Cesar was a pleasure to work with throughout the process. He was thoughtful on our shoot locations, timing, and brought abundant energy that all of our guests enjoyed. Post event, we got our proofs in a timely manner and our albums look incredible.
Cesar is the best!

Cesar and Lumo Studio was an essential part of our special day and captured it in the most timeless and authentic way. His professionalism and kindness from our first interaction put me at ease, he provided me with flexible options for our small wedding and was genuinely invested in helping me create wonderful memories. He was unfazed by the downpour of rain and converted it into a magical photoshoot with Mary. Their videography was PHENOMENAL, it captured the essence of who we are as a couple and all our family and friends on our wedding day. I gave no instructions on what kind of video I wanted and they knew exactly what to capture to showcase our special day in a way that we truly loved. The video brought my family and friends to tears. Two of my closest friends hired Cesar and were also extremely happy with their services. No need to keep looking Lumo Studio is the perfect combination of quality and price. Book them for your next event and you won't regret it!

I HIGHLY recommend Cesar as a wedding photographer. He went above and beyond throughout the day to capture every important moment. The photos turned out to be fantastic and he had them ready very soon after the wedding. 10/10 would choose Cesar to photograph my wedding if I had to do it again!

Cesar and his team are amazing. We had him take our Engagement photos in 2019 and they came out phenomenal so we hired him to do our wedding too. He and his team were so fun, they got involved in the party and on the dance floor and got the best shots of people having fun at our wedding. Very easy to work with and made our day that much more special. Quick turnaround on the photos as well!

We hired Lumo Studio for an event and could not have been happier!! Cesar took the time to understand our vision and execute it!!! He is patient and willing to listen and incorporate your ideas. His video and photography work were creative and innovative. He was able to capture all of the right moments and ALL OF THE REAL EMOTION. Since he delivered the final video, AHEAD of the expected time, we have watched it no less than 5 times a day, finding something new and exciting on each viewing. I think his #1 talent is making you feel like you are THERE: Reliving your memory, and the best parts of your event, over and over. I can't say enough positive things about this Studio. I am just LOOKING for an excuse to hire them again. Cesar, THANK YOU!!!

I had my wedding last month and I must say Cesar and his team did an amazing job.! They were very professional and outgoing making it so easy to work with them.
The quality of their work is impecable, they have great eye and wonderful ideas, they really capture the highlights of the day.! I received my preview two days after the wedding and everyone loved the pictures, people usually wait over a month to get their pictures but LumoBox provides a preview within few days so we can share them with our loved ones. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a photographer and a videographer not only for weddings but for any occasion their work is exceptional and you will not be disappointed with the results.
Thanks LumoBox for giving us a perfect wedding memory.!

Love them!
My wedding day finally came and I couldn't be happier than this, ever. I had the luck and opportunity to find LumoStudio to capture those beautiful moments for me and my lovely husband. I personally am so shy when it comes to pictures but Cesar made me feel comfortable with and I ended up posing for pics and I loved the results. The pictures came out beautiful. My friends were amazed by how friendly Cesar was with the whole family and close friends. He is very talented, patient, and very creative. He clearly loves what he does. He works with a very responsible team. He was available on the phone, emails, and meetings anytime we had questions. The preview was sent to us while we were still on our honeymoon, which was right away. We didn't wait too long to receive the rest of the pictures. We booked the videography package, as well. We loved working with Cesar, David, and Mary.
I highly recommend LumoStudio to capture your special day.
Regards,
Kelly & James.

Lumo Studio,
It was a pleasure to work with LumoStudio. Finding a wedding photographer and videographer for my Long Island wedding was one of my top priorities.
I love taking pictures and videos and I knew I needed to find a company that would be able to capture the most magical day of our lives. My husband and I found Lumo Studio and we were happy throughout the ENTIRE process. They always responded to any texts and emails right away and made sure we were happy with our pictures. We received a preview of our pictures just 2 days after our wedding, which was stunning. The efficiency is a plus for especial events as your wedding day.
Cesar was extremely talented, kind, and down-to-earth. He arrived on time for our meetings and on the wedding day. He is so relaxed and calm, which was very important for us.
Everything was beautiful. We are so glad we chose LumoStudio and highly recommend them.
Marie and Chris
