Ambergris Caye Wedding Photographers

At LMP Studios, we have over a decade of experience specialized in photographing weddings. Our passion for capturing such intimate celebrations of love and friendship has led us all over Ambergris Caye, Belize’s largest island. Overtime, we’ve grown to know the industry throughout and are recognized for the refined galleries we deliver, the couples who trust and love us, and our prices that perfectly complement our expansive services. Simply put, we offer every couple a complete package as we work hand in hand with resorts and other vendors which makes for an invaluable wedding experience.

Whether you’re planning an elopement, an intimate wedding with just close family and friends, or a family reunion-slash-vacation-style wedding, there’s plenty of resorts to choose from in Ambergris Caye. Coco Beach, Belizean Shores, Las Terrazas, Victoria House, Caribbean Villas, Grand Caribe, Mahogany Bay Village, and Ramon’s Village are just a few of the major resorts we’ve photographed weddings. But no matter where you plan to create your new memories on the island, chances are our photographers have been there and know the perfect spots for your photos.

In addition, we also help link our couples to planners, officiants, florists, makeup artists, hairdressers, deejays and other vendors. During the time that we’ve dedicated to photographing hundreds of weddings, we’ve not only worked alongside these vendors but have also observed our unwavering commitment to these celebrations mirrored in them.

Meet Your Ambergris Caye Wedding Photographers

Meet our highly-skilled wedding photographers, Leonardo Melendez and Efrain Gomez, who might just be the ideal fit for your big day.

Efrain, whose interest in photography was sparked over five years ago, is an associate of Leonardo’s. He is the photographer resorts and planners usually recommend to couples who are not too comfortable being in front of a camera or who are not too keen being the center of attention. So if you’re concerned about your pictures looking posed or worried about crippling social anxiety, Efrain is your photographer.

Having photographed numerous weddings, he has adapted his fascination with human connections, interactions, and emotions to his photography style. This is why we’ve had couples rave about how relaxed and at ease they felt throughout their wedding day with him as their photographer. Some newlyweds have also expressed their appreciation for Efrain because he offers guidance and direction, which makes their day run smoother and their pictures look more natural. So you can say that throughout his experience, Efrain has also developed a trained eye for capturing laughter, happiness, excitement and everything else in between.

Leonardo, on the other hand, has nearly a decade of experience in photography. Resorts and planners usually recommend him to couples who are detail oriented and know exactly how their special day will unfold. Most of these brides and grooms typically have elaborate timelines and mostly prefer that their entire day is documented with a photojournalistic approach. It is this very approach paired along with his keen eye for photography that has led his work to be published in both local and international blogs and magazines.

Having photographed countless weddings in Ambergris Caye alone, Leonardo has crafted his photography style to incorporate his passion for details. His meticulousness while capturing weddings is what puts couples at ease, like knowing that their customized shot list is at the forefront of his mind. So no matter how intricate or straightforward something may seem to others, Leonardo prides himself in capturing every single moment couples treasure most.

Ambergris Caye Wedding Galleries

Wondering if you could get the best of both worlds with one photographer? Honestly, it’s not as unheard of or complicated as you may think. Although Leonardo and Efrain have their preferred photography styles, they are both versatile. In fact, the two have honed the art of seamlessly switching up their styles to cater to their clients’ preferences.

Check out the galleries below which showcase some of the different styles they have captured on camera.

Our Commitment to Wedding Photography

At LMP Studios, we take photography seriously and are fully committed to making every gallery memorable. So, there’s no need to worry about your pictures getting lost, not getting the photos you want, or not looking flattering in them.

For this reason, our editing team works diligently on every gallery to ensure that the right amount of time and attention is spent on every wedding photographed. So that about 4-6 weeks after your wedding day, you can receive high-resolution photos in a private online gallery accessed with a link and 4-digit pin. On average, we deliver approximately 40-60 images per hour of photography coverage.

Fortunately, for couples who book with us, delivery doesn’t always have to be the end of the professional relationship. Should it so happen that you have additional requests for retouching, our team of in-house editors who have worked on almost everything from hair retouching to body correction, tan lines, creases in clothing and object removal, won’t hesitate to roll up their sleeves and revisit your gallery. Moreover, even months or years later, if you happen to lose your wedding photos, we are always willing to help you retrieve your cherished images.

Ambergris Caye Wedding Photography Packages

Curious to find out what our Ambergris Caye wedding photography packages are? Take a look at our standard rates below. You may have noted that Leonardo’s and Efrain’s wedding photography package prices vary. This is mainly due to the difference in their years of experience and preferred style.

Custom packages, however, are also available in case the standard packages above aren’t what you have in mind for your special day. Of course, the rates of these custom packages depend on individual preferences – like the type of coverage and number of photos desired.

If you’re uncertain about the amount of photography coverage hours you will need, we have booking assistants and photographers who can help. With just a few minutes of your time, we can hop on a call with you, find out exactly what you’re going for and recommend a photography package fit for your special day. Regardless of how many hours or the photographer you decide to book, if it so happens that you’d like more coverage later on, you’re more than welcome to upgrade your photography package mere weeks before your big day.

Yes, other photographers may be able to offer wedding photography at the same rates or even lower. However, certain things just can’t be matched; and you certainly wouldn’t want to compromise on quality when it comes to your wedding photos. So why not leave it up to the professional photographers at LMP Studios who have a knack for capturing weddings and know the subtle details that go into planning such events?

Here’s what some of our past clients have to say about Leonardo and Efrain.

“My husband and I got married in March 2018 on Ambergris Caye, and we couldn’t have been happier with having Efrain Gomez as our photographer (along with his associate). The pictures were absolutely BEAUTIFUL and really captured the essence of us, our family, and our wedding as a whole. Efrain called us ahead of time and asked us what our wishes were for the photos and the style we were going for, and I felt he did a great job with capturing what we wanted. The final editing was also of really amazing quality, and my family has still been talking about what amazing job the photographers had done even months after our wedding. Ashanti was so helpful with scheduling and coordinating, and really everything about working with Leonardo Melendez photography was really professional, well done, and seamless for us. We HIGHLY recommend them for your wedding or special event.” – Jamie & Andy

“The entire team is amazing! We worked with Efrain and he was wonderful. The picture quality and clarity was perfect. The day of Efrain was very calming and sweet, and had the right balance of letting us experience our day and also pushing us for some great extra shots that we are so grateful to have now. Our other videographer company was awful (entire video out of focus), so we are so thankful to have the amazing pictures and quality from Efrain. We had another reception back home a month later and the team was kind enough to edit 80 pictures for us ahead of schedule to use at our reception! Their customer service, response time and professionalism are top notch.” Kenzie & Patrick

“If you are having a wedding in Belize do yourself a favor and hire Leonardo Melendez Photography as your Photographer. They are amazing with communication, friendliness, understanding your vision and not to mention the photos you get are stunning done by true talent.
It’s harder than one thinks to Elope 2000 miles away I had to hire someone I never met in person and trust that it will work out after viewing their work on the internet. Seeing that we decided last minute to elope on our planned vacation.
We had been exchanging emails about what type of photos we wanted and what we didn’t want. Efrain took the time to call me and talk at length about our vision and what we wanted. That call eased my mind and I knew everything would be great.
Excellent customer service all away around. I can’t say enough wonderful things about everyone I dealt with at Leonardo Melendez Photography.
They love what they do and it shows in more than just the pictures, which will blow you away! My pictures look like postcards its such a great keepsake.

The experience I had with Leonardo Melendez Photography is worth every penny and then some.” Jennifer & Jack

“Our experience was absolutely wonderful! We booked Efrain to shoot photos of our wedding at Ambergris Caye, Belize at a resort. He did an excellent job, and was very patient. He listened to our very few requirements, and we just let him be as creative as he wanted to be with the rest. He was not pushy or rushed. The photos were amazing! We got the previews first, and then they delivered the rest within a few months. Our family really enjoyed them. We highly recommend this photographer…just go to their website. You’ll see some amazing photos. The customer service was very responsive. We dealt with Tracy on the administrative stuff. They were worth every single penny, Next time we vacation in Belize, we will probably book them just for fun because Efrain was that good. He captured our moment flawlessly. We were there during the high season, and they made it go so easily. Go with this photographer. You won’t be disappointed.” – CV
