The BEST !! He took engagement photos for us and he did an amazing job! I’m into photography myself so I will admit I have high standard when it comes to pictures and he really did great- All the angles etc were perfect too! Highly recommend
Carlos made the renewal of our VOW in New York City in May 2023 an unforgettable moment. We, a couple from The Netherlands, booked him online because of his good reviews and can due to our own experience confirm: he is a real professional, he is the best and all good reviews are more than true. Thank you Carlos for the wonderful time you spent with us.
We hired Carlos for our pre wedding couple photoshoot in NYC. He is an amazing photographer. He was punctual, professional, and very thorough! He was very well prepared, for eg- he brought a mirror, hair spray, lint roller etc for last minute touches before the photo shoot. We had booked him for 1 hour, and he provided services for the whole hour by taking us to different locations. He gave us some pose suggestions and also captured candid moments. I loved his work. He shared all the pictures with us in a timely manner. He provided retouches to the images requested by us, and the change was very positively evident. I would definitely hire him for future events.
Carlos did our proposal photoshoot and did a fantastic job.
We used Carlos for our engagement photoshoot in Central Park to get photos for our save the dates and website.
He was not only professional and accommodating, but fun to work with. Not to mention the photos were amazing!
We personally had to reschedule our photoshoot a couple of times, and he was really understanding and flexible.
We really liked his style, and he clearly knows his NYC spots; came super prepared for the shoot with a lot of great places and fun poses to try. He also was mindful of what we were specifically using the photos for, and set them up accordingly. Everything was so easy and we had a great time.
Carlos was absolutely amazing in shooting and creating my whole photoshoot. He added unique poses that suits the occasion and personalities. I totally recommend him for all your proposal needs. He did a great job.
Carlos is incredible to work with! He made our day truly special. He made us feel very comfortable and the pictures were so beautiful. Carlos has an eye to capture the moments! Originally he did our engagement photos and we were amazed when he sent us the photos. We asked him to fly to Florida for our reception and he agreed. He's very flexible, he's a dream photographer and we are glad he did our wedding!
Carlos did a fantastic job with our photos!! He knew all of the right places to go, and moved us through in the right amount of time, which was appreciated for a brisk day. I would hire Carlos again in a heartbeat!
Carlos did an incredible job on our engagement and wedding photos! He always goes above & beyond for his clients! Highly recommend him for any event!
Carlos did a fantastic job at my daughters engagement in New York's Central Park! He was sooo good we used him for the wedding also! Carlos is amazing and very thoughtful. I would highly recommend him.
We absolutely loved working with Carlos. He was extremely professional, accessible and just utterly awesome. He was able to capture our vision for our Save the Date and invitations for our wedding. We enjoyed his humor and his ability to make us feel so comfortable for our photoshoot. His prices are extremely affordable and his quality of picture was outstanding. We were impressed with our photos prior to any retouches that is how good he is. I would recommend Carlos anytime and will continue to use his services.
I’m from Texas and had my engagement photos shot in NYC by Carlos. He was awesome! Definitely a professional! I am over the moon with how our photos came out!
My fiancé and sister hired Carlos for our engagement. He was so wonderful to work with, giving us clear directions and helping come up with a variety of poses. After the shoot, he got the photos back to us within 24 hours which was incredible! He perfectly captured the day, and we would love to work with him again.
Carlos is amazing!! He did our engagement photos back in 2019 and we had him do surprise proposal photos for my sister recently. We have loved working with him. He is kind, timely, responsive, and does such a great job with the pictures. We would highly recommend him to anyone looking for photos and already look forward to working with him again at other life stages.
Absolute professional and very humble!! Not knowing what to truly expect going in, we were a little rigid at first. Carlos worked quickly to make us feel comfortable. Each location we stopped at, he had some amazing ideas on how we should interact and pose, but also worked with us to fit our vision of how our pictures could look without pushing his own. We were able to stop by our apartment to change quickly and we asked him to take pictures of our cat with us... They turned out AMAZING. Such a memorable and momentous day that Carlos made a reality.
Carlos is absolutely amazing! He is very professional, responsive, approachable, and creative. He has such a great eye, and he really works overtime to ensure that you receive a lot of variety from his photography sessions. He went above and beyond to guarantee that we were pleased with the variety of background locations, poses, etc. I 100% recommend Carlos and his services! We have hundreds of amazing pictures from his shoot, and his retouched final products are better than we could have ever imagine. Book Carlos ASAP!
Prior to booking carlos for my engagement shoot, I read every review that was posted about his professionalism and his overall aura. I have to say he is worth more than 5 stars. He has an eye for timeless photos and I couldn’t have been any happier.
Carlos is amazing patient kind and very respectful. He delivers what you ask for and even more. His work is amazing and you won’t regret it for a second. I definitely recommend him.
Carlos was an absolutely amazing professional photographer. He arrives ahead of time so you do not have to wait for him. He knows exactly what he is going and has an eye for the perfect shot. My fiancé and I were so happy with our engagement photos and can not wait for Carlos to shoot our wedding day!
Carlos is a great professional photographer! I was referred to him by a friend of mine and he took lots of beautiful pictures of my engagement party. He knows what he does! He showed up ahead of time, planned accordingly to be part of the surprise party, took lots of good quality pictures, shared the photos in 24 hours, and the fees were great. I highly recommend him :)
Carlos was amazing to work with for my surprise engagement at Central Park! He worked with me and my fiancé's cousin ahead of time to plan out exactly where to go and scout potential areas to pop the question. On the day, he was punctual, professional, and personable. He was there to capture the moment with stunning pictures and beautiful clarity. We then spent the next hour visiting different sites in Central Park and taking more pictures together. It was a phenomenal experience, so if you're planning an event with a photographer in the NY area, don't look any further! Carlos is the best!
P.S. Yes, she was surprised!
Hi! We are so happy with our experience with Carlos! He knew all of the best spots to go in BK bridge park and got us the photos back super quickly. We would highly recommend Carlos to others looking for an engagement photo shoot in NYC.
My fiance and I used Carlos for our engagement shoot in Central Park and we couldn't be happier with the interactions with Carlos & how the photos came out! He was super professional leading up to the shoot and answered any of our questions in a timely manner. Then, on the day of the shoot, he had the best spots to take pictures and was great with working with us to incorporate some of our own ideas, as well. He made us both feel comfortable, as we were worried we would be a little awkward taking photos at first. Very happy with our experience and would definitely recommend Carlos!
great energy, made the whole engagement shoot a fun experience. pictures are of great quality and Carlos meets the deadlines he sets to get you his finished product
Hi!!!
We are writing another review because my husband and I liked Carlos so much we hired him for the photography of our vow renewals at Glen Island Harbor Club in New Rochelle, NY. He and his partner were extremely professional the entire time. Carlos took the time to meet with us prior to the event. He was always ready to answer our questions and went out of his way to assign extra hours prior to the ceremony because we could not make our engagement photo session. There were many photos to select from and the guests were very happy with his interaction. Our videographer also worked very well with him. We would recommend Carlos and his partner for a future event. Our first event was about 25 people and the second had about 200 people with a very tight schedule that Carlos and his partner was able to accommodate generously.
This was our 5-star review from last year:
We found Carlos on Groupon and he worked with us to tailor to what we needed for our wedding day on very short notice. Carlos photographed our first look, Ceremony and family/friends portraits. Very professional, easy to work with, organized and delivered the negatives to us very quickly. Exceeded our expectations and the ten touched up images came out great- very detailed. Thanks, Carlos!
Carlos and his team are amazing. They were with me through the whole process of planning what shots I wanted. He captured everyone. No one felt left out. You will always reach someone when you call. His photos are flawless. He captures the very best of what he shoots. Hes very professional but is funny, makes you feel at home. He keeps in touch with you through the editing process. Every thing is done beautifully. I still look at the book I ordered. I love all my photos. Especially the candid ones. I love watching his work pop up on Facebook and Instagram. Highly recommended.
Carlos is a great photographer, he captured every special moment at our wedding perfectly and beautifully. He did not miss any moment. We have so many amazing photos to look back at and remember each part of our wedding. He was always very professional and very efficient. The photos came back to us very quickly and with great quality. I would definitely recommend Carlos to anyone!
