Pros: Prompt communication! Thorough! Friendly!
I was lucky to travel to Mexico last November for another friends wedding in the Cancun Area and got to meet Gonzalo in person before our wedding. Email communication before arrival was very prompt and he was more than happy to come to our resort to meet us. For me, this made me extremely comfortable and trusting with him and that he would deliver. I followed him on Facebook leading up until the wedding and could not wait to see what our pictures would turn out like. The day of our wedding, I

Pros: Artistic, Responsive, Amazing
Cons: None!
Imaginative. Creative. Fun. Amazing. There are not enough positive words to describe our experience working with Gonzalo. The consummate professional, his vision saw the beauty in everything around us allowing our photos to be alive and beautiful. So simply put, thank you Gonzalo. The experience was the perfect start to planning our wedding. We cannot thank Gonzalo enough for such amazing photos that we will cherish for many years to come.

Cons: can't think of one
We couldn't be happier that we chose Gonzalo to be our photographer for the most important day of our lives. Working with him was fun! He made us feel very comfortable and we had such a great time. We received our pictures in the mail today and we were blown away. Not only did we get them quicker than we could have ever dreamed but he also captured the most important moments and in the most beautiful way. He is affordable too! He could be charging so much more for the talent that he brings

Pros: Everything
Cons: Nothing
I can not say enough about Gonzalo! He was truly amazing to work with and probably the best decision I made regarding my wedding. I first got in touch with him in August after doing some research and emailing different photographers. Gonzalo was very fast to respond and after reviewing his photos and going over his prices there was no doubt that I needed to book him. He was so easy to work with and very accomodating! I emailed him very frequently throughout the planning process and he always res

Pros: affordable editorial style wedding photography, flexible with style of photos, knowledgeable, experienced, personable, helped loosen up my groom
We had a very intimate wedding at the Hacienda Chichen. Gonzalo and his wife were wonderful
from beginning to end. Gonzalo answered all my questions promptly and was very informative.
He listed every expense from the very beginning, and was very honest about pricing. Finding
a photographer like him was an absolute gem! I've been researching wedding photographers for
a couple of years now and its hard to find a photographer who is flexible in photography style
with what is needed

We used Gonzalo Nunez as our photographer at The Royal Playa del Carmen on March 29, 2012. He was amazing!!! He is extremely talented and very professional. We just got our pictures and our slideshow back and I was so impressed with our photos. They look like photos taken out of a magazine!!!! I have so many nice photos that I can't decide which ones are my favorites. I am so happy that we went with Gonzalo and would HIGHLY recommend his work. He is awesome!

Gonzalo is amazing. He is such a wonderful, sincere and kind hearted man. Everyone in our wedding party just loved him and his assistant Lunic.
I am quite shy and self conscious infront of the camera, I just freeze and tense up. So, it was hoping to find a photographer who was going to make me feel at ease and comfortable. Gonzalo has such a great, calm energy about him that I was able to finally relax and enjoy the day... and it was an unforgettable good time!
We had an amazing exp

Pros: dependable, personable, talented
Cons: none
On February 29, 2012 my now fiance Shaun planned a surprise proposal followed by a day of adventure and romance and had Gonzalo Nunez there to capture every moment. We started at the Grand Cenote where my fiance proposed. Gonzalo and his protege Lunic were off behind bushes and benches and unobtrusively captured the most beautiful shots of such an amazing moment. Next up was our plunge into the waters of the cenote for our underwater session. I had absolutely no idea how to hold my breath an

Pros: Professional, creative, flexible, so much fun to hang out with
Cons: Two days and it still wasn't enough time!
Honestly words cannot express how much admiration, respect and gratitude I have for this man. We hired him for the wedding day (10 hours) and TTD (4 hours including transportation time but we ended up going for 8) and brought an assistant for both. He has such a calm demeanor but is so creative and fun. Although we had a 2 hour break between the ceremony and reception, we didn't have that much time to take bridal party shots as I had to change into a second dress and make it to the other end of

Pros: Passionate, fun, artistic, creative, image shortyteller, million dollar shots for an affordable price!,
Cons: Absolutely NONE! My husband has many complaints but not one was about Gonzalo because that's how great he was!
AHonestly, Gonzalo deserves more stars then BDW is allowing me to give! He went way beyond our expectations!!!!
Like most other brides, I have never been to a destination wedding let alone plan one. I was nervous about many things because talking to someone through emails is not always sufficient. Will he be like you imagine? Will he take pictures that I will love for a lifetime? Will he work well with my family (and trust me when I say that it was a concern with my family lol)? There are so

Pros: great pictures, friendly, flexible, very good price
Cons: none
I just got my pictures the day before yesterday. When I was watching them, I was blowing away and I was in tears.
Gonzalo's work captured the most precious moment in my life. The pictures have very high quality. My husband used to do photography himself and I had more than 10 professional kind cameras in my wedding which belong to my guests. It was so fun to see how pictures came out from different angles. When I shared Gonzalo's pictures with my guests, they are very impressed with his

Pros: Communicates immediately, flexible, resonable prices, great work quality, helpful, friendly and photographer
Cons: None
I am mexican and live in the United States for many years. After many reviews, research and e-mails, I finally got in contact with Gonzalo Nunez. I really like photography, I have a very good sense of what I like and I know to distinguish good quality work.
He immeditely got back to my emails and mantained an incredible level of communication through all the process of schedualing a photo session with us. We chose an engagement session on our near by visit to the Riviera Maya, so we coul

Pros: creative, friendly, great and quick communication both pre and post wedding, great pricing options, fun, patient, professional, AMAZING!!
Cons: none
We got married in the Riviera Maya on 11/12/11. In planning the wedding, we were trying to keep costs down, but were also not satisfied with the resort's included photo package and the fact that we couldn't know exactly what photographer would be there, nor could we see samples of work. Needless to say I then started doing LOTS of research and contacted a number of photographers. Based on the reviews and prices I had seen from other BDW brides, Gonzalo seemed to be the best fit for our style, vi

Pros: Artistic, fun, friendly, accessible, EVERYTHING!
Cons: No complaints here :)
My husband and I got married in Cancun, Mexico on December 9, 2011. We booked Gonzalo for a TTD session to have a fresh, fun shoot. However, once we got started I really didn't want to totally trash my dress, and he was totally cool about it. He really goes above and beyond to get to know you and make you feel comfortable... not to mention he produces seriously gorgeous photos!!! I would absolutely recommend him to everyone! I've attached two of our favorites...

Pros: Professional, passionate, creative, improvise, and fun to work with
Cons: Can't think of any
I felt so lucky to have Gonzalo shoot our wedding! The entire week we stayed in playa, our wedding at 3pm on 11/27 was the only time it rained. Despite gloomy weather and light situation, Gonzalo delivered many amazing shots, capturing the best moment! He went out his way to stay longer for our dance and reception, and ended up giving us many more pictures! We're so happy with pictures and definitely recommend him to every bride!
Don't even mention his tremendous help finding local vendo

Pros: Friendly, creative and passionate
Cons: I want more photo shoots with him!!!
Gonzalo Nunez - what an incredible man!
The moment you begin dealing with him you can feel his passion for his work and his clients. There was positive energy oozing from his emails and phone calls. Gonzalo was also very responsible, very reasonably priced and very flexible with packages and arrangement on the day.
On the day he was extremely punctual (ie, early!... also for the TTD session the next morning). He interacted with me and the wedding party (and friends) really wel

Pros: all

I just married in Mexico. After a little research in Google I found Gonzalo. I sent to him the first email, and I received an answer in the very same day, in fact in hours.
He was so important in my wedding day.
He is kind, experienced, attentive to everything going on from the beginning to the end!
We don't have any experience in planning our wedding, but he was there, always helping with anything we asked.
His communication is fast and accurate, I am really trilled with his serv

Pros: Communication Excellent, Fun and Friendly,
I priced out and looked at alot of photographers for our Mayan wedding. Photography was important to us but we didn't want to break the bank.
From the start Gonzalo gave 5 star service, he got back to all my emails and answered all my questions immediately. He was very friendly and fun even over emails. His blog was beautiful, Mexico is a beautiful back drop to begin with but there was just something special about his photos.
We had Gonzalo for 10 hours on wedding day and 6 hou

Pros: Friendly, professional, easy going, gives direction well, very good communication in person and email
Cons: none : )
Gonzalo photographed our wedding in Cancun on November 5th, 2011. I can honestly say that I am beyond thrilled that we booked him. I did quite a bit of research and loved his work. In my opinion you couldn't find a better photographer for the money! He was very quick to respond to emails, and seemed very pleasant. From the moment he got to our resort he was so warm and friendly. He blended right in to the background while I was getting my hair done. OH and he was a crowd favorite with my brides

Pros: Professional, Creative, Patient, Affordable
Our wedding experience at Dreams Tulum Resort and Spa on December 5, 2011 was nothing but FABULOUS!!!!! We had 5 months to organize a destination wedding and we had NO idea where to begin. Funny, the first thing we confirmed was our photographer Gonzalo Nunez. I was fascinated and intrigued with his creative work. After countless emails back and forth we have established an awesome relationship and friendship.
Gonzalo loves photography and being creative. He puts his whole heart into his work

I booked Gonzalo Nunez back in the winder to take our Rivera Maya wedding photos! I am SO glad I did!
He was great to work with. His creative imagination, his attention to detail... all amazing. Gonzalo speaks great English, so he is easy to communicate with. Also, if I asked him a question over email, he was very prompt on getting back to me.
99% of my family commented the day of the wedding on how great our photographer was and where did I find this guy. I found him here.... on

Pros: Creative, kind, easy to work with, I can not say enough nice things!
I hope this works, because I have tired to post this 5 times now and it is not working, but I MUST post this review for everyone to see!
Where do I even begin?! Gonzalo is absolutely AMAZING! My Fiance and I meet with Gonzalo in New York City for our engagement photo shoot in the beginning of October. ( I know my review is late, but better late than never!) He is awesome, and it was worth every single second of our 8 hour trip from Pittsburgh, Pa to NYC to meet with Gonzalo! Before

Pros: easy to work with, great ideas, excellent communication, fun
Cons: none
My husband and I got married in Texas. I've heard about TTD and I tough it would be a good idea for our honeymoon.
After some days of research we found Gonzalo. Immediately I felt in love with his work.
He is very helpful, and always in time in his emails. In the first mail I already know that he would be my photographer.
At the time of the session, he showed his skills, running, climbing rocks, diving, we spent the best time in La Riviera with him!
The pictures come out great!

Pros: Gonzalo is very professional. He listens to what your expectations are and accommodates to your needs. Had so much fun doing trash, awesome experience
Cons: Can we have more space to list the Pros instead of Cons?
AAfter weeks and weeks of research, we've decided to bring our own photographer from home. Seemed like a good idea at first, after reading about a bride who had hired an amateur photog trying to build their portfolio for a fraction of the cost. So we put down a deposit into our group booking and hoped to find a decent photog just starting out. I had posted an ad in our community looking for THE photog and received 50+ emails. I looked through their portfolios one by one very carefully. But as t
