I had hired Gonzalo for my son's first birthday shoot and he did an amazing job. It was last minute as the initial photographer I had booked had an issue and Gonzalo came through for us.

The photos were incredible and so was the service can't praise him enough for his incredible work.

Muchas Gracias Gonzallo and his wife-DanielView Photographer profile
Daniel is AWESOME! We had everything planned for him to come into the resort we were staying at, and had a whole plan set up for the proposal.

I talked to the resort weeks before and even the day before he showed up to make sure he would be allowed into the resort to take the pictures.

The day comes Daniel arrives and long behold the resort doesn’t want to let him in. This is 30 minutes before we planned to get the actual shot and get him in position and do this.

I was panicking at this point but I talked to Daniel and we decided a plan last minute. Daniel with his knowledge of the area drove us down to the beach where we pretended to just do a normal photo shoot. Then BAM I popped the question and he got the perfect picture. And of course a bunch of great photos afterwards!

Daniel went above and beyond and I’m s...-Warren & DeAnnView Photographer profile
Ches was the perfect person to capture our engagement in Isla Mujeres this past August. She was welcoming, warm, and kind. She guided us around the island to some of the most gorgeous sights we have ever seen. Ches made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. She captured these moments in the most beautiful ways that we will always cherish. These photos captured not just the engagement but an entire story from riding the ferry to exploring the streets by golf cart. We highly recommend Ches for all of your special moments in Cancun; she truly made this experience unforgettable.-CarsonView Photographer profile
