Gonzalo shot our wedding in Riviera Maya at the Aventura Spa Palace on June 4th, 2011. We ultimately choose him as our photographer based on the glowing reviews that we had read, his artistic style, attention to details, and how at ease he made us feel during the “consultation” process. We wanted to have a full day of shooting on our wedding and a TTD session and he was very accommodating in working within our budget constraints so that we could make both happen. He also assisted in finding the best TTD locations for us our Riviera Maya, which was a big help.

We elected to book him from 3pm until 10pm based on the wedding day, based on our budget. But with the size of the resort and wedding day scrambling around, we easily could have used him for 10 hrs the day of. He did arrive an hour early too so that he could scout the resort, which was very nice of him to do. He did such a great job of shooting all of the moments that were special to us and our 65 family/friends that attended. The laughs, cries, dancing, and memories were all captured and beautiful! He was great to work with on-site and was an extremely calming presence on a very wild and hectic day! Taking traditional, posed shots were a piece of cake for him, and you will not be disappointed. He had great ideas to make our traditional wedding party shots more fun, which we really ended up liking. We feel like he did an even better job with the non-traditional, artistic style photos. If he has ideas for your shoot that seem out of the box, then definitely take his lead! You will not be disappointed!!

We had originally set our TTD session for two days after the wedding, but experienced some really bad rainstorms the entire day. Gonzalo was ultra accommodating in getting us rebooked for the following day and picking us up at our new honeymoon hotel, El Dorado, and taking us to Puerto Aventuras for the day. We feel like he really excelled in these locations. He captured the beauty of the beach, water, nature, and rustic nature of the fishing village, they were truly beautiful. He even put his very expensive camera at risk in neck deep water to capture us leaping off of a dock. That’s dedication!

We received our photos in the mail approx 6 weeks after the wedding, which we were fine with because we understood that it was their busy season. Gonzalo did send us little teasers here and there to keep us excited, which was wonderful. The final album came in a beautiful leather booklet with two DVD’s (custom labeled with our pictures), and included over 500+ pics and a HD video using our first dance song.

5 Stars, 10/10, A++!
