Pros: very professional; wonderful candid style; friendly, fun & helpful
Cons: had to wait 6 weeks to see proofs of photos
We hired Claudia for our wedding at the Barcelo Maya Palace in May 2013. Photography was one of the most important parts of the wedding for me, so I spent a lot of time reviewing our options before deciding on Claudia. It was the right decision!
My main reason for choosing Claudia is that I love her candid style. She manages to capture so many intimate, special moments throughout the day that help to tell the complete story of your wedding. She offers several different packages so that y

Pros: Great to Work with, Beautiful photography
Cons: Absolutely Nothing
My husband and I were recently married at the NOW Jade Resort in Cancun, Mexico. We decided to opt out of the photographer provided in our wedding package and hire our own. Photography was a huge importance to us and we knew that we wanted someone who was artistic in their craft and could capture our day with beautiful photos. I came across Citlalli Rico Photography when doing my research on BDW and immediately knew that I wanted to use her for our wedding day. Planning a wedding from afar

Pros: wonderful to work with, listened to needs
Cons: nothing
Claudia was amazing. We got our pictures back recently and we are so happy with the quality and creativity. There was a venue photographer that we could have used but after comparing the quality we knew we had to go with Claudia's services. She reached out several times before to confirm what we wanted. She was awesome the day of. I didn't have to worry about anything. She is super professional and we have received numerous compliments. THANKS AGAIN.

Pros: Professional, high quality of work
Cons: None
My husband and I got married at the Azul Sensatori resort in December 2012. We were not sure where to start with the photography piece...I had looked online and found a few photographers but Claudia's portfolio caught my attention, mainly because of the mix of candid, artistic and natural essence that came through her pictures that I had seen online. My wedding planner also recommended her. We had to pay the outside vendor fee to have Claudia but I don't regret it at all, it was the best decisio

Pros: great personality, great photos and great professionalism
My husband and I got married in Cancun in January 2013. We met with Claudia once before the wedding, during a site planning trip and she was very prepared. She asked a lot of questions about the timeline of the event, that made us really start thinking about what we wanted. We also met with her before the actual wedding day and we were very impressed with her professionalism and confidence. She ended up taking photos of our indoor Catholic ceremony and also our outdoor beach ceremony. It ac

Pros: AMAZING photos, professional and friendly staff
Cons: We don't have a 'Claudia' where we live... :,(
My husband and I were married Dec 12/12 at the Grand Palladium Riviera. I had researched local photographers on-line from Canada a year ago and loved the photos on Claudia's website. Like no others, they made me smile and really get excited about having our wedding in such a beautiful location. We interviewed Claudia a year before the wedding when we were there for another trip and she brought her laptop with other recent photos from weddings. She was so personable, helpful and professional

For my husband and I , wedding photography was the most important thing on our list.

Pros: great pictures, great service, reliable, high degree of expertise
Cons: none
I chose Claudiaphoto because I wanted the photos of my wedding to be beautiful, unique and interesting. I went to the site and loved the pictures i saw right away. I noticed that many of them had an artistic quality that made them look like paintings/works of art, not just the standard wedding photo. I booked right away and was lucky enough to get Claudia herself with an assistant. We corresponded through email a bit and she responded right away and always answered my questions. I felt very

Pros: Great communication before trip, nice portfolio, competitive prices, lovely pictures
My husband and I got married on Nov 28th 2012 at the Azul Beach. Beautiful wedding photos were a priority for both of us. We looked at multiple photographers in the Mayan and after a very thorough review, we decided on Claudia based on her stunning portfolio and competitive prices, with no regrets at all.
I communicated with Claudia a number of times prior to our arrival in Mexico. She was always prompt in her responses. She helped us decide on the optimal wedding ceremony time to facili

Pros: Communication, payment, experience, and quality of work!
Cons: Absolutely nothing bad to say!
We selected Claudia almost 6 months in advanced before our Jan 2013 wedding date. We looked through multiple photographers, ultimately landed on Claudia even though she was a little more expensive than competitors. Overall, I would have paid more, Claudia blew us away!
Once we selected Claudia we put a down payment and pretty much went a solid 4 months before getting back in touch. A little more then a month before the wedding Claudia reached back out. All communication was via email until th

Pros: responsive, timely, creative, competitive pricing, beautiful work!
I decided to hire ClaudiaPhoto after doing a lot of research and receiving recommendations from other brides on DW. We are SO glad we did! Jeff and I got married on November 11, 2012 at The Royal PDC and from the time I hired Claudia, to the day of the wedding and afterwards, she was a pleasure to work with. She responded to my emails right away and delivered on her promise. Claudia and her team arrived early to get settled and began snapping pictures right away! She was super friendly, gen

Pros: Wonderful pictures, SO impressed and pleased with them all, great with all of my guests, SO friendly!!!
Cons: NO cons...everything was wonderful!!
Claudiaphoto was AMAZING. I was so impressed by all of her pictures, and most of all, her kindness. She was so great at putting me at ease. Because she went out of her way to do this, I felt so comfortable and the pictures show that! Everyone that sees my pictures are absolutely amazed and how beautiful they are. I would recommend Claudiaphoto 100% to anyone having a destination wedding, or any event. I cannot say enough about my gorgeous pictures and the wonderful photographer as a person

Pros: qualtiy work at a great price
I recently got married on Aug 25 at the JW Marriott and I can honestly say we picked a great photographer to capture every moment. We were looking for around for months before we discovered Claudia, and when I first saw her online blog I knew she had to be the one!! Not only is she the best the prices for the packages were a lot lower than others. We received quality work and a great price. During our wedding she was patient and kind and knew exactly when to capture every special moment. I defin

Pros: very professional
Claudia was amazing! our wedding photos turned out better than i could have ever imagined! We looked at resorts and packages and we decided to get married at a villa instead and it was beyond amazing. After looking at resort photos from weddings im so glad we chose a villa and that we found claudia. We look every day at our photos and it takes us right back to our wedding day! im so glad to have found her! I would recommend her to anyone looking to have amazing wedding photos at a very reasonabl

Pros: Professional, beautiful photos, warm, caring, worth every penny!
Cons: None
I have so many good things to say about Claudia and her team, I don't even know where to begin. My husband and I got married in May 2012 in the Riviera Maya and hired Claudia to spend the day and evening with us. She was on time, incredibly professional, and constantly working from the moment she arrived until she left eight hours later.
The photos have turned out beautifully. The way she captured the light was stunning and it's hard to believe some of the photos are even real. We a

Pros: They capture the emotions in a way you didnt think possible!
Cons: None
I hired Claudia Photo for my wedding on November 10th 2012. I hired 7 hours of video and photos. BEST INVESTMENT EVER!!! The team was very professional, they did not interrupt any moments to ask us to smile or pause for the cameras, they were everywhere, but so discreet, and the results, you WOULD NOT BELIEVE THE QUALITY! I recommend this company as the best in Cancun for your wedding pictures. ALSO, I did a boudoir with Claudia herself, as a pre-wedding gift for my husband and it was amazing!!!

Les photos sont non seulement fantastiques, mais elles témoignent réellement des émotions vécues à chaques moments. Nous sommes tellement satisfait, Claudia sait capter les moments, elle est si gentille aussi. Elle a respecté toutes nos demandes.

Pros: 1) Great communication 2) Easy to set up details even through email 3) Personable and hard working 4) Fun and energetic 5) BEAUTIFUL pictures
Cons: NONE!
When researching a photographer for my wedding at Puerto Morelos, Mexico, I was hesitant to use the vendors the resort offered as I was not happy with their wedding portfolios. I continued to research on my own for photographers in the area, and came across Claudiaphoto. I was taken back by the beauty of their wedding pictures and knew I would not be content unless I hired them for my own wedding. I contacted Claudia and received a response shortly after. Setting up arrangements was extremely ea

Pros: Easy to work with, creative, fun and made us smile, worth the money!, very talented, gorgeous photos,
Cons: None!
Claudia was top notch from the minute we contacted her via the Internet. She has an amazing eye for photography and we were blown away by how awesome our photos turned out. She captured candid moments but in a most professional way. We loved the poses and her use of the light was completely amazing. My now-husband's sister is a photographer and she is still in awe of Claudia's work. Our favorite was when our entire wedding party jumped on the beach. That photo is our favorite.

Pros: Incredibly professional on day-of, kept our wedding schedule on track, AMAZING photos, listened to our needs, easy payments
Cons: NONE
We were very impressed by the work of all the photographers associated with claudiaphoto and were lucky enough to schedule Claudia and her brother Armando. After seeing the results, we are confident that Claudia is the best wedding photographer in the Cancun/Mayan Riviera area. Her and Armando showed up ahead of schedule and stayed over an hour past their scheduled departure from the resort due to the inevitable delays that happen day-of. We did a sunset cruise and they were happy to come alo

Pros: Professional, creative, goes above and beyond.
All I have to say is the proof is in the pudding, they are really talented and you will not be disappointed if you go with them. Claudia and Freddy took what could have been a boring but pretty beach backdrop and made all the photography have an interesting and beautiful point of view! They managed to capture so many moments perfectly and artistically. If you have ever done photography, you know this is very hard to do. They went with the flow and took more photos of us alone then planned and I’

Pros: Best and hardest working photographer I ever met. Claudia will tell you how to pose, what to do and what not to do. Very creative and artistic photos.
When we met Claudia last year to decide whther or not we were using her as our photographer, we knew that she would be able to take photos of our special day without missing any details.
I had photoshoot sessions with different photographers in New York City prior to our wedding but no one worked harder or had more creative ideas than Claudia. She knew exactly which pictures to take, from which angle and was also able to use all the little detailed decorations that we had to the fullest.

Pros: Great communication, easy to work with, very creative, great editing, reliable, trustworthy, brilliant photography, on time, prepared,
Cons: Does not take credit cards, more expensive but well worth it
AI have been personally into photography for years and was looking for a creative, experienced photographer to capture the "story" of our wedding day, not traditional posed wedding photos. After a referral from my wedding coordinator and doing some research on bestdestinationwedding.com and other wedding websites I found Claudia Rodriguez. I looked at MANY photographers and Claudia's photography just stood out above all the others.
If you are looking for a reliable, trustworthy, creative, and w

Pros: very professional, open to suggestions to capture the perfect photos.
Cons: As so many photos are taken, some can be very similar.
Initially we were deciding against having a professional photgrapher for our Wedding at the Now Jade Mexico. Firstly because a photographer was included in our wedding package with the hotel, but mainly because we are a couple who don't really enjoy having photographs taken of us and wanted to spent the time with our family enjoying rather than posing for photos.
However I was persuaded by other brides that having a good photographer was worth it and I am so glad I found Claudia Rodrique
