Carlos Alvarado Photography

otographers when my fiance and I booked our wedding venue and finalized a date. Carlos was a breeze from the first contact. We set up a phone call with him and he was responsive, knowledgeable, and personable. I liked his portfolio online and we booked with him and I have to say from the bottom of my heart, he was the absolute best wedding photographer I could ever imagine. Because he was such a breeze to work/communicate with leading up to the wedding, we ended up booking videography through him as well. And again, our photo/video team knocked it out of the park. Carlos understood our vision immediately. He took the time to understand what was important to us and to our story. We only got married less than a week ago, but I can say with absolute certainty that Carlos Alvarado Photography is the best in the game. My favorite thing he told us is that the wedding does not start at the ceremony, it starts from the moment you wake up. And every moment throughout the day should be a memory, it should never feel like work. And boy was he right. With Carlos, going through our shot list never felt like work. He never interrupted moments, he didn't force shots, and he captured our true, authentic selves, providing guidance and direction only when needed. He was so fun with our families and our wedding party, and judging from our sneak peeks (both for photo and video), he completely killed it. If you are looking for a photo/video team that is responsive, skilled, knowledgeable, and personable, hire this man ASAP. Thank you Carlos for everything. Thanks to you, we have the most stunning photos of all our favorite moments from the best day of our lives. :)

t, but you would never know it from the photos—each shot was a masterpiece, capturing the love and joy of the day perfectly. Carlos’s eye for detail and creativity turned what could have been a challenging day into a collection of the most stunning and timeless photos. What really stood out was the kindness and professionalism of Carlos and his team. They were not just photographers, but true partners in making our day special. At one point, when I was shivering from the cold, Carlos’s assistant literally gave me her jacket—talk about going above and beyond! We had the best time taking pictures with our large wedding party and family. Carlos made sure to capture every shot and was so organized considering the crazy amount of people in our party. He and his team captured beautiful portraits and fun personality shots as well. And the fun didn’t stop there. At the end of the night, we had the most amazing photo shoot outside the venue. Carlos had us run and had my husband pick me up and spin me around, which led to some of our favorite candid shots. It was such a blast and the perfect way to end our celebration! My husband and I couldn’t be happier that we chose Carlos. His photography is truly a work of art, and we are beyond excited to have these beautiful memories to look back on for years to come. If you’re looking for a photographer who is not only incredibly talented but also makes the entire experience fun and memorable, look no further than Carlos!

icking our top to print because we love them all. His ability to capture "the moment" with insane composition and artistry is truly amazing. THANK YOU for capturing our day so perfectly!

his high attention to detail immediately caught my attention. From our first call, I knew he was someone I felt comfortable enough to spend the entire day shooting myself and my now husband. Our engagement session with Carlos allowed us to get a feel for how he works and practice getting acquainted with the camera in preparation for the wedding. Carlos and his team were ON IT the entire day. Even though I was stressed about our short getting ready timelines, he put me at ease by ensuring we captured everything I truly wanted. I cried when I received my highlight photos (patiently awaiting my video!). Worth every single penny. Book him!!!
