I chose Bernardo Martinez as my wedding photographer. He was my top choice based on his aesthetic but his work ethic is unmatched, and attention to detail impressive - especially to the bride! I decided on his 6 hour photography package which included him + another photographer. Overall, the final photos received were absolutely amazing. He was able to capture intimate moments, candid shots, and beautiful details that really encapsulated the day.
Bernardo really went above any beyond for me. I was nervous as any bride would be planning their wedding from the states and not knowing the photographer ahead of time. I had my wedding at Pueblo Bonito Resort and he came to the resort a couple of days before to meet with me and my fiancé. This was really nice because we were able to meet before the wedding so he could understand my vibe/aesthetic, know important people and moments to capture. No one wants the cheesy posed wedding portraits and he was able to pose family and friends without feeling forced. To be honest, I didn't even notice him and his other photographer at the wedding but then when we got the photos back I was like wow, didn't know they were taking photos here! His lighting and cameras were great, every shot is crisp and he made me as the bride look great! I had printed inspiration photos and reviewed with him what I liked about them. He took notes and we talked about how we could achieve those shots. Very reassuring to a bride!
I also really enjoyed that in our meeting I had mentioned that I loved flowers, greenery, and archway backdrops. After our meeting he took time to scout out locations at the resort that had great lighting, fit what I was looking for, and featured a lot of flowers and lush backdrops! He was very organized and thoughtful in doing this for me and took photos that featured a lot of flowers/lush background. What I'm trying to say is Bernardo was very flexible and is willing to work with you on what you are looking for. It's hard planning a wedding abroad (US to Mexico) and Bernardo really made it easy for me. You can look at photographer's work but it's another thing to know that a photographer is willing to go the extra mile and include aesthetic shots that fit your vibe.
Bernardo even delivered around 10 highlight photos ~3 days after our wedding as a preview so I could post edited/professional shots right away! Then he had a quick turnaround for all the wedding photos too - took around 2 months after our wedding, which is quick compared to other friends that had to wait around a year for their wedding photos! He delivers the photos via a download link, and they're all organized.
My experience with Bernardo was extremely positive and definitely recommend to anyone, especially brides! He is super accommodating, professional, talented, and organized. If you are unsure of Cabo photographers for your event, go with the Bernardo - he's the best!!! read more
