We will start off by saying this review is just a snapshot of how incredible of a photographer Gonzalo.  To fully explain the positive impact Gonzalo had on our wedding and time in Mexico would take at least an 8 page essay, so we will try and keep it short.

After a long quest for a photographer (almost a year) with lots of hours of research, we finally stumbled upon Gonzalo's website.  After viewing the photos on his website, blog, Facebook, and reading reviews on this website, we decided to contact Gonzalo to photograph our wedding in March 2013.  We were VERY particular about what type of photos we wanted since we would be investing the most money in our photos.  From the first point of contact (email),  Gonzalo's positivity, professionalism, and demeanor were visible.  Any question we asked, he replied with a plethora of useful information.  We not only asked about his skills, but asked his advice on having a destination wedding in Playa del Carmen.  He was the best resource by far and is extremely knowledgeable.  From the beginning, he went above and beyond what we expected of him. 

When it was finally our wedding day and we met Gonzalo and his assistant, they were extremely sensitive to the stress associated with getting married.  We didn't really have a schedule as to how we would use their time, but Gonzalo was able to guide us through the entire day efficiently and effectively without any hiccups.  An amazing trait that Gonzalo has as a photographer is that he is very aware of how everyone in the bridal party is feeling.  When I was getting ready, I was stressing out that I only had 15 minutes to finish putting my makeup on and get into my dress.  While finishing getting ready, he managed to capture amazing photos.  He was incredibly non-invasive and I didn't even realize he managed to capture those shots.

I want to mention that my family is not the easiest to deal with and I was worried that they would stress Gonzalo out with requests and making sure that each shot was captured.  They most definitely asked Gonzalo a lot of questions and tried to direct him on how to do things, however he was cognizant of their requests and was able to please everyone who attended my wedding.  Not only did he make sure all of the photos they wanted were taken, but he was happy to make conversation with them and get to know them.  He easily could have taken photos and waited for the next important wedding event to occur.  Again, he exceeded our expectations by taking amazing photos and spending time with our families.  

The photographs came out wonderfully, and I'll certainly cherish them forever. Gonzalo was nice enough to take our silly requests and ideas for pictures and bring them to life with the pristine clarity of a professional photographer. Regardless of what your needs may be, Gonzalo will definitely serve you well, and I would recommend him to anyone seeking a skillful photographer.

My husband and I feel truly fortunate to have met Gonzalo.  He was an asset to our wedding and made a fantastic impression on us and our families.  He is overall an outstanding and inspirational person with a fantastic attitude towards life.  Gonzalo not only made our wedding forever memorable with his photography, but also with his charisma.  We hired Gonzalo with the original intent of having our memorable moments captured, however we ended up meeting an extraordinary person that we now call a friend :)
