From our engagement shoot, to our big day, Carlos did an amazing job, listening to what I (we) wanted. We've never had professional pictures taken before, and he definitely made us...
feel at ease and captured some great candid pictures. Both my mom and now mother in law were on the picky side, and he handled their requests very well. In my suite, I had quite the glam squad on our big day, and he was like a photog ninja. Our ceremony was gorgeous, and honestly, barely remember everything that went on. Carlos captured so many priceless moments. He captured perfect angles and lighting. I was very worried that we wouldn't be able to gather everyone needed for pictures afterwards. But he told me not to worry. Sure enough, the family members we couldn't track down for pictures, we had the chance to have a mini photo op right before the reception and throughout. From beginning to end, we knew exactly what was going on and what to expect.
Thank you so much for capturing such great shots!
My daughter and son-in-law hired Carlos as their wedding photographer. He took some truly beautiful photographs and even made them available to view on a slideshow during the recep...
tion! It was lovely for family and guests to be able to see those special moments unfold, especially since not everyone was able to be present for the ceremony. I would highly recommend Carlos!
The photos that Carlos took at our wedding were wonderful. He made me and my wife feel like the photography was taken care of so we can enjoy ourselves during the day. He wasn't in...
our faces at all, but still caught all the great moments that made our day special. Choosing him as our photographer was the best decision we could have made!
I picked Carlos to shoot my wedding because he had a strong photojournalism background, had beautiful photos on his website, had no time limitations, and was so nice and easy going...
during our consultation. He did not disappoint!!
He captured every moment and detail of our wedding day perfectly. At first I was a little concerned because the wedding day schedule didn't exactly go as planned, but Carlos was there the entire day and made me feel like everything was going to be OK. I didn't even notice he was there most of the time! The photos were up on his website just a few days after the wedding and they were gorgeous!
I would absolutely recommend him to any bride looking for an awesome wedding photographer at a reasonable price.
My daughter (the bride) hired Carlos after reviewing his portfolio. She also used him for a save the date mailer earlier in the year. She made a great choice. Carlos not only took ...
great pictures with great results, he moved seamlessly throughout the ceremony and reception getting the best shots.
Carlos did a great job for our wedding. He was like a fly on the wall and was not intrusive at all. He got all the shots we wanted and had great ideas of shots we would love. He...
stayed with us all day and shot in multiple locations. He was very professional and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a wedding photographer.
I could not be happier with Carlos and his work. His prices were extremely reasonable and the quality of his work was exceptional. I absolutely loved that he was able to capture th...
e memories of our day in such a candid way. I would recommend him to any bride & groom.
My husband and I were married 14 years ago and really didn't have money at the time to have great photos taken. This year we decided to renew our vows and take some great pics. I...
was a little nervous about choosing the right photographer. Carlos was great. We felt comfortable and he had a lot of great ideas. I am so glad we stumbled across his wedding photography page and would totally recommend him to everyone I know.
We were so pleased with each and every photo. They captured every detail of my daughter and son and law's special day. Years to come they can look back at the photos and relive eve...
ry wonderful moment. The photos are simply spectaular. But it was not just the outstanding photos that made the experience good. On the wedding day the bride and grooms kept changing their timelines. Carlos seemlessly maneuvered through all of the bride and groom changes without missing a beat, along with keeping me calm in along the way. I would highly recommend Carols.
I hired Carlos because I wanted a photographer that wouldn't get in everyone's face at the wedding.
He took our engagement photos, which I wasn't actually thrilled with- the po...
sed pictures from the engagement shoot he picked to send us weren't the best. But that wasn't an issue at the wedding. He got candid shots, which I loved because posed pictures don't really capture what I think the day was about.
He did so great with the ceremony, and the reception, though in the few posed pictures we took some of us weren't looking, or making a weird face.
The candids are the best. The composition and his ability to get the background and details were amazing. I was afraid the wedding pictures wouldn't be gorgeous because it was cloudy that day, but he made the whole thing look absolutely incredible.
He's not at all intrusive on intimate moments but he didn't miss them. And you'll get every detail from your venue. He took shots of our centerpieces, and the outside of the building, the desserts, and everyone getting ready, which I thought was awesome.
We had the package where you set up a monitor so people can see the photos of you getting ready. I didn't love the idea at first, but people really enjoyed it. We also got a big wedding album, which is absolutely beautiful, and a little one for the parents. All the pictures are online and he sends you a CD with them too.
He's also really nice, and his assistant was terrific too. I would recommend him to anyone, with one thing- if you want posed shots with family members, etc., you should set talk about them before the event, and make sure no one's eyes are closed and they're looking at the camera, etc. Candids are great and they're what I wanted, but at the wedding, I realized I wanted some posed photos and they're not the best.
I was really happy overall.
Carlos is truly a great a wedding photographer. He made me feel at ease ,relaxed while capturing each moment. Every picture Carlos took was great not one bad photo . He really cap...
tured the most beautiful moments. I feel every picture told a story in its self. I would highly recommend this talented photographer for any Bride and Groom who wants to truly capture their story in the most beautiful way. Thank you again Carlos for your amazing art and beautiful heart.
My wedding was on October 7, 2012 in Newport beach , Ca. Carlos from CD was the photographer on site and I was very pleased with his work . Very professional , but still fun . The ...
photo book was amazing and everything I could have wanted. Overall, great photos and very happy with performance .

moment. Very prepared and ready! Thanks Carlos!!

hing we were concerned about before the wedding. Carlos and his crew were fun and worked well together to capture our special day through amazing photos as well as great video. They even had a slideshow of all the getting ready and ceremony photos ready by the reception for our guests to see!
I would recommend Carlos to anyone I know who needs a creative and talented photograper who is great to work with.
Carlos was a true professional and always made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. The photos were beautiful and the album was perfect. He and his team captured all the imp...
ortant moments from every angle possible in a creative, story telling way. I hardly noticed him at all during the big day, and he made it incredibly easy and an absolute pleasure to do business with him.
I would recommend Carlos and CD Wedding Photography to anyone looking for quality wedding photos at a reasonable price.
My husband and I chose CD Wedding Photography for our engagement photos, wedding, and a family gathering. We selected CD Wedding Photography because we were immediately impressed ...
with the quality of Carlos' work. When we met Carlos in person, we instantly felt comfortable with him. We expressed our concern with feeling awkward/uncomfortable while taking photos, and he assured us that he will make us feel comfortable. He was right! Carlos is very easy to work with, and he helped us to feel comfortable during our photo sessions. In fact, during our wedding, there were times that I didn't even realize he was there. His ability to capture important memories without intervening was very impressive. It allowed us to enjoy our special day while still having amazing photos.
When we received our photo album, we were impressed with the quality of the photos and the album. We were really happy that our photos turned out so well, because for us, the photographs were crucial for capturing our memories.
I would recommend Carlos Delgado and CD Wedding Photography to anyone who wants a professional photographer who is easy to work with, flexible, and reasonably priced.
We approached Carlos to photograph our wedding and met with him to discuss our ideas. He was very friendly and worked with us to meet our requests and budget. He visited the venue ...
before the wedding to understand the layout, lighting, and best places to take some close-ups. His photos are very high quality, high resolution, sharp, vivid, professional-grade and was able to take many photos, some of them difficult, in a short period of time during the ceremony. He edited them well and quickly. He posted the photo gallery on his website within a few days after the ceremony while we were on our honeymoon! I definitely recommend Carlos and his team.
As any bride will find out, planning your wedding can be very stressful at times. Carlos was always very professional and patient with all of our questions. On the day of our wed...
ding, it was great to see him all over taking pictures at every angle. Even though the day went by in blur, I can look back at our beautiful wedding album and feel like I am there all over again. I always recommend Carlos to anyone that asks me.
My husband and I were very happy with our decision to use CD photography. Carlos was a lot of fun while also maintaining a level of professionalism. He was very flexible and work...
ed around our schedule as well. We felt that we got a lot for our money as the package included our engagement session, full wedding day and a beautiful album. If you are looking for a great wedding photographer we would recommend using Carlos.
Fantastic results, more then courteous, and a total professional. My wife couldn't have been happier. I couldn't recommend Carlos Delgado enough.
Carlos was AWESOME!!! Our photos turned out AMAZING, and both my wife and I couldnt have asked for anything more!! From the engagement shoot, to the wedding photos, Carlos saw be...
auty in our surroundings that really made the photos special. HIs creativity with the lighting and shooting from different angles turned our photos from ordinary to EXTRAordinary!!! Carlos made us both feel really comfortable during both shoots, and I think this comes through in the photos. He took the time to go to the places we were shooting before we got there, to really scope out the scene and plan out some really great shots. At our wedding Carlos was very personable, and proffesional, and really took control of the photo session, and knew exactly what he wanted us to do, and gave us great direction. At the reception, Carlos did an excellent job of capturing all the important moments naturally, as well as some really great candid shots. If I ever have a need for another photographer, I would absolutely not hesitate to hire Carlos again. The price was right, the pictures were amazing, and we couldnt have asked for anything more. THANKS CARLOS!!!
I hired Carlos because he had the hip, downtown artsy feel that I was looking for in a wedding photographer. He had great ideas for creative shots, but was also willing to get exce...
llent, posed family photos as well. He was right on time, reliable, and willing to get in there to get the shot at the ceremony and reception. Honestly, I hardly noticed him on my wedding day, but the pictures we received from him were breathtaking. I have had amazing feedback from family and friends, and the album we received was perfect. All of this was done with a very reasonable price for the package. I would highly recommend Carlos to anyone looking to get some fantastic shots of their special day!
Carlos is one of the easiest people you can work with! His kindness makes you feel so comfortable that you won't even notice that he's there for a job. His easiness makes it feel m...
ore like working with a family member which makes it less awkward when it comes to someone taking your pictures. The pictures came out great and we couldn't be happier! He's very prompt when it comes to any questions or suggestions you might need. If i had to get married again he would definitely be the guy to call! LoL, not that I would plan on getting married again, he's just that good :p I just love how personable he is and how he can work around your schedule with no problems. I totally recommend his services to any skeptical bride! You'll be worry free if you go with him :) Oh! and he has A LOT of patience!!! Which worked out for us... esp me, 'cause I tend to take my time with things.....
Carlos was amazing!! Our wedding day would not have been the same without him. We are beyond impressed with all of our photos. Working with Carlos felt like we had one of our frien...
ds taking our pictures. Carlos went above and beyond throughout and even selected the location for our engagement shoot and bride/groom pictures. We could not be happier with the service we received from Carlos and would definitely work with him again!
Our wedding photos by Carlos Delgado Photography were EXQUISITE! From 7am to 12am, he was able to capture every little detail and special moment. Our wedding had 2 ceremonies (Trad...
itional Khmer Ceremony and Catholic Ceremony) and a reception, which was very difficult for me to find a photographer that could accomodate my long hours. Most photographers offer up to 10hrs and that was not enough for us and additional charges for additional hours made it all too expensive for us. Carlos' wedding photography packages offers exceptional price and value. Carlos also offers customized packages to meet your needs and budget, such as offering a la carte items to add to your package. Our photos were so beautiful and filled with many colors and culture that it captured the attention of Wedding Nouveau (an online wedding magazine www.weddingnouveau.com). His pictures told our story so perfectly that Wedding Nouveau featured us in their Real Weddings column. Overall, Carlos possesses exceptional skills and professionalism. He is very punctual to all his events and photo shoots. Most importantly, he is very easy to work with and will make you feel very comfortable, while giving you great tips and suggestions to make your photos look phenomenal. He is not only wonderful to work with but has also become a good friend. Thank you Carlos Delgado!

llent and also made our family/guest feel very important and specia. He truly went ABOVE AND BEYOND. We absolutely loved our photos and everyone still hasn't stopped talking about our engagement shoot and how amazing our wedding photos were. I'd definitley work with him again in the future for our next special event. THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH

Carlos took some marvelous photographs at my daughter's wedding. He was so unobtrusive, that he was hardly noticed - such a great job! I am delighted to recommend him to anyone.
I had the pleasure of meeting Carlos Delgado at his home and he provided us with sufficient information and examples of his work to make an educated decision in utilizing his photo...
graphy services. One of the key selling points was that he had no set hours, most photographers will photograph your event for 4 to 10 hours. My daughter asked Carlos to arrive at 7am and he was prompt on his arrival From the moment he arrived, he was on the job, capturing the moments as they happened throughout the day. By the time we arrived at our wedding venue, he had tallied over 100 pictures of just getting ready. At the venue, he and his partner (Jeffrey) were on a roll. There attention to minute detail was terrific. It definitely gave us the flavor of the location where at the time we were to busy to notice. In addition, the venue was a beautiful site and added to the creative juices that these guys had to offer; the pictures were like none that I have ever seen. Honestly, the pictures they took throughout the day captured the unique personality of the wedding event and the pictures they took were breathtaking, vibrant, creative, fun, better than life, and some were MAGAZINE READY. They also were open to suggestions to the sites we selected for bridal party pictures and Carlos also had a few site selections of his own. As part of our, package he provided up to the moment slideshow of all that had occurred throughout the day and evening at our reception venue. It was here that we first saw the quality of his work and I over heard many of our guests rave about the pictures. Within 3 days, he had posted over 700 of the best pictures on his site and he and Jeffrey must have snapped thousands. We could not be any happier with end product that Carlos Delgado provided us. He truly captured the event the way it should be captured and he did not leave until the reception was winding down after 9pm (yes that was a 14 hour day) If you want to see what I am talking about, go to his website and check out the Arciniaga-Methvin photographs on 5/28/11.

Photos are very important to family and we are so happy we chose Carlos. My parents had a bad experience with the photographer at there wedding and we didn't want history to repeat...
. Carlos did not disappoint
From the start Carlos was great to work with. I found him easy to get into contact with, he always answered his phone and responded to emails quickly. I always felt like a priority.
James and I weren't sure where we wanted photos taken for our engagement and Carlos was quick to send a list of fun and/or beautiful locations in our area. the list included images and website links. He made it so easy for us. He also listened to what kind of people we are.
The best part was he was so prepared. For example our engagement shoot was in a location that Carlos had never been before. So the week before our shoot he went to this place to check it out. He had a game plan all ready so we could get the best shots. then the day of he arrived an hour early so he would be ready for when we arrived. the only reason we knew he got there an hour early was we got there early too.
For the wedding photos we planned on going to bowers museum and tewinkle park and Carlos did the same thing as he did for the engagement photos. He went to the ceremony site, reception site, bowers museums and tewinkle Park ahead of time so he knew where all the best photo spots were.
some of the places we went were crowed with people Carlos had no problem asking people to move so we could get the shot we wanted. He was always courteous and kind, never rude.
Carlos and coworker Jeff seem like a couple of young fun guys that enjoy what they do despite how young they look they were very professional
the reason that I chose Carlos over any other photographer was TIME. his time was unlimited which was very important considering out wedding was very long The ladies started getting ready at 4:00am and the reception didn't end until 10:00pm and Carlos and his team were there for the whole thing snapping away.
during the reception the photos from earlier were playing on a slide show. it was so cool to see them the same day and our guest loved it too. Also during the reception Carlos was quick to take photos where the action was. if something exciting was happening he was there with a camera
The photos are beautiful and creative they could be in a bride magazine. Better than I ever imagined.
within 72 hours as promised the photos were up and I'm currently enjoying them.
I would recommend Carlos to any bride because i never had to worry about photography, Carlos from the start was excited to do our wedding and he acted like it just by being Accessible, Punctual, prepared, creative and Enthusiastic.
Carlos took gorgeous photos of our wedding. He is creative and talented. There were no cheesy poses or anything like that. He is great to work with and got our photos to us really ...
quickly. He is a true professional and I would recommend him to anyone and everyone!
Carlos's service was impeccable from beginning to end. We gave Carlos a big challenge. He and his staff were discrete and able to capture candid and posed photos from unexpected an...
gles. Our wedding was at night and he was so prepared bringing a mobile lighting studio that did not distract from our event. Then end the end when we received our albums they were simply perfect. He even caught my 2 year old nephew cutting a rug. I would recommend Carlos and his team in a heart beat!
Carlos was very professional and reliable. You get what you pay for and even more. I highly recommend using CD Wedding Photography. He will work with your budget
