We had family photos done in Puerto Vallarta while on vacation from Canada.

Marion had great communication leading up to the date and met us right at our resort so we didn’t have to go far. He was so good with our almost one year old to make sure he was happy and comfortable.

We got SO many incredible photos it was so hard to choose only what was in our package! The best part of it all is we received over a hundred photos less than 24 hours after the photoshoot time.

We would absolutely recommend it to other couples/families and we would look him up again in the future! -Shae

We had such a great experience with Mario. Working with him was very fluid, and effortless.

The end results were above and beyond our expectations. Mario is a true artist, a kind person, and very knowledgeable at his craft.

We recommend him 1000% to anyone considering a photographer in the PV area. Muchas Gracias Mario 🙏 -Ken & Brianna

I honestly cannot say enough wonderful things to describe both our shoot and the finished results with Marion. With 4 & 2 year old boys, my expectations of family photos have lowered substantially. If I can get one good photo out of the session, I’m happy.

Marion blew my expectations out of the water. There are literally too many great ones to choose! I am beyond grateful for his services. He’s captured images I’ll cherish for the rest of my life. -Terri

Marion was great! Extremely kind, worked with me throughout the process. He gave me advice on everything from location to box size for the big day. He is bilingual and was able to make us feel relaxed, and also gave us great instructions on the photos. He made our special day extraordinary. -Justin

We booked Marion while in PV for an event on short notice.

He was AMAZING. If you’re questioning whether or not to book with him, it’s a no brainer. He was easy going, very easy to communicate with and fun to experience a photo shoot with.

We loved the photos so much that we purchased all of them. HIGHLY recommend!!! -Shelby

We had such a great time at our photo session, thanks to Marion. My whole family was so happy with him. He directed the session which is exactly what we wanted, he joked around with us, made us feel comfortable. I cannot say enough good things about him. Thank you, Marion for our beautiful pictures. -Dorris

Marion's photos are excellent! He worked wonders with our lively 3.5-year-old, patiently snapping the most adorable shots.

The whole shoot felt like a playdate; we had a blast! And the final pics? Perfection! Thanks a million, Marion! -Torre

Marion was such a joy to work with! We both hate having our picture taken and he helped us feel relaxed and comfortable.

The photos he took were absolutely beautiful. I just got my wedding album and all of my friends and family were blown away by the pictures. Highly recommend! -Marni

We were looking for a Puerto Vallarta-based photographer to shoot some 50th Anniversary pictures for our extended family (14 people including toddlers, teenagers, adults and seniors).

We had a tight window as we arrived in town via a cruise ship. Marion was a pleasure to work with, knew how to engage the kids, keep it fun and keep it moving.

We're very pleased with our pictures and think we got fantastic value (especially when comparing with what we would pay if we did the pictures on the ship). Would recommend him in a heartbeat! -Jason

We were fortunate enough to have had Marion who is an exceptional photographer for our family session on the beach. He captured moments that will be cherished for a lifetime and made the session a lot of fun. He is super personable and lovely to work with.

We are very happy with the photos. Thank you Marion -Jodi

Marion was simply amazing. From receiving a personalized message from him prior to booking, reserving my shoot, communication all throughout was absolutely excellent.

Given that I opted for the incognito surprise style proposal I had to change plans multiple times and Marion was extremely accommodating and also helped with finalizing the location and time of day for it to be the best possible outcome that I could not have even imagined.

His photo taking skills are also excellent, the pictures turned out stunning and we could not thank Marion enough for his service.

Highly recommend for any style shoot. You will not be disappointed. -Ramzy & Andy

Marion did a fantastic job managing 22 people ranging from 7 to 73. He made the shoot fun, keeping people engaged with him.

His versatility as a professional photographer was incredible.

We would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a professional photographer throughout the Puerto Vallarta area.

Family Vibes in PV 2023 -Tamara

Marion did such a fantastic job with this photoshoot! My family (a group of 9) had two very young children in the shoot, and Marion got their attention and made their experience fun and fast-paced. He is really great with kids! We really like his style and ability to do portrait photos, but he also specializes in candid photography.

Leading up to the photoshoot, Marion was quick to respond and helped us set up a good time and location for the shoot. He was also very understanding and flexible when we had to change our shoot day a few weeks before our shoot. -Joel

We had a Proposal photoshoot in Puerto Vallarta. I wanted to catch the proposal on camera for our friends and family to see! The photographer was great! Marion helped me find a great spot on the beach, helped me set up and caught some great photos. He was helpful and friendly, I would recommend for your photos! I enjoyed the entire experience, we both did. It was our first photoshoot ever! -Jessica

We were staying in Punta Mita but wanted a location for our engagement photos that was more remote. Marion suggested Litibu and we are glad we did it there! A huge stretch of virgin beach with an incredible sunset view. Highly recommend!! -Katy

We had a shoot to capture our anniversary in Puerto Vallarta to have updated photos in our home! Absolutely amazing! Marion was so incredibly great at directing and providing the best shots. His assistant was very helpful as well! She even carried our back pack for us that had our extra clothes. -Greg

Booking through Local Lens was extremely easy and successful. I reviewed the photographers, selected Marion and booked my shoot within 24 hours. Marion was an excellent communicator and timely throughout the process. He made my husband and I feel comfortable which I really appreciate. -Kali

We wanted sunset/night lighting for a moody atmosphere. Our shoot went great! -Rykarda

Needed some updated family photos! Marion was absolutely wonderful to work with! He was a great communicator, flexible, so sweet, and did such an amazing job making our kids laugh. We LOVE our photos. Thank you, Marion! -Abby

I surprised my girlfriend at Casa Kimberly on their iconic bridge, and Marion was there hiding for the surprise pictures. It could not have been more beautiful and Marion did such a great job finding other great areas for our photoshoot. We don’t love taking photos and he made us feel very comfortable. He was very timely and spoke great English. Communication beforehand was very helpful and eased my stress. -Tommy

We booked a shoot because we wanted family photos on the beach. It was great! Marion did a wonderful job and captured our family perfectly. It was fun and I love the photos! -Jordan

We booked a shoot because we wanted memories from a vacation with our young children and their Grandparents. I wasn't sure we'd be able to pull it off as getting young children to cooperate for pictures isn't easy... I also do not feel natural in front of a camera and I'm not really good at coming up with photo ideas. But our photographer Marion was fantastic. He made us all feel very comfortable and kept the shoot moving along very well. He was fantastic with our kids who were definitely a bit shy at the start and had lots of great ideas to get good shots of them. He captured some wonderful posed shots as well as many candid images and provided us with some great memories. Would highly recommend Marion! -Nicole

We booked a shoot to celebrate 25 years of annual vacations. Beautiful photoshoot on Conchas Chinas beach. Everything went very well and Marion captured beautiful pictures. -Radhika

Amazing! He was able to capture our special moment with every detail, making the pictures worth a million words. Despite the cloudy weather, pictures turned out amazing. He was super fast in editing them and giving us our photos back. Would recommend! -Syed & Jenn

It was one of the best experiences that were capture in photographs and we are so thankful for the great work Marion did. -Maggy Bravo

I had a great shoot with Marion! I was traveling in Puerto Vallarta and wanted to take advantage of a solo shoot. Marion came prepared, showing me some cool local spots. He provided a ton of much-needed direction, which put me at ease. I also enjoyed the conversation, learning about the local area. Pics turned out great! -Corey

Marion was an amazing photographer. He was early to our appointment and was there for the entire time that we agreed upon. He was very personable and very easy to work with. He helped me form a plan to make it seem like it was "family photos" so it could be a surprise for my fiance. He executed perfectly, and she had no idea! He even gave us the fake "family" photos, which were phenomenal! Thank you so much for capturing a very special moment! Would highly highly recommend Marion for your photos! -Reed
