I am so glad I hired Adam for my surprise proposal to my girlfriend. Living in SoCal and having…read morenever been to Monterey/Big Sur, I planned my whole proposal based on google searches, reddit threads, and word of mouth. Being a Big Sur/Monterey local, Adam provided extremely helpful insight and feedback for my proposal. He definitely helped relieve a lot of the stress during the planning phase of my proposal. On the day of the actual shoot, the day-of jitters was overwhelming at times, but Adam's energy and demeanor was very centering. He was patient and gave my new fiancee and I space to calm ourselves, and also knew when to take charge and guide us with our poses. He also had amazing and creative ideas for how to pose and brought us to local, reclusive spots to take intimate photos. Best of all, Adam always had a smile on his face and he made us really think like we were supermodels walking the runway haha. If you're going to do any photoshoot, especially a proposal or engagement shoot, in the Big Sur/Monterey area, I would highly recommend getting Adam!!

I was referred to Adam through another photographer who unfortunately could no longer capture my…read moreengagement due to a last minute date change caused by rainy weather. From the get go, Adam was incredibly personable, communicative, and had great recommendations on proposal spots and tips on how to propose. We came up with a plan to propose at a secluded cliff and a surprise picnic at the beach afterwards. Adam was more than happy to coordinate with Dreamy Events by Ev and even suggested to push the proposal a bit earlier to accommodate for driving time in order to give us one full hour for photos! Adam delivered our sneak peaks and full album photos in a timely manner. Let me tell you, the photos came out AMAZING and we are so glad to have found him!!! Adam was incredible to work with and we would 100% recommend him to anybody looking for a photographer in the Carmel/Monterrey area.

Letty thank you for some amazing family photos!…read more With very small kids, a nice family photo shoot felt daunting to me. Letty was so easy to work with, and so helpful in planning every step of the way. She even provides great guidance on what to wear. Her contract and payment process is virtual and convenient and very easy to navigate. The digitals were available to us quickly and easy to download and enjoy. Honestly, I wasn't even sure about what type of pictures and combinations of family photos I wanted; but Letty was flexible and creative and helped us come up with great poses and ideas. She is also adventurous enough to try beautiful on-site locations. My daughter especially had a great time. All in all, the outcome was memorable once-in-a-lifetime photos that I will always cherish.

My experience with Ronnie Esparza Photography was downright unacceptable. During my daughter's team…read morevolleyball photoshoot, she had an individual picture taken while still wearing her sunglasses. My wife immediately noticed and politely asked Ronnie to take a quick retake once she removed them. Before my daughter could remove them, he snapped another shot and flat-out refused to take another one--claiming he only took two shots per kid. The issue? My wife personally watched him retake photos for several other girls moments later. That kind of inconsistency is unfair and unprofessional. If he's going to enforce rules, they should apply to everyone, not selectively! While he did issue a refund, that does nothing to make up for my daughter missing out on a proper photo to remember her season. Sports photos are supposed to be meaningful keepsakes, but his dismissive attitude made the entire experience feel rushed and impersonal. It would have taken him seconds to retake the picture and show even the slightest care for his work or his clients but he didn't. Ronnie Esparza Photography clearly lacks basic customer service skills and fairness. I won't be using his services in the future, and I strongly advise others to look elsewhere if you value professionalism and respect.

Once you begin talking to him you realize how passionate and knowledgeable he is about photography but also his passion for life. On the day of the wedding, him and his team came in told us briefly what they were going to do and from there took care of everything! I couldn't have asked for anything more.

We had a lot of family come in for the surprise and she was extremely professional with guiding all of them as well. As for the shoot itself, Lorinda captured our memorable moment with some stunning images.
