I was in the process of waiting for more, but Jonhy followed up to make sure I did not have any questions. I really appreciated the proactiveness and also loved his pictures. We agreed to use him and my brother-in-law and fiance did too and decided to also use him for their engagement photos, since they were going to be in Cancun with us. Couple of days before, he followed-up with us via email and went over the schedule and where to meet. He was 15 minutes early and he even scheduled out 30 minutes prior, so he can scope out the resort for the best location for pictures. Again, proactive and professional! During pictures, not only did he make us feel comfortable, he made us laugh, including my 3 and 1 year old boys! He made sure our hair, hands, clothes, and smiles were all in position. I appreciated his attention to details. He was patient with us and guided us to make sure our photos did not come out awkward. He really took his time and make sure we got a variety of shots. He even went over the scheduled time we booked him for. He promised the photos a week after and he delivered promptly! And... WOW! My whole family was thrilled to see these pictures. We love so many of them. They are bright, colors are great, and we are all in position. I totally recommend Jonhy and hope to work with him in the future. Thank you Jonhy!!!

As a photographer myself from Texas, handing over my own wedding day to someone else was not easy…read more Within the first few minutes of watching Santiago work, though, I knew I had trusted the right person. He has a natural, calm way of posing people that never feels stiff or forced. He guided us with ease, and every direction had a purpose. What impressed me most as a fellow photographer was how he used the light. He read the Riviera Maya sun beautifully, finding the soft, golden moments and placing us exactly where they'd shine. Santiago captured everything from beginning to end: the quiet moments before the ceremony, the emotion of our vows, the laughter with our kids and friends, and the celebration that followed. He was everywhere he needed to be without ever being intrusive. If you're looking for a photographer who is skilled, intuitive, and truly cares about telling your story, book Santiago. We couldn't be happier, and we'll treasure these images forever.

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 absolutely love the feeling expressed in his photos. This is one of the many reasons why we would highly recommend Arturo.

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 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!

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.

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!
