Process
1. Initial Consultation
We begin with a complimentary consultation to understand your vision for your wedding — the location you're considering, the feeling you hope to capture, any specific moments that matter to you. This conversation allows us to provide guidance on timing, locations, and logistics.
2. Securing Your Date
A 40% non-refundable retainer reserves your wedding date, with the balance due 15 days prior. In the event your wedding needs to be rescheduled, we accommodate moving to a mutually agreed-upon alternative date. Payments accepted via credit card or local bank deposit.
3. Planning Support
Throughout your planning process, you maintain direct access for questions and guidance. We can assist with location recommendations, timing suggestions based on light and tide schedules, and coordination with officiants or other vendors you may be working with.
4. Your Wedding Day
You're in good hands. We arrive with time to assess the location and light, then guide you through your ceremony and portraits—communicating and moving gracefully with you and your vendors so you never have to wonder where to be or what to do.
5. Curation & Editing
Your images undergo careful curation and editing — a process that typically requires 4 weeks. Our team approaches each photograph with attention to color accuracy, tonal consistency, and timeless quality.
6. Delivery
Your complete collection arrives via elegant online gallery where you can view, share, and download your images. Within 1–2 days, you receive a sneak peek preview of select photographs to share with family and friends while your complete gallery is being perfected.

About Leonardo
LMP Studios is led by Leonardo Melendez. He is a Belize based photographer specializing in weddings and portrait photography. A dedicated practitioner of the photographic arts, Leonardo has quietly honed his craft since 2006, forgoing formal education and the confines of textbooks. With a delicate balance of light, composition, and digital finesse, his work embraces subtlety and an understated aesthetic.
What makes an event truly special is that it happens only once. For this reason, and to avoid any disappointments, I recommend that couples hire the best photographer they can.
