ONE OF THE BEST
HOME
Arte Visual MF
We have over 30 years of experience in wedding photography in Mexico.
Marcelino Bravo García was named one of the 25 best photographers in Mexico by Kodak in the year 2000 through the publication “The Best Of The Masters” with the support of the Mexican Society of Professional Photographers. He is also certified as a master by PPA (Professional Photographers of America) and has taught classes and seminars in Mexico and abroad. Marcelino is recognized as the best photographer in the Los Altos Jalisco region. Arte Visual MF was created in early 1991, integrating Mrs. Luz Elena Arriaga, a certified master in professional photography known for her fresh approach to portraiture.
The best achievement for a photographer is to create a photograph from the moment of the shot without the need for a computer, which is our mission: to achieve the best possible shot at the best moment of the day, at the best hour, in the best place, with the best lighting, and thus bring the photograph to life.
OUR TEAM
R.I.P
MARCELINO BRAVO
PHOTOGRAPHER - FOUNDER
I was born in 1961 in Cuernavaca, Morelos, and studied civil engineering at UNAM. My passion for photography developed during high school thanks to the influence of my father. For over 35 years, I practiced photography professionally with my family at Arte Visual MF, from the analog era to the digital age.
In 2000, Kodak recognized me as one of the 25 best photographers in Mexico. I was also selected for “Best of the Best of Photography” by PPA in America. I hold certifications as a master photographer both nationally and internationally.
Although I physically left in 2021, my legacy lives on in Arte Visual MF, where my creativity and love for people continue to inspire others.
LUZ ELENA ARRIAGA
PHOTOGRAPHER - FOUNDER
First and foremost, I am a mother and an extremely emotional person. I was born in 1965 in Arandas, Jalisco, and I am part of the creative team at Arte Visual MF. With my three children, we created a family environment immersed in photography since we founded our brand in 1991. I enjoy the details of life, whether it's an afternoon with my family or exploring the world together.
My passion for photography led me to significant achievements. I was the first Latina woman to obtain the title of Master by WPPI and also by the Mexican Association of Professional Photographers.
I am fully dedicated to wedding photography, where I find a deep interpersonal connection that I love to document and share. Each wedding inspires with unique stories and shared moments.
SEBASTIAN BRAVO
PHOTOGRAPHER
I am the eldest son of a family of three siblings and a graduate in industrial design from Tecnológico de Monterrey. I am part of the second generation of photographers at Arte Visual MF. From a young age, I was immersed in workshops, conventions, and photography contests with my parents and their friends. After finishing my degree, my interest in weddings led me to study and define my unique style in the field.
Currently, I am recognized as one of the top 30 rising wedding photographers by Rangefinder and have been featured on major wedding blogs worldwide. With over 300 weddings documented, this experience has been key in shaping my professional path.
I enjoy traveling, coffee, and spending quality time with my loved ones.
NATALIA BRAVO
PHOTOGRAPHER
I am Natalia Bravo, the third and youngest daughter of Marcelino and Luz Elena, founders of Arte Visual MF over 30 years ago. I consider myself a multidisciplinary artist, exploring photography, poetry, and music. I believe in the interconnection between artistic disciplines and in human growth through mastering our gifts.
I am a spiritual and determined person, seeking to capture emotions and beauty with authenticity. Weddings have been an integral part of my life, but it was when I documented my first story that my vision changed. Every wedding I photograph is a sacred experience, an opportunity to immerse myself in love and narrate unions from a unique perspective.
Currently, I focus on music and limit my annual events, but I trust that my path will continue to cross with the right people as I continue to explore and grow as an artist.

I am an organized, responsible, and patient person. As a dancer at heart, merging my passion with my work has been a blessing. I have had the opportunity to discover and fall in love with various disciplines such as dance, music, theater, painting, and now photography.
Although I am not the creative part of the process, I love knowing that I am part of it. I enjoy being in contact with couples, seeing their excitement, and exceeding their expectations. Seeing the final product is a gratifying experience.
I am shy but restless, and I fear staying in my comfort zone. I am excited to face new challenges and learnings that allow me to grow. I am always willing to give my best and strive to the maximum.
