Santiago Gabay Photography

I would like to start saying that Santi is the most amazing photographer!
My husband and I decided to get married in Mexico. Santi was recommended to me by my hotel venue , Dreams Playa Mujeres. I made the best decision by having him. From the minute I reached out to him, Santi was very professional and quickly responded to all my inquiries. I looked through his expensive photo albums and right away I knew that he is a gifted photographer with an eye for capturing all the feelings and emotions into a single moment. Santi kept in touch with me leading up to the event and event during the events. We had 3 days of events , and he was there all 3 days. When I first met Santi I felt so comfortable with him and knew that we would have a great time taking pictures. His presence put me in easy, it felt like he was a part of the family. He knew exactly the right poses for us to do, he was patient with us. We had 75 people and he was able to get all of us in a shot. Everyone felt so comfortable with him, he took the time with his pictures to make sure that he got the perfect shot. From day one without seeing his picture our guests were already starting to tell us how much they liked him. He also had another person with him Corona who was also great , he was helping me with my dress and making sure everything was flowing. When he received our sneak peak picture I was filled with joy . The pictures turned out to be absolutely incredible, I was speechless and was overwhelmed with joy. We have gotten so many compliments of our pictures , some people were saying that they belong in a magazine. Pictures is something that you will have for a lifetime. Santis work is very special. I can’t thank Santi enough for absolutely beautiful pictures that captured our special day. I can’t recommend Santi enough to all future Cancun brides out there!

Our experience with Santi and his team was great from the start! He provides clear packages (more affordable than those recommended by the venue), including partnerships with videographers to streamline the booking.

Our day-of experience was wonderful as well. We had photographers for both the bride and groom prep, throughout until the dancefloor. Other than knowing which family photos we wanted, we let Santi and team guide us through our first look, ceremony, and reception. They never interfered with the events, but still got great photos of all the action. Santi was not scared of putting himself in precarious situations to get the best shots!

The pictures are gorgeous, capturing the big and little moments throughout the day. And he was so speedy to turn them around for us! Highly recommend.

We had the most amazing experience. My Husband and I are not the most comfortable in front of the camera but Santi, Adrian and his team made us feel comfortable and captured the essence of US as a couple and as individuals. They Captured the emotions of our family and friends and helped truly tell our story! They were definitely worth every penny! I couldn't imagine not having them there, the moments they captured were truly amazing. They knew all the right angles and areas in the resort. They even had some "secret spots" lol . You will not be disappointed with Santiago Gabay!

Santiago was absolutely amazing! We had such an amazing experience with him! We got married at Sandos Caracol and Santiago knew the resort like the back of his hand. He knew all the best spots to take the most beautiful pictures. He was extremely professional, but so much fun! He interacted with our guests, even dancing with one :). He was able to direct the guests in order to get a great group photo.
He took the most beautiful pictures! He really knows how to manipulate the lighting and us as a couple. The best part- he was able to send a sneak peek two days after the wedding and then delivered the entire gallery two days after wedding as well! So amazing. We cannot recommend him enough! If we did it all over again, we would absolutely pick Santiago again!

Santiago was very detail oriented and produced stunning photos for us in a timely manner. He gave good instructions both through email in preparing for the day and at the event. I highly recommend!

My husband and I loved Santiago, his communication and professionalism was amazing and his presence just makes you so calm and comfortable in front of the camera. The pictures came out amazing. I would definitely recommend him to any brides looking in the Cancun area!

We used Santiago Gabay Photography for our wedding day and they were absolutely amazing. From start to finish Anel and Jacob were fabulous assisting us and our family/friends to get the best pictures. They felt like part of the family, Anel even took my underskirt off for me when I was far too hot🤭 they fit in perfectly! I’d 100% recommend this team over and over for all the effort they gave. Thank you all so much.

My relationship with Santi began before the pandemic hit. Unfortunately we were forced to reschedule our wedding twice. Santi was very accommodating and understanding. From the moment planning began, Santi made the process extremely easy for me. He stayed in contact with me all the way up until the moment he arrived at the hotel on our wedding day. The professionalism He and Carla displayed with both my husband and myself is beyond measure. The photos they captured truly showed every emotion and intimate moment on our wedding day. Not to mention our photos were ready when we returned back from Mexico. I will forever be grateful for the captured memories Santi and Carla gave to us.

We were so incredibly happy with the work of Santiago Gabay Photography. Santi and his team were amazing to work with. We were two brides, and our wedding parties got ready in two different rooms. Santi worked in one room, and his partner worked in the other. Both photographers were super easy and fun to have around. They kept to the schedule, and set up our first look perfectly. It was a magical moment, probably one of our favourite of the whole wedding, and it was captured beautifully by Santi and his team. During the cocktail hour, they were efficient in taking our photos on the beach so that we got time to enjoy with our family and friends. For the reception, they again captured the wedding vibes! They took photos of our entire group hitting the dance floor and enjoying the night. We had our reception delayed because of rain and Santi reassured us that he would stay the entire duration of the party, which we really appreciated.

We also were thrilled with how all the photos turned out. Firstly, Santi gave us a sneak peak pretty quickly, and then a few days later we were given the entire collection (and more). He worked very quickly and the photos were amazing.

We cannot recommend Santiago Gabay Photography enough! If you want amazing photos, and to work with great people on your special day, look no further!

I have used Santiago and his team for 3 different sessions. 2 family sessions and 1 wedding session. Each time I have absolutely loved our photos! He is always very responsive, professional and the photos turn out amazing! With him and his team you can expect to have all the details and costs up front so that you are never left hanging with questions or concerns. Because of this we continue and will continue to return to Santiago and his team for our photography needs.
