We had a great experience with Beth as our wedding photographer in Sayulita! She was communicative and organized in the lead up to the wedding. She also gave us great recommendations for other vendors for the wedding and activities for our trip. The photography experience the day of was great. I really appreciated how efficient but also thorough she was. We're thrilled with the results. The photos are amazing! I highly recommend Beth for wedding photography. read more

Beth came from Sayulita to Puerto Vallarta to photograph our family for our 25th Wedding Anniversary. She was very easy to work with; she knew exactly how to get the best shots, even three 7 year olds!! She is very professional and prompt and has a lot of knowledge on framing and packages. read more

Beth took our engagement photos while we were in Puerto Vallarta at the end of January and we LOVE every single one. She was great to work with and her creativity showed in the final products. Beth also made us feel very comfortable and it felt like we knew each other for years! Aside from having our photos taken with beautiful scenery, all of the photos really captured every moment. Highly recommend! read more

Beth was very responsive and helpful when I spoke with her about shooting our vow renewal. I did not know where to really start with the planning process and she shared so much useful information. Her photos are beautiful! read more

I recently hired Beth for a boudoir shoot with a bunch of girlfriends in Sayulita and cannot say enough good things about the experience. Beth blew me away! She made the shoot so much FUN that the photos almost didn't matter - until I saw them....AMAZING!!! She truly knew the right styles, backgrounds, light, and mood to capture us each at our best. We felt like supermodels for the day. The experience was truly phenomenal, I highly recommend her!! read more

Beth was very responsive and helpful setting up a vacation family shoot. Photos seemed to have come out fine but we never received the final pictures. I suppose I was a bit naïve but access to the digital photos was not included in the price of the shoot we had prepaid for, which wasn't cheap. There was no mention from Beth prior to the shoot. When we found this out, Beth explained that most people ask first. The digital photos were about 3x the price of the shoot. Much more expensive than any other quote we received even though she seems to think it's on par with the area photographers. It wasn't a pleasant experience and I'd recommend finding someone much more upfront about the process. Pretty disappointing to walk away from some family photos. read more

Beth was our wedding photographer and we can't thank her enough! Planning a wedding is stressful, so it's an incredible weight off to work with someone who makes the process so easy. For two camera shy people, it was awesome to have a laid back photographer who put us and our guests at ease. Beth knows Sayulita very well and took us to great spots around town for our photos. I was nervous about taking photos but ended up having a blast. Beth also referred us to an officiant who we absolutely loved, and recommended the Chica Locca boat tour which we chartered with most of our wedding guests (Chica Locca is awesome btw). Several of them remarked that it was the best day they'd ever had. Thanks again, Beth! read more

I can't thank Beth enough for all her help making our wedding day absolutely magical! She not only played the role of wedding planner, I now consider her a dear friend. We went to Sayulita Mexico on vacation, when my then boyfriend proposed and followed it up with another proposal, "would you want to get married down here in a few days?". He knew me pretty well because I said yes to both! He had an officiant and photographer lined up on stand by. We then met up with Beth the next night and through the next couple days Beth helped me find my dress, jewelry, flowers, lined up my hair and nails. She not only played the role of wedding planner, she also did an amazing job on our photos! We then had her do our photos up near San Francisco at our party we threw for friends and family. She is so talented and is an all around amazing person! I can't praise her enough! read more

Dekker Photography - Event Photography Near Me - Sayulita, NAY

See all

I was a little hesitant about doing a boudoir session because I wanted photos that looked artful vs. trashy. Beth did an amazing job of coaching me through and photographing so I got exactly what I wanted. She is fun, professional and inventive. I can't wait to gift the photos to my husband for our anniversary! read more

I was introduced to Beth through a friend back in the Bay Area and we could not have been more lucky to work with Beth throughout our whole wedding process. My husband and I spent some time down in Sayulita leading up to our wedding so we had a chance to get to know Beth before our big day. She helped us with intro's to a number of different vendors while we were planning our big day and even helped us make a boat cruise reservation - all out of the goodness of her heart which is reflective of the kind of individual she is. On our wedding day, she was absolutely amazing. We had a huge wedding party (think 17 people needing to be corralled throughout the town) and she handled us with absolute grace, patience and still had a lot of fun. We hopped in golf carts and found the most beautiful spots around Sayulita for pictures. Throughout our wedding, she was in all the right places to get great shots without being too over the top. We ended up having her stay for an extra hour and she was so flexible with us on working that out on the spot. After having a chance to look at all of our pictures, it is evident that Beth has an incredible talent. Sayulita's beauty is in the vibrant colors and Beth managed to capture the town, our wedding party, and my husband and I with equal vibrancy. I could not be more thrilled about our pictures and look forward to having these for the rest of our lives. I cannot recommend Beth enough. You will get much more than just a great photographer but someone who deeply cares that your big day is perfect in every way! read more

Beth did a photo shoot of my extended family on the beach down in Sayulita. She is fantastic with the kids, and got amazing shots out of them. She incorporated a lot of candid & action shots, and took us to some fabulous locations along the beach and in the town. Everything was so colorful, and she even recommended we pick up a couple of outfits from the local market for the kids beforehand. The kids absolutely adored working with her - it was like playtime! Beth has SO much energy and creativity in her shoots that come across in the final album. We have such a lovely record of our vacation. Thanks, Beth! read more

Beth was absolutely amazing to work with from start to finish! Her professionalism and expertise really stood out throughout the entire wedding planning process. From the minute I chatted with her over the phone the first time, I knew she was 'the one' who was going to shoot our wedding! She was so excited for us like we had known her for years which really made it easy for us to chat with her and come up with a photo plan for the big day. Her attention to detail was so nice and definitely made us feel like we were in great hands! My favorite part of the wedding weekend was when Beth asked us if we wanted any Sayulita suggestions and she arranged for our entire wedding group to have a private party at one of the local bars a few nights before the wedding. It was so much fun! Her thoughtfulness is truly amazing and really I enjoyed getting to know Beth as a friend rather than a vendor throughout this process! I also really appreciated her Sayulita knowledge and how she took us to some off the beaten path locations to get some great shots. From the teasers Beth sent me a few days after the wedding, I can tell we made the best decision by hiring her. I cannot wait to see the rest of the photos - I just know they will all be perfect. I can't wait to have another reason for us hire Beth again in the upcoming years. She is truly fantastic and great at what she does and I will highly recommend her for years to come! read more

Beth at Dekker Photography was awesome! A few weeks before the wedding, she called and set up a timeline for the big day to ensure we had time for all of the pictures we wanted. She also recommended activities and things to do in the area (it was a destination wedding in Sayulita so we found that very helpful!). They day of the wedding, she was very professional and had tons of great ideas for locations/pictures. The pictures turned out AMAZING and really captured the emotions and activities of the whole day. At the wedding, you didn't even notice she was there taking pictures, because she wasn't in people's way during the speeches or dances (which I've seen other photographers do, unfortunately). She got our pictures to us promptly after the wedding and even made some extra retouching that I requested - a big thank you for that :) She is fantastic and I highly recommend her for a wedding photographer! read more
