Best Wedding Photographer in Belize!

Our wedding was originally scheduled in April 2020. After an exhaustive search for the best photographer in Ambergris Caye, I chose Jose Luis Zapata, only to learn he was already booked! Covid happened and our wedding was postponed. 4 years later, it felt like it had been fate when I was able to book with Jose for our wedding at Victoria House.

I am not a picture taker. In fact, I hate taking pictures, so I was very nervous about wedding photos. I really only had one request; sunset shots! We planned the wedding around those. Jose took care of everything. He has such a creative eye and knew exactly what to take pictures of. He captured all of the important moments throughout the day and created several different sunset shots with a variety of different lighting. Just gorgeous!

Jose is very friendly and easygoing. He made us feel comfortable and at ease. Jose was extremely responsive via email, easy to talk with in person, and very accommodating. We received our photos within the time promised and were thrilled with the end product. I highly recommend Jose Luis Zapata Photography. You will not be disappointed!
