When I first found them at the wedding expo I fell in love with their work and was so happy! The digital pictures i got we’re good. But unfortunately we did have to pay and tip up front per their rules and we are almost 3 years out from our wedding (October 23,2020) and have yet to receive our wedding album that was paid for! With multiple attempts to reach out I always get told in a couple months she will have funds and here I am with no wedding album. Be cautious and don’t pay until you’ve received everything you’ve paid for. I should not be dealing with wedding stuff almost 3 years later.
Lucero and Javier were amazing to work with. They were flexible as our wedding day plans were altered with COVID and still were able to capture all the special moments of our small, intimate day. Lucero walked us through our wedding timeline in detail and really listened to our vision. Our engagement photos and wedding photos authentically captured us and our family and we're excited to work with them again in the future! Highly recommend for anyone looking for photography in the San Antonio area.
Lucero and Javier were the absolute best to work with! They have a beautiful, creative vision that we knew we wanted our day to be captured by them. The engagement pictures were gorgeous and we are so excited to see how our wedding day turned out. They were very easy and fun to work with, made everyone feel at ease, and were great at communicating.
Lucero was very professional and knowledgeable with the process. We met several months in advance to become familiar with each other and to get a general flow and timeline for the wedding, which gave us peace of mind. The wedding day couldn’t have been smoother! The photos came out amazing and we are happy that we chose Encantro Rojo for our wedding photographers!
Awesome team!!! Great communication! They have a passion for what they do!!!
Couldn’t have asked for a better photographer! Lucero helped us with everything she could and more. The final product was perfect! The photos are beautiful and really capture the feeling of that day.
Lucero and Javier are incredible! Very talented and they make sure to capture every moment of your event, even the little things and every detail! So in love with my wedding pictures!
My husband and I are absolutely in love with this duo—Lucy and Javier. We were very lucky to have met Lucy at the Bridal Extravaganza. Encanto Rojo was the first vendor that we hired in our wedding planning process—and a firm decision that we do not regret. They helped us create something memorable in our relationship.
They blew us away at our engagement session (and again at our wedding a couple of weeks ago)! Their quality of work is exceptional, and they helped us feel comfortable in front of the camera. They are very personable, yet professional and always prepared (they even helped me with an energy drink when I was fatigued during our engagement photoshoot). Lucy and Javier’s personalities made me very excited throughout the wedding planning process.
I am always in awe when I sort through our engagement photos, reminiscing of these two who helped us capture these precious memories and how fun the experience was. I cannot wait to see the finished product from our wedding! Encanto Rojo is a treasure that I highly recommend.

I went to Encanto Rojo with a general idea about proposing to my now fiancée. Encanto Rojo helped turn my idea into a reality with their incredible service and captured the special moment with exceptional photos. Lucero even met with me at the outdoor location the evening before for a walk-through while it was sleeting. And the final photos turned out incredibly. Lucero and Javier are truly talented and have a way of making you feel comfortable. They even sent us photos the evening of the proposal that were edited so that we could share them with our friends and family to announce our news. The quality of the edits were phenomenal and brought the beautiful Riverwalk and Christmas light in the Pearl Brewery area to life even though the photos were captured late in the evening while it was dark. We loved Lucero & Javier’s photos and them as a couple so much that we have decided to book them for our upcoming wedding! This was th quickest and easiest decision we have made in the wedding planning process and knew immediately when we received our proposal photos that we had found our wedding photographers! We can’t wait for them to shoot the wedding and are grateful that we have two people we feel so comfortable with to share the day with. We can’t say enough great things about Lucero & Javier!
From start to finish, we’ve loved everything Lucero and Javier have done for us and our big day! They were so easy to get ahold of when we first reached out getting feelers from photographer. Lucero took the time to FaceTime with us as we live in Houston, for as long as we needed to map out our dream experience. She helped us create a timeline and explained everything we’d need from a photography standpoint. I chose a bridal session with my package. They were so helpful in listing tons of places where we could have the shoot at. They worked around their wedding season schedule and with our travel schedule to book my bridal session to ensure I had bridal portraits to display at our wedding. When we got to the shoot, they made me feel so comfortable and beautiful. They both have such an eye for artistry within their work. It was amazing to watch as they BOTH captured the same shot from different viewpoints. They never ran out of creativity and seemed more inspired with each shot taken. They’re truly a dynamic duo and their work definitely shows from it.
My wife and I are grateful to have worked with Javier & Lucy of Encanto Rojo Photography.
My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed working with Lucero & Javier! They were very easy going and so pleasant to work with. Not to mention their work is amazingly beautiful! I highly recommend them for anyone looking to hire a wedding or bridal portraits photographer.
They did a great job of having the pictures capture the emotions of the day. They weren’t just static individual pictures but they are able to tell much more of the story. As the saying goes, a picture is worth a thousand words and Lucy and Javier photos speak volumes
Professional, high quality, and friendly. It’s been a pleasure working with Encanto Rojo Photography & Video.
My son Philip and his wife Grace look absolutely beautiful in their wedding pictures. It was truly a gorgeous day, filled with love, family and friends. Lucero and Javier made sure to include grandparents (my parents) in pictures and video — which is so important to me. I’m so grateful to know that we can relive that special day through pictures and their amazing wedding video. Sharing with friends and co-workers was fun too! I’m glad that we were given that capability. Awesome job! Thank you so much!
As the father of the bride, I’ll say that we went with a great photography/videography package. Lucy and Javier worked great as a team with their assistant. We have only received positive feedback from both sides of the family. Payment and contract was very easy and straightforward. I would highly recommend.
Hi, Philip here. My now wife Grace and I have been together since high school — over 11 years. To say that planning our wedding day was a long time coming is an understatement. One of the biggest priorities for me (and us) was to capture every moment of that day through film. Cold calling Encanto Rojo (Lucero) was the best decision I’ve ever made! Grace found them through a review on Facebook and we met with Lucy the following week. Our initial meeting with her gave us the greatest security because we meshed immediately with her passion and vision. We booked them that same day to secure our date — it was an easy decision and process to complete the contract. The communication with Lucero and Javier (video) throughout the planning process up to our wedding day was excellent! On the day, Lucy and Javier were punctual, friendly with all guests, willing to accommodate time for our HUGE families, and followed our timeline to a T! My wife and I are not the most easy people to pose, yet they captured both candid moments (and poised) between us that I cherish and will hold onto for the rest of our lives. Bottom line: they make you feel like family and that’s the most important part. We were incredibly happy with the services they provided and can’t rave about them enough. Highly highly highly recommend to anyone looking for a photography/videography team with authentic talent!
Fantastic couple to work with. Extremely please with the quality of the video and photos. Got everything promised and more. Highly recommend this company
What can I say about this team that isn't already felt when you work with them?
They're passionate about what they do. They're punctual, professional, and 'click' together. As a team, they take the most amazing shots. One person is taking a portrait while the other goes in for a long, panoramic shot.
Their style is almost journalist-like with a carefree and natural-warming feel.
We took our engagement pictures at the coast and Lucero even braved bees, snakes, spiders, and sharks to get the most amazing shots for us. What kind of photographer would do that and not make a single peep about it?!
They were warm, friendly, and I wasn't nervous at all posing in shots for them. They were excellent directors and gave positive feedback on how to look natural/not-stiff in pictures.
When I saw the engagement pictures for the first time online I was at work. I literally downloaded the entire album they shared and tried not to ugly cry from the beauty and raw warmth captured in each shot.
I would highly recommend Encanto Rojo for all of your engagement and wedding needs. I don't know if they do maternity and family shoots but I'll definitely hit them up for it in the future if they do.
Book them soon. You will not be disappointed.
Lucero & Javier are genuinely nice, punctual, professional, generous with allowing plenty of time to get all the right photos to make sure you are satisfied, and not to mention they take BREATHTAKING photos. I did my bridal portraits with them a few weeks ago and was more than happy with the work they did. They make a great team and I am so excited for them to shoot my wedding in a few months! I would recommend them to anyone.
Lucero and Javier are amazing. If you're at all considering hiring them for your photos on your big day, DO IT.
What to love about them: Super responsive, and committed to doing your day your way. I was really really picky when it came to which person I wanted to shoot my wedding, and they really did a lot of work before even hiring them to make me feel comfortable with them. They showed dedication to me and my business even BEFORE I hired them.
They were very easy to work with on my contract and scheduling different services (in my case, being willing to adjust day-of shoot times so I could capture a Chinese Tea ceremony the day before my wedding).
Lucero planned a detailed schedule for my day of (even more detailed than my coordinator!), and spoke to me for over an hour about what sort of things I wanted to look for in my pictures, and if there were any that I really liked.
When it came to actually taking photos, they was on time, and ready to go. They made me feel completely and totally at ease, and made a long shoot seem to fly by.
When I actually got my pictures back...holy cow. I've always struggled with self image, but Lucero and Javier made me feel beautiful. They captured my personality perfectly in my pictures, and just did a beautiful job overall.
If you're looking for someone who will work exhaustively to make your photos what they want, produce incredibly high quality work, and are a joy to work with, choose Encanto Rojo. Best decision in wedding planning for me.

Encanto Rojo and team were amazing! They make you feel special, and are very professional. They did a fantastic job on my bridals, wedding day photos, and videoography. They honestly felt like family.
We love Encato Rojo! From our very first conversation, we knew we had the perfect vendors for our wedding. Lucero was so creative and personable and really tailored her services to our needs. She made us feel comfortable and at ease as went went through the entire process leading up to the day as well as the day of our actual wedding. Being that our wedding was a same sex wedding, being comfortable and at ease with our vendor was a must for us, and she both Lucero and Javier far surpassed our expectation. They were very punctual and professional through out the whole event of our wedding. They were both very flexible with our timeline the day of our wedding, as we were inevitably behind schedule. On and then there’s the pictures. Amazing! We love the artistry and creativity of their shots. You can see their passion for photography in their work. I would 100 times recommend Encanto Rojo.
Had a great time with Javier and Lucy when they photography our engagement and wedding sessions. We felt really comfortable with them, as if they were family. They were able to accommodate our hectic schedule and when coordinating dates for our sessions. We are really pleased with the way our photographs came out and would highly recommend this team to capture your big day.
Lucy and Javier are a great team. They were attentive and captured exactly who we are as a couple. They are a joy to work with, and I would highly recommend them to anyone who asks!!
In preparing for our wedding day, one of our most important expenses was our photograpy because we knew we would cherish our wedding photos forever. We made the perfect choice in having Encanto Rojo capture our wedding day. They captured everything we wanted and more. Our wedding pictures are amazing. We could not have imagined anything better from the Encanto Rojo team.
Couldn’t have asked for better! Lucero and Javier are amazing at what they do. They take the time to walk you through everything step by step and made our wedding day stress free. I can’t recommend them enough - I promise you won’t be disappointed!
Lucero and Javier were amazing to work with from beginning to end! My husband and I didn't care to have a huge traditional wedding we wanted something small, simple and quick. Lucero and Javier worked with us on creating a photo timeline and helped make sure that during our 1.5 long wedding (Getting ready, ceremony and reception) we would capture all of the intimate/important moments that we wanted. Although our wedding was short a lot was packed in, and they kept up with every special moment! It was also really really nice to have two photographers to capture the different angels. I loved the way they worked together, I loved the way they edited the photos, and I loved that they were so intent on making sure they understood what WE wanted for photos. When we got back from our honeymoon Lucero wanted to meet with my husband and I so that she could personally go over the photos with us and show us how to work the website that she uploaded all of the photos to and gave us the BEST present. She had one of our wedding photos professionally printed as a gift and we were able to hang one of our wedding photos up that same day. If you are looking for photographers that genuinely care about making sure your wedding day is as special as it should be, choose Encanta Rojo. They are the best.
We chose Encanto Rojo after finding them on Facebook! My (now) husband Philip and I are so grateful that we fell into luck! We met with Lucero with my parents for our intial consultation and after quickly realizing how much we loved Lucero's personality, style, and passion for this art -- we were both sold -- along with my parents. She dedicated so much time into getting to know us as a couple and our personalities. Leading up to the event, they kept open lines of communication and talked us through everything (making it very simple on us). On the day of the wedding, we met Javier for the first time, along with their assistant, and immediately felt like we were old friends, just like we did with Lucero. Neither my husband nor I are very photogenic, but they made it feel like we were! Photos that meant a lot to me were taken at the perfect moments while getting ready with my mom and first look with my dad. We have 8 sets of parents and huge families and they were extremely patient with EVERYBODY, even when I wasn't as much. Haha! Also, Javier did a fantastic job at directing the groomsmen and my hubby in their getting ready suite -- which is super impressive! Another thing that stood out to us was their commitment to our timeline, which was organized with Lucero's help. They were also incredibly flexible and so patient!!! Guests at my wedding complimented their dedication to our big day and how sweet they all are. My husband and I cannot wait to receive our pictures and video. Overall, book with Encanto Rojo for your big day if you want sweet photographers/videographer dedicated to making your day all about the two of YOU! We enjoyed working and becoming friends with Lucero and Javier. They are incredible! BESOS XOXO, Grace and Philip
Lucero and Javier are such a joy to work with. They have a great energy, are very professional, and very easy to work with. We are a lesbian couple and they seemed very comfortable working with us, which is not something that you can say about every vendor. We used Encanto's services for our wedding videography (10/7/17) and chose them because we were drawn to their style which seemed more cinematic compared to other companies that we looked at. We heard rumor of a sneak peek of our video coming next week and are super excited to see how it turned out. I can remember their presence at all of our special moments - noticeably present but not at all intrusive or in the way. Our wedding was everything we wanted and more, and we can't wait to relive it when the final video arrives! :)
Let me begin by saying that Lucero and Javier are two amazing individuals that have so much passion for the art of photography. Their passion resonates through every moment they capture. We are so blessed to have had them capture our special day as they were able to capture the essence of our love in such a timeless way. Lucero and Javier are very professional, keen to details and most importantly visionaries. They were very attentive to our needs throughout the entire process, made every encounter we had together an enjoyable and easy one. I would highly to recommend them to anyone who is looking to have the best photography and services for their special day.
They are extremely professional and very creative. I loved how they were very discreet when shooting photos and video; we didn’t even realize they were there most of the time. The quality of their work is unmatched and I 100% recommend them. You can also look at their amazing work online.
Encanto Rojo is such an incredible company. I have had the pleasure of seeing them work at a loved one’s wedding. The amount of passion and creativity that Lucero and Javier put into their photography and videography is unmatched by any other photography business I have ever seen. My fiancé and I decided to have them document our wedding day next year because we have just fallen in love with their work!
Thankful to have found an amazing photogarapher and videographer to capture a special day for my husband and I. The prints and the video we received were even more beautiful and captivating than we had hoped for. Lucero and Javier both have an amazing work ethic, eye for detail, and, professionalism. After meeting them, it was clear how their personalities and passion matched their talent. Not only did they make us feel comfortable the day of our wedding, but they made the whole process leading to the big day less stressful. We loved Encanto Rojo and we definitely recommed this talented pair!
