Client Testimonial: What Our Couples Say
MOLLY + JESEE
“Luis was absolutely wonderful to work with. He was very responsive to all my questions before and after signing our contract and all the way leading up to the wedding. He was so fun to work with on the day of and he knew exactly how to time everything to get all the photos we needed. The final products are stunning. We love all of photos and our videos so much. They capture the day perfectly. I would highly recommend Luis to anyone looking to book a wedding photographer. It was perfect experience beginning to end!.”
SASHA + LUCAS
“We had our wedding at Iberostar Cancun. When they provided their preferred vendor for videographer and photographer, we knew we had to look elsewhere. It was only 6 weeks until our wedding and we scrambled to find a quality company. Luis answered our query in a timely manner. He setup a zoom late in the evening to accommodate our schedules. I had seen some of his work on YouTube and knew it was the highest caliber. We moved quickly and locked down his services.
Luis and his team exceeded our expectations in every single way. They are the standouts from our entire wedding planning experience. They are so personable and easy to work with. They made us feel comfortable throughout the entire process. Their professional attitude was a breath of fresh air and I cannot express enough what a pleasure it was to have such a talented team to capture our wedding day.
I highly recommend working with them. You won't regret it!”
