"The One Awaits were the absolute best wedding photographers to work with. The package we chose included an engagement shoot which we planned about 3 month before our wedding. This gave us time to get to know Karolina and Saul and build a relationship with them before our wedding day. On the day of our wedding they arrived promptly, were very professional and honestly just so fun to work with! They gave plenty of ideas of photos that would look nice and also were willing to take any photo ideas from us and run with them (literally through the rain at one point!). They gave us sneak peeks of our photos so quickly and the delivery of all of our photos arrived in the timeline they had laid out for us. We absolutely love our photos (and the amount of them we got!) and get compliments on them often. If I had to choose a wedding photographer again, I would choose The One Awaits every time. Worth every penny, you won't regret it."
Run, don’t walk, to book The One Awaits. My fiancé and I prioritized three things for our wedding: the food, the music, and the photography. And the last one was the best investment all wedding-planning season long. We booked both shooters (Saul and Karolina) and they were absolutely AMAZING.
Ever since my first call with Saul, I knew we had chosen right. He was super fun, kind, collaborative, understanding, and responsive. For our engagement photos, we had a lot of random ideas (shooting at a taco place, with both of our cars, and at a park without looking gross even though it was 90 degrees out). And somehow, they made it happen exactly as we wanted. The photos were complete magic and, to quote our friends, very representative of us. Even my fiancé who normally hates getting his photo taken was comfortable with Saul and Karolina.
Then came our wedding day and, yet again, we were blown away by them. They showed up on time, with the right vibes, and ready to capture our special day. They took flat lays, getting ready photos, first looks, group photos, candids, ceremony footage, guest photos, candids, hora loca pics, grand exits, social photos…the list goes on. I am sure they will turn out just as great as the engagement photos.
But the biggest takeaway outside of the photos was the guests’ commentary. So many people mentioned how lovely Saul and Karolina were to interact with. They almost didn’t feel like vendors, but more like friends of ours. We cannot thank them enough for everything (even through my bridezilla moments) and we hope you book them, too. Trust us — your captured memories will thank you.
We loved our photos! Saul did an amazing job! His communication was quick and clear all throughout the planning process. On the day of he was great at directing us and working with our families. He was fun, friendly, and his enthusiasm was contagious. Cannot recommend enough!
Saul did an absolutely amazing job covering our wedding ceremony. He was kind, patient, and gave great direction that produced beautiful photos! He is also very responsive and professional, and we got our photos back within a week to share with family and friends! Please do not hesitate in hiring him as your photographer, you'll be in great hands!
Saul is so wonderful to work with. He was on time and helped everything run smoothly. His vision for photos is different and makes for beautiful captured moments. We are so pleased with how everything turned out. I usually hate all of the pictures I’m in but I can honestly say he got pictures that made me feel even more beautiful than just the way I felt on my wedding day ❤️❤️ absolutely recommend him. He’s patient and so pleasant to work with and what we loved most was that he gave us tips before our wedding on how different times of day will affect the photos so we knew what to expect. Also, he let us have all of the images he took without extra cost. All around great experience.
Saul was an absolute joy to work with on our special day. He was funny and kind and extremely talented. Our photos turned out better than we imagined, and he worked very diligently to get them to us quickly after the event without sacrificing quality. We have already recommended his work to others, and we would love to work with him again in the future for any of our big events!
Saul is a true and kind professional from start to end! He captured our special events and became like extended family by the end of the night.
Saul was amazing. He arrived a half hour early and was very prepared. I gave him a list of photos I wanted and he made sure he got them all. My husband and I really enjoyed working with him. Highly recommend!
We had an amazing experience with Saul! 10/10. He was very engaging and easygoing during the session, making the 2h of photo session more a fun play rather than a serious photo session. He also suggested to either change the outfit or the place and was very organized, tracking the time in each location (we decided to move to Rice as a second spot). And needless to say, that the result is amazing, much better than we expected. Saul is not just sharing pictures, he is creating a website dedicated to your pair, that you can send as a link to anyone. I believe we were lucky to have Saul as our wedding photographer!
Saul and Carolina were the best photographers we could have asked for. They have such an artistic eye, are lovely to be around, and made the photo-taking process fun and easy! They know exactly how to capture emotions and sweet moments. I’m not the most comfortable around a camera, but Saul and Carolina made me forget the camera was even there!
Did I mention they are a husband and wife team? Nothing makes a bride feel more comfortable than when a husband and wife team that are soo sweet to one another take your wedding photos. It’s impossible not to smile and feel overwhelming happiness when they are around.
The One Awaits is the way to go.
Hiring The One Awaits was one of the absolute best decisions I made on my wedding day!!!! We got married on a very hot summer day and Saul and Karolina took it in stride!!! I was so nervous about people being miserable and they never complained once!!!! They were on time and immediately got to work!!! They kept pictures timely so people weren’t miserable during, even my husband said he loved how quick they were!!! We got our photos back SUPER fast and they are all more amazing than I ever could’ve imagined!! Saul and Karolina were so enjoyable to be around and every person at the wedding commented on how much they loved them!
I used Saul for both my engagement and wedding photos! Both sets of photos turned out beautifully and better than I could have ever imagined. He does a wonderful job of capturing little details and special moments. He makes people feel comfortable in front of the camera and you can tell he really enjoys what he does! I would recommend him to anyone!
Loved our wedding photos! Saul & his wife covered our entire wedding day and did an amazing job. The one request I had was that they wouldn’t take my husband and I away from the wedding for too long, but instead capture candid photos throughout the day and it’s exactly what they did. They absolutely nailed it! They captured so many moments throughout the day that really showed the energetic vibe of the wedding. Highly recommend The One Awaits Photography!
I absolutely LOVED working with Saul and Karolina! They captured both my sister's wedding in February, and then my wedding in May! They are such a joy to be around, and seriously make you feel like family. I am so thrilled with my wedding photos--I will cherish them for the rest of my life! I cannot wait to work with them again :)
Saul and Karolina are the best!! Everyone was telling me how much they loved our photographers at our wedding. They are so sweet and professional, not to mention they take beautiful and timeless photos. Absolutely loved having them take our engagement and wedding photos!
Karolina is such a talented photographer, our photos came out beautifully! She was professional, personable and great to have there on the big day. She took candid photos while we were with our guests and listened to our feedback on poses that we wanted for the staged photos. Also, she took plenty of photos and we had so many great ones to choose from. Great experience with The One Awaits and I recommend them to anyone planning a wedding.
Saul and his wife completely exceeded my expectations for my wedding day. They made all of my guests feel completely comfortable in front of the camera and where so kind to everyone! We received around 3000 photos and I loved every single one of them. I just had a baby before my wedding so I was very insecure from the baby weight that I had gained, but I felt so beautiful in every photo they took of me. These pictures really gave me the boost I needed to feel confident about myself again. Thank you the one awaits for capturing the biggest day of my life and making me feel beautiful again 💕
Saul at The One Awaits is the best wedding photographer I could have hoped for! I used Saul for my bridal portraits and for my wedding day. He was so easy to work with, and all the photos came out beautifully! I got about 3500 photos from my wedding day. They were delivered to me in great quality, and they were so easy to download and share with all my guests. He captured every big moment and all the little moments that I thought no one saw! I cannot say enough good things about Saul. He will help pose you, your partner, your bridal party, and your guests. You can trust Saul to be friendly, professional, and deliver high-quality work. Saul is worth every penny, and I would hire him again in a heartbeat. My sister booked him for her wedding in a few months, and my bridesmaid booked him for her wedding, too!
Our Wedding back in November could not have gone More Perfect. A lot of that was in part to Saul on our wedding day! We went with what ended up with a theme that unintentionally looked like The Godfather Wedding scene, and when Saul arrived, he looked and performed like the great Coppola, with the highest compliments on his work! It really brought the whole wedding together on our perfect day. He captured the very best moments and then some, and we sincerely wouldn’t have had the greatest night of our lives without him there. Not only did he fit right in with our guests, but he immediately felt like family. His professionalism, comfortability and kindness are unmatched, not only in photography, but in business itself! We are the privileged ones of getting their business, we will have everlasting value, and impeccable memories because of this team! 💝
Saul.did our engagement photos and our wedding photos. He is so great to work with. He really got both my husband and I comfortable during our shoots - even had us laughing and genuinely having fun! He has an excellent eye for artistic shots, and is so accommodating! Our planner recommended him, and I am so glad she did!
Saul has been with me through two graduations, an engagement, and now our wedding. He never disappoints! He is easy to work with and makes people who are camera-shy feel comfortable. If you are looking for someone to capture any big event in your life, Saul is the one to do it!
I can’t say enough positive remarks about Saul and Karolina! I am generally not very comfortable with being in front of the camera, however, from even the engagement shoot Saul made my (now) husband and I feel incredibly comfortable! He is incredibly professional, directive, and accommodating. I am SO happy we hired The One Awaits for our wedding day. The chemistry that this wonderful husband and wife duo have together plays into the beautiful photos they were able to capture. I am thrilled with how every photo turned out and how many special moments they captured! I don’t even recall seeing them running around all day, but looking at my photos I can tell how how they worked to move around and capture our wedding day. I can say with 100% certainty that Saul and Karolina are worth hiring for your wedding day! We are so happy to have hired them and would absolutely trust them photos again!
Saul and Karolina are amazing! So many beautiful moments were captured. I would definitely recommend them! They were so fun to work with and made the entire day go smoothly for us. The final photos are absolutely stunning and more than we could ask for. I even had Saul capture my bridal photos which came out lovely.
AMAZING!!! They were exactly what I wanted for my wedding photos! Very great communication, quick, efficient, and overall great work. They are a sweet couple, and they make a great team. Highly recommend!!
I cannot recommend Saul and Karolina enough!! Our engagement and wedding photos turned out BEAUTIFULLY. They captured all our special moments perfectly and they were lovely additions to our wedding day. I’m so glad we hired them!
Let me start off by saying HIRE THE ONE AWAITS if you want not only incredibly talented and kind people, but absolutely STUNNING wedding and engagement photos! My husband and I are NOT naturals in front of a camera, yet Saul and Karolina definitely made it look like we were in both our engagement and wedding photos. They have a special way of making you feel like you're on a date with your significant other during photo sessions and truly make you feel beautiful! In addition, they are SO EASY to communicate with! They respond incredibly fast and will not hesitate to answer a quick phone call with absolutely any questions you may have. Lastly, this amazing couple makes it their mission to give you exactly what you want in your photos and more, and I truly couldn't have asked for better. They truly felt like family on our big day and I am forever grateful to Saul and Karolina for their amazing work and incredibly fast turnaround time! Not to mention, they sent us the cutest custom box with a flash drive in it of all of our photos! :)
I love this couple so very much, and can't wait to work with them again in the future!<3
I absolutely loved working with Saul and his wife! We had our engagement pictures with them and it was such a fun experience and he made the atmosphere feel fun and relaxed! Our wedding pictures turned out beautiful and I could not be more happy with my choice to go with them! I highly recommend the one awaits to be your wedding photographer!!
Saul and Karolina are fabulous! They were everywhere and captured everything. Our photos were candid, beautiful, so very natural. They work as a team and are able to capture perspectives that would not be possible with only one photographer. Bonus - not just great photographers, but LOVELY people.
I found Saul and his wife through social media. I was a bride planning a wedding out of state and they just made me feel comfortable from the beginning. They went above and beyond to make our experience wonderful. Every single person in our bridal party commented on how awesome they were. They were professional, communicated effectively, and were full of energy the whole time. We also had a Catholic ceremony and they did a wonderful job capturing the important key moments. It was important for us to have bilingual photographers, so that every guest felt comfortable in front of the camera and they delivered. I would recommend them to anyone and would book them to capture every important event. Also, I received 3,000 breathtaking wedding pictures three weeks after my wedding. You cannot beat their service and experience. They were our favorite vendor to work with throughout the whole experience.
Loved our experience with “The One Awaits” photography. So many beautiful moments captured. I would definitely recommend them!
Saul and Karo were the perfect photographers for our big day! I can't sing their praises enough. They were so fun to work with and made the entire day go smooth for us. The final photos are absolutely stunning and more than we could ask for! Can't wait to use them again someday in the future.
Absolutely love Saul! He was our photographer for our wedding in March 2022 and he was so amazing and wonderful! His down to earth and fun personality makes us and our guests feel so comfortable! My guests complimented him a lot. He was very attentive and quick to response throughout the whole process. We couldn’t pick a better photographer for our special day. Thank you so much Saul! 💕
Saul & his wife were the perfect duo for our wedding day. Look no further, They were nothing but outstanding and helpful with everything we needed. Couldn’t had imagined hiring a better couple for our wedding. The pictures were beautiful, capturing every loving moment.
I cannot imagine hiring a better photography team for our wedding. We had nothing but great experiences for all of our shoots. We did our engagement shoot, and my bridal portraits with Saul, and both Saul & Karoline for our wedding day. All of our photos came out great, we got them in a VERY quick turnaround - we even got our wedding photos within a month even with the huge wedding boom that I am sure is keeping them busy. Everything was super easy, very straightforward contract, and overall just kind, genuine people that make everything enjoyable. Highly recommend for all your wedding needs.
Saul was amazing!!! He was quick to answer questions and was so attentive on wedding day. Our pictures turned out beautiful! I loved how he not only captured us, but our wedding guests as well throughout the evening!
Saul and his wife were a joy to have throughout our engagement and the day of our wedding. They are very responsive, kind, and easy to work with. My engagement and bridal sessions turned out wonderful as did our wedding photos. Saul is great at making the sessions interactive and telling the couple exactly how to pose. Everyone at our wedding said Saul and his wife had a great presence and gave many compliments the day of. We could not have hired a better duo for our wedding.
I absolutely adored my shoot with The One Awaits! Saul and Karo are not only very talented, but extremely professional. They were able to work to understand the vision and look for the shoot that was planned! I would totally work with them again. The photos came out stunning! Thank you, The One Awaits!
Saul and Karo are the perfect photographers to have for your special day! Having them made my wife and I feel so comfortable and relaxed. If anything they felt like they were our family! We were so happy with their work ethics, their effort, their attention to detail, they were always there when you needed them, they are the backbone that you need. It is great to have a photographer that actually cares for your special day and always brings a smile and laugh. Saul and Karo, thank you for what you have given us, we hope you don't become strangers! We'll see you again soon! - Ivan and Nancy
Saul was so amazing to work with, he made everyone feel comfortable and captured everyone he photographed with a genuine smile! He definitely help make our wedding day run smoother with punctuality and the professionalism he showed throughout the day. We would definitely love to work with him again for different photography sessions.
Our experience with Saul is nothing short of perfect. He is an incredible photographer and overall person. Saul made us feel comfortable from the start. He knee how to capture the perfect photos by giving us guidance but allowing the poses to come naturally! I am so happy with the final product and I could not recommended anyone better than The One Awaits!
So happy we found The One Awaits to capture our wedding day. Saul is an amazing photographer to say the least! He made us feel comfortable and gives great sense of direction so you don’t feel awkward in front of the camera. His personality is so genuine that it felt like I’ve known him for years. If I had any questions Saul would promptly respond. My husband and I are so in love with our pictures! He captured our wedding day so beautifully!
We used them for our team photos and we are in awe! They’re amazing to work with, great communication and they brought our vision to life! Highly recommend to book them, we have gotten so many compliments on the photos!
Saul and Karo took our pre-wedding pictures and left us with some very beautiful memories, our session was very easygoing and they helped us feel comfortable whenever it came to posing in front of the camera. All the pictures came out wonderfully, for sure our go to for future photo albums.
Saul and Karolina were the best photographers I could ever ask for. My wedding couldn’t have been any more perfect! They captured beautiful and unforgettable memories. They’re both very kind, fun and we were so comfortable with them, almost like as if they’re family! 😃
I cannot recommend The One Awaits enough!! Saul went above and beyond to make sure our day was PERFECT! He was so easy to work with and made sure to get every shot plus more. The pictures are a dream and the best way to relive the best day ever! I have soooo many favorites to choose from it is so hard to pick just a few. I SERIOUSLY couldn't have picked a better photographer to capture our special day! Thanks so much Saul for helping capture all these memories.
Saul and Carolina are the BEST! Seriously! Really sweet, kind, and very helpful, they were a treasure to have as photographers at our wedding (I'm normally very camera shy, but they helped me feel at ease). Our photos are beautiful and ones that my husband and I will cherish forever. Please consider The One Awaits for your wedding photography, you won't regret it!
Saul and Karolina were amazing! They were both very friendly and took phenomenal photos. We had so many that it took a week just to sort through them to see which ones we wanted to post. You will not regret choosing The One Awaits!
Saul actually met us months before the wedding for a walk through of the venue to check out the lighting since it was held at the museum. We had a costume themed wedding and we appreciated that Saul got pictures of everyone's outfits and didn't miss anyone. We're also very uncomfortable and awkward with posed pictures but he was able to make it look natural and romantic. We really enjoyed working with Saul and we would book him again in the future.
Amazing photos, received my photos back in less than a month! Great communication and very impressive, and elegant photo quality! Amazing photographer!! Highly recommend.
Can't say enough good things!
Saul was just awesome, he made everyone feel so comfortable. I kept forgetting I had only met him once before.
The photos are beautiful, he made sure to get every detail of our wedding.
Communication was great, he would reply very quickly to my messages and he was very flexible with our requests.
Everything was just perfect!
Saul was professional, attentive, considerate, personable, and ready to go above and beyond, his photos are absolutely beautiful, and truly captured and embraced one of the best days of our lives! We will definitely use him again in the future :)
Saul is one of those people that truly enjoys what he does, and his work reflects that. He was such a pleasure to work with, and truly has an eye for photography. He captured so many beautiful pictures at my wedding, not just of us but of our guests as well.
Saul and his wife were absolutely amazing! We loved working with them and had the most amazing wedding pictures! They are extremely easy to work with and just has that ability to capture the moments you want. Thank you for everything!
Saul and Karo did a great job photographing my wedding! They were on time, communicated well over texts/FaceTime meetings and captured AMAZING images. My husband hates taking photos but they were SO EFFICIENT and entertaining that he actually enjoyed himself (and that takes a lot of skill). Saul and Karo are a loving couple that actually made me jealous of how well they are working together, kindly and professionally (I.e: calling each other “my love” instead of their names). I was so comfortable and had so much fun taking photos with them. Photos were gorgeous and they did above and beyond what I expected. Photos took about a month to get back but that was understandable because of the sheer amount of photos we received. They even sent a usb to our house of all the photos in a really cute wooden box. No BS, they’re honestly a great choice for photographers.
Saul and Karolina are an amazing photography team and wonderful couple. Their love for each other and their work radiates throughout every interaction we had with them on the wedding day. Both were skilled at organizing our big wedding party and facilitating family pictures - all we had to do was relax and look our best! I am so grateful they helped capture that special day. We received a blog post with sneak peak pictures not long after the wedding, and did not have to wait much longer to receive the entire gallery (which turned out beautifully). Saul always responded promptly to questions I had via texts/emails. Saul and Katolina have achieved the perfect balance of professional and personable. I wish I could give more than 5 stars!
Saul was the photographer for our Vietnamese tea ceremony, and he was amazing! He was incredibly professional and accommodating. Our day was a bit chaotic, but he rolled with the punches throughout the day. He did a great job of capturing the event and making us feel comfortable when we had our portraits done. We got our pictures today and we love them! Beautiful, timeless, and true to life photos. Couldn't have asked for a better photographer to capture our day. Book The One Awaits; you won't regret it!!
Saul and his wife were absolutely amazing! We hired them for Engagement Pictures, Bridal Portraits and Wedding day! Saul is always punctual and quick to respond if you have questions or concerns. Both Saul and his wife are very kind people and a pleasure to be around. We absolutely love our photos and are VERY happy that we chose The One Awaits to capture our special moments for us! I highly recommend The One Awaits photography!
Saul was so amazing and flexible! He graciously customized a package to fit our exact needs and budget. He was very personable and made everyone feel very comfortable throughout the night. Highly recommend for your event.
Saul was amazing from start to finish. He was always so responsive and professional. He has such a great personality and really knows how to create a beautiful story to make every moment come natural! We absolutely adore our engagement and wedding photos and everyone always asks who did them! We recommend Saul 1000% he was perfect!!!
Saul and Karolina were amazing help with our wedding! I first met Saul during my bridal session and knew that the wedding day was going to run so smoothly with them and it did! They were so fun to work with. Saul was amazing in helping with a schedule for the day that included all of the shots we wanted. And we got so many beautiful pictures. They also got so many fun pictures of our guests throughout the night that I really appreciated and I will cherish them forever. I 10/10 recommend Saul and Karolina!!!!
