went out of his way to make our entire wedding day perfect. Both of our families raved about him and how great he was throughout the day.
We had a wonderful experience with Harold as our photographer. He showed up early (despite an unexpected March snow storm) and helped us to stay calm and organized as we navigated ...
many events during our wedding weekend. His photos were excellent, and he really captured the essence of our wedding. He was flexible with timing according to our schedule, and he made sure that he was able to fully focus on us during the weekend.
Harold was very familiar with the right moments to photograph during the baraat, Hindu ceremony, and church ceremony. He managed to capture every moment and angle of all events, and we are very pleased with the photos that we received from him.
We highly recommend Harold! It was such a breath of fresh air to work with him during our wedding weekend.
Harold was our photographer for our wedding in October and he was the absolute best photographer that we could have chosen to work with! He is funny, charismatic, patient, professi...
onal and extremely skilled! We were pleasantly surprised when he brought a second shooter (we had a large bridal party and this helped us so much with staying on our timeline!) He was more than just our photographer - he was like a personal assistant throughout the whole day - he controlled the mood of any room that he was in. During cocktail hour, he seamlessly guided us through as we chatted with guests and assisted us with transitioning from group to group with ease. He caught every moment of our wedding day perfectly. We can’t say enough kind things about Harold - everyone who attended the wedding commented on how much they loved Harold and his amazing personality. We shared so many laughs together and his vision was able to shine in our photos. We can’t wait to work with Harold in the future. He is the best HANDS DOWN! It was an unforgettable experience!
We just received our wedding highlight video back from Harold and we couldn’t be happier! The work that the Harold did will forever keep the memories of our day for us to look back...
on. We never expected it to be so thoughtfully put together, multiple camera angles, focusing on the right details at the right time, capturing raw emotion and the unbelievable quality of the footage all contributed to the beautiful film. He was such a great guy to work with was punctual, detailed and attentive. We will always recommend Harold’s services.
I cannot recommend Harold and his crew enough. Harold made my wedding light and fun. He was working hard at getting all of the shots I asked for while making sure everything was ru...
nning perfectly. Harold is sweet and professional. I hired Harold for both my engagement shots, which he made as much fun as possible. We shared a lot of laughs (especially when he showed me a couple of poses he wanted us to try)! Both our wedding pictures and our engagement photos were more beautiful than anything I could have imagined. Highly recommend Harold and his crew for a beautiful, stress free day!
As a first time bride planning my own wedding it is so nerve wrecking how do you pick the right photographer, venue caterer etc?!! Let me tell you from the moment I spoke to Harold...
on the phone I knew he would be the one I wanted to capture my day. I like to play hard to get so I told him Id reach back out in a few days. haha I reached back out a few hours later to book him!! I trusted him from the moment we spoke, I knew I was going to be in good hands on the most important day of my life. Fast forward to our wedding day, he and his team met me with a smile, gave me courage and confidence that I needed to start my ceremony and wedding day. Harold is an artist, a true pro, a caring person, funny and in the short amount of time I got to know him, I know noone can go wrong with hiring him and his team. From the bottom of my heart. Thank you, thank you thank you!
Harold was a true professional. He calmed all of my nerves on the day of my wedding. Even though it was just him, I felt as if I had several photographers around me. He was always ...
there by side when I needed him, took tons of shots, and went out of his way to get the perfect image. He delivered my photographs back to me with lightning speed - I was shocked! He's got a great personality too. Everyone in my wedding party was having such a good time and we can thank Harold for helping to contribute to the good vibes. All I can really say is "thank you!" to Harold and I 100% would recommend his services! His fee is totally reasonable as well. You won't regret it!
I honestly can not say enough about this mans work. His work is top notch but it didn't stop there. He was funny and pleasant. He directed both me and my new bride, telling us wher...
e and how to pose, in order to give us some truly great pictures to enjoy for the rest of our lives. I'd give him more than five stars if I could. My Uncle who is a professional photographer, recommended him for my wedding so I knew he'd be good but he exceeded my expectations. I can't recommend Harold enough. Pick him for your photographer, I promise you won't be disappointed.
5 stars isn’t enough 1 million stars. I couldn’t have asked for a better photographer. Besides the pictures coming out like they should be in a magazine, the accommodation from Har...
old was AMAZING. From the day we booked till the day of Harold has kept in constant contact with me and asked if we needed help in anyway all the way down to our coffee orders ! ! 100000000/10
YOU NEED HIM!
As an inexperienced bride in the wedding realm (I say inexperienced because I did not have any close friends or siblings plan a wedding around me), Harold made sure ...
to ease my mind from the moment I called to inquire about his services. He answered all my questions and even advised me on all things wedding related, better than a planner or a best friend who has been married several times over. He made sure to communicate with me exactly how and what to expect and plan with my pictures, which made that part of the day very pleasant and calm. And very importantly—- he brought me and my mother Starbucks coffee and breakfast! Had it not been for him I would have eaten at my reception at 7pm! It’s the little things that shows how much he loves what he does and cares for his clients.
His expertise and artful eye in photography is what first captured my attention. However, after working with him on my wedding day, it was his compassion, friendliness, meticulousness, positive energy, and work ethic that really shined. It’s been three weeks and I still have guests complementing me on my choice in photographer and how incredible he was and how many pictures he took!
Now to the results—OUTSTANDING
He provided a huge selections of images very quickly and the rest shortly after. Harold is our photographer for all events moving forward. Thank you Harold!
The weight of this 5-star review was in Harold's personality and workmanship. We booked before COVID and he stuck with us through several reschedules. Didn't try to hustle us for ...
a penny more. He is thoughtful and easy going.. showed up on time (with coffee!) and was ready to step in when it looked like our videographer was going to be a no-show. Turns out they did show and never announced themselves..smh. Also, the venue was giving us an unbelievably hard time about us enforcing masks and distancing (yeah in the middle of a pandemic) but Harold put on a mask and got to work without complaint.
Now the photos. We were VERY spoiled with the photographer who shot our engagement photos abroad. That being said, Harold did a nice job. I communicated the issues I had with the final cuts and he got to work editing tons of photos until I was happy. My recommendation, if you are particular like I am...communicate clearly every kind of shot you want. He never once told us no, so I wish there were some artistic shots and more close ups that we just didnt get. I would hire Harold again and give samples of the types of poses and style of shooting. He is an absolute dream to work with.
We hired Harold for our wedding pre-pandemic and he was able to help us find a package that suited our needs best. We unfortunately had to reschedule our wedding and Harold was ver...
y flexible and understanding, he made it so much easier during a crazy time. On wedding day Harold and his videographer were flexible, provided great suggestions for shots, and went out of their way to accommodate whatever was needed (including dealing with really hot weather...). We received our pictures and videos a few days ago and have loved every bit! You simply can't go wrong with Harold.
Harold was absolutely top notch!!! He made everything so seamless and easy!! He was an absolutely blast to work with! very approachable and super easy to talk to! taking photos has...
never been so fun! anything you need he will do for you! We loved Harold!
If you need a Photographer who takes away the stress of planning your wedding pictures for that special day, look no further. After talking and meeting with Harold, we felt reassu...
red that our wedding was in great hands. He is a Professional artist who takes great pride in his kraft to make sure he captures the most important moments of your occasion. Arriving earlier upon request, he immediately began using his artistic photographic skills to make our wedding the best it could be and catered to our needs. . He was professional, polite, helpful and the price of his work was perfect to meet our needs. He is a gentleman who really enjoys his work. Thank you Harold Duarte for all you did to make our wedding day the finest!
Harold and his team are a dream to work with! They seamlessly blend into the crowd to capture beautiful candid shots and their suggestions for poses and backgrounds is endless. Ha...
rold guided us through the different shots and poses and put everyone at ease. He worked with our budget and delivered all of our raw images within two weeks!! Harold and his team were beyond kind and fun to work with, cannot recommend enough!
I got married in November and had started wedding planning back in 2018/2019. Harold was, actually, one of the last vendors that I had booked for the wedding. I had kept putting it...
off, because the sticker prices on photographers were scarier than booking a DJ or Florist, for example. However, when I found Harold and met with him, personally, he was very keen on asking me what I was looking for on the day of my wedding. Considering this is my first, and, hopefully, last time planning a wedding, I was not, really, sure, and did not, necessarily, have a great vision for how the day was going to pan out. Despite this, knowing that he was so proactive in delivering such a quality service alleviated much of the stress that came with wedding planning. A week before the wedding, I had one last meeting with Harold before the day to finalize the timeline, other important aspects and key wedding MVPs that had to be photographed. He assured me that whatever I needed, he was, only, a phone call or a text message away, and that he was planning on showing up at the hall, early, to prepare some shots of the venue and get the best lighting. True enough, the day of the wedding came, and the bridal assistant informed me that he had arrived well in advance of our scheduled time and was taking shots of the venue. While we were taking the pictures of the bridal party getting ready, he, constantly, kept the ambiance light to avoid any additional emotional tears from ruining any hair and makeup. He was, truly, a master of ceremonies in keeping the timeline of the church and the reception and all of the pictures in between. He made sure to incorporate who was going to be in what shot and directed the best poses for me and my now husband.
Even after the wedding, working with Harold to transition all of the digital files could not have been any easier. He was flexible with his time and was more than happy to provide pre-stamped envelopes to mail back his memory equipment. Lastly, while Harold being bilingual was not the main reason we booked him, it did come in handy, when we had to take shots with some of my other family members, where English is not the first language. All in all, the options and opportunities are, truly, endless, when you choose to work with Harold and his team to meet all of your photography needs on your special day.
We worked with Harold for a milestone event. He was very responsive right from the paperwork to delivery. He showed up ahead of time to familiarize himself with the setting and ta...
ke some candid shots before the guests arrived. You can tell that he really enjoys his work given the kind of shots and angles he was able to capture. He captured the essence and the emotions. He was very accommodating and went over an beyond what what one would typically expect from such an arrangement. We are very pleased with the results and these pictures will be a part of our cherised memories for a long time. I would highly recommend Harold Duarte.
My husband and I were looking for a photographer and video vendor that will meet our needs but most of all will make our day seem magical. That is what we were able to achieve with...
Harold. He was able to make us happy at all points of the day from waking up super early and spending the day with us by taking fabulous pictures and also having his video man capture every highlight of our beautiful day.
Top notch professional. Harold and his team showed up early at the hotel to set up and get ready to capture all memories. His team went beyond to accommodate our guests and make ...
everyone feel like a VIP. Everyone at the wedding loved the beautiful moments captured. I personally loved the attention to us as well as our guests. I would highly recommend Harold for any special occasion.
Harold made the whole process so easy and was a pleasure to work with! He took control of the event in order to make sure we really got the best pictures possible. He was able to ...
manage getting pictures of all the bride’s and groom’s families- which are big and chaotic. He got every combination of families for the formal pictures. He was even good about getting pictures with and without girlfriends/boyfriends (just in case they’re not part of the family down the road). He was also able to capture some great candid shots (which were my personal favorites). He was attentive, punctual, calm, and very professional. He seems to really love what he does. It was 40 degrees outside and everyone was freezing, but he was great about making sure we got all our pictures taken without a complaint and even offered me (the bride) his jacket between pictures (so thoughtful!).
If you want a photographer that not only shoots amazing pictures but is easy to work with then I recommend Harold. He will work to give you the best package to fit your budget. He ...
has such an amazing personality that, by the end of the wedding, you'll want to invite him to your next cook out. He has a real eye for detail and will capture unique shots, but will take time to roll through the standard ones too. Rest assured that not a moment will be missed. Did I mention he also does drone shots. He got some of my wife and I at the falls near our venue.
My (now) husband and I first worked with Harold for our engagement shoot and we were immediately comfortable and confident in booking him for our big day! From the moment you meet ...
him, Harold radiates professionalism and positivity. He is beyond prepared with multiple top of the line cameras, lenses, equipment and lighting rigs that translate to STUNNING photos. You can immediately tell he has deep experience in the way he poses us for the shot and the dynamic he has with his team. I/ we never had to wonder how we were photographing. He makes the posed shots feel effortless and fun and can also capture the organic love and happiness of the occasion in the candids. DID I MENTION HE MADE A STARBUCKS RUN THE MORNING OF. He genuinely cares about his clients and wants them to be comfortable in and out of the frame and it shows.
I am so happy I decided to go with Harold for my photographer/videographer! Pictures are super important to me and they were all perfect. Pricing was also amazing for his photograp...
hy skills! Receiving the photos was also super fast, he even sent me a couple preview pictures! I definitely recommend Harold and his team! I still can’t get over how amazing all the pictures are.

I hired Harold for his videography services for my wedding. I'm so pleased with how my wedding video came out. It really tells a story and captures the magic of our day. In additio...
n to his talented eye, Harold was very friendly and accommodating. The day of the wedding he was on time, had great ideas for different shots and angles. I felt very comfortable working with Harold. He's got a sense of humor and can dance too! Harold worked well with other vendors such as my photographer, his assistant and my coordinators. Very easy to get along with and has a tremendous amount of talent in his work. He really captured my day just how I imagined it.
I hired Harold for my daughters christening and I absolutely recommend him. He was on time and very professional. The photos came out amazing and my daughter felt very comfortable ...
with him. Thank you Harold!
Where do I begin. Harold was AMAZING!! Harold really took control of the event in efforts to make sure we really got the best pictures possible. He was attentive, on time, and aggr...
essive enough to make sure everyone in the bridal party was doing what they were supposed to but ool enough for everyone to still love him ! He was genuinely there for our best interest and you can tell he loves what he does. It was 100 degrees outside or that’s what’s it felt like anyway in the middle of the day taking pictures, dressed in black and not for one second did he complain or cut our time short because of any sweating or being uncomfortable because god knows we were hot! Instead he made sure he got everything he needed and all the great shots that he thought were necessary to get to assure we have the best wedding photos we could possibly have. He was sensitive to the fact I didn’t want to spend my whole reception taking pictures, however made sure we got sunset pictures and some night time pictures and group family photos but not in an over whelming way. I felt trust in him and the way he was so into getting right angles and making sure little details like a car passing or a person out of place in the background, were out of the way. He was perfect, he made the day seem perfect and he was calm and stress free which made me calm and stress free. I would recommend Harold for ANY event you have because he is the ultimate photographer and really loves what he does. You won’t be disappointed !!!!!
Harold was AMAZING! I’m so greatful to have picked him to capture the love and happiness my family, friends as well as myself and husband had on this day. He took an unimaginable a...
mount of pictures (the more the better!). Harold was also very respectful to all that attended - my guests kept coming up to me telling me how great they thought he was. Thanks again Harold!
I had used other photographers before for multiple events, but when my wedding came around we decided to go with Harold and it was the best decision we ever made. Harold went abov...
e and beyond to make our experience, pictures and video exceptional. If you hire harold you would not regret it!
Now I will start by saying if you are even considering another photographer you are making a huge mistake. After my first meeting I knew I had made the right decision in hiring Har...
old for our wedding. He is so friendly & kind and truly cares about you and your dream for your wedding. In our first meeting he mentioned "if you need anything that day you let me know & I will take care of it. " Thinking he was joking, I jokingly said "all we're gonna need is a starbucks frap for me & a redbull for him and we'll be able to make it through the day" and wouldn't you know first thing when he got to us he really brought us our drinks! As well as asked if there was anything we needed or forgot and he would run to get it! They were so careful to help us pose each shot and make sure they got every moment of our day. Me and my mother were joking all day that they were nowhere yet everywhere. They weren't in the way of the moments at all yet every time we turned around they were making sure to get photos of everyone, cake, decorations, dancing, every photo we asked for and a million others. Every little detail & special moment of it they were there. And even helped me keep some secrets for a few surprises we had planned through the day. I cannot ever thank them enough for all the work they put in to making our wedding day such an amazingly perfect experience!
Harold is absolutely wonderful to work with. He is patient and instantly makes you comfortable in front of the camera. I would definitely recommend working with him - edits and cre...
ativity get 5 stars from me!
I’ll start by saying Harold is truly one of a kind! From the moment he arrived in the morning at our home he was ready to roll with asking if I needed anything, how was I feeling, ...
etc! The most wonderful thing about Harold is that you instantly feel comfortable with him, and you know you can trust him 100%. Every intentention of his is to make sure you as the bride (and groom) have NO worries whatsoever. We had an incident where we forgot important ceremony items back at the house and when my now husband called Harold hoping for his help he delivered immediately, no questions asked! What separates him from every other photographer is that he CARES! You aren’t just paying for photos, and video but along with that you get someone who is just amazing in every way. If there is anything you want / need trust me you will get it. I wanted bacon jerky and..... Harold showed up with not one, but two bags of it! I couldn’t even keep up with how many people came up to me to tell me how great he was, and that’s really saying something when many other people around notice. Harold and Jordan thank you so much for making our special day absolutely perfect, you have no idea how happy you made us!
Harold shot my wedding in August of 2012, and I couldn't be more pleased with the outcome. He was able to capture so many special moments, especially with my dad, who I lost shortl...
y afterwards. I look back on all of my photos often and I'm immediately brought back to that day. He was efficient and extremely professional, but still completely laid back and funny. He made everyone feel at ease and got our personalities to really come through in the photos. I'm so happy with everything! Harold's the best!
