PGLPhotography & Pix in a Box

o find beautiful impromptu shots out of his surroundings. He was professional with us, our guests, and vendors and was an absolute joy to work with. In addition, his photobooth offering was a hit with our guests, and the Pix in a Box comes with an awesome custom-made wood cut scrapbook that works as a perfect memento of our celebration. We highly recommend Paul and PGL Photography for your needs, you will not regret it.

a hard time picking out which ones to frame because there are so many gems. We look forward to working with him for our second ceremony in 2021 and strongly recommend him.

did our engagement photos, my bridals, and our wedding. We couldn't of gone with a better choice. The photobooth option he offers is a must have! All of our guests had so much fun with it! He is super quick to get back with photos as well. We even received a sneak peak just days after the wedding. I could go on and on but his photos speak for themselves, I am in love with every single one.

hen planning a wedding. I can't say enough great things about this talented photographer and all around great guy. You won't go wrong choosing him!

ocation we picked was too far of a drive for him (actually even farther for us) and apparently based on my requests and images I sent him, he didn’t feel like he would be the type of photographer we are searching for?! The photos I sent were suggestions of photos that I liked and of other couples that had taken their engagement photos. Instead of embracing the idea of a new place or even giving us the opportunity to look at a different place, Paul just quits. We have had him booked him since January. It was very unprofessional, so insensitive and so abrupt especially during this time of the unknown with COVID. I was so upset that my fiance responded back to him and all he could say was "thank you for your input". I would've never expected this to be handled in this manner.

g day can be, he put ourselves, our family and our friends at ease. The photos we received greatly exceeded our expectations (which were already very high). One moment in which confirmed we made the right choice in choosing him was when a thick fog rolled over our wedding. He used this to his advantage and captured some stunning photos which blew our minds. The days following the wedding, our guests were referring to him on a first name basis. He truly helped make our wedding extra special. His creativity with everything he does continuously leaves me speechless. In addition to photography, Paul also does custom woodworking designs ( album covers, cake toppers, chair signs, etc). He created some truly beautiful designs for us which we will cherish for years to come. In summary, Paul is pretty much a mythical creature brought into existence to make us all very happy. If your worries for good pictures can be represented as a bull, Paul is the matador - snapping photos with agility and grace in the arena of professional photography. NONE EQUAL HIM! We love you Paul!

gagement session and wedding day photos felt natural and low pressure during what is obviously a high stress time. He went above and beyond in all aspects for our big day making us feel like we were his number one priority even though he had dozens of other sessions going on during the summer months. Not only did my husband and I enjoy working with Paul, our entire family did as well— including my dad & father-in-law who usually despise pictures and my new sister-in-law who got engaged shortly after our big day and immediately knew she would use Paul for her photography needs. While Paul primarily photographs engagements and weddings at this time we hope to continue to use him as we move forward in life with pregnancy, kids, family portraits, etc because he is just that FANTASTIC.

er. I can’t even express how thankful I am that Paul was so fun and easy to be around. He seriously made the night! On top of the fact that we loved him, we have had several guests reach out to say how much they enjoyed having him around! Highly recommend hiring him!

earch before I engaged any services we needed. Picking Paul to cover both of our events was, by far, the BEST decision made. He was attentive, forward thinking, confident, and his ability to 'carefully catch just that exact moment' was astounding. He adds personal touches in his offerings that I have found no equivalent to anywhere else. Looking for that "Right Photographer"? Search no farther - PGL is the one you can trust.

uly are. He does wood work as well, and brought some AMAZING gifts including ornaments, a hanger, and a sign for our house! He always made us feel like we were the most important couple ever and we are so grateful to have met him. He should seriously charge way more than he does for his services considering how much you get and what an awesome person provides the service!

and, who hates photographers and pictures, was blown away by him. Pix in a box is the best photobooth ever! Every person gets a print (immediately after taking the picture) and the bride/groom get a beautiful handmade photobook with all the prints in it and people can write you notes! It is a great keepsake. Plus you get all the pictures from the photobooth digitally. He was the only person, who was SO WELL PRICED, who printed out pictures for everyone, and gave you all the digital copies. He is also super talented and can make anything from wood. Check out his etsy stuff PaulsWoodStock. He takes requests too if you don't see something on his page you want. I wanted a wooden cake topper made, and it was just perfect! Paul took amazing pictures for my bridals and I can't wait to see the wedding photos. You won't be disappointed with Paul's photography and his Pix in a box. He is every bride's dream.

our vendors. He is not only a great photographer but a great person. He went above and beyond expectations and his work is excellent. He also takes into account what you would like to do for your pictures. From the time of our engagement pictures to our wedding day, everything went smoothly and he was on top of everything from the beginning to the end. We also opted for the Pix in a Box which was great and our guests loved leaving a message in our photo book. He also gave us a personal gift to take home, which was so nice. I give the highest recommendation for PGL Photography :)

in two hours of the inquiry with a run down of his services. He’s super personable, so humble and a genuinely kind-hearted person. He made me and my wedding party super comfortable the entire day. My husband and I do not consider ourselves photogenic people but he gave us plenty of direction and our pictures came out AMAZING! He sent me my bridal pictures preview later that SAME DAY and the whole bridal session album in TWO DAYS. You get so much for his price! Some photographers want to keep the rights to the pictures they take but he gives you everything from the whole day. He also made our custom cake topper! There honestly isn’t anything bad I can say about him!

s sparkling personality made our engagement and wedding day shoots really easy to do (this is coming from a couple who has never done professional portraits before). One other understated element of his creative work is his woodworking. The custom signs and guest book really brought our rustic wedding to life. He has an etsy store for this. Check it out! You won’t regret it.

onable for the slightly nervous bride! I would use him again 50 times over! I always looked for this line in reviews when I was vendor shopping so here it is: STOP SEARCHING! Pick PGL photography!

er. I knew nothing about photography, but I did know that I wanted someone who was talented, reasonably priced, and someone who was going to make me feel very comfortable while capturing these precious moments. WIth Paul, we got all of this AND SO MUCH more. Paul is a very down to earth person, who is honest, respectful, and so much fun to be around. When we first met at my bridal shoot, it was only about five shots in before I felt so comfortable and relaxed. My mom, sisters, and I left with great feelings and high expectations for the photos, but when we got the bridals back, we were truly blown away. My bridals were exactly what I had been picturing in my head. For him to bring that to reality, I knew my wedding was in good hands. When it came to the wedding day, not only did he make my husband and I feel comfortable, but my guests couldn't stop raving about how awesome our photographer was! The groomsmen treated him like "one of the guys", my bridesmaids complimented him all night, and my family loved the way he interacted with them throughout the evening. He was always there, yet never in the way. On top of that, his photo booth is W O N D E R F U L! Guests were entertained all night with his props, backdrop, photo book, and awesome atendant. (and the pricing is some of the most reasonable out there!) When the night was over, I couldn't wait to receive the pictures. We got them back in a very short amount of time, and once again, I was amazed. He listened to every word I said. He captured all the little details, every special moment, and even some moments that I never knew happened! The quality of his photos are beautiful, and his sunset photos will bring you to happy tears. We are in love with the outcome. If you are looking for a photographer in Austin or surrounding areas, I highly recommend PGL. Paul was an excellent communicator throughout the entire wedding process. If I ever had a question, or Idea, I could shoot it to him via email, and would always get a response that same day. Its been a little over a month, and we still look at these photos daily. Every time, we are brought back to the most memorable day of our lives. Because of the great work from PGL photography we can relive this night for years to come. Paul, if you're reading this, thank you again and again!

rs, but I can honestly say without a doubt that Paul Lizama and PGL Photography was one of my favorites!! From the very beginning, Paul's love for his art and his pride in his work was apparent. He truly went above and beyond to deliver more than what was expected. Every photo session we had with him, from the engagement shoots to the Bridal portraits to the photos from our actual wedding and reception, all yielded beautifully composed photos and he was able to capture some of my favorite shots of my husband and I as a couple. We got to know him well throughout the entire process, and he was always accommodating and eager to work with us. We were pleasantly surprised when he delivered our photo album to us in a personalized one-of-a-kind quality keepsake wooden box that we proudly display and hope to pass on as a family heirloom. We constantly get tons of compliments on not only the box itself, but of course on the album and the moments he was able to capture. We can't thank Paul enough for being such a pleasure to work with!

me that he showed to us the day of, we are so excited to see all of them!!! He made sure to familiarize himself with everyone important that we wanted in pictures and was always there to capture important moments throughout the night. He really knows what he is doing and his pictures are magical. The "pics in a box" photo booth was a HUGE hit, and we have a unique photo album with all the pictures of our guests that we will treasure forever. Absolutely could not have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend Paul!

ut the wife thought it best. I'll be the first to admit how wrong I was having seen the results of the engagement and wedding photos. Paul was fantastic to work with throughout the process. In speaking him, you come to realize that he is not just a photographer but an artist. His ability to capture candid shots was one of the main reasons we went with PGL. Although we are located in different cities, Paul made every effort to ensure that distance would be no issue. Paul and his second shooter Sherman were all over the place during the wedding. Looking at some of the photos, you'd think there were more than 2 photographers with all of the angles they covered! We also elected to get Pix in a Box, the photo booth. This was one of the highlights of the wedding. Our guests raved about how much fun it added to the overall experience, and it left each guests with a little souvenir. The turn around time for the online pictures was very quick. I had something substantial to share with the family within a couple of weeks. The final product which was a USB with all of our pictures came in about 3 months which I hear from others is a very good turnaround. Overall, our experience was extremely positive, and I would/have recommended Paul to anyone who asks me about a photographer.

straight forward and easy to follow making the photos well composed. He experimented with night lighting at our wedding and captured some really cool pictures. Both my parents and my in-laws (both hard to please) commented on how professional and courteous Paul is (I couldn't agree more.) He is very respectful and considers what photos family members might want as well. On our wedding day, it seemed like he was everywhere to capture the important moments, but was never in the way. The team he brings with him is great too. The photo booth was a blast and all our guests really enjoyed it, and they got to write messages in the provided photo album. Paul's work is timely, and we had our preview shots within 48 hours of our wedding, and our engagement photos were processed in about 1 week. I would recommend him to anyone. If you are going to spend your money on a photographer, you want to get a good one. Paul is your guy.

ot only is he an phenomenal photographer he is also a seriously fun guy! The day was perfect and the pictures are even more perfect thanks to Paul :)

ing was several weeks ago and I've lost track of the number of people who have mentioned how wonderful he was, how much they love the pictures, etc etc. He did such a great job of molding his shooting plan around the venues, different personalities, and the weather. Also, Pix in a Box was such a hit at the reception and we have loved looking back through all of the photos! I cannot say enough good things about this guy - would highly highly recommend!!

e made me, my husband and family feel so comfortable throughout the entire day (as well as during my bridal portrait session) it felt like Paul was an old family friend. We could not be happier with the moments he was able to capture. Every photo looks like it should be in a magazine! We also used pglphotography for our photo booth (pix-in-a-box) and that went off without a hitch! Our guests loved the photos/props and he got them to us only one week after the wedding! His entire service was hands down incredible quality and quantity for the very reasonable price he charged. On top of everything, Paul got married just THREE WEEKS before my wedding, during which he maintained excellent communication before and after. I would highly recommend Paul to anyone getting married! We are still on cloud nine from our wedding and his gorgeous photos let us continue to remember that day just as it was, perfect!

pleasure to work with through the whole process from contracting to day of. I never had to tell him the shots I wanted, it was like he could just read my mind. His photobooth, pix in a box, was great and our guests really enjoyed themselves with it. I would recommend PGLphotography to anyone and everyone I know.
