    Wedding photos

    Jose and his wife were amazing to work with. Very accommodating and flexible with my budget and the schedule of the wedding. My photos came out beautiful before the editing and after, they are breathtaking. Such a wonderful way to preserve the memory. Highly recommend Jose to capture the best moments at your event.

    Wedding pictures in Belize

    Jose is amazing! Totally recommend. My husband and I never take a good picture simultaneously and Jose got so many good ones. We cannot recommend him enough if you are getting married in Belize.

    Married to my best friend!

    We truly cannot say enough amazing things about our photographer Jose. From start to finish, they went above and beyond our expectations in every possible way. Not only did they capture every special moment of our wedding day beautifully, but they did so with such professionalism, creativity, and genuine care. They made us feel comfortable, calm, and confident throughout the entire day, which shows in every photo. The attention to detail, the ability to capture real emotion, and the passion they brought to their work were unmatched. We are beyond grateful for the memories they preserved for us and would recommend them without hesitation to anyone looking for someone who truly cares about their craft and their clients.

    30th Wedding Anniversary Vow Renewal

    We hired Jose to shoot our 30th wedding anniversary vow renewal. This was our first professional photo shoot ever and we were thrilled with the outcome! We highly recommend him for his timeliness, his friendliness, and his familiarity with the resort where we were staying. It was easy for him to recommend different locales around the property where the backdrop was beautiful!

    Jose is the best in Belize!

    We had a wonderful experience with Jose and his team. He was able to capture incredible photos of our special day. He came prepared with locations scouted out, timed the sunset, and even made sure to have backup hairspray in his bag. We would recommend him to anyone looking for a great experience for their wedding!

    Rain or Shine, the Perfect Photographer!

    We had the absolute pleasure of working with Jose for our wedding at Coco Beach Resort on Ambergris Caye, Belize in November 2023. From the beginning, he was professional, responsive, and easy to communicate with - even from afar.

    Our wedding day turned out to be unexpectedly rainy, which delayed his arrival and required last-minute changes to our ceremony and reception. Despite the weather challenges, he and his wife Perle went above and beyond to capture the spirit and emotion of the day. They were calm, kind, and adaptable, which helped us stay relaxed and focused on what mattered most.

    The photos are stunning - we couldn’t be happier with the way he documented both the big moments and the small, candid details. He truly has an eye for storytelling, and we’re so grateful to have these memories preserved so beautifully.

    If you’re considering a destination wedding in Belize, we can’t recommend Jose Luis Zapata Photography enough. He exceeded every expectation!

    Jose was the best I’ve always been told the most important part of a wedding is the photographer Becuase that’s what captures the once in a lifetime moments and we couldn’t ask for a better photographer to capture our day

    Absolutely Outstanding Wedding Photography Experience!

    We cannot say enough wonderful things about Jose and his incredible work at our wedding at Ramon Village Resort. From our very first consultation, Jose took the time to truly understand our vision, ideas, and the mood we wanted to capture. He listened carefully to what was important to us and made us feel completely comfortable with his warm, professional approach.
    What impressed us most was Jose's patience and dedication throughout the entire day. He spent generous amounts of time with us, never rushing any shots, and was incredibly understanding of our needs as a couple. His calm, positive energy helped keep us relaxed and natural in front of the camera, which really shows in our beautiful photos.
    Jose's expertise with Ramon Village Resort was invaluable - he knew all the most stunning photo spots on the property and guided us to locations we never would have discovered on our own. His knowledge of the venue, combined with his artistic eye, resulted in breathtaking photos that perfectly capture both the beauty of the location and the joy of our special day.
    The final photos exceeded all our expectations. Jose created something truly magical that we'll treasure forever. His professionalism, creativity, and genuine care for his couples really sets him apart.
    If you're looking for a wedding photographer who will understand your vision, be patient with your needs, and create stunning memories that last a lifetime, we wholeheartedly recommend Jose. He made our wedding photography experience absolutely perfect!

    Could Not Be Better!!!

    Jose was a delight to work with. He had great ideas for backdrop, poses, etc. (that we probably wouldn't have thought of) and lead to results we are just thrilled with. He gave us all the time we needed and then some. He was no doubt the right choice to capture these moments for us on our special day. I am confident he will be the right choice for yours as well.

    Beautiful wedding photos

    Until our wedding, I had never worked with a photographer before besides school photos and Jose made us feel very comfortable. He did a great job suggesting and directing us in poses. He also did a wonderful job editing, and the end results truly look like a fairytale. I couldn’t have asked for better wedding pictures and I’m so grateful that Jose was available to make it happen!!

    Surpassed Our Expectations

    On our wedding day, JoseLuis and his team were not only professional but also made us feel so comfortable, almost like having an old friend capturing our most special moments. The way they interacted with us and our guests was seamless, and they knew exactly how to blend in while still capturing the most intimate and candid moments.
    The photos are beyond stunning each one tells a story and transports us right back to the emotions we felt on that day. Every single shot is beautiful, and the attention to detail is incredible, our family and friends were equally impressed.

    Incredible photographer and amazing to work with!

    We decided to elope a month before we got to Belize, so our planning process was really short. Jose was added to our elopement package and I could not have picked a better photographer. He is extremely friendly and professional and made the day really great. Jose also had a really fast turnaround time with the photos and great communication throughout the entire process. Thank you Jose!

    Jose is Amazing

    We hired Jose for two events in August of 2024 in San Pedro. Jose was reliable. He stayed in communication and arrived as scheduled. He was professional when on site. Selecting from his proofs was an easy process. The final photographs are exceptional and I could not be more pleased. I would use Jose again and would recommend him to anyone needing pictures in San Pedro!

    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!

    Jose was amazing! Not only is he a fantastic photographer, but he is extremely kind, helpful, and accommodating. He made sure we got the best photos possible and worked hard to get them to us quicker than usual, which was greatly appreciated. His photography and editing style are both amazing and the photos turned out beyond beautiful. We are so so happy and will definitely connect with Jose when we are in Belize again. 10/10, would highly recommend!!!

Jose was able to get back to me in a timely manner and resent all of my photos from 3 years ago. Thank you so much!!!

    10/10 amazing experience with Jose for our Belize wedding!

    Once we decided to get married in Belize, I knew we had to have Jose as our photographer and he and his wife did an AMAZING job! They were responsive, and captured our small wedding so beautifully, going above and beyond by creating a highlight video for us and making sure to get all the shots I had wanted. It did take awhile to get our photos back, but they were so worth the wait! We had so many amazing shots to choose from -- my favorite were actually the candids -- captured the vibe of the day so well. Forever thankful that we have these memories!

    The best memories to celebrate our 20th anniversary

    I found Jose’s profile on Facebook and instantly fell in love with his vision, art and attention to capture the most beautiful images. I knew I wanted him to capture my husband and I’s 20th wedding anniversary with our kids on the beautiful island of San Pedro, Belize. He was so helpful to help me navigate this day from the US in every way, such as transportation to the ‘sandbar’ and timing out photos perfectly with weather and sunset. Jose was always attentive to my messages and questions. He was excited to try new things also, which we are so grateful for. We 100% recommend Jose and thank him so much for making this milestone perfect!

    Jose Luis Zapata Photography is Absolutely Unbelieveable!

    Jose Luis was simply amazing! My husband and I eloped to Belize from Massachusetts in April, and I am just beyond impressed by how incredible Jose Luis was in every way. First, he is incredibly kind and professional and his positive attitude added so much to our special day. Second, Jose Luis is an excellent communicator - he replied to every email very promptly and answered any and all questions that we had. Lastly (and most important of all), our pictures are also absolutely stunning! My husband and I could not be more pleased with how they turned out - they exceeded all of our expectations. Jose Luis was able to not only capture the visually stunning scenery, lighting, etc., but also our unadulterated joy in every photo. I cannot recommend Jose Luis enough - he is incredible!

    He did a wonderful job and we were very pleased with his work.

    Jose Zapata was very respectful and attentive. He gave us many recommendations to different types of photos when we didn’t much on what to do.

    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!

    Top notch professionalism, insanely nice, and incredibly flexible

    Jose and his wife Perlita are a perfect package. So easy going, sweet, and you can tell they really love what they do. He also was amazing working with us and the Covid situation. We’ve done 2 shoots with Jose (Luis) and his photos cover my house. I only wish I was local so he could do all our family photos! We’ll have to settle for vacation shoots :)

    Awesome, professional and very easy to work with

    Jose Luis Zapata really did a awesome job, he went out of his way and spent most of the day getting every shot we wanted. He also came to our Wedding Dinner and got great shot of our family and friends enjoying every moment. I would definitely recommend Jose Luis Zapata. Don't let me get started with the trash the dress shoot.

    Amazing photographer and beautiful edits

    Jose was super easy to work with and made the whole process go with ease. He had a phone call with me ahead of time and was able to answer all of my questions. I had a pinterest board outlined ahead of time and he went right down the list. After seeing the video footage from the day, I am in awe that Jose captured the precise and intimate moments that he did. I will forever be grateful for choosing him to document our special day!

    A Cool Head in the Face of Chaos!

    Working with Jose was wonderful. The weather kind of threw our day for a bit of a loop and changed a lot of our plans and time tables and Jose just rolled with it, helping us as the couple stay on task throughout the day and still getting amazing shots despite the chaos of changing a lot of our timeline about as last minute as possible. I had been a bit nervous about the whole thing since I was planning our wedding from countries away, but I really couldn't have asked for a better photographer to help guide us through the day and to get us the wedding portraits of my dreams. Jose clearly knew his way around the resort and was able to utilize the setting in amazing ways for us. If you are getting married in Belize, especially San Pedro, Jose is your guy.

    I recommend Jose with all my heart.

    Jose is a professional in every respect - it contains a set of features that every modern photographer should have - apart from technical skills, he can also create an extremely positive atmosphere during the session, he understands the client's needs. Pictures taken by him are of the highest quality, with saturated colors, showing various emotions, magical. Michał is a true wizard photographer! I would highly recommend!

    Incredible experience with Jose Luis Zapata Photography

    We had a destination wedding in Belize at the Portofino Resort and needed a photographer. Jose and team was recommended by the resort and we could not have made a decision then taking their advice. Jose was prompt, efficient, super creative and just plain nice to work with. We did an evening with his team trashing our outfits on a small private beach during sunset and the images came out particularly stunning. We could not be happier with the results.

    Don’t hesitate…and don’t cut your photography budget!!

    We hired Jose Luis to photograph our small wedding at our villas. He offered affordable and flexible packages and his skill and professionalism did not disappoint. He was kind, friendly and could have easily been mistaken as an invited guest because of how well he got along with everyone without being the least bit intrusive. Our wedding photos are beautiful. His candid shots captured the joy and laughter so impeccably that we are still able to relive that day each time we look at his photos. His attention to detail by photographing the table setting, the perfect full moon, his keen eye for composition, the location…together with photos of our guests, our couple portraits and the candid shots allowed me to create our wedding video. If i had to mention one regret it would be not hiring him for the whole day. (i took the 3 hour package). While setting a budget for your wedding can be overwhelming, don’t cut the photography budget. You’ll want to remember and relive every aspect of your special day and photos are the way to accomplish that. We highly recommend Jose Luis not only as a wedding photographer…but for anyone looking to document their stay in beautiful Belize for a lifetime of beautiful memories. Thank you Jose Luis, from me and my husband and all of our guests. We will see you again soon. xo

    Belize Wedding

    Our epic plans for our oceanfront Belize wedding got derailed quite a bit from the outskirts of a hurricane. Our wedding planner at Signature Belize Weddings and Events pulled off a miracle and helped salvage the day. But our photographer team, Jose Luis and his wife Perlita were truly amazing. They arrived in the storms and got some great "getting ready pictures for us"... and went back and forth in the rain between the 2 condos to get pics of the Guys getting ready/ hanging out too. They managed to capture a couple cool shots of the ceremony and reception set up so we at least know how beautiful everything would've looked. And they were SO sweet, accommodating, and flexible with the schedule. They even stayed longer because of the storms to make sure we got all the photos we wanted once the rain stopped. I can't wait to see the finished photos... I know they'll be stunning! Thank you again Jose Luis and Perlita! 💜

    The photographer we had booked for our wedding had a family emergency and we found out 3 days prior to our wedding. Jose stepped up and said he would do the photos and they turned out amazing! So glad he came through for us!

    Amazing Experience & Best Photographer Ever!

    I could write pages of how amazing Jose Luis Zapata was to work with. Everything from our communication, to the ease of his online gallery, to his professionalism was the best experience we could have asked for. Neither my husband or I are very comfortable in front of the camera, and we had never had professional photos taken together. He made our experience fun and easy, and our wedding photos were stunning! He delivered truly beautiful pictures capturing our special day and our love for each other. Everyone we have shared them with has said that they look like they are right out of a magazine. He is a true artist and professional and we are beyond appreciative of Jose and would absolutely use him again. If you're planning a wedding, or event, or just want special moments caught on camera in Belize, Jose is the perfect choice. Thank you again Jose’!

    Jose was so responsive when it came to booking our big day. Day of, he showed up right on time and immediately got to work. He was so laid back and put us at ease so it didn't feel super awkward or forced. And the end results... trust me, IT'S WORTH IT!! They are the most beautiful photos I could've ever imagined. Highly, highly recommend booking him!!

    Gorgeous photography!

    The quality, vibrant colors and impeccable touch-ups Jose did for our wedding photos were absolutely stunning! He was punctual, kind and directive, ensuring to help us pose so we got the perfect shots. I also appreciated that he cleaned up the selection for us so we weren't digging through thousands of photos. He narrowed it down to a couple best options for each shot. His online gallery with the rating system was efficient and easy to use! His equipment and editing process is very high end. I've never seen such beautiful photos! He is a true artist and professional!

    Super easy, great experience!

    Jose Luis Zapata Photography was my number one choice when looking for a wedding photography vendor, which I thought I wasn't going to be able to afford due to my small budget. But Jose was able to work within my budget! He was very quick to respond to my emails and very friendly yet super professional. He delivered truly beautiful pictures capturing our special day. Thanks, Jose and Perla! We hope to see you again sometime. We'll definitely refer you as a top wedding photography vendor. All the best!

    Jose Luis Zapata Photography

    We contacted Jose the week before our wedding in Belize. Jose was quick to respond, sent us his various pricing/package options and payment was super easy. Jose was there ahead of time and went over and above with his Photography. Delivery of our wedding photos was fast and we love every single photo! Jose was very fun to work with as well!! Highly recommend Jose Luis Zapata!!

    Professional, Relaxed, and Talented!!

    Planning an elopement destination wedding at the end of 2020 had its challenges, but finding a photographer was not one of them. We were fortunate to have found Jose at the beginning of the year and booked him immediately. Despite multiple location and date changes Jose was nothing but easy going and accommodating through all of it. Neither my husband nor I are very comfortable in front of the camera and we let Jose know we preferred a more organic relaxed vibe. He did just that making the experience fun and easy, giving us beautiful memories to last a lifetime. We are beyond appreciative of Jose and his friendship through the process. If you're planning a wedding or event in Belize we highly recommend Jose!

    Couldn’t ask for better

    We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer for our small destination wedding in Belize. We opted for a sand bar ceremony off of San Pedro. Jose Luis was great. All communication prior to the event was prompt and helpful. The day of the wedding was so smooth. We got all of the shots we hoped for and more! He made posing for pictures so easy and fun, and got candids that were our favorites! The turn around time was about 3 weeks, and the edited images were so good! We elected to have many printed on acrylic from an online (and a local) vendor and the colors were brilliant and perfect!

    Great Experience!

    Choosing Jose as our photographer was best decision. He was prompt in correspondence, which in planning a wedding certainly helps ease a bride's mind. Jose was creative and also listened to our ideas. He made us both feel comfortable, it like he was someone we had known for years. We had a few laughs and got some great pictures. I look forward to going back to Belize and will definitely use him again while we are there for an anniversary.

    Great wedding photographer, easy-going

    We had a destination wedding in Belize and heard from other wedding vendors while doing our research that Jose was one of the best photographers on Ambergris Caye. They told us he was not only an excellent photographer but he was an easy-going person to work with. They all liked him so we took a chance and glad we did! Everything everyone told us was true. He worked with us every step of the way and gave us a collection of photos that we love. Most importantly it was easy and stress free! Being the bride can be stressful on the big day and Jose exuded a calming vibe that was very appreciated. We gave him a list of what photos we were looking for general and he did the rest. Jose, thanks again so much, we will be back for our 10th anniversary!

    Jose is the Best!

    Jose is not only an amazing photographer, he provided the extra level of detail and arranged for the licenses we did not know we needed. He brought that personalized touch, and his assistant gave us great Belizean history and insight, which made our experience truly special. We consider Jose a friend now, and will definitely reach out when we return to Belize. He has our highest recommendation and praises!

    Our Belizian wedding April 5, 2019

    Jose was a wonderful photographer for our wedding at Las Terrazas. Jose was very easy to work with and met with us ahead of time. He listened to our requests, worked with our group and made photos for our special day seem easy.
    We did the photo journalism option and Jose did a wonderful job capturing a timeline of our day.
    Do not hesitate to have his as your photographer.

    Awesome Experience!

    We had the best experience with Jose Luis Zapata Photography! He was very professional on our wedding day. He was very accommodating with moving around the wedding party while we were all getting ready. We had purchased a large photo package and the turn around time for edited photos was great! The quality was superb. The best man wanted to take family photos a couple of days before the wedding. We gave him Jose Luis's contact info. They said their experience was really great. It was quick and easy. They even used their photos for their Christmas cards. My husband and I can't recommend Jose Luis enough!! He really did an amazing job capturing the fun and emotion of our wedding day.

    Photos tell it all

    Jose was professional, accessible, and an overall gem of a person. Above all of his personal traits though, his skill as a photographer was what blew me away. Our photos were gorgeous. Many people couldn't believe they didn't come out of a magazine. I am not exaggerating. Incredible value for the money. He spends the time and care to get things right and make the photos look fantastic. Highly recommended.
