SOLAYA is a husband-wife team offering integrated photography, videography, and planning for destination weddings, wellness retreats, and transformative experiences in Tulum, Mexico and beyond. SOLAYA | Luxury Wedding Photography, Videography & Planning

We are a boutique photography, videography, and event planning studio specializing in destination weddings, wellness retreats, and transformative

experiences in Tulum, Mexico and beyond. Founded by husband-wife team Vayle and Zack, SOLAYA emerged from our own destination wedding experience in Tulum. We discovered that when artistic documentation and intentional design work in harmony, something magical happens—celebrations become not just beautiful events, but complete sensory experiences that honor each unique story. What Sets Us Apart:
Our integrated approach means we're not just photographers or planners—we're both. Zack's documentary-editorial approach to photography and film captures authentic moments with cinematic sophistication, while Vayle transforms spaces and orchestrates timelines with an artist's attention to detail. Together, we create celebrations where every element works in harmony, ensuring no detail is overlooked and no moment goes uncaptured.

We’re officially launching SOLAYA—and we have something special for our first five clients.

After months of building toward this moment, we’re ready. Ready to create the kind of destination wedding experiences we lived ourselves. Ready to integrate planning and filmmaking in ways that honor your complete story, not just the highlight reel.

Founders’ Rates: 25% off for our first 5 complete wedding bookings.

This isn’t about compromising quality—it’s about partnership. You get the full SOLAYA experience (15-20 min films, 600+ photos, seamless planning) at exceptional value. We get to establish our presence in Tulum’s wedding landscape with couples who believe in our vision.

We’ve done this work. Vayle planned and designed our entire destination wedding. I’ve shot weddings and spent months crafting our own wedding films. We understand this from both sides—as creatives and as the couple living it.

Now we’re asking five couples to grow alongside us.

DM us if you want to be one of the 5.

The late afternoon light filters through the palms outside our studio here in Tulum. This is the moment we've been building toward.

SOLAYA is officially open.

After planning our own March wedding here—after I spent months editing our films and Vayle orchestrated every detail of our multi-day celebration—we learned something crucial:
The magic happens when planning and filmmaking work in perfect harmony.

When the planner understands light. When the filmmaker anticipates the flow. When it's one team, one vision, one complete story.

That's what we're offering. And for our first 5 clients, we're offering it at 25% off.

Not because we're uncertain about our work—we know what we're capable of. But because we're establishing ourselves in Tulum's destination wedding landscape, and we believe in building something meaningful with intention.

You get the full experience:
→ 15-20 min narrative films that tell your complete story
→ 600+ photos that capture authentic moments
→ Planning AND design that creates the experience, not just the event

We get partners who believe in our vision.

5 spots. Founders' rates. First come, first served.

Full details can be found on the blog, or DM us to talk.

SOLAYA launches with Founders' Rates: 25% off integrated wedding planning, filmmaking, and photography for our first five Tulum destination wedding clients. Premium quality, exceptional value.

In the smallest details, the greatest love stories are told. Each element—from delicate invitation script to the weight of wedding rings, the lace of the gown to hand-tied bouquet stems—carries a piece of the journey. These aren’t just wedding details; they’re heirlooms in the making, tangible memories of a day that changed everything. Every choice deliberate, every piece meaningful, every moment designed to be felt.

Elegance lives in the details. Reception tables became intimate worlds unto themselves—where flickering candlelight met thoughtful table numbers, where every place setting told guests they were exactly where they belonged. Against Tulum’s endless sky, an atmosphere of refined celebration emerged, where sophistication feels effortless and every detail invites guests to slow down, savor, and celebrate love in its most beautiful form.

Some moments don’t need direction—they just need to be witnessed.

This is what documentary wedding filmmaking looks like: real emotion, unscripted beauty, the moments that make you forget the camera exists.

Where the jungle meets the sea, and two souls become one. Every element of this ceremony design was intentionally curated to honor the sacred landscape of Tulum—from organic florals that mirror the lush canopy above to flowing fabrics that dance with the Caribbean breeze. This is where forever began, surrounded by the raw beauty of nature and the timeless elegance of intentional design.

After 6 months of editing (and falling in love with these moments all over again), our Tulum wedding film is finally here.

This 16-minute film isn’t just our wedding video—it’s the reason we do what we do. It’s proof of what happens when you gather your favorite people in a beautiful place and let the experience unfold naturally. Our sincerest appreciation for Aron and Levi, the photographer and videographer who helped capture all these moments for us to put together.

4 days of swimming in cenotes, sunset dinners, and genuine connection with our people before saying “I do” on the beach at NEST Tulum. By the time we reached our vows, everyone already felt like family.

This is what we create for our couples. This level of storytelling, this emotional depth, this care. Link in bio to watch the full film.

From dream to reality ✨ Planning our Tulum wedding was a journey of love, creativity, and endless inspiration. We knew we wanted something that felt authentically us - raw, romantic, and deeply connected to this magical place.

Our ceremony unfolded on the beach with the Caribbean as our backdrop, waves whispering our vows back to the universe. Then we moved into the lush jungle for our reception where nature became our guide and every corner told our story.

Every detail was thoughtfully crafted - from custom signage that guided our guests through to table designs that married elegance with Tulum’s bohemian spirit. The florals brought our vision to life with arrangements that felt like they grew from the jungle itself.

We captured every stolen glance, every laugh, every tear - preserving not just moments but the feeling of pure magic that surrounded us.

Tulum didn’t just host our wedding; it became part of our love story. Here’s to planning something that felt less like an event and more like coming home 🌿🤍

TWO HEARTS, ONE VISION 🤍

Our story began as two artists who fell in love and chose Tulum for our own wedding. That experience revealed our purpose: blending Zack’s documentary eye with Vayle’s design sensibility to create celebrations where nothing is overlooked and every moment is intentionally captured.

From our love story to yours—we’re not just another vendor team, but partners who understand the journey because we’ve lived it. Together, we create more than beautiful images; we craft complete sensory experiences that honor your unique connection.
