Dream art photography…read more My wife and I did a private photoshoot with Fernando Galvez through dreamart photography at moon palace. He was very attentive to us during the shoot and had a lot of ideas for different shots. He took his time getting the shots and was professional and courteous throughout the experience. He was friendly and helped us feel comfortable during the shoot. The photos were both posed and candid. The photos were ready for review a few hours after the shoot. Fernando was upfront about the prices, the options, and the process which I appreciate. We also had help from the two other ladies working at dreamart when we were narrowing down our favorite photos. They were also friendly. We are happy with the photos and the experience.

A photo session with DreamArt is exactly what you wished you did on your vacation but didn't think…read moreit was worth the time.  Spend an hour or two and with their AMAZING staff and capture the moments you will be able to see for the rest of your life.  Having been a novice photographer for the last 20 years I can honestly say that your dealing with professionals who will capture that moment and immortalize it with amazing digital prints that you can go back home and print. Their photography skills and post production processing is perfect. This is my second photo shoot with my family using DreamArt.  I made my reservation with Melissa prior to my arrival so that I could get the best time slot. The last was in Nuevo Vallarta and Playa's team stepped it their game even more.   We have a giant canvas print in our living room and we're anxious about next trip to when we'd do another photo shoot with DreamArt. In the States you would easily pay thousands more for the shoot and then for the prints. Not the case here.... We sat down and chose the digital prints we wanted and I ordered prints through Costco online back in my room ready for pick-up when I got back home. Farid, our photographer, was phenomenal and took very good care of our needs. My oldest son is disabled and therefore doesn't sit or stand. Positioning him to make the pictures as natural as possible was no simple feat. We canptured over 100 pictures that we had an issue of choosing from. If your still reading this and questioning if you should do this or not take a look at their collection or stop by their kiosk next to the pool and ask to see some pictures.

I live in the US and it was a little nerve wrecking to go through with this plan across the sea, but it was absolutely worth it. You get so much out of the photography session, and Agustin captures every precious moment. I really really suggest them for a proposal. Nicest people, and very patient even when the weather was "supposedly raining".

We had to reschedule our shoot due to unforseen circumstances but Claudia was so accomidating and flexible. She even recommended an amazing and sweet driver for us to take us to the photoshoot location in Cancun. Claudia is AMAZING with kiddos. Our toddler wasn't having the best day so we were worried the photos wouldn't turn out so good however Claudia was so amazing with him and every single photo turned out perfect! He is smiling in all of them! Claudia made the photoshoot so much fun and she has the sweetest personality. We will definitely reach out again when we are back in Mexico. I couldn't believe when we recieved the final gallery (with a TAT of only a few days!! WOW!) We were stunned! Every single photo was beautiful! I am in the process of printing quite a few and hanging in our home. I cannot recommend Claudia enough!

I HIGHLY recommend Eduardo and the entire Black Hat Studio team if you are looking for a wedding…read morephotographer that will truly make your wedding photos pop! Especially if you were to compare their unique style and ability to capture truly candid moments to your more traditional style photographers. See it for yourselves on their website. My wife and I got married at an all inclusive resort in Cancun that "provide a photographer" for wedding photos to guests getting married on site. Trust me, these people are amateurs - I would compare it to working with someone who has little training on a job versus someone who has been doing this for their career. It's well worth the resort fee to get Eduardo and team to capture these moments that will last a life time. Like anything else, you get what you pay for, and I know you are probably saving a ton by having a destination wedding in the first place. Use that extra cash on a vendor you can trust to provide you with the ultimate package that includes videography! I talk to so many people who see our highlight video and the one wish they had is that they spent the extra money on when looking back at their wedding experience.

My husband and I had the best experience with BlackHat Studios! We never got engagement photos…read moretaken before our wedding, so we decided to do an "engagement" photo shoot while we were celebrating our six-year anniversary on Isla Holbox, Mexico. I found BlackHat on Yelp; Eduardo responded quickly and clearly laid out the pricing and what we should expect. Eduardo and our photographer were both very professional and easy to communicate with via email and Whatsapp. Our photographer was Roy, who was fantastic. Not only did the pictures turn out beautifully, but we had so much fun during our session! I honestly was not looking forward to actually taking the photos, but it ended up being one of the highlights of our trip. Roy made sure we were having a great time throughout the entire session, and even put up with a rainstorm that happened right in the middle of the shoot! We were able to view and download the photos less than two weeks later - I was very impressed with the quick turnaround. I would not recommend Roy, Eduardo and BlackHat studios more!

We found Daniel through Yelp; he was the first person to give us enough confidence to book. After messaging various vendors, we decided to go with him because he was prompt with responses and professional and had sent us more samples of his work. Thank goodness we went with him!! In the weeks leading up to our wedding, Daniel was attentive and reassuring. He showed up earlier than his scheduled time, allowing him to begin promptly at start time, which I greatly appreciated. He demonstrated constant professionalism throughout our wedding day - from dealing with our messy "getting ready" rooms for photos to me not having it with the heat, and all of our chatty guests. He somehow, in the midst of all the commotion that day, got BEAUTIFUL shots!! His videographer also provided us with two wonderful videos - full-length & highlight videos. My husband and I couldn't be happier that we chose Daniel Olmedo as our wedding photographer. We've even talked about doing our future pregnancy shoot in Cancun solely for the opportunity to work with him again! Daniel & Team: THANK YOU for capturing such an important day for us and creating beautiful memories.

Five stars! Muchas Gracias Daniel

He has a very detailed eye and pays close attention to everything from angles, lighting to fixing a girls hair! He went way above and beyond for our pictures and we are beyond grateful. He has a great grasp of the English language and fluent in Spanish. Our resort was a bit difficult in letting him in and had to wait outside for us about 15-20, and never lost his cool. He was super patient with the whole situation, even after driving about an 1 and a half to meet us. Pictures were edited and given to us in the promised time frame. He had so many great shots, I'm having a hard time picking a favorite to frame for our home. Thank you Misael!

We met Arturo…read morefor a photo shoot of our family in Playa del Carmen and the one thing I always worry about is a cliche or posed photo session. Not the case with Arturo, his session with us yielded the most beautiful photos that we all still treasure to this day. Arturo quickly picked up on the vibe and energy of our family and allowed up to take the lead as he captured so many magical moments. We spent over an hour with Arturo and what amazed me is when reviewing the final proofs, there was not a single bad shot! Each was breathtaking, natural, comfortable and captured the joy of our family event. We return to Playa again in May and already have a session lined up with Arturo.

He not only captured our "moments" perfectly, but he also displayed genuine professionalism. Arturo made us feel comfortable, which was no small task, as both my fiancé and I are fairly shy, especially in front of a camera. We cannot thank Arturo enough for guiding us through our photoshoots and bearing with us so patiently. The end results clearly show just how much we enjoyed the process! We absolutely love the feeling expressed in his photos. This is one of the many reasons why we would highly recommend Arturo.
