About this vendor

AveSol Photography has documented 1,000+ weddings across Puerto Vallarta and the Riviera Nayarit over more than 14 years, led by founder Eva Šica, a Latvian-trained photographer who arrived in Mexico in 2008 and built the studio from the ground up alongside her husband, editor Kristians Šics.
The team — Eva, Kristians, photographer Jessica Téllez, and videographer Raul — works fluently in English, and Spanish.
Every gallery goes through an in-house editing process built by Kristians: no generic filters, just the real color of the place. Couples get a sneak-peek gallery the night of the wedding, with full delivery in three weeks or less.

Eva and Jessica are AMAZING

We met Eva during our wedding visit in 2021 and knew it was an instant fit! Eva and Jessica made us feel so comfortable the entire day and all of the photos showed the day perfectly. They have both shot the W multiple time and we loved that they knew what angles to get. We have looked at our photos every month since the wedding and always love finding a new photo we may not have seen before. I highly recommend Eva and her team!

Artistic, Timeless, and Truly Exceptional

Ave Sol Photography exceeded every expectation we had for our wedding photos. The images are truly stunning—more beautiful than we could have ever imagined. Eva has an incredible eye for light, and it shows in every single photo. Each moment was captured so naturally and artistically, and we are in love with how everything turned out.

Eva and her assistant Jessica were an absolute dream to work with. They were professional, efficient, and had such a clear creative vision while still making us feel comfortable and relaxed throughout the day. They worked quickly without ever making us feel rushed, which made the entire experience so enjoyable.

We were also blown away by how quickly we received our photos—within just a week of our wedding. Being able to relive our day so soon after made it even more special.

We are beyond grateful for their talent and highly recommend Ave Sol Photography to anyone looking for breathtaking wedding photos and an amazing overall experience.

May 10th wedding at Hyatt Ziva Puerto Vallarta

Eva and her team were truly exceptional at capturing the essence of our wedding. The shots were incredible and seamless, and each one showed the powerful emotion and energy taking place. We are so grateful to Eva for guiding us through the entire process to make the day flow. Her knowledge about the venue, the communication she had with us throughout the planning and her timeliness was very valuable. She paid close attention to the style I had requested and the vision I had for the photos. I felt so secure knowing she was going to make sure that no special moment was missed. Thank you again Eva, we will cherish these photos forever!

Ave Sol Photography is Absolutely Amazing

We had the pleasure of working with Ava and Jessica from Ave Sol Photography for our destination wedding in Puerto Vallarta, and even though we’ve only received the sneak peek photos so far—we are already completely blown away.
They photographed both our rehearsal dinner and wedding day, capturing every emotion, detail, and moment with such warmth and artistry just as outlined in the Vision Board I created for them on Canva. From the second they arrived, Ava and Jessica brought calm, positive energy and made us feel completely at ease. They were professional, kind, and so intentional with every shot capturing the special moments, while keeping us on time. The way that Ava allows you to be yourself in front of the camera, while providing subtle tips and suggestions to improve the shot and capture what we were envisioning was incredibly helpful. We did not feel posed or overwhelmed with her guidance. The sneak peeks we’ve seen already look like they belong in a magazine and I cannot believe it is us in them. The lighting, framing, and emotion they captured in just a handful of images is breathtaking—and if this is just the preview, we cannot wait to see the full gallery.
We are beyond grateful for the way they documented our most important weekend, and we can already tell we’ll treasure these photos for the rest of our lives.
If you're lucky enough to work with Ava and Jessica, know that you’re in the hands of two incredibly talented artists who genuinely care about their couples and their special day.

Cannot recommend enough!

Jessica is amazing! Before the wedding Jessica was very easy to reach by email or WhatsApp. She was so kind and flexible when a few days before the wedding I asked if we could add extra time.

The day of the wedding she and her assistant Memo arrived early and took charge! Jessica found the perfect place for our first look and family photos. She and Memo staged the room where I was getting ready and Memo even took over steaming the train of my dress.

Jessica is a genius behind the camera. Our photos came out better than I ever could have hoped. We had sneak peek photos before the end of the night and the rest of them within 3 weeks! It's so hard for me to choose which pictures to post here as an example because I love them all. I could not be happier with the final result. If you are planning a wedding the in PVR area book Ave Sol as soon as you can!

We could not recommend AveSol enough! Eva and the team were absolutely amazing to work with. So kind, professional, and fun! We loved every single one of our wedding photos that we received. I would give them 100 stars if I could.

Dream come true

The photos were the quality of a magazine. It was perfect. A dream come true and I’m pretty hard to impress. I’m still in awe 6 months later. I wish I could book them for the rest of my life’s events. Everyone who sees my wedding photos are amazed!!! Book them!!!

This review is long overdue! I hired avesol before the pandemic then I had to reschedule & they were super accommodating! Loved working w/ Eva & her assistant Jessica for our wedding day & a post wedding shoot! I was not feeling well the day of the shoot and had lost my voice (we didn’t have time to reschedule) and they made me forget all about that and captures some of the best pictures. My husband and I aren’t the most photogenic but they made us look like we were haha ! Can’t wait to one day go back and do a family shoot with our little girl ! Would highly recommend!
