For Irvin and his wife, photography isn’t just a profession—it’s a shared journey that began with curiosity and evolved into a lifelong passion. Based in Baja California, México, the duo behind Hello Norte have been capturing love stories together for nearly a decade, crafting timeless memories through their lens.
We are a husband-and-wife team based in Baja California, México, and we have been specializing in wedding and couples photography for nine years.
Though Irvin has over 15 years of experience in photography, it’s their combined creative energy that defines the signature Hello Norte experience. Their work has taken them far beyond Baja—to beaches, vineyards, and cities around the world—each destination offering new opportunities to tell love stories in their truest form.
What makes Hello Norte’s work stand out is their unwavering commitment to authenticity. Their documentary-style photography captures the heartbeat of each celebration—real emotions, raw beauty, and spontaneous joy.
“We focus on capturing the real, unposed moments, letting your day unfold naturally and focusing on authentic connection, joy, and movement.”
Their images are a testament to life as it happens—unfiltered and filled with emotion. Instead of staging moments, they allow stories to evolve on their own, transforming fleeting glances and quiet gestures into everlasting memories.
Hello Norte’s visual magic comes to life with precision and passion. Working primarily with Sony A7 IV cameras and 35mm and 24–70mm lenses, they combine technical excellence with artistic sensitivity. But for them, gear is just a means to an end—the real art lies in perspective.
When it comes to post-processing, their philosophy is simple: keep it natural, timeless, and true.
“Our editing style focuses on natural, true-to-life tones. We avoid heavy filters or trends that might look dated later.”
Inspired by Fuji film tones, their color grading adds a hint of nostalgia—creating images that feel cinematic yet intimate, modern yet enduring.
Photography, for Hello Norte, is as much about people as it is about pictures. Their approach revolves around empathy, understanding, and genuine connection.
“First and foremost, we genuinely love to listen to our clients. We want to understand your vision for the day and what truly matters most to you.”
They see each couple not as clients, but as collaborators in storytelling. That trust—built through listening and mutual respect—forms the foundation of every image they create.
We give our couples the confidence that we absolutely love what we do and that giving our absolute best at every single wedding is our main commitment.
Every love story is unique, and so is every Hello Norte experience. The duo takes pride in offering customized wedding packages that align with each couple’s vision, style, and budget.
“While we offer comprehensive collections, we are always happy to work with couples to create a custom package that aligns perfectly with their specific style, needs, and budget.”
Whether it’s a beachfront ceremony in Tulum, an intimate elopement in Europe, or a grand celebration in Mexico City, Hello Norte tailors every detail to reflect authenticity and emotion.
Looking back, Irvin shares a piece of wisdom that reflects the duo’s creative philosophy and perseverance.
The key is to confidently pursue what you love, and to dedicate yourself to the ongoing preparation and hard work necessary to achieve the level of success and impact that our great photography idols have reached.
Their journey is one of evolution—rooted in passion, patience, and a relentless drive to grow while staying true to their artistic vision.
Hello Norte believes that great photography starts with trust, comfort, and presence. Their advice to couples is heartfelt and practical:
“Trust your vendor team, hire professionals you genuinely like, and then simply trust their expertise! When you relax and trust your planner, photographer, and other vendors, the day runs smoother, and your photos will feel more natural and joyful.”
They also encourage couples to let go and immerse themselves fully in the celebration.
“For candid, documentary-style photos, the best thing you can do is forget we are there! Focus on each other, your family, and your guests. The more you immerse yourselves in the event, the more authentic and emotional your final gallery will be.”
For this adventurous duo, travel isn’t just a part of the job—it’s an endless source of inspiration. They’ve documented weddings across continents, always seeking new ways to tell universal stories of love in breathtaking places.
Yes, we absolutely love shooting destination weddings! Our favorite destination is any beautiful beach.
From sunlit ceremonies on tropical shores to romantic sunset vows in Mexico’s coastal towns, Hello Norte thrives wherever nature, emotion, and love converge.
Through the years, Hello Norte has become more than a photography brand—it’s a reflection of love, artistry, and human connection. Their ability to balance professionalism with warmth, precision with passion, and beauty with truth makes them one of the most inspiring creative teams in contemporary wedding photography.
Every photo they take whispers the same story: love, in its purest form, needs no direction—it just needs to be seen.
