We couldn't be happier with the photography and videography services we received for our wedding! From the very beginning, the team was professional, organized, and so easy to work with. They made us feel comfortable in front of the camera and captured every moment with such creativity and care.
The photos turned out absolutely stunning—every smile, tear, and joyful moment was preserved beautifully. And the video? It was cinematic, emotional, and perfectly told the story of our day. We've watched it so many times already and still get chills!
They truly went above and beyond to make sure nothing was missed. Our family and friends have been raving about how amazing everything looks. If you're looking for a photo and video team that combines talent, passion, and professionalism, look no further. Highly recommended!

Incredible talent and attention to detail! Luis Vargas truly went above and beyond to capture my daughter’s wedding day beautifully. At Church of the Little Flower, where strict rules kept photographers away from the altar, he found creative solutions—like placing a small microphone inside my son-in-law’s tuxedo to capture the vows perfectly. The photos are stunning, and his professionalism made everything smooth and stress-free. We are so grateful for these memories that will last a lifetime!

Even though our ceremony was small, intimate and short, Luis was able to wonderfully capture everything we lived that day. The pictures and the video to this day still bring tears to my eyes! Everything from the preparations to the album was beautiful.

Luis did a fabulous job for the July wedding in Key West. I wanted some great family pictures but the wedding itself was more casual. I was blown away by the finished product. I would recommend Luis to anyone who needs a photographer in South Florida!

WOW!!!! I was very impressed with Luis and his team, they showed up early and ready to get started and had no issues coordinating with my planner. They captured all of the big moments and were so on top of it, even with my chaotic family members. Very sweet and easy to work with, I would recommend Luis to any bride wanting a good team and great deal!

Working with Luis as our photographer for our June wedding was incredible! From the very first phone call and throughout the entire planning process, Luis was prompt with answering any of my messages. Our wedding was photographed perfectly. Luis was punctual, creative, and personable. He was able to capture every special moment for us.

Luis did a wonderful job! My husband and I had a small surprise wedding ceremony in Key West. Luis drove down from Miami and was such a pleasure to work with! We received our photos very quickly (less than a month) and were thrilled. I would highly recommend him! So thankful to have these amazing pictures to look back on and remember our epic wedding weekend!!

Luis came and started with the guys getting ready, he was right on time and very professional, he always wanted to get the best shot possible and he got a bunch of great ones! He then went to bride's room and was the exact same way. From there he followed us all over the place, from the hotel, to the church, to outside the hotel, to the reception... Literally everywhere and even when we had some logistic issues, he was very professional and kept his cool. And when the hotel allowed us 30 extra minutes to the party, Luis even stayed late. Thank you Luis for all of your hard work, you helped make our wedding so much easier and far more memorable.

Our venue recommended Luis to us. We never met him in person before our wedding day but did speak to him a few times on the phone. On our wedding day I was very nervous as any bride usually is. The minute Luis walked in with his crew and they started taking pictures I felt more at ease. They were so easy to work with. They understood exactly what I wanted and everything just flowed perfectly. After the ceremony we had to take more family pictures than planned and Luis just handled everything so great. I highly recommend Luis and his team for your wedding or any special event where you are looking to have pictures and videography.

Luis made the process of working together very easy, despite our wedding ceremony being postponed one year due to the pandemic. He was as invested as we were in understanding our wedding photography priorities, which were creating beautiful sunflower engagement and wedding ceremony photos that will last just as long as our marriage… Forever! Great photographer all around! #ToomersTieTheKnot🌻💙🌻

Luis was the photographer for my daughter’s wedding in Miami. He also did her beautiful engagement photos on Miami Beach. His photography is stunning! The photos will be long treasured.
He was easy to work with, rescheduled twice due to COVID, and was unobtrusive. The video he and his partner made was simply wonderful. We LOVE watching it.
He shares the photos digitally as well as the video. We were lucky to find him.

Luis is everything you would ever want in a photographer, and then some. He is talented, professional, punctual. Calm, cool, collected. Listens and knows how to give direction. Understanding. Positive energy. From our first meeting, I knew he was the right fit for us. I was looking for someone who my now husband would be able to get along with and that I would feel good with all day. Luis was it. He can make anyone feel comfortable with getting photos taken. He brings out the best in you. Has good ideas. He fades into the background. I looked at my photo gallery and honestly couldn't believe he had captured every single detail from every angle without anyone even noticing him. We did our engagement photos with him and asked him to take photos during our wedding rehearsal brunch - both great ideas so he could get to know us as a couple and get to know our family. He also arranged for videographer and a photo booth. I look forward to tapping Luis again in the future for milestone moments and will happily refer him to anyone. I promise you won't be disappointed. - Ana & Mike + Coffey, a very Happy Bride & Groom + Pup

Luis was a great photographer for my engagement photos. I was visiting South Florida on a vacation and asked Luis a week out if he had time to fit us in for a shoot after having a last minute idea to do them during our vacation. He showed up promptly, had great ideas, and the photos came out beautifully! We are so happy with the result! He also made us feel very comfortable after this being our first photoshoot!

Luis and his team were absolutely amazing!!! He showed up to do me and my bridesmaids getting ready, as well as the men. Then he went to the venue and took pictures, then took pictures of me as I entered (I was in a carriage), then me walking down the aisle, then after all the MOST BEAUTIFUL pictures of our party and family.
He and his team also captured some more at our dinner with out first dance.
I have the best pictures I could have never imagined.
I HIGHLY recommend him and his team! They are amazing.

We could not be happier with the quality of pictures, the attention to detail, and the ability to meet and exceed our expectations for capturing our wedding day! Luis was very professional, and catered to our request of photos by group & family. He is very friendly, cordial, and his staff is just as pleasant! They really did an amazing job, taking pictures and capturing video for our wedding highlight which was also AWESOME! Thank you very much Luis for preserving our wedding moments for a life time to come.

It was amazing working with Luis. He is punctual, professional and really knows what he is doing with the camera. All our engagement and wedding pictures are a dream came true. The video was something else too. Seeing our pictures and video made us tear up because all the most beautiful details that we didn’t even imagine were caught by Luis and his team they surely caught them in the right moment and so natural. Their work is amazing and personally will be my photographer for all special occasions from now on. Speaking about prices his work is affordable and it does pay off when you see the magic he does. I can recommend Luis Vargas with my eyes close.

Luis and his assistant were so easy going from the moment we reached out. He had several reasonable packages. The quality of the photos far exceeded my expectations. I loved the lighting that was used and highly recommend you book the package that comes with an assistant photographer. Even during the evening the photos came out amazing. I also love how he sent the teasers in within a few weeks. Many wedding photographers don't send photos until 6-7 weeks after the wedding. Highly recommend!

We eloped on 1/2/21 and Luis MADE our day. We had originally booked him for our larger pre-covid wedding and when the times changed and downsizing to an elopement was necessary, we still knew we wanted the best photos and stuck with him. Best decision. He’s responsive, personable, a problem solver and provides true artistic photography. The photos were given back to us timely and were absolutely breathtaking, our family/friends are still complimenting it. Although it was a simple elopement, he gave us the grand treatment and the photos really show it. Definitely recommend and will for sure be using again for other events in the future.

The moment we met Luis, we knew he would be the perfect photographer for us. He is extremely patient which is the best quality in a photographer. From our engagement pictures to our wedding day, Luis was always in touch with us. He is very professional, a great listener and was always on time. We got teasers rather quickly and the outcome was just amazing. Our photos were just outstanding and a dream come true. You can tell how hard he works by the beauty of his photographs. I would recommend him over and over again with no hesitation.

We could not be happier by having Luis Vargas as our photographer at our wedding. This review may seem a bit late as our wedding was in January 2020, but I thought we had already provided a review. Better late than never! He was so patience, delicate and into details! I was running a little late, but he never rushed my makeup artist, instead took advantage and took thorough photos of my process to becoming a beautiful bride! The results after the wedding were phenomenal and my husband and I were in love with his artistic eye! I totally recommend him!

The moment my fiancé (now husband) and I met Luis we felt instantly at ease. We had a very long wedding day with 3 venues, a Catholic mass and a 6 hour cocktail/reception and we wanted to find the right photographer to document our entire day. Luis was extremely accommodating and offered us an all day package that included all the personnel we needed to get the photo and video shots we wanted. When the day came, my mom and aunts could not stop raving about how nice Luis and his team were. We just got our teasers and they are STUNNING. It’s truly a blessing to find such talented and decent people in Miami! We 11/10 recommend Luis and his team for!

Luis was a pleasure to work with from start to finish! My husband and I are not used to being in front of the camera but made our shoot a breeze! His rates were amazing! We could not have a wedding due to COVID-19 so we decided to do a bridal shoot. He guided us every step of the way and I just love our photos. He was also so patient with me every time I needed a break as I was sweating since Miami was 95+ that day! Would highly recommend.

We were so fortunate to have Luis Photography for our wedding in January. From the moment my husband and I met him, there was an instant ease and comfortable energy. I was excited when my husband, who had been very easy going with the planning phase, didn't really had any set opinions on anything, had the same first impression I had - As we were walking out of our first meeting with Luis, he turns to me and says," He was cool, let's go ahead and book him today". Without hesitation we proceeded to book him and so glad we did! Luis was very receptive to any questions or concerns I had leading up to our wedding, always a quick email and text away. The day of the wedding he was punctual and so sweet and patient during the prepping portion of the day. His attention to detail was so evident and beautiful once we received our pictures. During the ceremony and wedding... he was amazing! I later told him he was a Ninja! So many shots he captured we had nooo clue he was right there! He worked seamlessly throughout the entire ceremony and venue capturing so many special moments. When we received our pictures we were over the moon! We are so blessed to have Luis capture our special day. His talent, sweet demeanor and professionalism is exceptional.

This review is slightly overdue but that does not take away from how amazing of a job Luis did capturing our special day in key west for our June wedding. Luis was detailed and always available for any questions we had throughout the process. He did not rush at all and was with us from start to finish on our wedding day. There was not one moment he did not capture and he does incredible sunset pictures. Many have commented on a couple of his pictures thinking it belongs in bridal magazine. I can’t say enough good things with respect to his professionalism and keen eye for picture perfect moments. We will remember our big day forever thanks to Luis!

He made sure to capture every detail of our wedding which we will always treasure. Nothing was ever too much trouble. We were always able to call, text, or email with any questions we had. I can't say enough as to how happy we are. We look forward to capturing more memories soon!

I appreciated Luis professionalism and determination to get the most beautiful angles. He captured pictures that made our bridal party look like glamorous old Hollywood. The time he took in advance to prepare for the wedding all the way to weeks after the wedding Luis was easy to communicate with and responded to our questions timely. As our family and friends review the pictures, the same reaction we get from everyone is, “Who took your pictures? They look like they should be in a magazine!” Thank you for capturing the most perfect day in our lives.

I am SO happy that I chose Luis Vargas Photography as my wedding photographer! I researched plenty, spoke to different photographers, got different quotes, browsed through social media, and then I found him. His work speaks for itself but behind the beautiful images is his professionalism, attention to detail, and flexibility with the entire process from quote request to engagement shoot, and wedding day and delivery. I received my wedding photos today and I had to make time to write this review and recommend him because of his amazing work. Thank you for capturing the most special day of our lives, Luis!

Luis is extremely professional from the moment I met him at his house to view his work and packages to the end of the wedding night. He was able to capture special moments that I thought weren't possible. His website is very easy to handle payments, add information about the wedding day, and find your pictures at the end. I looked at several different photographers and their prices just didn't match their work and reviews. Luis is the complete opposite! Very affordable and the quality of pictures and experience you get is phenomenal. Thank you Luis for working with us and making our day so special!

I would like to start by saying that first time I saw Luis work was for my sister wedding and I loved it. Luis is just amazing and he loves what he does and that project in his work. My husband & I were a bit nervous for our photoshoot and Luis was so patience with us and made us feel very comfortable. I recommend him 100%. A bigger plus is that he always answer his email, calls or text. There was not once that I wasn’t able to get in touch with him and he would always answer any question or concerned I had. Again thank you Luis.

What I have to say about Luis is nothing short of awesome. Luis from the start was responsive, patient and kind. He responded to my emails in less than 24 hours, was very helpful in helping select a location for our engagement shoot and he met our needs. He was patient with me as I was a bride that was losing her mind doing all the planning by herself. On the day of my wedding, Luis and his team were prompt and made it all happen without hesitation. They were never in the way but still managed to capture the moment so perfectly beautiful. Thank you, Luis, my special day was possible with you!

If you’re looking for someone to capture your special day with the utmost quality, patience, professionalism and just the passion for what he does then Luis is the man for you ! As an any future bride I browsed many photographers on social media (Instagram) and for some reason every picture that I fell in love with were shot by Luis. I loved the brightness, details, and the quality of his work. I emailed Luis and he replied promptly. I do not consider myself photogenic what so ever and when Luis captured our engagement pictures I couldn’t even just chose one I loved all of them. Luis made me feel comfortable and gave us direction when needed. Not to mention how quickly our pictures were ready! Fast forward to our wedding day and Luis worked his magic the ENTIRE day, I was actually falling behind on our schedule and at no moment did Luis rush me with pictures, instead everything was at ease. I’m so glad that I chose Luis Vargas to be our photographer. It’s only been a week since my wedding date and I already received a couple of teasers from him and I didn’t even ask him! He really values his clients and we’ve found our go to photographer !!

I chose Luis as my photographer based off of his “The Knott “reviews and reviewing photos from his previous wedding photo shoots. My husband and I never did a practice shoot with him or met him until the day of our wedding. All communication prior was through email or text (my preference). All communications we’re professional, his pricing was reasonable, and as it got closer to the wedding he inquired about exactly what we wanted through a questionare he provides. We also had a post wedding shoot, which I highly recommend, because the day of the wedding is so hectic! It is nice to just relax and take photos after the fact! We just got our photos back and are beyond happy with Luis’s work! Thank you Luis Vargas Photography for capturing our special day and giving us amazing photos to cherish for a lifetime!

I found Luis through one of my mutual friend's Instagram profile. His work speeches for itself, it is beautiful and professional. I loved that all his pictures, once I saw online that they were different and unique to each couple, that made my decision easy. He really gets to know the couple and finds the best pictures depending on your style, taste, and of course your requests. He is fantastic to work with, I have no complains. He is on time and very good at getting back to you if you have any questions or concerns. I would highly recommend Luis and I will certainly keep him in mind for future professional photographs. Thank you for the great work!
