I got quotes from more than 15 photographers. I started looking early enough, because photography was one of my top priorities as I'm very selective in terms of the style and quality, but I also did not have a huge budget. Jose fit perfectly. I... contacted him about 9 months prior to the wedding. Not only did I really like his photos, but he gave me a very good vibe when I spoke to him and provided more wedding photo samples from his collections for me to look at. At the time, he didn't even have the wedding wire profile, so, unlike most other photographers I contacted, I had little to go off of in terms of reviews and general client satisfaction. I'm happy I didn't let that deter me from choosing him. We reside out of state, and he was very accommodating with the date of our engagement shoot since we were traveling only for a weekend. We received those photos a few weeks later and we loved them! We had A LOT of photos and they were all corrected and edited appropriately.
On our wedding day, he went to the hotel to capture the "getting ready" portion as previously agreed. He got there on time and with a second shooter, Jessenia. They are friendly and easy-going people; easy to feel comfortable around them. To any couple getting ready for this, I highly recommend having your engagement session with the same photographer since that helps getting to know each other, instead of having a stranger in your room the day of. If you don't have that change, at least Jose would makes it easy and comfortable. Within a few days, I received all of the raw photos for me to review and make selections--the photos came out so good! Even the raw photos, so many don't even need to be touched any further. I'm extremely happy with everything about the services and products provided by Jose. He was very responsive, extremely professional, punctual, and committed to excellent quality. Can't beat that.
