Melissa Mercado Photography - 77720 Playa del Carmen

The absolutely best experience we could have. Melissa made my daughter feel so relaxed and comfortable. My daughter is a perfectionist and self conscious like a lot of teenage girls are. Melissa took the time to get her loosened up and to have fun so my daughter's true personality came through. Melissa is a beautiful person inside and out and it shows through what she captures in her lens. Thanks so much!!

Amazing photos and amazing experience!! We got married in Cancun and we opted out the hotel photographer and picked Melissa, that was the best decision we've made! When you have a destination wedding, you nothing to bring back back by photos of your big day and Melissa is the best person to help you record those moments and memories!

If you are in search of an awe-inspiring photographer in the Riviera Maya, stop your search! When my (now) husband and I decided we wanted to have a destination wedding, one of our main concerns was how would we find an amazing photographer to capture our magical day. Yes, there were multiple options, but upon our first contact with Melissa, we knew she was the one. Her warmth, passion, and experience won us over. She has a remarkable way of not only capturing emotions, but the overall vibe, details, light, etc. She is creative and thoughtful in the most wonderful of ways. To cap off our experience, she created online albums for us and our guests to view and order photos. And, as a surprise, we received a special prize in the mail - a beautiful, Mexican glass box with her favorite prints from our Wedding, complete with a lace bow and USB drive of all of the photos. We are so thrilled with our photos and overall experience with Melissa and her colleague. And I won't forget, when she went to leave for the evening, she gave me a big smooch and thanked us for the opportunity to work with us and our families. Thank you, sweet friend, for the most amazing gift, memories!

We used Melissa for a couples shoot last fall. She is familiar with all of the great places to take shots on the beach and throughout PDC. Not only is she a great photographer, she is just a fun person to be around. She is very familiar with the area and was very flexible with her schedule to make sure mother nature cooperated. There were so many great photos it was very difficult to choose which ones we wanted. She is very creative and spontaneous with her shots. We highly recommend Melissa and look forward to another opportunity to capture memorable moments in PDC again!

We wanted to share our experience with Melissa. While ultimately we weren't able to partner with Melissa for our wedding photography, we had a number of consultation conversations with her as we were planning our special day, and we were blown away by her customer service and responsiveness. Her passion for photography and her overall excitement to share in special moments was truly inspiring. In our few conversations, she was able to demonstrate her knowledge of the Riviera Maya area, her expertise in photography, and her overall flexibility in working with couples. We encourage anyone looking for an exciting photographer in the Riviera Maya area to contact Melissa! We were sad that ultimately we weren't able to use her for our wedding, but we were so pleased with our interactions with her that we wanted to share... and now we know a great photographer for our next special moment in Mexico :) Ash & Juan

Amazing Experience with Melissa Mercado! Highly Recommended! My husband and I hired Melissa for a lifestyle photo shoot and she was incredible! She is warm, inviting, funny, caring, professional and a true artist in every sense of the word! She made us feel super comfortable behind the camera and the body of work that we created was absolutely beautiful! Melissa went above and beyond our expectations and we will continue to work with her on future projects!! Highly, Highly, Highly Recommended!!

We absolutely loved Melissa and her assistant. They captured all the perfect moments and also were so much fun to be around. I did a boudoir shoot before the wedding and they turned out amazing as well. The photo quality was amazing and I loved the lighting of all the the photos. I highly recommend her.

Melissa is amazing. We just got back all of our wedding photos and they really are gorgeous. The color and the candid expressions and moments- we really were blown away. And her personality, friendliness, and willingness to step in and take control when needed is an added bonus that made working with Melissa a dream. I've been in a lot of weddings and Melissa's style and attitude was so much better than any other I have seen or interacted with the day of a wedding. I would recommend anyone getting married in Mexico (or anywhere really!) to go with Melissa! I would rate her higher if I could!
