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!!!

Not the case with Arturo, his session with us yielded the most beautiful photos that we all still treasure to this day.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Gareth was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. He was very quick to turn around our (many…read moremany) photos afterwards and the photos turned out amazingly. He was constantly professional and was very familiar with everything that needed to be done. He was available for questions before the wedding via email and video call, he visited the venue before the event to scout out ideal shooting locations.

I'd gladly recommend Gareth to anyone looking for a top notch photographer in the Riviera Maya (and that's not just because we have the same name!)
