    Excellent Service

    Jose and his wife were very friendly and easy to work with. They moved around the wedding and reception smoothly and got some great shots. Being from the island he was very knowledgable about timing and golden hour and the best spots to shoot at. From scheduling to getting the final gallery, everything was perfect. I highly recommend JLZ for anyone getting married in Belize!

    Phenomenal

    Jose was wonderful to work with. He was very responsive to all of my questions/requests/changes. We had rain the day of our wedding which required us to push the time back. He was very flexible and accommodating. Jose is kind and friendly, an absolute pleasure to work with. He asked several times if there were any more shots we wanted. I could not wait to see the photos. I asked for a sneak peek & he quickly edited a photo and sent it to me. Turn around time was quite reasonable. And the photos were OMGEEEE AMAZING! Jose Luis Zapata really takes pride in his art. I would highly recommend him to anyone who wants amazing photography that won’t break the bank. BOOK HIM NOW!

    Friendly, reliable, and picture perfect

    I absolutely love my engagement photos taken by Jose. We made a quick decision to get them done on our family vacation in Belize and 100% glad I did! He even included my family in a few. They’re great!
