As soon as I saw Marc's work featured on a wedding planners website I knew we had to have him. From the beginning the process was unlike anything we've ever experienced Marc and Gillian were so attentive - answering all questions we had and making sure all the details were taken care of before our big day. On the day Marc arrived and I was instantly at ease he was funny, took control and made the process so care free and fun as it should be! Every guest commented on how attentive he\/his assistant were to the details and how friendly they were stopping to chat to all guests despite how busy they were. THANKYOU so much I would recommend this amazing company to anyone we are beyond happy with everything and cannot wait to see the photos!","rating":5,"reviewer":{"name":"Iona Munroe","id":"10155706579310975"}},{"created_time":"2018-07-11T18:03:11+0000","recommendation_type":"positive","review_text":"OH.

He was an absolute pro at keeping cool and calm despite SIX kids (from ages 9 month to 6 years) and eight adults. He did an amazing job in making us comfortable and relaxed throughout the very challenging photo session. And the outcome of the photos were phenomenal! Booking a photographer in a foreign country can be intimidating as communication may be hindered but Gillian was beyond amazing to work with. One of the reason why I booked with Fun In the Sun Weddings is because there was no difficulty contacting Gillian and all my questions were answered right away. It didn\u2019t even if feel like we were 100s of miles away. I am 1000\u0025 grateful we made the right choice to pick Marc and Gillian and if we were ever to go back to Riviera Maya again, will definitely be giving them a call! I highly recommend Fun in the Sun Weddings....you will not be disappointed!","rating":5,"reviewer":{"name":"Younghee Chun","id":"10155576272775913"}},{"created_time":"2018-04-07T00:11:37+0000","recommendation_type":"positive","rating":5,"reviewer":{"name":"Xiini Rocha","id":"10215131234506975"}},{"created_time":"2018-03-14T17:28:40+0000","recommendation_type":"positive","rating":5,"reviewer":{"name":"Gelena Doehmel","id":"10215497164689914"}},{"created_time":"2018-02-16T01:17:12+0000","recommendation_type":"positive","review_text":"I cannot begin to explain how incredible Fun in the Sun made my proposal! Like most guys, getting engaged was scary, and very confusing. I knew I had to do something memorable, I had to do something special. After booking a trip to Playa del Carmen for the event, I began to look for photographers. I am so happy that I chose Fun in the Sun.\n\nGillian promptly responded to my first email with loads of great advice. Together we planned the entire proposal. I had never been to Playa, so her insight was invaluable. We planned a romantic walk through the jungle, ending on a quiet beach at sunset for the perfect moment. The plan sounded perfect and I was relieved to have someone in Playa, that I already felt comfortable with, helping me with our big day.\n\nWe met Marc on the big day and instantly set off into a jungle area that eventually led to the beach. Marc immediately put us both at ease as he began taking photos. He would stop and pose us often, but also took many candid shots. Marc was a riot and kept us laughing the whole time. When we got to the beach Marc flashed me our \u2018secret signal\u2019 and I got down on one knee for my future bride. To have a professional there to capture the look on her face was absolutely priceless. The shoot ended with some happy playful shots and Marc checking several times that we had gotten any and all poses we wanted.\n\nTo put it quite bluntly, my engage was a huge success thanks in no small part to Marc and Gillian of Fun in the Sun. Thanks again for the memories!","rating":5,"reviewer":{"name":"Derek Gonzales","id":"10102581060306672"}},{"created_time":"2018-01-21T16:16:48+0000","recommendation_type":"positive","review_text":"My new husband and I (and all of our guest) have nothing but wonderful things to say about Fun In The Sun Wedding Photography! Gillian was so helpful and so nice during the planning process! The day of the wedding went so smooth! Marc was amazing! He made sure my husband (who hates pictures) and I felt comfortable! He made us laugh throughout the whole day! He made the whole shoot feel effortless and fun! Our pictures came out beautifully!! We will definitely work with them again when we are in Mexico!!","rating":5,"reviewer":{"name":"Kayla Schwartzman","id":"10204693016242829"}},{"created_time":"2017-12-07T22:25:02+0000","recommendation_type":"positive","review_text":"In the months leading up to our wedding in Riviera Maya, we knew we needed to find an amazing photographer to capture one of the most important days of our lives. My now-wife searched and searched and stumbled upon a picture she loved. She found that it was taken by Marc with Fun in the Sun Weddings so she sent an email inquiry and got a response almost straight away from Gillian. The next few weeks, we went over the details and we were sure we had made the right decision to hire Marc to photograph our wedding. The big day came and everything was such a blur. With so many things going on, it was impossible for us to focus on all the details. Marc was fantastic in his organisation, professionalism, and sense of humour. He knew exactly what needed to be captured and how best to accomplish it. He was so much fun to work with and was able to set everyone at ease. Fast forward a few weeks to when we received the pictures and we were blown away! We were obviously already fans of Marc's style but the photographs went far beyond, even our expectations. There is no way we could've chosen a better photographer. Despite the day being a blur for us, we will always have these incredible images to look back on to remember what an amazing day we had. To anyone getting married or just needing family pictures taken, we cannot recommend Fun In The Sun Weddings enough.","rating":5,"reviewer":{"name":"Harry Grange","id":"4938171490824"}},{"created_time":"2017-11-13T18:17:22+0000","recommendation_type":"positive","review_text":"Gran Calidad y Profesionalismos Karen Arvizu Wedding planner Unas fotos e imagenes increibles ;)","rating":5,"reviewer":{"name":"Ka Arvizu","id":"1035082136651074"}},{"created_time":"2017-11-05T03:35:15+0000","recommendation_type":"positive","review_text":"Marc was so great !

I didn\u2019t have a good experience though. I feel my needs and desires were not listened to. I also feel like they just want to get it done fast and over with and get paid and move on, rather than focusing than making the clients happy.

After exchanging several emails (always resulting in their immediate replies), I Skyped with both Marc and Gillian to present my idea for the surprise proposal. Afterwards, Marc went to the condo where I would be staying in Playa Del Carmen to scout out potential proposal spots and relayed this information back to Gillian, where she then Skyped with me a second time to solidify a plan. In addition, she went out of her way to give me several recommendations and tips for my stay in Playa, where neither my soon-to-be fianc\u00e9 or I had visited before. Once the big day came, I met with Marc right before to finalize our vision for how to capture the proposal. The pictures turned out to be absolutely incredible! My fianc\u00e9 and I were so impressed with Marc\u2019s ability to capture our emotion in the photographs. Many engagement sessions can tend to look staged, however he made the process feel natural, so much so that our friends and family (and us) could not stop raving about how the photos portrayed our true joy and happiness. If you are looking for a photographer for any type of special occasion, I highly suggest you book with Fun in the Sun Weddings and you will be extremely pleased!","rating":5,"reviewer":{"name":"Stafford Hughes","id":"10211849091921289"}},{"created_time":"2017-06-02T02:48:30+0000","recommendation_type":"positive","review_text":"Working with Gillian was such a breeze, she was such a delight!

And looking through their portfolio online, I was really excited to have partnered with them for our wedding. Then we met Marc on the day of the wedding, and he was just as kind and reassuring. He was easy-going, accommodating, and a pleasure to work with. He even showed us a few snapshots that he took as he was shooting, and they were amazing shots; just beautiful! We can't wait to view the rest! Thank you both so much for all your services, and Shari as well of course!
