Gonzalo is a true professional, and I highly recommend him for any occasion. My wife and I booked a photoshoot to celebrate our babymoon in Mexico, and Gonzalo captured our vision perfectly! Not only is he personable, but he's also very talented at his craft, as he coordinated our poses and suggested what areas would capture the best lighting for great-quality photos. He made sure we were comfortable and enjoying the experience the entire time.-DenzalView Photographer profile

We love travelling and this is the first time we did a vacation pictorial. I was so glad that we did, it made our vacation more memorable.

Gonzalo and Gaby were so nice and good at communicating with me and gave lots of suggestions and information for the shoot.

We are not good in poses but Gonzalo was so great and patient in guiding us through it. He is professional and has a lot of great ideas on what and where to shoot within our hotel.

The photos came out amazing and beautiful than I could have ever imagined and I am so delighted that we have these memories captured.

If you are looking for a photographer who is passionate, and professional with amazing talent, I would highly recommend Gonzalo.

Thank you again, Gonzalo and Gaby!-Victor & JessaView Photographer profile

Our photo shoot was very fun and the photos came out great. Gonzalo was punctual and a great communicator, we are very happy with how the shoot turned out.

Thanks so much Gonzalo!-StacyView Photographer profile
As part of our Tulum vacation, my boyfriend set up a beach photoshoot “just because”. Little did I know, this was going to be the best surprise of my life as the photoshoot was to capture his proposal.

Gonzalo & his wife Gaby picked us up from our hotel. He was very careful in asking me any introductory questions since he was in on the surprise and didn’t want to ruin it. They were so sweet and told us a little about themselves too!

As we got to the beach, Gonzalo began with some initial photos of us & the scenery to start and then separated me and Steven to get an idea of where Steven envisioned the shoot to take place. (Still had no idea at this point!)

Gonzalo’s guidance on the poses & and his professional opinions when it came to the lighting/ positions were so helpful in capturing the special moment. We felt so at ease th...-StevenView Photographer profile
