get better deals, and should something unfortunate happen leading up to the event, they’ll probably have a number of people they can call on to help out.

    We all like to pretend that nothing will ever go wrong and everything will be perfect on your Cabo wedding day.  

    But the reality is that sometimes, things happen.  An accident can shut down roads and make it impossible to get from point A to point B.  A thief on the beach can slip away with an entire bag of gear.  Your photographer can be randomly walking down some stairs and fall and twist her ankle (true story!).  

    When these things happen, you want someone who can fix the problem, find a backup, and quick!  Being part of the community means having an instant rescue network.

  4. SPEAKING THE LOCAL LANGUAGE

    Definitely this isn’t limited to just local vendors, as you don’t need to be local to somewhere to speak the language. But having vendors that speak both English and Spanish language can be a big help, both running up to you Los Cabos Wedding and on the day.

5. IT´S CHEAPER

Many destination photographers (or those who are willing to travel to document your big day) hold their clients responsible for their travel expenses in addition to your chosen package. Some photographers will provide their quotes with travel already included and some will provide quotes without travel and stipulate that travel expenses will need to be reimbursed on your final balance bill.

6. ARE FAMILIAR WITH WEATHER PATTERNS

Gorgeous Hyatt Ziva Los Cabos Wedding

This Hyatt Ziva Los Cabos wedding could not be better. Cami and Justin´s wedding day was just perfect in every way

Ceremony took place on the beachfront gazebo and was officiated for the best Minister in town - Minister Marco.  Everyone dined under the stars and after a few tequilas and good music  things got a little wild. I’d call that a pretty perfect day. I love people that know how to have fun and jump to the pool.

Big Congratulations to Cami and Justin. Thanks for having me as your Los Cabos wedding photographer!!
