Our family went on vacation to Cancun, it was the perfect place to take our family photos. Jesse was attentive and replied quickly to any questions that we had. He did a great job in arranging the photoshoot.-AngelaView Photographer profile
Gonzalo and his wife Gaby are absolutely AMAZING! I needed them last minute, and they went above and beyond to deliver an unforgettable proposal. Gonzalo's attention to detail, composition, and amazing ability to use lighting really show in his work, and our results turned out beautifully.

He and his wife are an excellent team and had amazing suggestions for poses. Extremely professional, with expert direction. Quick response times and very easy to work with. THANK YOU SO MUCH GONZALO & Gaby! We are forever grateful!-BrianView Photographer profile
I had planned for a surprise proposal photoshoot with Gonzalo. He was very supportive and guided me throughout the planning stage right from our outfits to how the entry should be. At the evening of proposal, Gaby helped us capture a perfect video of the moment and Gonzalo took really great shots of the proposal. Having done the photoshoot for the first time, we weren’t aware of any poses, Gonzalo and Gaby suggested so many unique poses and instead of it feeling like a forced pose we actually enjoyed taking pictures and had fun doing that. When we saw the final photos we were in awe of how perfect and beautiful the photos were. It was more than what we could have asked for and all the credit goes to Gonzalo and Gaby for making our day so special and making sure that everything was perfect along the way.-Akshay PakhleView Photographer profile
Gonzalo and his assistant Gabby are super professionals and they know what they are doing. They came at the location on time and they spent even more time with us that they supposed to. The pictures were great and we ordered all of them as we couldn’t choose which ones are the best. Highly recommend.-FarazView Photographer profile
I’m very grateful that we got the opportunity for Gonzalo to do our family photos at the beach in Cancun. He is a talented photographer with many years of experience. He also had multiple cameras to shoot with to get a variety of photos.

Also, he understands requests very easily and helps with posing if you need it. His experience, ease of communication, and patience (we had a huge family) are his best qualities. I would definitely choose him again for photos in Cancun.-BlessyView Photographer profile
AMAZING! Gonzalo and Gaby were nothing less than amazing!

I wanted to propose to Shay while on our trip and had tried contacting our resort with little luck, partly a language barrier and a cost prohibitive option. With less than a week before our trip to Mexico I did a Google search to find a photographer.

Enter Local Lens: the platform was easy to use and it was nice seeing the potential photographers available, their portfolios and prices upfront. Gonzalo was the first photographer to respond with available dates and times, I reviewed his profile and was happy with his previous work.

Originally we were going to have Gonzalo come to the resort, but once again, the resort wanted a massive amount of money to have an external photographer on site. At this point I was starting to stress out between the resort being uncooperative...-Chad and ShayView Photographer profile

Latest stories from around the world
The people have spoken, and the top spot to propose in Florence is 🥁🥁 Piazzale Michelangelo!⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Piazzale Michelangelo is located atop a hill overlooking the entire city. The Duomo, Palazzo della Signoria, and Ponte Vecchio are all clearly visible, making it one of the most romantic and beautiful places to bend the knee! 💍✨⁣
⁣
It is also a bit far from all the major tourist attractions, helping you avoid the touristy crowds, so the trek to the top of the hill is definitely worth it.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
And even if there’s a bit of a crowd, couples can always find a private corner for an intimate proposal. 👉 Nearby Piazzale Michelangelo,  there is a great spot near Basilica San Miniato al Monte with a staircase with a great view and far fewer people.⁣⁣
