Rock and Love made the photography for our wedding very easy. They are a kind and caring team. The photos were beautiful! We were very glad we used them.
Booking Maria is our photographer was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! From the initial outreach to meeting Maria and Ricardo to getting close to the big day and ...
then of course the wedding itself, it was a wonderful process. They were so genuinely happy for us and put us at ease from the first meeting. We are not the most natural or comfortable people in front of a camera, but you would never know it by looking at the photos. Maria and Ricardo made us look like models and anyone who sees the photos can't stop raving about how stunning they are! On the wedding day, it was so great to feel comfortable with them and to just relax into the day. We're still amazed that they were able to get so many great photos in a way that didn't feel like we had to sacrifice parts of the wedding day to pause for portraits. They captured our joy and the fun we were having in a way that felt natural and true to the moment. An added bonus to the whole experience was getting the sneak peek photos the day after our wedding! If you need a wedding photographer, you should look no further. Highly recommend!
Maria and Ricky photographed and did the video for my daughters wedding this past weekend and I had to give them a review! We haven't even gotten back the picture yet but I know th...
ey are going to be amazing! They were so professional, so attentive to detail and so responsive to all the things my daughter and son in law asked for I needed to make sure I reviewed them immediately! Ricky and his video was amazing. He captured every moment from the beginning of the day til the last moment of the night without once being intrusive! I had so many people say that video guy was amazing he was all over the place with that thing you are going to have some great video! But never did he intrude or make you feel like you were on video. I can't wait to re-live the day through Ricky's video! Maria was so sweet and you can just tell she is imaginative and her work is going to be spectacular! They were kind to guests and punctual. I could truly go on and on. Highly, highly recommend! My daughter also had her engagement shots done by them in NYC and they were gorgeous and made them feel so comfortable and relaxed in a city full of people! If you want stellar photographers, artists, choose Maria and Ricky!!!
Maria and Ricky were such a special part of our wedding weekend. We were so pleased when we found them early in our planning process. They were so kind and caring. They were detail...
ed in their meetings with us along the way. When the big day came, their talent and versatility were on full display, as we dealt with some weather. Maria and Ricky worked non-stop all weekend to capture all the details and moments of our wedding. They are so talented, and we are so happy with how their pictures and video have turned out. They have friendly personalities and are a pleasure to work with. Highly recommend. Thank you!
This review is massively long overdue (I got married 5/20/2022), but I absolutely have to write one. Maria and Ricky are hands down the BEST people and we could not have been lucki...
er to have the pleasure of them capturing our wedding! They got exactly the vibes we wanted, all the shots we wanted, were so easy to communicate with, and are just the nicest and most fun people! We did our engagement shoot with them in NYC and the photos could not have been any better. We communicated the types of shots we were looking for and, since they were living there, they were able to give us the best tips for location and shots! Our wedding was better than we could have ever imagined. We got the best posed shots and the absolute best candid shots. We barely even realized the were photographing/taking video of us which we loved, but we also just loved their presence. They were so much fun and added to the party, they were dancing while shooting and made everyone so happy and comfortable. Our guests still talk to us about them and how awesome they are! Our video is breathtaking, we are taken back to the day every time we watching and it always brings us to tears. The photos are incredible; we constantly look through our photos and love displaying them in our home to look at all the time. We have since referred several people to them because we would love everyone to have the same experience we had!
Hiring Maria and Ricky for our wedding was the BEST decision we made! They are the kindest, most considerate people on the planet, and they went above and beyond throughout the ent...
ire wedding process—and are still doing so today! They were extremely accommodating of some last-minute timing changes, and delivered even more gorgeous photographs than we had expected. We recently lost our beloved father of the groom, and Maria and Ricky generously offered to send us the raw video file so that we could have his entire speech as a cherished memory. Every photograph and video they've sent has been of the highest quality, and their enthusiastic energy and generous hearts have made them the stars of our wedding experience. Do yourself a favor and hire them!!!!
Maria and Ricky are awesome!!! They literally put everything they had into making sure we had all the photographs we could have hoped for from our special day. From dawn until the ...
end of the night, they were up running around getting photos from all angles. We had such a fun time whenever we met them including our first meeting, our pre-wedding shoot and most importantly on the wedding day.
They are such a lovely couple and really made our day special and have given us photos that will live with us forever. You will not be disappointed if you choose them for your event and they were a pleasure to work with throughout and very reliable.
We can’t thank you guys enough and hope to see you soon

ough the day and show through their work. From our engagement shoot to our entire wedding day they were professional, accommodating, creative, and overall a pleasure to work with. They are an incredible team with a great eye for detail. Our wedding photos are everything we could have dreamed of and more and I have no doubt our video will be the same! We are so thankful to have worked with them and cannot recommend them enough!!
Maria and Ricky are such a lovely couple to work with and they really help take the stress out of the big day! My now husband doesn't do well in posed photos but Maria and Ricky ar...
e so good at capturing beautiful natural shots. They are super responsive and were so helpful in helping me create the photography timeline of the day when I was feeling overwhelmed. They also send you a sneak peek of the wedding photos shortly after the wedding so you can start posting pretty soon after and share with your friends and family! We're so grateful we were able to work with Maria and Ricky for our special day.
We are so grateful and lucky to have chosen Maria and Ricardo as our photographers for our wedding. They were punctual, professional and we couldn’t have asked for more. Our weddin...
g is our special day and your wedding will be a special day , they will make it so much better. We had our wedding in Peddle Beach, Dumbo. After, we took pictures in the bar in West Elm with close friends and family. We then went to the carousal and went to Soho to take more pictures. It was a memorable experience because it was effortless on our part. They gave great instructions and we were able to follow easily. Our photos were delivered couple weeks later via pixieset . As soon as when we received them, we could not not stop smiling. Our pictures are what reminds us about our special day. It is a special memory. All our friends and family praised the pictures, of how clear and beautiful and how well it captured everything on our special day. We also opted in the wedding video which we are so glad we did. It is a better way to show our wedding day, the video is fun and very thoughtful.
Maria was AMAZING to work with!! I am beyond in love with our photos. I told her my vision and she executed it perfectly. I wanted dreamy and romantic and the photos are just that....
She was also super flexible when we had to reschedule for weather and work which I very much appreciate. I would recommend 110% and will definitely use her in the future.
They were referred to us by a very good friend. We could not have picked a better photographer for our wedding day. they captured every amazing moment of our precious day! My wife ...
and I had a blast going off on the beach and throughout our hotel on our photo shoot! they quickly got to know us and catered photos to who we are. I never wanted that day to end but thanks to them I can relive my wedding day through the beautiful pictures he took. We are forever grateful!
Maria did such an amazing job taking care of our day for us! Our pictures are better than we ever imagined. We are so pleased with her work. We appreciated how she made suggestions...
for an officiant, plus she had knowledge of the jeep tour companies as well as a detailed knowledge of the landscape areas. We would highly recommend her services for your wedding or any other special event in your life.
I am OBSESSED with our photos (both wedding & portrait shoot). I found Maria online through another couple that had been married at our venue. I loved the editorial and romantic s...
tyle. I was a little hesitant because I love a good first-hand recommendation but couldn’t compare his photos to any other wedding photographer. During our initial conversation it was easy and flowed. She knew our venue (which could have tricky lighting) and got our vision. During our portrait shoot he was able to get to know my husband and I and we were able to get to know him. She made us both super comfortable in front of the camera. When we received our portrait session photos we were blown away..making us so excited for the capturing of the big day! Maria and his husband, Ricky , (who was LOVELY) were right on time, easy-going, and got pictures of everything without being pushy or overwhelming. They worked with our big families requests and many personalities. They captured the very best parts of the very best day. So, THIS IS YOUR FIRST HAND RECOMMENDATION…if you like the style (timeless, classic, romantic, editorial, perfectly edited & candid) book then now. We are in love with our photos and EVERYONE has made comments about how stunning they are. We cannot thank them enough!
THANK YOU!!! The photos are absolutely perfect!
We could not be more thrilled with how wonderful they have turned out. You are truly a magician! We have no idea how you managed to ...
make the darkest, wettest day in a century look light and bright and warm… Thank you.
Also, words cannot describe how grateful we were to be supported by you on the day… as clichéd as it sounds, we felt like we were being looked after by family.
Maria and Ricardo were a pleasure to work with and was sure to capture every detail of our special day. They were so friendly and true professionals. The results were more beautif...
ul than I could have ever imagined. They have a creative eye that will turn your wedding photos into a work of art. I would HIGHLY recommend!
From the moment we booked our Wedding Photographer with Captured Group we knew we’d made the right choice. Ricky contacted us almost straight away and was so helpful and friendly....
Booking process was very simple and hassle free. Our photographer contacted us twice before the wedding and on the day in October 2021, he arrived in plenty of time and was very friendly, professional and accommodating. Not intrusive at all. We booked for 6 hours as a very small wedding and Captured Group offered us exactly what we wanted. Photographs will be with us in about 2 weeks and we can’t wait to see them. Definitely recommend. Five Stars.
We are so very happy to have received such beautiful photographs. The video has come out so much fun. It was exactly how we wanted our weddign to be covered.
Just hire these guys ...
if you want the best to be captured as your memories! We are totally satisfied 😁
Thanks to team Maria and especially Ricky for the magic!
I’m speechless! These photos are fantastic! We’ve been looking at them all night and just can’t decide which ones we like the best. It’ll be hard to choose which ones to print. I l...

Maria and Ricky are amazing – I simply can’t recommend them enough! They aren’t just excellent photographers, they are wonderful, warm people, who became good friends.
We trusted ...
them completely, and I’m overwhelmed by the beauty of their shots – they have captured the love, joy and fun of our perfect day.
They have an instinct for theatre, and produced some spectacular pictures with us and our guests, and their candid photos brought back all the excitement and happiness of the occasion.
If you are looking for photographers, please hire Maria and Ricardo – you owe it yourselves to have the best!
I found this company on Google. I have already recommended them to two family members who are getting married next year. The process could not have been easier. We had two photogra...
