About María José

Chicago-based wedding photographer

Somewhere between stillness and motion, emotion and detail—that’s where I live.

I’m María José Muñoz, a wedding photographer shaped by the soul of Mexico City, where I was born and raised. It’s a place full of textures, contrasts, beauty, chaos, and intimacy. That richness informs everything I see and how I document love stories.

Now based between Chicago and Mexico, I bring a dual perspective—effortlessly blending editorial sophistication with documentary honesty. My work is grounded in the in-between moments: the deep breaths, the subtle glances, the quiet magic that unfolds when no one is looking.

Fluent in both Spanish and English, I value connection above all. My presence is intuitive and calm, a quiet witness to the unfolding of your day.

Photography became part of my life while studying communications, but it was the people—their energy, their story—that truly pulled me in. With over 80 weddings captured, I’ve come to believe in the poetry of the imperfect, the gentle beauty of what’s real.

This is less about posing and more about presence. Less about perfection and more about emotion.

If you feel drawn to something deeper, something more intentional—maybe we’re meant to cross paths.
