Based in Costa Rica
Destination Photographer. Available worldwide for weddings, elopements and intimate sessions.
Documenting love and new beginnings since 2020.
Hello, i'm regina
I am a mother, entrepreneur, designer, and your trustworthy photographer of real stories.
Bendito Recuerdo was born in Guatemala, among mountains, lake, and volcanoes, as a dream to capture what the heart feels but words cannot always express.
Today, a new chapter begins from Costa Rica — my homeland — with the same intention: to create memories that can truly be felt.
At Bendito Recuerdo, we believe photography goes beyond technique; it is about building trust and creating a serene space in every session.
I love connecting with you first — having an initial call to understand your vision and your purpose, whether it’s an engagement, a maternity session, a meaningful event, or your wedding — and approaching each project with the commitment to deliver a gallery filled with authenticity, sensitivity, and professionalism.
My goal is not simply to take photographs, but to freeze small moments that can bring you back to that feeling again and again.
From our first conversation to the final delivery, I am here to make your experience seamless, personal, and unforgettable.

I had the most incredible boudoir photoshoot with Regi, and I cannot recommend her enough! From the moment we started, she made me feel confident, beautiful, and completely comfortable. She has such a warm and professional presence that instantly put me at ease. Regi brought my Pinterest vision to life in ways I couldn’t have imagined. Every shot was stunning, and I am absolutely obsessed with the final photos—I want to print all of them! If you’re looking for a photographer who truly understands how to capture beauty and empowerment, Regi is the one.

Regi was amazing from start to finish! She helped me narrow down a location based on my preferences and she was really knowledgeable about where were the best places for the best shots around the lake. She was so sweet and kind during the photoshoot and I felt very comfortable with her the whole time. I would highly recommend her to anyone that wants to capture a special moment or get some high quality photos for memories!

FAQ
How far in advance should we book?
Minimum a week in advance. This give us (you and I) time to plan properly and scout locations, in case you don't have a location set.
Do you travel?
Yes, we add a 35% to the pricing for travel expenses for locations further than 10km radius.
What happens if it rains?
LATAM is well known for a sassy winter, and weather can be unpredictable between June and October. So, if rain falls we can either re-schedule your session (subject to availability) or we can make the most of it with what we have and get gorgeous, dramatic takes.
Can you help choose locations?
Absolutely! You tell me what you're envisioning for your final gallery and I can recommend a couple options based on past experiences.
How long until we receive photos?
Depending on your package they can take from 10 business days to several weeks. I make sure to disclose this information once you're set on a photoshoot style.
What should we wear?
I love this question! Whatever makes you feel your best self. Pro tip: Think timeless and not trendy ;)
why work with me?
Because your story deserves to be held with care.
I approach each session with sensitivity and calm presence, gently guiding you so you can feel comfortable, natural, and truly yourself. You don’t need to know how to pose — you just need to show up as you are.
My intention goes beyond delivering beautiful photographs. I want you to feel seen, supported, and at ease — and to receive a gallery that feels honest and deeply personal.
Because more than images, you are entrusting me with a moment that will never exist in the same way again.
If your photographs are meant to become family heirlooms, I'd love to help you create them.
