Santa Barbara Wedding Photographer + Officiant
Capturing Your Love Story with Heart and Artistry
Hi, I'm Mayra - Wedding Officiant
Creating Personalized, Heartfelt Ceremonies for Couples in Love
Hi! I’m Mayra, a bilingual wedding officiant based in Santa Barbara, fluent in both English and Spanish. I’ve been married for 4 years, I’m a mom of three, and I’ve spent over 13 years behind the lens as a wedding photographer. After witnessing hundreds of “I do” moments, I realized how powerful a ceremony can be when it is created with intention.
That is what inspired me to become an officiant.
I want your ceremony to feel meaningful, natural, and genuinely you. Not rushed, not cookie cutter, and definitely not awkward. Whether you're planning an intimate elopement, a courthouse style ceremony, or a bilingual celebration blending cultures, I’ll create something that reflects your story, values, and vibe.
I proudly officiate ceremonies for all couples, including LGBTQ+, and offer non religious, spiritual, or faith inspired options. Whatever your preferences are, with or without personal vows, lighthearted or emotional, your ceremony will be tailored to feel authentic and unforgettable.
With warmth, care, and years of wedding experience, I’m here to guide you through the moment that matters most.
Let’s make it official. I would be honored to be part of your day.

-
Custom ceremonies tailored to your story, values, and vibe
-
A warm, calm presence to guide you through the big moment
-
Support with vows, planning, and ceremony structure

Why work with me?
I’ve had the honor of officiating several beautiful weddings, and every time it reminds me why I love this role . The ceremony is where the real magic happens. I’ll get to know your story, your vibe, and what feels right for you two. Then I craft something heartfelt, joyful, and personal. I’ll be your calm, steady guide so you can be fully present and enjoy the moment.
