Loreto Caceres Photography

ely beautiful. I couldn't be happier having worked with her.

her images stunning, but she makes you feel so comfortable and beautiful on the big day. We can't say enough amazing things about our wedding photos- they are truly the best! She also recommended a videographer and they worked seamlessly together. I would highly recommend Loreto for your wedding or any big event. Loved our whole experience!!

magic and moments of our day perfectly. Loreto was super professional, punctual and provided the best advice on how to have your day run smoothly. We would love the opportunity to work with Loreto again and cannot recommend her highly enough. You will LOVE your wedding photos for years to come.

orial perspective. She also did a good balance of black & white and color, and her editing is very natural. I couldn't be happier with how they turned out, and I've had all of my friends and coworkers from the fashion industry ask for her information. On a personal level, Loreto was so easy to work with, I would have invited her to my wedding as a guest by the time we were done working together. I honestly don't know what I would have done without her as a bride because I was asking her questions like- when do I hold my bouquet in photos? When do I wear my veil? Can you help drape my train? She was the personal bridal stylist that I didn't know I needed. Also her direction that she gives during shooting is so easy to follow and again so natural. Loreto is the best there is!

d us to relax and enjoy our families. Her personality vibed well with us as a couple as well as our family, everyone really enjoy having her part of the group. She was also able to help manage a large group of people in a seamless way and get great images of the group! Loreto really understood the images we wanted to capture and even though it was freezing she was amazing and captured our day perfectly. At our dinner party reception, it was like she wasn't even there, she was able to captured amazing moments and her documentary style really shined! She is super professional and was on time with the preview images and the whole gallery which we really appreciated. She also sent us a USB with all the images which we loved! We would hire Loreto again in a heartbeat!

- which is really important for the flow of your day. Her and her assistant found a way to capture the sweetest candid moments throughout the night without even knowing they were there. The quality of work is over the top and if you're a fan of black and white photos like I am, you'll love Loreto!

for a photographer was to feel like we would get along well and that it would almost feel like they weren't there, but still capturing all of the best candid moments. Loreto did all of that and more! She captured our day so beautifully, we are still getting compliments on our photos. She was so easy going and easy to work with. She was flexible with our time difference and using Facetime to chat in advance. And she gave us gave us good direction day of (what do I do with my hands?? ha). I would highly recommend Loreto for your wedding photography!

n the day-of, and made sure we captured the photos we all knew we wanted but was never an intrusion or imposition. As for the photos themselves, we thought they turned out spectacularly. Would recommend to anyone.

le unorganized. She kept up with all of my questions, was patient with my requests and made everyone feel at ease. We used her for our engagement photos as well, which are magazine worthy and were actually featured by Black Bride and Munaluchi Bridal online. The initial sampling of our wedding photos are also out of this world! Loreto has a way of capturing the moment in a way where you can feel the energy and emotion through the photo. It's not overly posed, but is creatively composed, which I absolutely love.

ur most special day. The photos she delivered are absolutely stunning and better than anything we ever could’ve imagined... even considering the months and months I had been stalking, I mean, following Loreto’s work online and fawning over it. We continue to receive countless compliments from every single person who lays eyes on our photos, and rightfully so! Truly, what’s so special about Loreto that we love and what really sets her apart from the sea of talented wedding photogs out there are a few things: From my day 1 outreach to today, post-wedding, Loreto has consistently been the most responsive, professional, timely, organized Creative I’ve ever known! She is highly collaborative and listens honestly to your input on how you envision your day’s photos, your concerns, insecurities, etc. She is, also, extremely helpful in lending her advice and pro opinions. Loreto genuinely wants to be on the same page with you while ensuring throughout the process that you are happy and comfortable. Off the bat, her effortless, quiet confidence will put you at ease and make it clear that she really knows her stuff! Both my husband and I are a bit awkward in front of the camera lens but Loreto’s fly-on-the-wall approach to how she photographs couples/weddings, in their true element, really drew out some precious moments between us newlyweds and overall. It all just felt so natural, having Loreto there doing her thing, even the more “formal” family portrait shots were not at all “pose-y”. Another thing worth mentioning about Loreto is something that goes far beyond her out-of-this world talent and passion for her craft- it’s, simply, her! She is the realest chick you’ll ever meet, she is cool and kind and fun and authentic. She’s the kind of girl who you feel like you’ve known forever and can totally just be yourself with. She really goes above and beyond to be flexible to your wants and needs, and nothing with her feels transactional but rather- you can actually feel the heart that goes into everything surrounding her work. She is, simply put, AMAZING. We only wanted to work with nice people/vendors for our wedding and she’s just that. Her talent and work, without a question, speaks for itself! Hands down, with Loreto steering the process, the entire experience was so seamless and stress-free! One of the best choices we made in our wedding planning... and we have the pics to prove it!!! Enlisting her should be a NO BRAINER. Do it! You don’t regret it for a second, I can promise you.

h she captures it makes you feel very comfortable and at ease. Loreto is such a talented photographer and we feel so fortunate to have worked with her!

photographer for us. Her warmth really helps out camera shy people like myself and my husband feel more at ease. Her direction and ideas were great, her communication is excellent, and the photos are just stunning! Loreto is truly a gem.

She was extremely patient and had great input when compiling a shot list. It’s an overwhelming time and having her help really made a huge difference. You knew anytime speaking with her she knew what she was doing and made you feel even more comfortable that she was the right person for the job. The day of the wedding Loreto really did a great job making everyone feel comfortable and captured truly great moments that we still laugh at looking back at them today. You could tell she did her homework because places that we didn’t think/know of that were in the area of our photos she led us to for a few extra shots that came out beautiful. We are really so glad that Loreto was our photographer and know that these photos are something we will cherish for a very long time. Anybody looking for a photographer should check out her work, you will not be disappointed.

fect for the job. She was warm and kind, and always professional and respectful. She asked us questions about our style and our relationship and really listened. It was evident that she works hard to get to know each couple prior to working with them, in order to develop a finished product that they are happy with. We also loved her style after viewing her work. Overall, she prefers to capture human emotion as it occurs naturally in the moment, rather than forcing it for photographs. The most important thing of all to us though was that she made us feel comfortable. She even happily agreed to travel to our favorite spot in upstate New York to do our engagement shoot last fall, on what ended up being one of the coldest days of the year. She was such a trooper! All day Loreto continued to check in and kept us laughing. She maintains communication prior to the wedding day, and fields any questions you have in a timely manner. When our big day finally came, Loreto blended right in with our family and friends, and again, continuously checked in to make sure we were feeling okay. She has this energy about her that makes you feel instantly calm, and several times throughout the day, whenever I began to feel anxious, Loreto would somehow make me smile and feel at ease again. Everyone in our wedding party raved about her and how wonderful she was. We just received our wedding photos and are blown away. My father-in-law, who enjoys taking photos himself as a hobby, even said that they were the "best photographs he has ever seen in his life." We cannot recommend her enough to anyone looking for a wedding photographer. THANK YOU, Loreto, for capturing so many special moments of our wedding day. We are forever grateful that we found you.

on the wedding morning, helping me to decide on some of the finer details of the day itself . The guests all commented how great she was to be around too! Thanks Loreto for giving us such amazing memories!

ur wedding. She was very professional, early to every meeting, and responsive to our concerns. When the day before, the weather forecast showed 100% rain for our wedding day, she hopped on the phone with me and walked through a Plan B. She arrived early the day of the wedding to scope out new spots to shoot in the rain. Most importantly, Loreto has a great eye and her work is stunning. Our photographs are absolutely beautiful and we have gotten far-reaching compliments on our photos from people we don’t even know (friends of friends). When I saw the photos of our guests faces during the speeches and ceremony, I was just blown away. I am extremely picky, and I had trouble narrowing down the photos to be included in our album because I loved so many of them. We’re so grateful to Loreto for capturing our day. Can’t recommend her enough!

o life our wedding day when we opted not to do videography -- all while feeling authentic to the moment and not over-the-top or too "instagram-y". After scouring the internet, we finally stumbled across Loreto's portfolio and felt like we hit the jackpot. Her work immediately made you feel something. We were attracted to the balance in her styles, all capturing every magical moment as a couple solidifies their partnership and with an artistic, documentarian feel. Our process connecting with Loreto was smooth and immediately put us at ease -- she was relatable, responsive, personable / laid back, flexible, and as we were speaking about our venues, plans, and story, you could just see her immediately brainstorming unique ways to bring our story to life. We opted to do a civil ceremony and then a marriage celebration six months apart, with no engagement session in between. We were nervous about having our first run be our official wedding day, but the experience and the photos could not have turned out better. They were all so full of love -- between my husband and me, between our families -- and we were so thankful to have had Loreto capture our family assembling in our living room, our first look, the windy trek to City Hall, and the sheer ecstasy of getting hitched! She put us at ease with posing, making sure we just acted like ourselves and she just captured the love and joy. Our wedding celebration in downtown NYC was even more magical -- she combined our love of the city with incredible backgrounds, cool juxtapositions, and hilarious dance-floor candids. She navigated our families really well, and went above-and-beyond to make us happy. As we move forward in our lives, we'll continue to turn to Loreto to capture those special moments in our life, and feel so lucky we found such a gem!

othly without Loreto's knowledge of the civil ceremony process, adaptability to changing locations, and quick communication. Loreto's work speaks for itself. The number of compliments we've received about our photos is staggering (Seriously, I've never had so many random people Direct Message me on Instagram) She goes above and beyond. Loreto kept us at ease when almost every wedding snafu was thrown our way and stress was high. When the sub-zero temperatures made it impossible to get a lot of the outdoor shots planned, Loreto went to our location hours earlier and found a shop owner who agreed to let us use the space after closing. And these ended up being our favorite shots! Not to mention, she also recommended our DJ to us who was equally as awesome as well as manned our GIF photo booth. Loreto is a photo ninja. She has this uncanny ability to direct lots of moving parts and personalities while somehow remaining behind the scenes. Our photos are EPIC. From our portraits to our party photos, each is more gorgeous than the next. She captured not only our best sides but unexpected, beautiful, and intimate moments of friends and family. Loreto for president! I frequently find myself gushing about how amazing Loreto is to newly engaged friends, acquaintances, and now, apparently, strangers. I've never written an online review in my life but I also never imagined becoming such a fan of one of our wedding vendors. We can't thank (or recommend!) Loreto enough.

n to be around! We're so happy we chose Loreto and highly recommend her for any event!

up to the wedding and not just by email but text and calls as well. We also shot our pre-wedding pictures with her and she was just a dream to work with. My fiance is not keen on having his pictures taken and he opened up so much to her because she is just that down to earth and special. She takes her time and delivers amazing shots, most importantly it is as personal as it can get with her. I know first hand how important it is to have one of your vendors actually care about you and your partner, always checking up to make sure everything is going as planned. The day of our Wedding was hectic and Loreto brought peace to the whirlwind of things, she was calm collective and reassuring. If I can do it over again she would still be the Photographer that I choose. Let's get to the QUALITY of her work, it's SEAMLESS. She takes her time and delivers such beautiful photos that tell stories not just a moment it's so much more. You are a lucky bride if you get to book this little lady on your wedding day. Trust me when I say you will want her to capture other moments of your life besides your wedding, that's how good she is!!!!!! If you are getting married work with a Photographer like Loreto who takes her time to deliver not only photographs but an actual EXPERIENCE. I went through the wedding already and I know big companies are not what they seem, they lack personality and personal communication. Working with Loreto gives you her in totality. All of her time, effort, emotion, genuine friendliness, communication everything you can't dream of because she surpasses your expectations. You need this girl to capture your day!!!

to mention, the photos are absolutely beautiful, exactly what we wanted. She also managed to somehow be everywhere during the wedding and reception without being noticed, which led to some amazing candid shots of ourselves, our friends, and our families. I'm so grateful for the beautiful memories she captured of our day, and know we will cherish these photos forever. Thanks so much Loreto!

was very important to us and what drew us to her work above others was her ability to capture candid emotions throughout the day. She has an incredible eye for editorial photographs that record the moment and tell a story without feeling overly staged or unnatural. Loreto did an engagement shoot with us prior to the wedding. It was great practice and she made us feel very comfortable in front of the camera. We were so happy with those photographs and couldn't wait to see what she would do on our wedding day. Leading up to the wedding she was very organized, having us think through all of the shots we wanted on the day. On the wedding day she and her second shooter were amazing. They were not at all obtrusive and when it came to the few formal portraits they kept things moving along quickly and efficiently. Our entire family loved working with her. It was a bonus that she had shot a wedding at our venue before so she was familiar with the space and knew the shots she wanted. When we got the pictures back we were completely blown away. She had summed up the day perfectly and we couldn't be more pleased with our photographs. We highly recommend working with Loreto- she is a true talent!

e to capture all these just as I hoped for. Our portraits came out great, they were whimsical and looked like we were lost in a forest of greenery. On a business side, she has been very professional right from the proposal phase and has been very easy to work with before/after the event. I highly recommend working with her!

nd knew exactly what I wanted. She asked me every moment I wanted captured, but it didn't even make a difference, because she truly captured every moment beautifully! I never felt rushed and pressured or forced into taking pictures. She is also super sweet, and very easy to work with. My photos came out artistic, many of them are candid, and there are black and white photos as well which is exactly what I wanted. If you are looking for professional artistic wedding photos, she is incredible. I can't recommend her enough!!!
