PHOTOGRAPHER  | View Folio HERE

Vincent is the first associate photographer for del Sol photography

His motivation behind the camera comes from the joy of interacting with people in ordinary circumstances and observing life as it happens.  His passion for traveling and new experiences landed him in Playa del Carmen Mexico in 2006.  Originally from France, he worked several years studying photography and exploring his love for watching and photographing life.  He has a fun and charming personality and always brings positive energy to his experiences.  Vincent has also managed to learn to speak English, Spanish, and if you’re lucky, you can hear him speak French, all in the same sentence!

Vincent also owns and runs a portrait photography company operating his offices inside an Inclusive resort nearby to Playa del Carmen.  He manages 5 employees and a staff of photographers and interns that cycle in and out of the photography program.    His creative team specializes in creative candid lifestyle photography.     Through this experience, he has further crafted his ability to interact with individuals, working with photo subject, training staff and keeping high expectations for exceptional quality delivery.

His clients should expect him to document their event photo-journalistically as the primary photographer.  It is likely he will work with an assistant on the day of the wedding to deliver a portfolio of images to the del Sol studio.   These images will then go through a proprietary process of selection and edition, which completes the total del experience. 

Photo Editor / Assistant Photographer

Originally from Merida Mexico, he moved to Playa del Carmen in pursuit of his artistic freedom.  

Nicknamed "Radrigo" he is one of the most awesome amigos del Sol has!   When he isn't serving as a sherpa toting gear, he is shooting away as a 2nd photographer.   His primary role for del Sol is overseeing digital archiving and photo editing.

Rodrigo is currently accepting commissions for sessions that take place in Playa del Carmen Only.  He shoots Engagement sessions, honeymooner sessions, portrait sessions and the trash the dress beach session.

His hobbies and interests include working out, swimming and exercise, kite surfing and enjoying the beach life in the Riviera Maya.  Rodrigo is an entrepreneur and a dreamer and he LOVES to read.  He also is a cat person.  

Graphic Designer | Atlanta Production Manager | Photographer

Cathi is our album designer and post production manager in Atlanta Georgia.  She has been chasing the photography dream which led her to team del Sol.  She manages the final delivery of all del Sol Products, including album designs, digital negative shipment, print orders and just about everything that happens with sales after the wedding.

She received her photographic training from the Art Institute of Ft. Lauderdale and working as a photographer in Miami for a few wedding seasons.  Cathi is a 2nd shooter for del Sol photography.  She has an impressive gear list and she knows how to use it to help our folios grow even more dynamic.  

Cathi is a comic club junkie and enjoys hiking and hanging out her amigas!  She also have 2 small puppies that bring lots of love to her heart.

Studio Manager

Melissa is the newest member of the del Sol team.   We are stoked to have her as our new studio manager.   She manages the day to day operations of del Sol photography including sales, production, and equipment.   Her role is crucial to the mission statement of del Sol and the entire team.  

Melissa is also a photographer and a fine artist.  She is a graduate of the Art Institue of Colorado at Denver and has spent the last 10+ years of her life dedicated to the photography industry.   As a former Apple Genius (we use Macs at del Sol) and a technical magician when it comes to the nuts and bolts of the photography operation, we hope to help her continue on the path of being the fine tuned Swiss Army knife that she already is.

Her propensity for all things adventurous and new has brought her to Playa del Carmen.  Her passion for life and photography will hopefully keep her here for many moons to come.

 

Photo Editor

Del Sol welcomes Chesira Pizzini to the team. 

Chesira is originally from La Paz in the Baja Peninsula and moved to the Playa del Carmen in 2003.  She lives here with her husband and new baby boy, Eliu.   Eliu is turning 12 months old soon and is her other "full time job" these days.

She studied photography in Escuela Activa de fotografia in Queretaro Mexico.  Her skills and passions started behind the camera and progressed further into the digital darkroom where she now spends most of her time editing and creating fine art behind the scenes.

She wants to give special thanks to her Grandfather Leopoldo Pizzini who inspired her from when she was 5 years old.  His passion behind the camera motivated her to pursue a career in this art of documenting and remembering life experiences.  

Chesira loves to travel to exotic places, listen to amazing music and to dance in the rain!
