Pros: Amazing photos, friendly photographer, great quality
Cons: none
My husband Troy and I just got married in November at the Gran Bahia Principe Tulum gazebo. Beforehand, I saw Arricefes facebook page and I knew they did great work. Martin was our wonderful, amazing photographer that day and let me tell you he beyond exceeded our expectations!! I seriously have not gone a day since the wedding without looking through my wedding pictures again and again, they are sooooo amazing!! All the staff that I met that worked for Arricefe are also very friendly and courte

Pros: They capture all the special moments
Cons: The photos are shown to music but do not come this way ( was never offered)
AThe photos are all captured from different angles and you don't even notice the photographer half of the time, we went to view our photos and I was sat in tears, they are amazing, they have on a disc the photos which are played to music (they do not come this way tho) and u have to pick the number of photos on the package you have chosen, it was that hard we had the lot !!!! Really professional and love looking through them:)

Pros: Great photographers, friendly staff, professional service!
Cons: This is NOT a con but take more money than you have budgeted for photos!
We got married at the Gran Bahia Principe TULUM on the 19th October 2012. Martin was our photographer and all I can say is WOW! We can't fault ANYTHING regards to the wedding co-ordinator (Jazmine) and the team at Arrecife Studio. The ONLY thing I would say is the packages are a bit pricey and we only budgeted for £800 but ended up spending £1500! This also included a 15 minute edited video which is absolutely stunning! Until you view your pictures you have no idea what they are going to look li

Pros: great photographers, clear instructions
Cons: pricey
We were married on May 3, 2012 and used Arrecife Studio for full day video & photos during the ceremony. Our videographer was Tony and head photographer was Jorge. Both did a fantastic job capturing our wedding/photo session. Our wedding package included 15 photos and we knew there was no way we could walk out of our viewing appointment without purchasing additional photos. We had over 140 photos and we chose 47 of them. It was extremely difficult but since we had a secondary photographer, w

Pros: Great vision, professional services
Cons: pushy manger
We got married on Apr 21, 2011 at Akumal Hammock location. Nestor was our photographer and he is AMASING!!!! He took unbelievable photos of me getting ready and then at the ceremony and after. He asked us what photography style we liked and since we both know and love photography we wanted a journalistic/candid photos. That is what we got. We got so giddy after the ceremony that Nestor did not had to ask us to show our emotions… J He did a lot of posed pictures, but they were not stiff and

We got married at the GRAN BAHIA PRINCIPE COBA on 5-04-11 and we had Diego from Arrecife studio.
We had 10 free pics as part of our wedding pack. When we met with the WC the first day a lady from the ARRECIFE STUDIO joined later to talk about prices, etc. We had been sent the list by Maria in advance and had a budget for photos.
The lady was very pushy and not having another option for photos we agreed a certain pack with her (73 pics in total of both ceremonies plus after at the beach. I

Pros: Stunning unique wedding photos
Cons: Price as we didn't anticipate buying all wedding photos
We were married at the GBP Akumal February 2011 and had Diego as our photographer. We would highly recommend Arrecife Studio as they captured our wedding day perfectly, taking beautiful, unique and artistic photos. We went into this experience thinking we'd only buy the basic least expensive wedding photo package. After viewing the photos the day after our wedding with the photographer we couldn't help but upgrade our package so we could take all our wedding photos with us, we loved them all!

Pros: Everything
Cons: Price was more than we wanted to spend, but we didn't know we would buy so many pictures.
I have to start by saying I was skeptical at first about having to use the resort's photograper. My husband and I were married at The Gran Bahia Principe Akumal in December, 2010. We had Juan as our photographer and he was absolutely amazing! He was so energenic, passionate and a overall a joy to be around. He captured such beautiful and artistic pictures of us. I have never seen us look so amazing and really didn't know we had it in us. I have had so many compliments on our pictures and ha

My husband and I were married at Grand Bahia Principe COBA on January 12, 2011. We were very skeptical on finding a photographer or what the quality of the pictures would be like, especially in another country. We are from Toronto, ON and had no idea what to expect. Nestor took our pictures and they came out stunning and breath-taking! Straight from a magazine. We highly recommend his work. Only negative is to be prepared to spend the money. We went down with a budget and only wanting to buy the

We were married at the Gran Bahia Principe Akumal on January 26, 2011. Our whole vacation was wonderful. Our wedding day was AMAZING and turned out better than we had expected. Our photography was done by Martin, who did a fantastic job and was so friendly. We had fun taking the photos. We would HIGHLY recommend this resort and ESPECIALLY Arrecife Studios (Martin) for photography, we have nothing bad to say!
Thanks again Martin

We were married December 16, 2010 at the Gran Bahia Principe Tulum. Nestor took our photos, and did an incredible job. The photos are breathtaking! I didn't even notice him taking the pictures, he just slid into the background. He captured such emotional pictures.
Nestor went on holidays after our wedding, so Juan helped us choose our photos. He was great to work with as well.

Our wedding was on December 05, 2010 at the Gran Bahia Principe Tulum and Nestor was our photographer.
Nestor did a fabulous job and captured our special day better than I could have asked for. The slideshow he put together for us is extremely professional and emotional. Once we realised how talented Nestor was we asked him to select the songs and picture sequences himself and he did a great job!
I would and actually already have recommended the Arrecife Studios to friends getting marr

My husband and i were married at the Gran Bahia Principe Coba, on November 23, 2010. Nestor was our photographer. We originally commited to the basic package, with 36 photographs, but the work was so outstanding we purchased them all!!! The cost was similar to any other typical wedding photography package. We were very impressed by the professionalism, talent, and artisitc spin on the photographs. Nestor captured the feeling of our special day for us, it was amazing. I have viewd the DVD slidesh

Pros: Amazing, Creative, Fun, Unique, Quality
Cons: None
Our wedding was on November 18, 2010 at the Gran Bahia Principe Akumal. Nestor was our photographer and he did an amazing job. We were both very impressed with his skill and unique perspective and angles on photos. Despite the rain he managed to still do a great job and get a ton of breathtaking shots. We ended up purchasing more photos then we had originally planned, as there were just so many good ones we couldnt pass them up.
I would definetly recommend Arrecife Studio to anyone and N

Pros: Unique photo's, great quality and variety of options
Cons: Need a smaller package for renewals,
My husband and I renewed our vows on October 28th, 2010 and had the pleasure of working with Juan. He capture the true spirit and essence of our ceremony though his lens. Each photo evoked special feelings and made it EXTREMELY difficult to choose. We bought some of the none wedding shots to mount on canvas as art and give as gifts to our friends. True talent!

Pros: Creative, artistic, patient, affordable, JUAN!
Cons: The only Con I would say is that I didn't know how great they would be or I would have budgeted more for the pictures, I wanted ALL of them!
My husband and I were married at the Grand Bahia Principe Coba over labor day weekend. Juan from Arrecife Studio was our photographer and all I can say is WOW! He was amazing to work with. It was very clear from the moment we met him that he truly loves what he does. He was very creative with the photos he took and did an excellent job of catching the true emotion we were feeling.
If you are planning a destination wedding, look into this location and definitely this photographer. I wante
