First of all I just wanted to start with how amazing Rafael was. He makes this process so easy, and…read moresuper 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.

We were so honored to have had Rafael fly out to do photograph our wedding in Hawaii. Because he…read moredid 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

Valerie is a phenomenally outstanding photographer! We just had our wedding this past Saturday, so…read morewe haven't even gotten our photos back yet but we are just so happy with our experiences with Valerie that we had to post a review now! (Will post update and some photos from our wedding once available -- which I am confident will be amazing since we loved our engagement photos -- will post some of our engagement photos for now!) First of all, Valerie is one of the most genuine vendors that we worked with for our wedding. Her services are reasonably priced while still offering a superb, quality service and product. All our interactions with her made us feel like she was genuinely excited for our big day and wanted to make it special for us. Valerie was definitely one of our favorite vendors that we worked with for our wedding! Secondly, Valerie's personality really helped us shine and feel comfortable in our photos even for 2 camera-shy people. Even all the guests at our wedding raved about how much they loved her! She's friendly, engaging, helpful with posing, professional, and efficient! We are SO happy that we found Valerie after searching through hundreds (literally hundreds of photographers in San Diego) -- we really lucked out in finding her and highly recommend her to any other couple in the search for wedding photographer or any photographer services for that matter!

Valerie has this special skill where the more I look at the photos she took for our engagement and…read morewedding, the more I love it. We are really happy with how our photos turned out. Valerie is also very witty and has a style of humor where she's super quirky, but in a good way that makes you feel less shy and self conscious when you're taking photos and more willing to express your true self during the photoshoot. Her rate is also incredibly reasonable and competitive! Besides being an awesome photographer, Valerie is also really great in helping you with bridesmaid tasks during the wedding. This includes helping you with bustling your dress, carrying your gown train around, securing your veil to the back of your head, or pining boutonnières on for your parents/wedding party members. I was especially grateful for her in doing all the boutonnière pinnings as I had no idea how to do that and definitely did not want the added stress of trying to figure it out on the day of. One tip that I suggest when taking your engagement or wedding photos is to have some ideas of poses you want or have a list of the specific sites you want to take pictures at your wedding venue. I regret not doing this as, after the wedding, we realized there were a couple places we wish we had taken more photos at. Additionally, our wedding photos had many similar poses sprinkled throughout and I wish I had researched/looked at more wedding photos in general to get ideas of what other poses we could've done. However, considering how much details are involved in weddings, these are sort of just "cherry on the top" stuff which would've been nice to have but aren't deal breakers. Valerie will definitely not miss any defining wedding moments for you. You can rest assured that she will capture all your wedding highlights without fail!
