Cidade Visual Arts

Great communication throughout the entire process. Antonio is very organized & still flexible. Dealing with Antonio was the easiest part of the wedding! Haven't seen the photos yet but he showed us on his camera as he was taking them & I'm certain they will be amazing!! Headed it fun. The pricing is very fair & competitive but I think in the end it was a great experience & priceless.

I can't say enough great things about Antonio. We had him do our engagement photos first to see how we liked his work. We LOVED it! He did not let us down on our wedding day. He did both photography and video. The video is breath taking! If you want amazing footage of your special day, hands down, Cidade Visual Arts is the way to go.

Antonio was absolutely amazing! Brides and grooms seriously look no further! Antonio was so accommodating and easy to work with! I found him services at a wedding show in Phoenix and was immediately in impressed with his pictures and photography style. His style is so unique and natural, when you look through his portfolio you will see a variety of settings and events but one thing is common across the board, he captures the true feeling and emotion of each evvent. Antonio captured our wedding and really put us at ease throughout the whole process. From our first meeting to currently he is quick with his responses and very thorough. His professionalism made me feel that I made even better choice for our wedding as he went through the whole schedule and knows what brides are going through and really caters to that! Antonio is extremely patient and calming disposition which made everything with him so stress free. He was super organized which I LOVED and really knows what he is doing. It was so helpful for us to do an engagement session with him-which was included with our package-for him to get to know us and us to better know him as a photographer. Our engagement pictures came out perfect and they were so fun to do and Antonio had so many amazing ideas for the pictures. For our wedding I seriously was soooo happy we went with him because he captured the day beautifully, but during the ceremony and reception, he was out of the way and let people really enjoy the day, but he still captured the day great! He has so many amazing and unique ideas for the photos of just my wife and I and they are absolutely breathtaking. I am so serious when I say look no further! Antonio is amaaaazing! Give him a call and book a meeting with him and you will see how truly amazing he is.

The entire experience was amazing. Tony was able to capture the special moments of our wedding. He possesses an uncanny knack for being at the right place at the right time for some amazing memories. He listened carefully and was attentive to our desires and plans. He even made my 11 month old niece stop crying for a precious smile. He was timely, focused, and polite. I am forever grateful for the memories Tony captured.

We are very happy with Tonino's work, he was very professional. He helped us immensely, suggesting poses, colors and scene location that best suited our look as a couple. He got back to us the following day with the edited pictures and we love them. I would say the quality of his work is excellent and I should mention the attention to detail. Thanks Tonino!

If you are thinking about hiring Antonio for your wedding, DON’T. Please save yourself from him ruining your wedding and not having photos of the most basic wedding photos ANY photographer should take and provide to their client- nor provide you with any of your MUST HAVE photos. This is even with hiring TWO photographers, and he brought an “assistant,” which was his girlfriend. Want pictures of the father daughter dance? Want pics of the mother son dance? Wedding party entrances? Maid of Honor Speech? Pictures of your husband and his family? If you do…. Go with someone else!! I truly am posting my experience to help a future bride not go through the same things I experienced. Here is a recap, all of which is based on facts of my wedding on 11/7. Prior to wedding: Our wedding was in AZ (we live in a different state). My FH and I flew in a month prior to meet with our vendors. We were scheduled to meet Antonio at the hotel where the venue was going to be, at 11am. I communicated that I had a flight to catch that day so it was important he be on time. At 11:38, I had to message him and ask where he was at. He did not even let me know he was running late, zero communication. He arrived at NOON, and needless to say I was not happy. That should have been my first clue that he would cause me the most stress on my wedding day. The day of the wedding: Although we went over the plans a couple of times in person and via zoom, nothing went accordingly! He had 7 hours to capture the must have photos (could have at any point and not just during group photos, which were 5 requests) and never once let me know he did not take them, nor ask for time to take them. I CANNOT even begin to express my sadness. Now for the final product… I only had a short list of must haves- I did not get any of them! Again- this is paying for TWO photographers! When I reached out and asked, he blamed me because the ceremony started late. Again- you have 7 hours to get the 5 must haves at any point!! Now for the basic pics I feel every wedding photographer should capture and provide- We did not get ONE picture of my husband and his family!! NOT ONE!!! NO picture of our father daughter dance, no picture of mom and son dance, no picture of MOH giving speech, the two couples of the wedding party entering into the reception were blurry and unacceptable (I have attached on other reviews, but I cannot on this one- and he says these are the good pictures! )- did not even get each wedding party couple. He blamed me because he did not have time to set up- which was to happen BEFORE the wedding as documented- again doesn’t make any sense given I have some photos before and after these one time wedding events- but ok! Also, there were two of the same clip included in the video. These are all facts and documented. When I reached out, he indicated it is the final product and would not even give us other pictures we know were taken that were important, such as my mother in law holding grandma’s veil- he would not provide any additional photos that were taken and continued to say the product was final. I can go on and on about all of the issues, but hopefully this gives you some insight and you book with someone else. If you truly want to capture your wedding day- and you want to ENJOY your wedding day WITHOUT stress… GO WITH SOMEONE ELSE!

We are so happy with Cidade Visual Arts. He captured our first family photos with our new baby. His attention to detail, professionalism, and quick turn around really impressed us. We were so happy with the outcome of the pictures that when our newborn turned one years old, we knew he would be the one to call once again to capture our family's precious moments.

Very proffesional, extremely knowledgeable when it comes to wedding or editorial photos. He took the time to give me instructions for the best locations, learned alot from his ideas. I have no hessitation in recommending him, plus fast delivery (next day!) for the photos.
