This review is long overdue. I'm coming up on my one year anniversary in a few days and knew I had to make sure I finally got it done. Working with Sweet Fire was such a wonderful experience. I was so stressed out, planning a destination wedding and didn't really know where to start. Silvi was super responsive and answered all of my questions. One of my big concerns was lighting. I am a black woman with family of ranging skin tones and really wanted to make sure my family and friends were captured in the proper lighting. When asked, she reassured me by showing me examples of their work from their diverse clientele and reassured me that everyone would look their best. Which they absolutely did. What cemented me choosing Sweet Fire was the first consultation. Not only was Silvi kind, but she was one of the first and only people to slow down and ask me about my love story and how my fiancé and I fell in love. It was such a sweet and special moment that took me by surprise. In all my decision making for my nuptials that question didn't really come up too often. I appreciated that she wanted to know more about my fiancé and I in order to capture our day properly. I already knew I made the right decision hiring Sweet Fire but the wedding day really made it clear. The Sweet fire team was amazing. Once they arrived it was go time. They captured so many amazing moments and gave us great direction. We were working against the sunset and they captured the most beautiful images. I even had guest commenting. "Whoa that photographer is on top of it."They were seamless in their execution and you could see their experience and love of working together. It was a very smooth stress free process. If I had to list one thing I would have done differently would have been to fill out the pdf they sent listing out the family members, wedding party, and any additional shots that I may have wanted.I was given plenty of opportunity to let them know but I was so stressed out with decision fatigue that It was just one more thing I couldn't think about. Definitely set aside time to get that done. Even with me not taking care of that they wrangled my wedding party and family members quickly to get the best photos possible. I remember saying I wanted my wedding to be relaxed yet fun. Sweet-fire definitely was able to capture that and I could not be more grateful. read more

My husband and I from Canada had no idea where to start with hiring a photographer for our wedding in Riviera Cancun. After some failed attempts and poor communication with a few others, I found Silvi and Sweet Fire Photography through Facebook recommendations, and I instantly fell in love with her style. Communication was fast and professional, and we were given all of the information we would need up front. We set up a Zoom call with Silvi, and we knew right away that it was the right fit for us. We opted to have her husband Lincoln as the second shooter, and what a great decision that was! Their working style together was exactly what we wanted, they are truly a Dream Team. Everything about the process was easy, communication was clear, and Silvi checked in several times leading up to our arrival in Mexico. From the minute they arrived at the resort, we were having fun. The boys were laughing and the girls were feeling at ease. Silvi has a calming presence and I didn't feel at all nervous, she led us through all of our getting ready photos with a great energy. Silvi and Lincoln were both so easy to talk to and gave excellent direction, we never felt uncomfortable or unsure during our newly wed photos after the ceremony. They were fun and friendly, and were always there to capture the best moments during our ceremony and reception. Our photo gallery and slideshow arrived right on schedule, and my husband and I watched the slideshow together on Christmas Day, the best Christmas gift ever! We watched it twice in a row because it was so beautiful and fun. We both had big smiles and a few tears. Sweet Fire Photography captured our wedding exactly as we had wanted and we couldn't be happier with the results. We hope to have an opportunity to work with them again in the future. Thank you! read more

We hired Silvi and Sweet Fire Photography for our wedding in December 2022 at Excellence Playa Mujeres resort. I had found Sweet Fire through Instagram, liked the way the photos looked, and enjoyed the "How to Plan a Destination Wedding" e-guide. I was a little nervous to choose a photographer for our destination wedding without meeting in person, but I was able to schedule a Zoom meet and greet with Silvi and from our conversation I knew I wanted her as our photographer. She is kind, funny, effervescent, relaxed, and a good human being. When planning our wedding, amazing photos were one of my top 3 non-negotiables. And Silvi delivered above my expectations! She has such an artistic eye and knows how to give subtle directions that make you feel silly in the moment but create beautiful photos. I am so glad we did a first look so that I could be relaxed walking down the aisle and during the ceremony. I treasure that we have photos of myself and my husband with each of our couples (we had 24 guests), right after the ceremony. I also like that we have a very good balance of serious and fun photos, as well as some editorial/sexy photos too. Silvi and her team perfectly captured our event with a photo-journalism style, and I'm so pleased. One other thing I appreciated is that she sent us a "sneak peak" of some photos within 2-3 weeks of the wedding happening, and we got all our photos within 2 months - which is a wonderful turnaround on wedding photos! I would definitely use her again if we came to Cancun/Riviera Maya and had a need for photos and I recommend her 10/10. read more

Love this duo, I picked this company because I liked their portfolio. It didn't matter if it was a big or small wedding they smashed it. Now I have had my pictures and video it really shows their ability to really know what is important for that couple. I am very critical of pictures of myself and I hate having my picture taken, however my pictures are beautiful. My video which included the drone has blown me away, how does a film of less than 4 mins capture everything we felt on our wedding day! Well it did and I cry every time I see it, I didn't pick the song on the video they did (never heard of it until now) it was like the song was written for us. We had hiccups with the wedding due to the weather (very windy) so everything was changed last min, it was a little rushed but that was because my wedding wasn't on time and pushed back, however they captured amazing pictures with the little light they had left to work with. I love their enthusiasm and how they knew each other so well, they worked well together and there was absolutely no judgement from them. My wedding was very small and intimate and this wasn't an issue either. My only regret is that I didn't book trash the dress, I booked sweetfire because Silvi was very attentive from start to finish, her packages were affordable and you could suit them to your needs! So have no doubt you are in safe hands and do trash the dress! Lots of love from Catalina and Peter x read more

Absolutely amazing wedding photographer! We came across Sweetfire Photography when researching photographers for our destination wedding in the Cancun area. Given the fact that all of the on-line reviews were very positive we elected to give them a go. They (the owner, Silvina) immediately responded to our initial query we made on their website. Subsequent to this initial contact, Silvina was extremely helpful in putting together a plan and proposal that was tailored to our individual needs, very competitive and exactly what we were looking for on our wedding day. Throughout the whole process and whether by email or telephone, I could not believe how timely the responses were (even over Christmas and New Years when Silvina was away in the Dominican vacationing with her family!). On the day of the wedding, Silvina and her husband, Lincoln (her "assistant") were fantastic. They showed up right on schedule and at the time promised and were fantastic to work with. They made our guests and ourselves all feel really comfortable (they are both a lot of fun too). We recently received the finished product and the photos are amazing!!! They did a fantastic job of capturing our wedding day on film. I wouldn't hesitate to use Sweetfire Photography. Great people, amazing service and an amazing product at a great price!

I don't know where to begin! We had an amazing experience working with Silvi and her team! We first met at our engagement session and right away her personality shined and made you feel so comfortable! She is great on guiding you how to pose but overall make you feel confident when she is taking the pictures! On our wedding day she came in with her team with a positive energy ready to capture memories that will last forever! Her husband was the videographer and I love the bond they have with each other. They both have great ideas when it comes capturing memorable moments and work so well together. My bridal party and guest love how cool and down to earth were and captured so many great pictures! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND SWEET FIRE PHOTOGRAPHY! Trust me you will not regret it! If you want someone that loves what they do and does an amazing job of capturing amazing pictures get them for your wedding! Silvi is great at communicating, anytime I had questions she quickly responded. I loved working with her and can not wait to work with her again in the future! Thank Silvi and Sweet Fire for capturing beautiful pictures on our special day. My husband and I truly appreciate! read more

My wife Sharon and I were renewing our wedding vows in Mexico on our 30th wedding anniversary. We wanted to ensure we had enduring memories of the day, so researched who we felt would do a fantastic job of photo's and video. From the initial contact with Silvi, we felt very confident in our choice. Silvi and Lincoln turned up on time on the day, and led the way from there! Their naturally relaxing, fun personalities made a big difference, as did their amazing professional skills. Part way through, the weather turned bad, with wind and rain gate crashing the ceremony! This is were true talent comes to the rescue, as Silvi and Lincoln adapted the photo shoots with incredible ease! They turned what most photographers would concede as a unrecoverable negative situation, into a positive opportunity! It doesn't matter how good you are with a camera, if you are unable to think outside the box, and adapt creatively to the situation, you may as well sell the camera any try a different career! In a nutshell we highly recommend hiring Sweet Fire for your special day! read more

Extremely happy with the service and the price! We chose Sweetfire to capture our wedding of 43 guests at the Azul Fives resort in Playa del Carmen. Silvina and her partner were very professional, organized and a delight to work with. I was very impressed with her direction to get everyone in the pictures we wanted and she knew all the spots at the resort and we got everything we wanted, even when we had new ideas spontaneously. We chose to also work with the videographer team that Sweetfire works with as well, and the entire team of 2 photographers and 2 videographers was wonderful. From the moment I contacted Sweetfire while looking at different photography options, they were prompt and easy to communicate with. They were not ever pushy, and answered all my questions and spoke to any hesitations I had. I emailed Silvina directly throughout our wedding planning. I would absolutely recommend Sweetfire! My only regret was that I didn't book them longer than 5 hours :), looking back I wish we agreed to have them with us as long as possible. read more

I CANNOT recommend Silvi and Lincon (Silvi's Husband) & their team more. I contacted SweetFire Photography prior to booking and we set up a Zoom meeting with Silvi. We knew immediately after we had to book her and her team. She has such a fun personality, and we knew she would do a wonderful job. The whole experience from start to finish was seamless and easy. Her communication was fantastic prior to the wedding through getting our photos and videos back. On the day of the wedding, everyone showed up on time and ready to get to capture our day. They were so much fun to work with. Silva specifically helped keep everyone on track and made sure we got the photos we wanted. The team did an excellent job making all of us feel comfortable. Our photos and video turned out AMAZING. Not only did they capture us, our families, but they managed to capture so many of our guests having a great time. I am so thankful for the memories they were able to capture that we will have forever. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! You won't be disappointed. read more

We had a wonderful time with Silvi and her husband during our family photoshoot in Play Del Carmen. I contacted 3 professional photographers in the area and decided to go with Sweet Fire Photography because they were the most professional in responding to all my messages and they had a good body of work. We are a family of 12 (ages 8 to 85) and they gave equal amount of time to capture beautiful images of all of us (groups and some solo shots). There's a questionnaire I filled out prior to the photoshoot and all of my concerns regarding posing, composition and photo editing was acknowledged and executed by Silvi. We are all very happy with the results and we even received more edited photos than we anticipated. I highly recommend Silvi and her company for their professional photography work. A big thank you to Silvi and her husband for providing us such amazing photos to look back on of our family vacation for many years to come. read more

Where do I begin!? Silvi and her team were THE BEST wedding vendors we worked with. They were absolute perfection. We met Silvi a year before our wedding. She & her husband captured out engagement photos. Right then and there we knew we wanted her to be our wedding photographer. Silvi's energy is unmatched. She & her husband made us feel comfortable from the beginning and they were so much fun. We knew photography and videography were the most important vendors for our wedding and they did not disappoint. We are beyond happy about our wedding pictures and videos. Our guests raved about Silvi and her team and how amazing they were throughout the wedding capturing all the special moments and how fun and humble they were. Silvi will be the photographer we want to capture all of special moments. We highly recommend Silvi and her team to capture any special moments....Thank you SIlvi, we cannot wait to work with you again! read more

From beginning to end working with Sweet Fire Photography was a great experience. I started working with Silvi long before being able to start actual planning for my destination wedding and she was so helpful for getting me prepared for my initial meetings with the staff at the resort. She was sure to check in periodically up until it was time for more serious planning and was always so energetic and reassuring, which is a relief with all the other wedding stressors. I lucked up and had her husband as my lead photographer and he did not disappoint. Lincoln kept us all on track and captured my husband and I in our true essence which I loved. The best part is it didn't take them long to return our pictures which is what most brides I hear complain about. We had sneak peaks less than a week after and final photos and videos within 2 months. Don't hesitate to book with them. You will be in good hands! read more

I could not be happier with the photography and video from Sweet Fire Photography!! My husband and I had a destination wedding in Playa Mujeres on May 16, 2019 and were weary about hiring an outside vendor to take our pictures. I decided on Sweet Fire and am SO happy I chose them!! The team showed up on time and ready to get to work! From the moment they stepped into my bridal suite they were on their game! They truly have a vision and eye for all things photography! We have some of the best pictures from our wedding and all are beautifully captured! We got our teaser pictures within 2 weeks of our wedding and am eagerly waiting for the rest. I know they will be just as awesome as the teasers are! Thank you so much for your amazing photography work, patience and guidance on our wedding day and your quick and diligent work to get our pictures to us! Cheers!! -Kara and Cody Faldyn read more

I wanted to surprise my wife with a photographer and videographer for our Vow Renewals in Mexico as we never had one for our wedding day. I found Silvi on Google and I am so happy that I did. There are truly not enough words that can describe how absolutely amazing Silvi and Lincoln were. Before we even arrived in Mexico, Silvi was always in communication with me to make sure everything was running smoothly. On the day of the Vow Renewal, Silvi and Lincoln made the whole experience so special and seamless. To top it off, the quality of their photos and video pretty much left my wife and I speechless. Til this day, we are constantly reminded by friends and family how great the video was. Silvi and Lincoln thank you so much from the bottom of hearts for such a wonderful and forever memorable experience and thank you for capturing such an important day of our lives. read more

I can't say enough GREAT things about Silvi & Sweetfire Photography. My family of 17 met in Tulum for a family reunion vacation and booked Silvi for a family photo session. She was super informative before the session with lots of information and a very thorough questionnaire. The day of the session she was very communicative and helped with organization. EVERYONE in my family had a great time during the session (when we've done them in the past it's been tense and frustrating), Silvi handled everyone's personalities with ease and joy. She did so great with posing everyone in a variety of poses, and making sure we got all of the groupings that we wanted, including everyone from Grandparents to Grandkids. I would definitely recommend Silvi & Sweetfire Photography for anyone looking for bright, focused, beautifully posed photographs and wonderful keepsake memories! read more

From the moment we met Silvi and her husband Lincoln, we were certain they would be our wedding photographers. We received a recommendation from our wedding planner suggesting they were truly some of the best photographers in Riviera Maya, and he was right! Lovely people, and with exceptional talent. We booked their 8-hour photo and video package and have been thrilled with the result. Their team really flawlessly captured the entire wedding day (from family portraits, to our dog running down the aisle as ring-bearer, to dancing and fireworks) while always seemingly blending into the background. The drone and video footage also exceeded our expectations! The wedding day flies by for the wedding couple... we couldn't be happier to have everything Silvi put together to remember the best of times on our wedding day! read more

We are absolutely thrilled with our wedding photos and videos! From the moment we booked with Silvy, she was professional, responsive, and truly passionate about capturing our special day. The Sweetfire team made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera, and their attention to detail was incredible. Every moment--from the big, emotional highlights to the small, candid in-between shots--was beautifully captured. The final photos and videos arrived on time and exceeded our expectations, and we will cherish them forever. I even asked for a few changes and Silvy didn't hesitate and was so kind to do them and give us more photos than we were contracted for. If you're looking for a wedding photographer near Cancun who is not only talented but also a joy to work with, we highly recommend Silvy and the Sweetfire team! read more

Silvina was so easy to work with from day 1. Communication was clear and questions were answered promptly. On the day of the wedding, Silvina and her colleague arrived early and worked so hard for the duration, capturing getting ready shots, ceremony, friends and family formals and newlyweds. Her direction was clear and she made us feel at ease. Her fees were very purse friendly! She produced a short film of sneak peeks that we were able to use at our reception, and then the rest of the package arrived 8 weeks later as promised. All in all, a 5 star service and we would highly recommend. Thank you to Silvina and her colleague for making our day special and giving us lovely memories in the fantastic photos she produced that we can look back on for many years. read more

We hired Silvi and her team for our wedding this October and it was the best decision we could have made! The photos were absolutely beautiful and the video is a great way to remember the day. Planning a destination was no easy task for a type A person, but Silvi and her team made the process so much easier and took some of the stress off my plate. Her team was also top notch. Wendy made sure all the small details were in place and had a calming aura that put me at ease when I was having day-of jitters. Lincoln matched and carried the high energy of our wedding. It was the best day ever and we are so grateful for their contribution to it. I highly recommend SweetFire photography for any photography and videography needs. Thank you Silvi, Lincoln and Wendy read more
