I was recommended by a friend to use Gonzalo as our wedding photographer.  I can honestly say that using Gonzalo was one of the best decisions my husband and I made for our wedding! As a bride it is so difficult planning a destination wedding because you don't know who to trust and also if the vendors you are using are reliable. The moment we booked Gonzalo you could tell he not only was a true professional but a genuine and sweet man.  His excitement and positive energy just made my husband and I even more eager for our wedding day! Even when going over pricing options he tries to adjust prices based on the couples needs.  Gonzalo's work is without a doubt worth more than he charges and is easily affordable for destination brides!

On the day of our wedding Gonzalo arrived exactly on time and with a smile! As a nervous bride this immediately put me at ease! He is very specific about going over the wedding day details and time line because he wants to make sure he captures all the special moments that a bride and groom share.  He dives right into his work as soon as he arrives.  The day my husband and I got married was extremely hot and Gonzalo never once complained and kept a smile on his face the whole time.  During the "getting ready" photos Gonzalo not only manages to capture the simplest detail but he also takes time to talk to the bride and find out who the families of the bride and groom are, and what pictures are most important to photograph.  My whole family loved him and knew instantly that he was going to do such an amazing job!

My husband and I had about 40 guests attend our wedding. Trying to get 40 people to sit still and cooperate for photographs is extremely difficult but not for Gonzalo! He gets the crowd excited and manages to take such memorable special pictures of all your guests.  When photographing just my husband and I we both were worried because we are not used to taking photos. Gonzalo makes it seem effortless.  He encourages you to act like yourselves and to take in the moment.  My husband and I had such a blast taking the photos with Gonzalo because he makes it a fun experience and you can tell that he works really hard to get the perfect shot!

Gonzalo blended in perfectly  with our friends and family as well.  During our reception our friends and family loved getting to know him! He had fun with our guests while at the same time remaining a true professional! Our reception time line ran later than my husband I had anticipated.  Even though we had only paid Gonzalo for a specific time he stayed and captured all the special moments, dances and cake cutting that we had previously discussed.  Most photographers would not have done that and it shows just how special Gonzalo is as a person and professional. 

When my husband and I received our photographs in the mail we were both brought to tears. We knew the pictures were going to come out amazing but they far exceeded our expectations.  Gonzalo captured every special moment. My husband and I felt like we were reliving the day over again.  His pictures are beyond beautiful they are just perfect.  For any bride that is looking for a photographer choose Gonzalo! My husband and I can not thank him enough.  Because of Gonzalo we have the most perfect photos that for a lifetime will remind us of the best day of our lives and we are forever grateful!
