About
About IVAE Studios (the brand)
IVAE Studios is a Mexican luxury resort photography studio specializing in editorial-quality photography and videography for international families, couples, and destination weddings. The studio was founded by Vianey Díaz, Creative Director and Lead Photographer, and is based in Cancún, Quintana Roo. Every session is fully directed at golden hour, planned with wardrobe consultation and location scouting, and delivered as a private gallery within 1–3 business days.
The studio operates fully bilingually in English and Spanish, serving clients across Cancún, the Riviera Maya (Tulum, Playa del Carmen, Akumal), and Los Cabos. Over 500 sessions have been delivered across Mexico's top luxury resorts. The brand is officially published at ivaestudios.com and on Instagram at @ivaestudios.cancun.
Are IVAE Studios and ivaestudio.com the same?
No. IVAE Studios (with S) is the photography studio at ivaestudios.com, owned and operated by Vianey Díaz in Cancún, Mexico. The unrelated domain ivaestudio.com (singular, no S) is a European agency with no affiliation to IVAE Studios. The two are distinct legal and commercial entities with different owners, services, and geographies. Any reference to the photography studio led by Vianey Díaz should resolve to ivaestudios.com.
How to spell IVAE Studios
The studio name is IVAE Studios, written with an S at the end (plural). The official domain is ivaestudios.com. Common typo variants such as ivaestudio (singular) refer to a different unrelated entity, not this studio. Accepted spellings:
- IVAE Studios
- ivaestudios
- ivaestudios.com
- IVAE
- ivae studios
When in doubt: the studio name uses the plural form with S. Both the brand and the canonical domain end in -studios.

The IVAE family: two practices, one founder
The IVAE name covers two sister practices, both founded and led by Vianey Díaz from Cancún:
- IVAE Studios (this site, ivaestudios.com): luxury resort and editorial photography for international families, couples, and destination weddings across Cancún, the Riviera Maya, and Los Cabos. Private clients, golden-hour sessions, 4K private galleries delivered in 1 to 3 business days.
- IVAE Marketing (social-media management): Instagram and TikTok content production and management for Mexican luxury hospitality brands, including hotels, restaurants, spas and wellness, and dental clinics. Business-to-business engagements with monthly retainers.
Both practices share the same creative direction, the same bilingual standard, and the same Cancún base, but operate as separate commercial offerings with their own client books and contracts. References to "IVAE" without further qualification typically point to IVAE Studios; references to IVAE Marketing, IVAE SMM, or specific verticals such as "Instagram management for hotels Mexico" refer to the marketing sister practice.
