Cons: None
My husband and I were married at The Excellence Riviera Maya in December 2013. When we were going through the process of selecting a resort with our wedding planner, she sent us some pictures of a real wedding at The Excellence, and we instantly fell in love with the pictures and the resort. Our wedding planner told us they were taken by Claudia Photo. At the same time a friend of mine told me she strongly recommended a wedding photographer in Riviera Maya, and it turned out to also be Claudia!

Pros: Friendly, Prompt Communication, Excellent Photos
Cons: none
Our wedding was March 2014 at Grand Palladium Resort in Mayan Riviera. I discovered Claudia from reading online reviews and forums. After checking out her website, I knew that I wanted Claudia to be the one to photograph our wedding. Her photos are beautiful, unique and the she seems to be able to capture amazing photos in the most simple ways, using the nature around her. She was always prompt and friendly with emails so I had a good feeding before meeting on our wedding day.

Pros: Very timely, Professional, Work Ethic, Eye for Detail
We just got married in February 2014 at the Now Jade Riviera Maya Resort in Mexico. We chose Claudia as our wedding photographer because she came highly recommended to us by my brother as well as a friend of ours and it was the best decision we made. From the very first email that was sent was a great experience. She is very timely with responding to emails and even asked a little bit about us on how we first met (I'm pretty sure she is always at her computer working). On the day of the wedd

Cons: None!
My husband and I got married in April of 2012 and used Claudia and her team for our wedding pictures at the Grand Palladium in the Mayan Riveria. She was recommended to us from a friend of mine at work who had just gotten married the year previous. When booking, Claudia was very responsive and answered the many questions I had about the big day. She was extremely helpful and accomodating the day of and captured all of the pictures we wanted - we couldn't be happier with how they turned out. We h

Pros: Friendly, creative, unobtrusive, knowledgeable, hard working!
Cons: None!
We had the pleasure of Claudia capturing our wedding at Azul Fives in November 2013. From the very first interaction with her, she was friendly, supportive and always passed along tips. This was especially useful during the last couple of stress-filled weeks.
Claudia was prompt to reply to mails, in her friendly and effusive way, while still providing professional information. She even gave tips on hair styles and what to expect in Mexico, and at a very reasonable and competitive price.

Pros: Ontime, Friendly, knowledgable, Great Expierence
Cons: NONE- no complaints
I had my wedding at the Grand Palladium White Sands in November 2013. When planning a wedding, there's lots of advice what to choose, who to go with, what not to buy, alot is trusting a company to cater to your wedding ideas and needs. Planning a wedding outside of your home, you are really trusting that what you booked and agreed on is what you get when you arrive. I had alot of people recommend Claudia to me. When i looked at her webpage i knew she was going to be my photographer. From the mom

Cons: None! This was an amazing experience!
An amazing experience! Caludia and her team arrived on time ready to shoot. I am so thankful that she was able to document my destination wedding in Cancun August 3rd 2013! She was very encouraging when it started pouring down rain at our beach wedding! She made us feel comfortable and had lots of neat angles/shots! I am amazed at the photos that we received back! They are beautiful and everything I ever dreamed of! It's nerve racking to book a photographer you haven't met before, but I am so gl

Pros: Amazing pictures, dedicated photographer, wonderful person, creative approach
Cons: NONE
Claudia and her team recently documented my daughter's destination wedding at the Iberostar Grand Paraiso. After reviewing her photos online many months prior to the wedding, my daughter knew she had to have Claudia. We were so fortunate that Claudia was available and able to work the wedding. Claudia is an honest, sweet, energetic and extremely creative photographer. She answered all of our emails promptly, gave great advise when asked, and is a genuinely wonderful person. On the day of the wed

Pros: able to shoot under any circumstance, images are like straight out of a magazine, claudia is very friendly and very easy to work with
Cons: absolutely NONE!!!
Do not pass up this opportunity with Claudia. She is an amazing woman and so are all of her crew. she can adapt under any circumstances. we came back to my house for wedding photos with the family and bridal party. I was worried how the photos of the families would come out because the children were not cooperating/being cranky, as kids do, and running around. When I received my photos of the family shots, they were perfect. She has an eye that can capture the perfect moment during any circumsta

Your wedding day flies by in the blink of an eye. When it's all said and done all you have left are the pictures. Claudia and her team gave us images from our wedding day that we will cherish for a life time. In addition, her team was so professional and kind. They captured every moment without being in the way. Our pictures turned out beautifully and we could not be more grateful. I would absolutely recommend her services!

After deciding to have a wedding in Playa del Carmen at the Riu Palace Resort, Mexico we were faced with the decision of bringing a photographer from the states or trying to find someone local to the area. While we were at first apprehensive about not having someone we personally have seen do a wedding before, we were turned on to Claudia's gallery and really enjoyed her work. The colors and shots were gorgeous. After easy initial contact we established what we wanted in writing, and she even wa

Pros: Very calming, knowledge of venue, knowledge of lighting, and my own personality. She knew what angles, sides would look best for the overall look.
Cons: I only have one....that we don't have a picture of our dip during our first dance.. that's it!! Everything else was perfect!
I got married on February 23, 2013 in Fiesta Americana Grand Coral Beach in Cancun, Mexico. I was given Claudia's information from a friend who's co-worker was married in Playa Del Carmen. She sent me her friends website link with all the photos and I loved her style. Crisp and extremely clear. I know every bride is looking for a different look, I wanted EXACTLY what she offered. Elegance, Clear, Modern,
Natural looking, perfect photos!
We met with Claudia the day before to tell her the

Cons: Took a bit longer than expected to get link to photos
Claudia and her team photographed our wedding at the Barcelo Maya Palace on July 6, 2013 and I am SO happy we chose to go with her as our photographer. We compared several who work in the area and decided to go with Claudia for several reasons. She had been to and had photos of several weddings at our resort. This was so nice to see the places that we would most likely be getting pictures before the wedding day. Also, her prices were probably the best of all the companies we looked at, plus her

Pros: creative, talented, professional, and fun
Claudia Rodriguez and her team photographed my wedding at the Omni Cancun Hotel and Villas in April 2013. She was communicative through the entire process and I do not recall it ever taking her more than 48 hours to respond to any of my emails (even on weekends). We met with her prior to hiring her and were immediately impressed with her work and the passion she has for it. Our guests still talk about how incredible our photographers were and how well they blended into the scenery while still

We used Claudia for our July wedding at the Excellence Riveria Cancun and could not be happier. The staff was punctual, professional, took incredible pictures and video of our special day, and got the prints back to us exactly on time. All of our communication, transactions and encounters leading up to the wedding were seamless - we even got a Christmas card from her!

Pros: Easy to work with and very creative
Cons: nothing!
Claudia and her staff were a dream to work with for my January 2013 wedding in Riveria Maya. Despite having to pay a resort fee for them to shoot our wedding, we feel Claudia is worth every penny. She and her staff were welcoming from the first e-mail through the surprise slide show she presented at our reception. Claudia took the time to get to know us before the wedding and once we arrived in Riveria Maya. She even accomodated several families who wanted their own portraits prior to our ce

ASO happy that the stars aligned for us on our wedding day to book Claudia and Freddy. They were such a joy to work with and we are so happy with the photos. She is one of the quickest responders out of all the vendors I used for our Mexico wedding. Extremley proffessional and willing to do just about anything for a shot:) Pretty sure she had climbed on top of Freddy to get into a tree at one point to take a picture of us. They are so great and I would reccommend them to anyone having a destina

Claudia shot our destination wedding on April 12, 2013 at the private villa at Excellence Playa Mujeres, Mexico. She had assistance from Erik and Armando, who were all amazing. From the moment she arrived at the villa, Claudia fit right in and even tried to fix the air conditioning in the villa and gave us tips for properly tying my corset back. Claudia and her team were extremely professional and talented. Claudia took amazing candid and unique shots. We were so happy with the photos and g

Pros: AMAZING PICTURES
Cons: None
We got married at Dreams Riviera in 2011. I was nervous about finding a photographer but after looking at Claudia's pictures, I knew she was the photographer I had to have. Although we also had the photographer from the resort (which were ok), Claudia's pictures were phenomenal. She captured all of our special moments but you didn't even realize she was there. She is absolutely wonderful and great to work with. Truly professional and we got unbelievable pictures. She was definitely worth t

Pros: Professional photographer and really nice person!
Cons: None
I had Erick Rodriguez, from Claudia Photo Studio (Cancun) as my photographer. We hired him for our wedding and TTD.
Claudia was great in all senses answering me all the doubts as well as Erick while I was in Spain.
Being from Spain, we are used to other costs here for photographers (for example my elder sister payed 3 times less than me).
My husband and I thought a lot about this and decided to cut our budget in other things to have a good photographer. We are soooo happy, RE

Claudia shot our beach wedding and trash the dress at The Royal in Playa Del Carmen. I found Claudia's services on Best Destination Weddings and she was highly recommended. I started a dialogue for pricing, examples, etc and Claudia answered my emails herself very timely. She worked with me on the pricing and was flexible and patient which I appreciated. She kept in touch and made me feel comfortable up until the big day.
Upon arriving to take pictures Claudia took charge and she meant b

My husband and I were married 1/25/13 @ Azul Beach Resort, Mexico. I first noticed the pictures of Claudia's work from my wedding planner and as soon as I saw them I new that I needed to look no further for a photographer. All of her work is amazing and one of a kind. She really takes the time to listen to find out what type of pictures and work that you want. Claudia and her team showed up on my wedding day ready to work and they didn't stop until the night ended. Claudia and her team even got

Pros: Quick to respond, on time, respectful, creative, friendly, patient, true professionals
Cons: NONE! Besides that they live too far away for me to thank them in person for the amazing work they did.
You absolutely cannot go wrong by booking Claudia and her team. I knew that the quality of the work would be amazing because 6 years ago my sister was married in the Riviera Maya and Claudia was the photographer. We loved her work so much that as soon as my husband and I decided we were having a destination wedding at the Barceló Maya Palace we knew we would be hiring Claudia and her team as our photographers/videographers. My email to Claudia was the first email I sent related to planning my we
