I used Gonzalo for my wedding photographer at the Now Jade in Riviera Maya; I picked him specifically because of all the good reviews I read on here, so I know how important it is to write an honest review for other brides to be.

Leading up to the wedding, I "friended" Gonzalo on Facebook & communicated to him through that, and email, a couple times.  Friending him made me feel more comfortable, and I think it also gave him a sense of what we were like as a couple. 

On the wedding day, we met with him and his assistant very briefly and then we got to work!  Since we only had a small wedding and Gonzalo would be with us for 10 hours, we used the first couple hours as an engagement photo session.  That was a lot of fun, and it also helped Brian and I get comfortable with posing-but-pretending-we're-not-posing.  :)  I highly recommend something similiar if you or your groom may be uncomfortable with getting your picture taken while pretending you aren't getting your picture taken!  At first it felt so weird, but with Gonzalo's patience and guidance it gets easier!

Gonzalo was fantastic with feedback.  He'd tell us to try something different and would listen to our comments.  It was really just a great experience! 

The pictures are fantastic.  He got shots where we immediatly say, "I remember that!" when we see them - they trigger a wonderful memory for us, which is exactly the point.  :D  He also got a lot of shots where we didn't realize we, or the person in the photo, were even getting our pictures taken, and they are truly amazing.  I love the genuine reactions, expressions, and smiles on everyone's faces in the photos he takes. 

If anyone wants to see our photos, feel free to look me up on Facebook, I am happy to share!  Anna Gentry Hopkins. 

We ended up getting almost 500 photos on a CD & a slideshow of photos, I expected to just receive a CD case but it is actually a lovely leather bound booklet with a photograph on the front and in the inside, along with the CD.  Great, classy touch!  Gonzalo also "teased" us during our 45-day wait for the CD by posting pictures on Facebook from time to time.  My birthday was about 10 days after the wedding and he was kind enough to post about a dozen un-edited photos on facebook for me.  Fantastic guy!
