I found Quetzal on Instagram, then read their reviews here on WeddingWire and scoured through the photos on their website before finally meeting with them. I was instantly comfortable with Heather and was confident they would provide the best experience so I hired them for the full day, like 10 hours, on our wedding day and a few hours for a pool party the day after our wedding, and they absolutely delivered both days!

They were the highlight of our destination wedding weekend that was plagued with misadventures (because of the resort staff and other vendors) and they didn't let those other people ruin my excitement! They actually helped to keep my disastrous coordinator and other vendors in line too which was super helpful. For instance, several of my guests weren't served dinner at our reception and sadly they were part of that group, but the quetzal team suffered through with smiles on their faces reminding me "not to worry" and "to enjoy my big day". Also, I hired a separate videographer and they made every effort to coordinate with them in advance and follow up with them too, ensuring that they delivered for me too–I'm sure the videographers learned a lot from Quetzal too. They didn't just deliver wonderful photos, they delivered spectacular customer service. They helped keep us on schedule and reminded me of photos/poses that I would have forgotten about. They helped art direct us so we looked beautiful not strategically posed even though we were. They were friendly and kind and captured tons of incredible moments. At one point, they were even laying on the dance floor to photograph us taking shots HAHA! They didn't let any burden or blocker prevent them from memorializing our love, our friendships, and our fun.

In addition, they turned around the album so quickly! They even asked to share sneak peak pics on social media the day after the wedding and again the day after our pool party, and then gave us our entire album weeks before the contract date. I also love that the album allows me to see all of the photos, but I can limit the photos seen by guests of the album which is awesome and so easy to access and share. Ahead of our big weekend, I loved that they sent us a survey asking about us as individuals, us as a couple, and our expectations for them – the brief task actually helped me write my vows and my husband and I enjoyed responding to it because it got us excited to talk about our love, our journey, and our optimism for our future together. They care about the holistic experience, not just the day of details.

All in all, Quetzal will bring personality and professionalism to your big day. They are like photo-octopi; using 2 arms to do the work of 8 and fitting in anywhere. They will stop at nothing to deliver incredible service and you'll want to be their friend for life! Seriously, my husband and I, along with all of our guests LOVED them!

Everyone commented on how amazing the photos were! Our friend who is a professional photographer said it was some of the best photos he'd ever seen. Ches and Florencia were so easy to work with and in tune with what we were looking for. They gave us direction and guidance that didn't make us feel weird or forced- it just felt right :) They worked very well with our wedding coordinator and everything flowed absolutely perfectly. We were late to our reception so we asked to extend by an hour and it was almost like a no-brainer for them and said YES immediately!! Again, so in tune and flexible. They go above and beyond to get you your dream photos!! Anyone having their wedding down south should 100% go with them! LOVED LOVED LOVED them!!

Heather was great! From day one. I loved everything about our collaboration. She was available. Help me with a lot of recommendations or advices. And above everything, our photos were gorgeous 😍😍😍. I'm in love. I recommend 100%.
