Marquez Fotos

al was exactly what I wanted but couldn’t fully articulate. From our first consultation, he was warm, charismatic, and incredibly professional. He’d worked with our planner and at our venue before, which gave us so much confidence. Daniel went above and beyond even before the wedding. He helped us think through videographer options, reviewed our timeline in detail, and met with me a few days beforehand to talk through my “good side,” insecurities, and overall vibe. I felt completely comfortable with him - and I could tell he genuinely listened and kept those things in mind throughout the entire day. On the wedding day, both Daniel and Jazmin were fantastic. They were efficient, calm, respectful of private moments, and so good at giving natural direction. The portraits Jazmin took of my husband are unbelievable - truly frame-worthy. The two of them shoot so seamlessly together that our gallery feels cohesive and beautifully curated. Our preview gallery was delivered shockingly fast with way more photos than I expected. And now that we’ve seen the full gallery, I’m blown away all over again. The photos capture not just what the day looked like, but what it felt like. They caught the big moments, the tiny moments, and everything in between. If I could, I would hire Daniel and Jazmin for every major life event going forward. They’re that good. Warm, talented, detail-oriented, and an absolute joy to work with. I cannot recommend them enough.

azmin gave us great direction on different poses and found great locations for portraits, the first look, etc. We are absolutely obsessed with how our photos came out!

On the wedding day, he showed up early, was efficient, and extremely friendly. During pre-wedding photos, he helped pose us and made us look like we knew what we were doing! I have only received the previews so far (which came very quickly) but even from these, I cannot believe they are MY photos. My friends and family all mention how stunning they came out and how they look straight out of a magazine. We’ve got nothing but amazing feedback from everyone. Daniel and his assistant perfectly captured our fall aesthetic, Race + Religious unique vintage vibe, and seamlessly integrated into the wedding, getting shots that I had no idea were even possible! You could also tell they know the venue SO well! I relied on them to place us during first look, family shots, bridal party/groomsmen group pics, etc. They truly made the day flow easy with the experience at the venue.

the wedding, and we overall enjoyed the photos that we received (although, he did overly color edit some images which I will probably have to fix in photoshop)… but the real disappointment was the “wedding album” that he designed for over $700. If you, like me, expect to have an actual photo album for that cost, this is not it, and he also didn’t work with us at all on the album. The only collaborative part was picking up to 100 photos and then all of a sudden we received a finished album in the mail. We did not receive a proof or any way to check the design or photo selections before it was sent to print. He did say that not all the photos would be picked for the album, but 1) we expected to have a proof, so we could adjust if he missed a favorite, and 2) we didn’t expect only 63 photos out of 100 to be selected. He cut our selections almost in half without any input. This included cutting all but FOUR family portraits, so my own siblings are not even in this “wedding album”. There also was no way to indicate within the 100 that we picked which were essential for him to include. So how could he have known? I understand that this is his process, but to me it seems very rushed and formulaic. For $700 we assumed we would get a proof of the design, but also assumed the quality of the book itself would be good. The book itself is also a disappointment. It is only 13 pages, and even though it includes 63 photos, most of them are very small (like 2x3), so you can’t even see the details of the pictures. They are all just crammed in there. After emailing him to try to remedy the situation, he ignored me for two weeks and only responded after I sent a more upset email. He does not do refunds, and he would expect us to pay more for a redo. As people who are not particularly well off, we do not have the extra money to redo this or go get another one right away, as we splurged the first time thinking that a professional photographer would do it right. Only after going through this process did he say that this is really more of a “highlights of the day album” and not a full wedding album. Which was not something stated before. So save your money and, even if you use him for photos, if you want a real album, get it somewhere else. I’m very disappointed in his communication and process.
