Couple’s Review *"My husband and I got married in beautiful Riviera Maya, Mexico, last December, and like most brides, I was very particular about the way my wedding pictures would turn out. I was familiar with MTM’s quality of work already since they had photographed my best friend’s wedding in Playa del Carmen a few years back, so my husband and I did not think twice before choosing to work with them. Lincoln immediately responded back and provided us with a great deal of useful information including a website with a full list of Cancun resorts (including the resort map, size, facilities, pros/cons) as well as sample wedding photos for most of the resorts, which made it very easy for me to visualize what the ambiance would look like on the wedding day. Throughout the wedding planning process, Lincoln was always available to answer any questions and was very punctual in responding to my emails and any requests I had. He helped recommend a great local DJ to us, with whom we really enjoyed working as well. On the wedding day itself, Lincoln and MTM did a wonderful job of orchestrating the photography and keeping us on track despite everything unexpected that is bound to happen on the wedding day. They even stayed a little past the promised time to make sure they got shots of us partying and doing tequila shots with our guests. We did have a lot of fun working with them and now that we have received the photos we really love how emotional yet timeless the pictures look. Our shots are elegant, natural and capture the very real moments on everyone’s faces. We look forward to sharing these photos with our loved ones and showing them back home for many years to come. And we definitely recommend MTM to any future brides and grooms looking for a fun and professional wedding photographer to share their special day with."* — Banafseh & Wesley 📩 Contact us here: https://www.momentsthatmatterphotography.com/contact-us #GrandPalladiumWedding

A Holiday Turned Engagement Adventure Michelle and Cope planned a holiday getaway to Mexico, but their time in Playa del Carmen turned into something far more memorable — an engagement photo session by the turquoise Caribbean. Between the palm-lined paths, colorful murals, and golden beach light, every moment felt like it was straight out of a travel romance film. Relaxed and Natural Moments From strolling hand-in-hand through the lively streets to embracing barefoot along the shoreline, the session was all about capturing genuine connection. The couple laughed their way through every frame, with Lincoln and Silvia making sure the atmosphere stayed light, easy, and fun. It was the perfect mix of holiday joy and pre-wedding celebration. Sunset Glow & City Vibes We moved from Playa del Carmen’s lush green parks and quiet backstreets to the iconic beachfront, where the sky exploded with color as the sun dipped behind the horizon. To finish, Michelle and Cope wanted to bring some urban flavor to their session, so we ended with dramatic portraits against the city’s street art walls — a modern twist to balance the natural scenery. Why Choose MTM Photography Couples who work with us often share how comfortable they felt in front of the camera, even if they were nervous at first.

Couple’s Review Lise & Markis Review: Pros: Talented, creative, friendly, flexible, engaging, partners in the process – the list is endless! I am addicted to the pics! Cons: None, zero, nada… thought long and hard and cannot come up with anything constructive. The like of this review says it all, truthfully and honestly. The pics were a joy to work with me and my wife felt like they were true partners in the process, and all was simply perfect. It literally could not have gone better. Among several delays, the threat of rain, children running everywhere, our super-crazy family, and many other unexpected occurrences, MTM was calm, made us laugh, and still managed to capture AMAZING photos! We truly felt like they were guests at the wedding and could have been happier to have them spend time with us on this day. If you are looking for someone who truly cares about your overall happiness, strives for excellence, exhibits flexibility, and is genuinely concerned with capturing this day in the best possible manner that suits YOU – look no further. There is much more to this rant, but I will keep it short. If you would like additional details, reach out to me and I am happy to share. MTM – Another very sincere thank you for everything. Truly an amazing experience from start to finish. We have truly enjoyed getting to know you, and the fact that the pics are so amazing is simply a bonus. Thank you again and wishing you much success and happiness as you have done the same by capturing this day so perfectly for us. — Markis Why Choose Blue Venado for Your Wedding For couples dreaming of a private beach wedding in the Riviera Maya, Blue Venado Beach Club is one of the most breathtaking venues available.

We photographed the wedding of Jennine & Jesse at The Fives Beach Hotel & Residences just outside Playa del Carmen and have to share what an amazing wedding day it was! Our founder & award winning photographer, Lincoln Lehmann, was lead wedding photographer since this was Moments that Matter Photography ‘s first visit to the Azul Fives and it was magic! The girls were having so much fun during getting ready and Jennine was such a fun and beautiful bride to capture! The wedding day was filled with laughter and the ceremony had a few heartfelt tears which always add to the beauty! The Mexico sun bathed us with another beautiful sunset as we photographed amazing images of our newlywed couple! We wrapped everything up with speeches and dancing as the wedding celebration opened up into the night. Its wedding days like this which make being a wedding photographer here in Mexico a dream job! Thank you for having us capture your wedding day for you!!! Jessie & Jennine Review: We recently got married on September 17th 2015, and after 2 years of searching for a Canadian photographer in Mexico, we decided to go with Moments that Matter Photography and so pleased we did! From the initial contact, Lincoln and his team have been the most professional group of individuals we dealt with during our wedding planning. Every email and question was answered promptly and with all the answers we needed plus more! My husband and I hesitated a little on booking a third party photographer only because the resort waned to charge us a $800 out of vendor fee, but it was totally worth it! We went with the gold package and the only downside looking back now was wishing we would have booked Lincoln and his amazing assistant Silvina for longer than the 5 hours!! As soon as they were on site and started snapping photographs, that special moment became real! Silvina was with the groom in is room and took some of the most memorable and precious pictures that I can honestly say, I have ever seen! Lincoln was with us ladies and made everyone feel so comfortable and natural that the only time we noticed he was there, was when he would get us laughing to take the edge off or get everyone to do something completely silly and out of character to snap those once in a lifetime pictures. My husband and I aren't photogenic at all but with Lincoln's advice and direction, all the photographs turned out wonderful! When it came time for the group pictures, Moments that Matter did a great job of requesting from us what groups and families we wanted to have taken so the flow was very smooth and everyone transitioned from one picture to the other with no issues, it was also a great thing that they do this because we did not forget anyone either. My husband and I are so grateful we went with this company and would highly suggest them to any couple looking for wedding/engagement or even family pictures while in Mexico because we have absolutely no complaints and really adore all the photos greatly! Everyone who has seen the pictures have also complemented Lincoln and his team for the totally awesome and artistic shots that we got, each picture is different than the other and we got some really neat ones that we didn't even realize were taken! Thanks so much to Moments that Matter for making those precious moments into everlasting pictures, with the day going by so fast it is great to know that we will have amazing photographs to always look back on!! Jennine & Jesse #TheFivesWedding

Getting Ready The day began with all the excitement that comes before saying “I do.” In the first photos, you can see the bride sharing special moments with her bridesmaids while makeup is carefully applied and dresses hang waiting for their big reveal.

Such and amazing resort located on the outskirts of Playa del Carmen but still walking distance to the famouse 5th Avenue! Our couple had planned a full day for us from getting ready, tests of love for the boys to prove themselves worthy, tea ceremony and multiple group and family pictures! Fantastic day filled with family, friends and love. :-) Congratulations on your beautiful wedding day and hope you enjoy the wedding pictures! Thank you Melany & Alan for your nice words. Review by Melody & Alan: "Our photographers were Lincoln and Silvina and they were absolutely the best photographers anyone could have asked for. We were nervous at first since we have never met them or knew what they were like. But the moment the first photo was taken, we knew we chose the right people. We had a total of 90 guests so there were many faces to capture. Both Lincoln and Silvina would climb, sprawl, or do anything to get the right shot. Best of all... They knew when to lead us and when to leave us be and take photos. For most of the time, I even forgot they were there until we received the photos and realized they captured the right moments at the right time. During group photos and solo shots, they were both very vocal in telling us what they wanted and what to do for poses. Just imagine telling 90 people to gather for pictures and doing that for 9+ hours. Even when the time was done for them, they found some spots at the resort that they needed more photos of. They took the time and shot a few more shots and, one in particular, was everybody's most loved picture of us. They're honestly full of energy and smiles. We're so glad to have brought them in and do our photos rather than using the in-house recommendations. They absolutely go above and beyond what you're expecting. You can bet we'll be recommending them to all our friends and family!!" #ParadisusPlayadelCarmenWedding
