Photodreams Mexico

Rating: 5 out of 5 from 455 reviews, based in Tulum.

Photodreams Mexico works with a team of photographers, and couples describe nearly all of them the same way: professional, friendly, and quick to put guests at ease in front of the camera. Several reviewers mention being photographed during a resort stay and later deciding to book a formal session once they saw the first images. Others specifically call out help with posing and direction, and more than one review mentions capturing a wedding day along with the surrounding scenery. As one couple put it on Google, “They exceeded all my expectations.”

Tulum Photography

Rating: 5 out of 5 from 157 reviews, based in Tulum.

Most reviews for Tulum Photography name Gavin directly, and they describe someone who responds fast, keeps his pricing and packages clear, and stays calm when travel plans do not cooperate. Couples mention he suggested the locations himself, including a cenote for a themed shoot, and that he handled a last-minute proposal request with only a few days’ notice. Several also say he shared final edits generously and was easy to reach by email throughout the process. A bride wrote on Google, “Gavin made us feel completely at ease.”

Santiago Baravalle Photography

Rating: 5 out of 5 from 120 reviews.

Reviewers describe Santiago as calm and easy to trust in front of the camera, which several say made a real difference during their shoot. More than one review mentions his attention to light, color, and composition, and a couple who did a maternity shoot in Tulum said he was especially good at direction and bringing their vision to life. One reviewer summed it up simply: “Gentle soul, beautiful work.”

Tulum photographer Gaston Bailo

Rating: 5 out of 5 from 123 reviews, based in Tulum.

Couples describe Gaston as flexible under pressure, from helping a wedding stay on schedule to accepting a same-day booking for an elopement. Several reviews mention that he suggested the photo locations himself, including cenotes and sunrise spots, and that he also connected one couple with someone to perform their ceremony. More than one reviewer says his energy made the shoot feel like time with a friend rather than a formal session. A couple said on Google, “His warm personality put everyone at ease.”

Alejandro Severini Photography

Rating: 5 out of 5 from 96 reviews, based in Tulum.

Couples mention how quickly Alejandro responds to inquiries, sometimes within minutes, even for last-minute bookings. Several reviews describe him and his associates taking care of small details during a shoot, from holding shoes to fetching water, and helping guests who do not usually enjoy being photographed feel at ease. Reviewers also mention he helped coordinate parts of a proposal beyond photography, including venue and transportation details. As a reviewer put it, “He made us feel super comfortable.”

Violeta Bron

Rating: 5 out of 5 from 43 reviews, based in Tulum.

Reviewers describe Violeta as attentive from the very first message, helping with planning details beyond the photos themselves. Several couples say she captured meaningful moments with little direction needed, and more than one mentions that the editing process afterward was smooth and easy to follow. A bride shared on Google, “She captured our day so beautifully and authentically.”

How to compare these photographers

All six photographers above currently hold a 5 out of 5 rating on Google, so the differences between them show up more in review volume and the kind of work their clients describe than in the rating itself. Photodreams Mexico and Tulum Photography have the largest review counts in this list, 455 and 157, while Santiago Baravalle Photography, Gaston Bailo, Alejandro Severini Photography, and Violeta Bron sit between 120 and 43 reviews.

Before you book, ask each photographer directly what their quote includes, how many hours and locations are covered, how many edited images you will receive, and how long delivery typically takes. If your ceremony is happening at a resort or private venue, ask that venue in writing whether it charges an outside-vendor fee for bringing in your own photographer, since that can change your total cost no matter who you hire.

It is also worth asking who will actually be on site the day of your wedding. Several of the photographers above work with assistants or a small team, and reviews mention more than one person handling a single session, so confirming exactly who shows up, and whether that matches who you spoke with during booking, can save confusion later.
