First of all I just wanted to start with how amazing Rafael was. He makes this process so easy, and super seamless he also has an open communicate skills. We went to Rosarito for small getaway. But my mom wanted to make memories out of this. I live in Texas so I have no idea of any photographer in the area, or how do I even begin. So I went to Yelp and search for a photographer. Rafael was quick to respond to my message. I think it was about 20mnts after I messaged him. He was very friendly from the beginning. And so flexible. We have a lot of voices and want. Lots of opinions. But with every request coming to him all he said was "don't worry I got you guys" which is very assuring. He came in 30 minutes early. And he is seriously AWESOME!!!! He waited for us, told us to take our time to get ready and when we are then we'll take the pictures. Mind you we have 2infants under 1, 1toddler (2years old) 1 teenager that does not smile lol and 8 adults! It's always chaos when we are trying to do anything but... Rafael was very very calm. The way he took our pictures also. Very seamless, and very relaxed. We have done a couple professional pictures and always feel like we are in a hurry with timing because the photographer always has been super strict w their timing. But not one time Rafael made us feel like that at all. The turn around was also very quick. He told us 10days which is expected. And he actually was ready within 3days. Pictures turned out amazing. Definitely will contact him again if we go down there next year. read more

We were so honored to have had Rafael fly out to do photograph our wedding in Hawaii. Because he did such an amazing job for my daughter's wedding last year 2023, we couldn't pass on him capturing our special day. He is professional, kind, patient and is so easy to work with. He is so flexible as well and even helped me pick up my flowers when we were in a bind. Our family loves Rafael and all the beautiful memories and essence of love and happiness he has captured for us. These memories are priceless and we are so glad we have them forever! Thank you Rafael!! Stephanie and Tyler read more

Rafael was so professional. He has a lovely, warm personality and made us feel very comfortable and at ease. He captured the beauty of intimate moments while keeping simplicity and not over staging. We love how he captured the natural beauty of the landscape and its wide range of color and texture without overpowering the sweetness of those special moments. Thank you so much Rafael! read more

From the start, Rafael was prompt and clear with communication. Truly smooth experience leading up to the photo session and meeting him in person was even better. He identified the perfect location for us, and made the whole process so comfortable. We took my MIL to Valle/Rosarito for the weekend and surprised her with a family session on the beach. It was 4 adults and 3 children ranging from 2.5 to 7 years, and Rafael wrangled it all together to get some great photos we'll cherish forever. Fair pricing as well! read more

Save yourself the heartache of crappy photos and no guidance or preparation. I get so sad looking at my wedding pictures. Not happy with the quality of the pictures and if you want certain pics with all your family make sure to tell him because he won't suggest or encourage timeless shots or even tell you to move so the sun isn't on half of your face. You can see in the pics people upload here (even with 5 stars) the pics are blurry and not edited at all. read more

I will have beautiful memories and photos forever of my family - thanks to Rafael. He was incredibly responsive and easy to communicate with. He showed up and was very professional and easygoing. He did an amazing job at getting the attention of my 2 year old and finding new angles and places to try different posing. We started off not knowing what to do with some ideas of what we wanted and he quickly stepped in to coordinate shots and try different things. He stayed a little later than expected and got the photos to us within 48 hours. We really appreciated his professionalism, direction and OF COURSE! the end result and memories we will have for a lifetime. I can't recommend him enough if you happen to be in the Ensenada/Valle area of Baja. He also speaks great English and Spanish, so we were able to communicate with him in both languages with ease. Thanks for everything, Rafael! read more

Rafael was very professional from the beginning in communication via email to in person. I had plan a cruise and wanted beach photos with my boyfriend. He was amazing and he made us feel so comfortable. He droves us from the port to the beach. Rafa fue tan amable y profesional! Lo recomiendo mucho. Nos hizo sentir muy cómodos y su comunicación fue siempre rápida. Gracias Rafael read more

Rafael Photographer - Loved every single image! - Event Photography Near Me - Ensenada, BCN

We live in Southern California and had a destination wedding in Valle de Guadalupe. Our wedding planner brought Rafael on board for our wedding and we could not be happier with the selection! Rafael is friendly, professional and extremely talented. We went out before the wedding to do a pre-wedding shoot to get to know him and get comfortable in front of the camera before our big day. We absolutely loved both our pre-wedding and wedding shoot pictures. Thank you Rafael! read more

Rafael and his team were also a big help in keeping us on schedule following our rough timeline...wasn't part of their job description but very helpful XD Thank you Rafael! read more

Wow! Rafael was incredibly flexible, patient, and humble. He took our engagement photos on very short notice in Ensenada. I wanted to propose to my fiancé on our 4th anniversary as a secret so I asked Rafa to pretend that we were doing a "business photoshoot" for my fiancé's website and he was on board right away. He was an incredible actor and played along until our last outfit. He told her to turn towards the sunset and then I got on one knee and held out the ring. She turned around and was filled with emotion as Rafa took all the candids he could. His assistant even took a beautiful video of us. We were blown away by his ability to capture our greatest moments and those moments were fleeting so you know he has fast fingers! We never felt rushed by him, we took our time and he gave us amazing posing suggestions. The photos were sublime! I highly recommend working with Rafael! read more

Muy profesional, puntual, and very helpful! Ademas, me encanto como salieron las fotos. Super recomendado!

Rafael is an incredible photographer with so much professionalism. He makes you feel comfortable and at ease to be yourself while capturing such authentic moments. My partner and I contacted him for a pregnancy announcement photoshoot and he was prompt with his responses and communication. Moreover, upon meeting him, he was kind enough to get to know a little more about ourselves and created a friendly atmosphere before taking our pictures. Also, he was open to suggesting beautiful places to have our photo session at. I loved all of our pictures. They were beautifully captured and so authentic. My partner does not usually feel comfortable taking pictures but he said Rafael made him feel super comfortable to be himself and capture the beautiful moments. I highly recommend his service. You will not be disappointed. I, myself, can't wait to book him for more family sessions and wedding. Thank you, Rafael. read more

Rafael is an incredible photographer and an absolute delight to work with for our engagement photos! He is extremely professional and friendly, made my fiancé and me very comfortable and relaxed in the shoot. He even picked up spray sunblock before arriving on set because the sun was blazing and I didn't want to get burned but was busy getting ready with my hair and makeup. My hero! He really gets the finer details and kept reminding me to straighten my necklace and helped me pose in ways to manage all of my hair in the wind! Thank you Rafael for being so generous and making our special day so memorable by beautifully capturing our love for us to reflect on for years to come. We would love to work with you again and again!! read more
