The Cabo Wedding Photographer

I love shooting destination weddings, and working as a Cabo wedding photographer. I have had some really memorable clients over the years and am committed to upholding a very high standard for my photography, and capturing all the emotion and detail of your wedding day. I do most of my photography in Los Cabos; Cabo San Lucas and San Jose del Cabo, but I travel to many destination weddings in other parts of the world. In terms of natural beauty and resort amenities, Cabo wedding photography is unrivaled in my opinion, and every wedding I take part in is truly unique. I hope you join us for your Cabo wedding soon, or let me know where your having your destination wedding.

I want to share some comments sent in by my clients about the work that we did for them on their wedding days and receiving their wedding photography packages:

“Dear Manuel,

We received the pictures! Well actually we received them last Friday but I have been so busy looking at them that I have not had a chance you email you back.. so sorry! I spent all weekend uploading them to my computer and looking through all 4,000 of them. Then I went to costco and printed 400 of my favorites! It has been so hard trying to narrow them down and i’m definately still in the process.
destination cabo wedding2 Testimonials
Our pictures are soooo incredibly beautiful! Everyone says they look like they are straight out of a magazine. I can’t stop staring at them. You are the most amazing photographer and I am so happy with everything!! I can’t wait to see the album. I know it will be beautiful too. Also I am extremely happy that you suggested we do the ‘trash the dress’ session! I think that that is the most fun we had taking pictures! And most definately some of my favorite shots!

Nick and I had so much fun working with you! We cannot wait to come back and have another photo shoot.

Ashley and Nick”

“Hi Manuel,

Just wanted to thank you soooooo much for the pics they are amazing I can’t tell you how many people just love them. I have people asking me what was the name of the resort & WHO was your photographer.

Here are some of the comments people left on my facebook profile;

Your wedding pics are “AMAZING” Sabrina!…So glad to have finally seen them….What else can I say but “WOW”!!!!!xxxx

The photographer did an awesome job on the pictures! You guys look fantastic and they are all so natural. Glad we FINALLY get to see them! Congrats again. xoxo

So happy, thank you so much for always responding to all of my emails!

Sabrina Lachapelle”

 

“Manuel,

Vibha and I also felt compelled to send an email in support of Manuel in hopes that he will become your preferred vendor for all photo related services offered by the Palmilla. Throughout both days of taking photos,Manuel made Vibha and I feel very comfortable in front of the camera.
destination cabo wedding7 Testimonials
His style allowed us to be ourselves and from the initial photos we have seen thus far, his work is nothing short of perfection. His photographs are very artistic and instead of putting us in poses, he captured our candid moments.
destination cabo wedding8 Testimonials
Our wedding would not have been the same without Manuel taking our pictures. Aside from hiring him as our photographer, Vibha and I truly feel that we have gained a friend. It is our sincerest hope that Manuel will be a familiar face at the Palmilla as your most trusted photographer.

“Hello Manuel Burgoin,

I am Jeannie Bernard, Jordana Bernard’s mother. You took the pictures of her and Zak’s wedding at the Dreams in Los Cabos on November 29th. She just received your beautiful album and picture CD’s a few days ago. The wedding album you created for Jordana and Zak is just stunning.

destination cabo wedding6 Testimonials

After reviewing the pictures on the CD we both agreed that there was not a single picture you included in the album that we would have switched out or discarded. The choices you made are purely beautiful and all of the pictures tell the most lovely story of that beautiful day.

destination cabo wedding9 TestimonialsI don’t think I have ever seen a more perfect wedding album with the most amazing photos ever. The lighting and coloring of the photos is just stunning. Thank you so much for creating such beautiful memories that will last a lifetime for Jordana, Zak and the entire family!

“Hola Manuel!

We are finally settled at home and back to work! I had to take a quick moment to say THANK YOU so so much for all of your hard work the day of our wedding. I’m wiggling in my seat just imagining the beautiful photos that will be coming our way! You are such a sweet person, and have the most amazing professional and calming presence. It was really a joy to share the day with you and your assistants.

destination cabo wedding20 Testimonials

Everyone commented on how hard you all worked! I’m so glad you were able to capture the feeling of our wedding, and the love between Andy and I. It was such a special and memorable day for us. I’ve never felt more happy and in love in my entire life…but I guess that’s the way it should be on your wedding! Once again, I’m so thankful for your hardwork and am so pumped to see the final results! We had a blast with the photoshoot!

destination cabo wedding19 Testimonials

I’m hoping you will be able to send a few “teasers” to tie us over for a while! The girls on the www.bestdestinationwedding.com forum have already started asking for them! I’ll check out the blog too since you mentioned you would put us on there. That will be fun to send to family & friends :)

“OH MY GOD!!! Manuel,

I’ve gotten no work done in the past hour drooling over these pictures! I havn’t even gotten to the full disc yet! I just went through the gorgeous leather book of prints and had to stop in my tracks and e-mail you! EVERY picture looks like it belongs in a magazine! I cannot believe how absolutely amazing these pictures are. I never in my wildest dreams imagined how beautiful they would turn out.

destination wedding Testimonials

You more than exceeded all of my expectations. They are exactly the style I had in mind, and I can’t begin to pick a favorite. They are absolutely spectacular, and you deserve all the praise in the world for your hard work, artistic eye, and obviously amazing talent!

destination wedding1 Testimonials

I’ll be sure to write back as soon as I get through the disc, as I’m sure there are even more special pictures I havn’t even seen yet!!! Great job! We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your attention to detail and hard work for these pictures and memories!

Thank you again,

Amy & Andy Callis”

 

“Hi Manuel,

I received the photo album and CD today. I was on my way out this afternoon and the DHL van just happened to be outside my door. I don’t have to tell you what amazing photos you produce. There is no praise I can give you that you haven’t heard already. I just love the pictures!!! Thank you. We will enjoy them for a life time.

I have a friend who is a journalistic photographer who for the past few years has also started photographing weddings. I pondered about having him photograph my wedding but decided against it. I took my first photography class with him. Can’t wait to show him your work.

I’ve already gone through the 2000 pictures, TWICE.

Looking forward to your reply.

Lisa

P.S. You’re not only creative in your photography, even your salutations are so endearing. I always look forward to them.”

“Hi Manuel,

I just wanted to send you a quick note to let you know how happy we are with our wedding photos and video. Your work is beautiful! I was so impressed with the presentation of it all too! The discs and their cases, and the beautiful 4×6 album with the metallic surface prints! Just gorgeous!

destination wedding13 Testimonials

Your creativity and framing is outstanding… I love it all! Angel did a great job on video and the editing was fabulous. It was also so thoughtful and personalized to put some of the words from Ray’s note to me on screen at the beginning of the video…. so nice!!

destination wedding14 Testimonials

Love the menu pages too! Thank you so much for capturing our emotions and the essence of the day with such beauty… you are excellent at what you do.

“Hello Manuel,

We received our wedding pictures on Wednesday. We can’t thank you enough for getting them to us so quickly. Both families are so excited to see them! They absolutely look gorgeous!! We especially love the gazebo shots. Julie says it looks like we’re in a movie. ;o)

Also thank you so much for granting us reproduction rights. I was thinking of putting together one of those little iPhoto flip books for everyone that attended the wedding.

We are so grateful and appreciate all your hard work. Everything looks so beautiful.

Hope to see you around in Cabo! We will be back!

Sincerely yours,

Derek & Julie Hatfield”

“You are amazing. The album is beautiful .. It is the best I have ever seen…

Varnita”

“Hello Manuel!

I hope you are doing well! We have been showing your photos off to everyone we know! You have a lot of fans here now, if you ever decide to work in the states :) I emailed you a few days ago about changing some of the photos in the coffee table book layout. We love the book, but you have so many amazing photos, we found some we liked even better. I included the file names for the photos we prefer. Please let me know what you think, we value your opinion, you’re the artist! We look forward to hearing from you! Thank you for considering these options. Have a fabulous day!

Alana Serafini”

 

“Good evening Manuel,

Thank you so much for the wonderful coffee book.

destination wedding7 Testimonials

We received the album today and I can’t put it down.

destination wedding8 Testimonials

The pictures are stunning! You are very talented.

destination wedding6 Testimonials
Thanks again for a great day.

Sincerely,

“Hello Manuel

We received the photos and the dvd and everything was fabulous!!! I am so sorry I am just getting back to you, after we got back from our honeymoon things have just been crazy, with work, family, etc…. I guess it’s back to reality again! :-) Thank you so much, everything is just fantastic, everyone who sees them is amazed. We are so very happy with your work, we knew we would be, you are so talented!destination wedding11 Testimonials
Also, we wanted to compliment you on how nice all of our guests said you were and at times it was as if you weren’t even there when you were taking photos! Which resulted in some gorgeous candids. The dvd is amazing, when people see it they are so surprised because they have never seen anything like it, we love to watch it… it’s like being there again & we couldn’t even tell you which photos are our favorites because there are so many.
destination wedding10 Testimonials
We don’t know how we are ever going to choose…so I think we are going to have a house full of wedding photos, we are probably going to dedicate an entire wall to your photos. Thanks again, we wanted to tell you that you were part of making our dream come true by capturing all of our moments, so that we can hold these memories in time forever. Please let us know if you ever need a testimonial or anything of that nature, we would be happy to help! God bless.

Kindest Regards,

I love the photos you took of Lindsay and John. They arrived home this past Saturday night and I have spent hours looking at the CDs and showing off the book you sent back with them. They are absolutely gorgeous!

You even made the mother of the bride (that’s me) look good! We are so excited about the photos and have told everyone who will listen what a wonderful photographer you are. John and Lindsay said they enjoyed working with you and your assistant so much.

“Manuel,

I received the package yesterday and I am completely speechless… I cannot
begin to tell how happy I am with the photos. They are beyond my
expectations and are the most beautifully done wedding photos I have ever
seen. I feel so lucky. I actually cried tears of joy while reviewing them
last night.
Incredible job. THANK YOU! THANK YOU!
