My Top 10 recommended wedding photographers in the Riviera Maya (and Why)

After years of filming weddings in the Riviera Maya, I’ve had the chance to work alongside many talented photographers. But there’s a special group of professionals I’m always happy to see at a wedding — not only because of the quality of their work, but because of their energy, attitude, and the way they treat couples. Here are my top 10 most recommended photographers in the area — people I trust completely, and who will make your wedding experience even better.

1. Niccolo Sgorbini: https://www.instagram.com/niccolosgorbiniph/

I’ve worked with Niccolo for years and it’s always a pleasure. He brings contagious energy, treats clients with genuine warmth, and delivers images full of soul and beauty.

Caro has a strong and confident photographic voice. Her work strikes a beautiful balance between editorial and candid — elegant but honest. She’s also very easy to work with, which makes everything flow naturally on the wedding day.

4. Rwanda Estudio (Jose): https://www.instagram.com/rwandastudio/

Jose brings a very personal, artistic vision to his work. His photos have a unique atmosphere, there’s something about his imagery that carries a distinctly feminine sensitivity — subtle, intimate, and deeply expressive.

Connie is a well-known name in the Tulum wedding scene, and in my opinion, one of the top photographers in all of Mexico. She has an amazing eye for capturing beauty in natural, effortless ways.
