five19

ople you will ever meet! While other vendors seemed hesitant to work with us because we had a rather unorthodox venue, Raul hopped right in and was by far our favorite wedding professional of the day. We never felt awkward or out of place; let's face it, staring at a camera can be scary and unnerving sometimes. But, he always made everything seem natural and, most importantly, fun! Our pictures turned out phenomenal and the lasting impression of five19 will stay with us always. We cannot recommend Raul and his team enough!

his professionalism and the quality of his work speaks for itself. I plan on using five19 for more life events!

ost importantly his beautiful photography even at such a short notice. He was absolutely amazing and I'm so grateful for the experience we had with him.

aving your photo taken a fun and comfortable one. We had a very small wedding in Piedmont Park back in November. We are a military couple from out of town and had a very short engagement (3 weeks!). Raul was very accommodating to this short timeline, distance and on the day of was prepared, efficient, and very professional. This was much appreciated as not only was the day quite cold and blustery, but we had certain pictures we wanted taken, which he was sure to get. Afterwards, Raul kept us updated on when our photos were be completed (which didn't take long). He even sent a handwritten card with he CD of our photos which was a nice touch. Thank you again Raul!

r, and did amazing work. We had guests who said Raul and five19 were very friendly and very professional and did exceptional work. I was running late the day of the wedding, but Raul remained calm and collected and reassured me all would be fine! Everyone we talked to was so impressed with five19, and my husband and I are beyond excited for the way our pictures turned out! If you are getting married and need a photographer, I highly encourage and recommend you to hire Raul and five19 for your photography! :)

ervice as well as photos. (1) We paid for up lighting for the reception. The up lighting was not captured in any of my reception photos! I emailed him regarding this and he stated his job was not to capture lighting but to capture faces. What?! What photographer uses equipment that completely drowns out the lighting and mood of your reception. If an IPhone can take clear pictures at a reception showing the up lighting, why couldn’t a professional photographer?! He then offered to Photoshop the photos stating he would be willing to do a few of them but reminded me I did not pay for this service. My reply was no thank you! Photoshop should not have been needed in the first place for something that should have been in the original photos! He stated that the flash he used for the photos was the reason the up lighting was not shown. Raul never spoke with me prior to the wedding that his equipment would result in my reception looking like a brightly lit room. What bride wants her reception photos to look like it took place at high noon in a brightly lit room if she specifically placed and paid for up lighting. Unfortunately, aside from photos taken by phone, there are no photos of how my reception actually looked. He never apologized or offered to refund any of my money. (2) Prior to the wedding, he asked for a list of photos we would like to have taken with various family members and the bridal party. I've never done this before so I sent a pretty long list of photos I wanted. I assumed as the photographer, he would have emailed me back with suggestions on how to shorten the list so we did not spend hours taking photos and miss out on valuable reception time. I was wrong. After it seemed like the photos were taking forever, I started to get stressed and intervened and started reducing and combining photos myself...it would have taken probably three hours at the rate he was taking photos. Also if you do use him, be aware that he refuses to work with wedding planners, which was annoying since I hired a wedding planner to deal with my vendors! He really dropped the ball and failed to provide the caliber of service I expected from a professional photographer.

His professionalism and patience were super helpful in getting a rowdy bunch of kids to cooperate. I would HIGHLY recommend!!

tos would we want and how the day would go. What really gave us our layout for the rest of the ceremony & reception. Our bridal party, family & friends all enjoyed Studio519. I had so many compliments on how nice and friendly he was and taking photos with my guest. Through out the reception he made point to take pictures with my family & guest. Not only did it give us time to thank them for coming to celebrate our special day, but we have wonderful pictures of them. The overall quality of professionalism and photography was everything we wanted for our wedding day. We can't thank Studio519 enough for giving us that!!

saw our pictures loved them and said they have never seen wedding pictures so full of life. They are very easy to work with and to communicate with. It was one of the best decisions for the wedding I made! I recommend five19.com!!!!

worked with us over the phone for months before the wedding to establish our preferred wedding style , and showed incredible attention to detail and our wishes. Raul's work is exquisite and his partnership with us on 9/24 made it a day to remember . In our opinion, the photographer is the most important wedding vendor- and if you want the best, pick Raul and his team.

h creative ways to take some amazing pictures that I displayed all around my house. Thank you five19!!!

ve hoped for, and as a bride, my standards were pretty high. He worked with our style and spent a lot of time helping me organize my thoughts into exactly what I wanted. He made us feel like our wedding was his priority - he even visited the venue ( 1+ hr drive away and about 2 miles up a gravel round into a mountain lodge) so he could prepare, figuring out where the sun was...good spots for bridal party group photo... he knows his stuff. Raul also has such a chill, down to earth personality that I desperately needed on a busy day! He made my husband and I, plus all our guests, feel comfortable being silly, beautiful, and romantic on camera. We are very happy with the entire experience and outcome.

tire process. He even arrived at the venue before I did and got to work right away, which was just one less thing I had to worry about! Raul and his assistant were great throughout the entire night and we ended up with amazing photos that we will relish for many years to come!

where did you find your photographer? they are absolutely fabulous! Raul is so easy going and the second we met him my husband and I both knew we would get along perfectly!

Thank you again so much studio519 for capturing our special day

s to anyone!

Raul from Studio519 Inc exceeded my expectations by leaps and bounds. I was already impressed by his professionalism and demeanor based on our initial meeting, not to mention his photo samples were breathtaking. But on the actual wedding day he made everyone feel so comfortable that even the people in our circle that don't like taking pictures enjoyed doing so on that day. He was professional without being pushy and had great ideas without everything looking "posed". He knew how important it was to us to include my "bonus" children in the day and he did exactly that, making sure to get shots of them and their dad, with me and with all of us as a new family and he made it fun! Everyone that has seen our pics are blown away by the clarity. We had expressed we wanted candid "real" pictures to look back at and boy did he deliver. I would highly recommend Studio519 and will definitely use them again.

icense he truly shines! He beautifully captured our wedding and was a joy to have fluttering around. I would most definitely recommend Studio 519! He is not just a guy with a camera, he is a true photographer with a gift!

d he surpassed our expectations the day of! He was very professional, arrived early and delivered the final product even earlier than the due date. The quality of his work is AMAZING!

to others looking for affordable services.

elped our picture ideas work. We've received so many positive comments on his work. You should definitely book him!

es are forever and I wanted to document every minute of the day. He did. We are grateful to have him and his team as our wedding photographer, They did a amazing job!

, he really captures the beauty of your day on film. My hubby and I are in the LGBTQ community, and Raul never discriminated once; he just really wanted to tell our story, and capture our special day. The finishing product we received was High Quality work, we will be using Raul again once we build our family. For our family photos of course, I would absolutely recommend him for any event. He's amazing! Thx Raul!!! Shawn & Ashley Pitts-Williams.

!

ts are priceless and the pose pictures are amazing! Thank you so much guys!

RY creative and organized in return I received amazing pictures that I shared with my friends and family. Their personality is great: very easy going and open for suggestions on photo style and poses. I recommend Studio519 to other brides getting married without a doubt!

get so many awesome pics of everyone involved! They turned out beautiful. When I started the search for a photographer for my own wedding in Philadelphia, I was elated to find out that Raul could travel to work here! Raul made everything VERY easy. I created a picture timeline about a week or 2 before the wedding--we chatted once on the phone about a game plan, and that was it. I had no worries heading in to the big day. The day of the wedding Raul and his assistant, Len were AMAZING. They were extremely professional and SO easy to work with, everything was very relaxed and low stress. They captured every key moment and took advantage of all the time we booked with them. AND our pictures were edited and returned to us SO FAST! I can't say enough amazing things about working with Raul--I highly recommend everyone work with him!

knowing what to do. We were all a little lost and a lot stressed out especially me. Raul was my hero. He was a true professional. He kept me calm and focused and was even able to help me have fun. When he was around I was truly enjoying the experience which show in the pictures. Speaking of the pictures can you say "WOW". Very classy and well done. He was able to incorporate my ideas but more important he directed me into some great photos I would have never thought of. Being a professional myself I know how important it is to be confident and knowledgeable in what you do and Raul was a super star. Thank you so much Raul!!

g events because it was very observational and natural rather than staged or posed. Raul spent several hours with me personally discussing my vision and my expectations prior to our date. He took both me and my husband's preferences into account by surveying our style and interests for a perspective on our overall lifestyles. The extra attention to detail and wanting to express the style of us as a couple was amazing. On the day of the wedding, they arrived with energy and a sense of control which made my family and the bridal party at ease. They laughed with us and made us feel comfortable at every step in the production. Raul and his team sticks to a timeline carefully crafted to allow for optimal photography opportunities. From landscape to action shots, they can do it all. I really enjoyed the bride/groom photo shoot after our ceremony because Raul's romantically-inclined style shined through in the elegance and charm of the photos. It was so fun to work with them! I highly recommend this studio for couples wanting a true documentary of all their special moments with a personal touch and attention to detail!

usband and I before the wedding and letting us know exactly how the day would go. He is very professional, but also personalable at the same time! His experience in photography was shown from the initial call. I am looking forward to utilizing his services again and sending referrals his way!

om Studio 519 I never got this feeling. He was so professional and encouraged everyone that taking pictures was fun, they all turned out beautifully and we got the pictures faster than I was expecting. The best part was that we were working with a tight budget and got pictures that look better than the expensive photographers I have seen. I'm still shocked that we got to work with someone so wonderful and got great pictures taken at such an affordable price. I'm recommending Studio 519 to all of my friends and family!

hole event to flow smoothly. This is a way of capturing all the photos the bride and groom want plus everyone involved knows exactly where to be and at what time. Raul and his assistant were there every minute from the time I was getting ready til the last guest left the reception. It was cool to see how much the two of them were enjoying themselves. Not only were they professional, they were having fun, too! This made me more relaxed - and every bride needs to relax a little and enjoy the moment. Raul's pricing is very reasonable and the quality of his work is top notch. I highly recommend him and will call him in the future when/if I need a photographer for another event.

sappointed in the quality of the photography, the lack of specific photo set ups that we requested, and the attitude I got when we were short on time and I wanted to get at least a couple of fun shots with my bridesmaids before the ceremony. Instead being told in the most sarcastic tone, "Oh, I'm just a photographer I can just shoot photos with no time to set up." So, we ended up not doing any, which I realize I should have insisted on instead of being bullied. At least the groom and his guys got some really cool shots. Most my my pre wedding shots are either me OR my bridesmaids getting ready in fish eye lens distortion. While the fish eye was used in a small fraction of the photos it made up the majority of my pre-ceremony photos (which I had expressly told him during our first meeting that I wasn't crazy about fish eye). There were also some really odd shots using it as well, which many of my guests questioned why a photographer would do that with wedding photos. :( Extremely disappointed and I dread going through the photos again to create my album because it just makes me cry when I think about what my photos could have been with a better photographer.

with and I recently got my pictures and they turned out great. The best part is the cost was affordable and it made not difference on quality. The pictures look like they belong in a magazine! I can't say enough about how pleased I am with my experience with Studio 519. I recommend them to anyone especially if you are like me and you want someone to give you all the details and stay in contact with you constantly. It will definitely give you peace of mind to know you don't have to worry about your photographer because it is the most important vendor you pick. To sum it up, yes definitely pick Studio 519.

really captured our emotions and our crazy/goofy personality. He was very easy to work with and made us feel comfortable. I would recommend Studio 519 to anyone looking for a wedding photographer.

and priceless candid shots during the reception. In addition, Raul helped me with the timeline to ensure that I was satisfied. We love love love our pictures and wish Raul and team much success!
