Lead Photographer, SNAP IN CANCUN
Jihwan Ryu (Eddie)
Hi, I'm Eddie (Jihwan Ryu), the lead photographer of SNAP IN CANCUN. I've been a photographer for 15 years, and I lived in Cancun from 2017 to 2020, running a wedding photography and travel business. From 2018 to 2020 I worked in Cancun as a fully licensed photographer.
Living there taught me exactly when the sun rises, when the water looks its bluest and which beaches stay quiet. I bring that local knowledge to every honeymoon, family, wedding and anniversary session.
Today I run a photo studio in Korea (Studio [mug:um]) and partner with D-travel, a travel agency specializing in Mexico, coming back to Cancun every season. My camera gear has also been significantly upgraded.
I especially love anniversary and vow-renewal sessions for couples of our parents' generation, and the beauty that only years together can create.
