1. Unmatched Knowledge of the Hotel and Its Surroundings
As one of the preferred photographers at the resort, Marc has spent countless hours exploring every inch of Akumal Bay. He knows the secrets of the golden light at dawn over the main pier, the subtle midday brilliance on the beach, and the magical sunset that paints the sky over the ocean with shades of pink. His experience allows him to know the most intimate and private locations for a romantic session, such as the hidden gardens or the rocks along the bay, as well as the most open and festive spaces for family or group photos. This deep understanding not only guarantees high-quality images but also optimizes the session time, allowing you to fully enjoy your vacation or event. His mastery of natural light and the environment is fundamental for creating images that convey the vibrant essence of the Riviera Maya.
2. Synergy and Trust: The Importance of Knowing the Entire Event Team
One of the greatest advantages of working with a wedding photographer who has a long history with the hotel is the relationship of trust and collaboration he has built with the entire staff. Marc Torrecillas knows the hotel’s events team inside and out, from the wedding coordinator, to the DJ, florist, chef, and service staff. This synergy is invaluable.
When all vendors know and trust each other, the workflow is impeccable. The photographer isn’t a stranger but a vital member of a team working for you. This means communication is fluid and direct, with no barriers. If the light changes, if the event schedule shifts, or if any unexpected issue arises, Marc is in constant communication with the hotel staff, allowing for seamless coordination and immediate responses without causing stress. Imagine the florist arriving with the arrangements, and Marc already knows exactly where to place them for the best light. Or the DJ is about to announce the first dance, and the photographer is already positioned at the best angle. This network of contacts ensures that every detail, from the delivery of the flowers to the moment the cake is cut, is captured flawlessly and on time. The result is a stress-free event where the only concern for the client is to enjoy the moment.
3. A Personalized and Stress-Free Experience
A photo shoot should be a fun and memorable part of your experience, not a source of anxiety. Marc’s approach is built on comfort and authenticity. He takes the time to understand your vision, whether you’re looking for a candid family session, a dreamy engagement shoot, or a fun-filled trash-the-dress session. His friendly and professional demeanor puts clients at ease, resulting in natural, relaxed photos that genuinely reflect your personality and that of your loved ones. From the initial consultation to the delivery of the final images, the process is clear, transparent, and designed for your peace of mind.
4. Beyond the Beach: The Magic of a Jungle Wedding
While the beaches of Akumal provide a stunning backdrop, a growing number of couples are choosing the magic and intimacy of a jungle venue for their big day. Marc isn’t just a beach photographer; his expertise extends to the majestic cenotes and lush hidden gardens in the jungle. These locations offer a unique sense of intimacy and adventure, surrounded by ancient trees, unique rock formations, and the sounds of the rainforest. Marc knows how to use the light filtering through the dense canopy and the rich textures of the natural surroundings to create truly cinematic and one-of-a-kind photos. If you’re dreaming of a destination wedding in the Akumal jungle, Marc’s experience in these environments is an invaluable asset.
