    If we could give a 10 star recommendation, we would.

    We found Claudette about 13 months before our wedding, and booked 9 months before. Choosing her as our wedding photographer, was hands down the best choice we made while planning our wedding. She offered recommendations when we asked, and she was genuinely excited for us. It’s not common to find someone who loves what they do, it’s truly remarkable. On the wedding day, she and her team were incredible. We absolutely love all of the gorgeous photos, and couldn’t have dreamt of a better team! Thank you, thank you, thank you, from the bottom of our hearts!

    Dream team!

    We chose Claudette from Alucinarte for our wedding in Mexico and we are so happy we did. They know how to get natural shots, such a pleasure to work with! They know exactly what they are doing! They made it an easy day... We can’t thank Claudette & Andre enough! We absolutely LOVE our video and pictures!!

    Incredible pictures and experience

    Claudette and her team were amazing! She really captures the moment and emotions so well. We absolutely love the way she edits pictures as well, for our tropical wedding the pictures came out absolutely incredible!!! They were so incredible that after we took some drone footage the drone stopped working and she immediately sent her assistant out to buy a new one so we would have it for later!!! We were blown away. We opted for under water pictures as well that are just breathtaking! highly recommended! Our only regret was not having her around longer!

    She's the best!

    Consider yourself lucky if she happens to be open for your date! Hunting for good photography is something I have to do at my job as an Art Director and when it came time to choose a photographer for my own wedding in NY, I needed someone with an artístic style and intuition for the candids. Her portfolio jumped out right away. Thank you so much Claudette!!

    Amazing❣️❣️❣️

    My brother-in-law is a professional photographer and recommended Claudette and her team to us. She said that if she knew Claudette when she got married, she would have been the person she hired since she is the best there... and she was absolutely right.

    The complements we received on her work from friends and family was unbelievable!! We are so happy with our pictures and film!! Thanks Claudette!!!

    I don't even know how to begin describing how exceptional, how talented, and how wonderful Claudette is - words simply cannot do her justice. I am completely in LOVE with our photos and wedding films (specially the aerial views taken with the drone). My husband and I both feel so honored to have been able to work with Claudette and to have had her a part of our day!

    Hiring Alucinarte Films was the BEST decision I made in the whole wedding planning process! They exceeded all my expectations and I thank that I discovered them. Working with Claudette was so enjoyable and I fell in love with her personality and style from our very first phone call. The pictures and film makes you feel like you're experiencing your wedding all over again! All I can say is- check out their work and you'll be speechless at how talented they are. They truly are the best. We recommend them as highly as possible.

    Claudette is the BEST photographer I have ever come across. She takes pictures I have never seen before. Such beauty and she always gets the best locations. I had Claudette for both my engagement and wedding pictures and her videography team for my wedding. I barely noticed she was there. She was always so patient and calm and made the whole experience so stress free for me and my husband. I recommend her to EVERYONE!!!!!! My husband and I just got married last week in Puerto Rico and she flew over with no problems. Not only is she a great photographer but a beautiful human being. She knows what she is doing and has so much passion for it. The COOLEST part is her team used a Quadcopter (a video camera on a mini helicopter) that flew above us at the beach capturing us in a birds eye view. I've never seen this before and loved that it was all for us :)

    We just love Claudette and her team. She and her husband are so professional. Our pictures are beyond beautiful! I actually want her to be our family photographer; if she has time to spare. We love you Claudette and Andre! Thanks for capturing our wedding (August 16th, 2014, San Juan, PR).

    Claudette is AMAZING!!! We are so happy to have had the good luck to find her to photograph our destination wedding at W retreat and spa! She is unbelievably talented - an artist! We love our pictures! She was such a pleasure to have around - so calming and almost angelic. She took avant guard shots which we love! Not run of the mill stuff. We had a tropical storm the day of our wedding and she was so flexible to move to the following day. She's fantastic!

    Claudette and her team are AMAZING! Very professional, hard-working, friendly, talented, reliable, creative, perfectionist, and knowledgeable. Many guests approached us to comment on their outstanding work at the wedding, and of course they hadn't even seen the pictures or film yet! My wedding went by so fast that, a few days later, I felt like I couldn't remember particular moments, which were important for me. When I saw the pictures, I could relive each moment of my wedding. It wasn't until then that I felt that they actually happened and that I was there. I was most impressed by the fact that Claudette captured expressions from myself and my loved ones (particularly my parents) that I had never seen before. With her work, she allowed me to enjoy my wedding from a totally different perspective. The best part is that I feel the same excitement every time I go through the pictures. Her services were one of the best investments we made for one of the most important days of our lives.

    Claudette is amazing! She has a great, creative eye to capture the perfect moment. Her team is professional and you barely notice them still being able to get all perfect shots. I can't explain how beautiful the wedding pictures came out. The colors, the angles, you can live the moment again through every picture. She sent us 5 days later a website with some preview photos while the rest are done. Talk about promptness and keeping her customers happy not only before and during but also after the great event. She's amazingly sweet as well! Don't hesitate! She's the one to make your day a living memory!

    When I was looking for a photographer for my wedding, I looked at the reviews on WeddingWire. That's how I found Claudette Montero, and I'm so glad I did! So now I want to write a review and help future brides. I decided to email Claudette after I saw her website and loved her work. I really liked that if you book her company Alucinarte Films you can also get your wedding video as one of the package offers. Claudette was responsible and easily accessible by phone or email. She even recommended my hair and makeup stylist (which was a great choice too). On my wedding day she kept me calm through the inevitable stress of that day. She has a great vision for unique photo opportunities, and our pictures are amazing!!! All the details in the photos are beautiful! Also, we got our photo gallery sooner than expected. I highly recommend Claudette and Alucinarte Films!

    Amazing to work with and what talent! I never knew I could look like such a rockstar! Thanks to Claudette I have my wedding beautifully documented.
    I am very impressed by the service, flexibility, professionalism, and quality of Claudette's work. You can definitely call me a happy customer.

    There is only one way to describe Claudette, she is simply the BEST. A good friend recommended her and, after going through her website and looking at her portfolio, I knew she had to be my wedding photographer. I love how different and innovative she is, how she beautifully captures those moments you never want to forget. She quickly understood my vision for the wedding and there is no doubt that it reflects on her work. I can't get over how beautiful my wedding pictures are- they make me relive my wedding day every time I look at them. She is super sweet and easy to work with- exactly the type pf person you want around you on that special (and nerve-racking!) day. If you are looking for a photographer who not only won't disappoint you, but will exceed your expectations, you want Claudette and her awesome team.

    Claudette did both our engagement session and wedding and my husband and I could not be more pleased with our photos. I don't consider myself to be photogenic, but Claudette helped me feel comfortable in front of the camera. We really wanted a timeless quality in our photos and Claudette captured that perfectly. Thank you for everything you did for us! I would highly recommend Claudette and Alucinarte looking for only the most perfect wedding photos :)

    Dear Claudette,



    I cannot believe 5 months has passed by since Nassdja's wedding and I'm wondering why has taken me so long to write you this note.



    My memory went back to that incredible day as soon I saw all the photos you sent us to preview. What extraordinary work you did! I was captivated by the images and how well you captured all the essence of the wedding. The day was far from perfect but you did everything so transparent for us and considering all the issues and limitations you encountered I have to take my hat off and wholehearted congratulate you.

    Fantastic is the only word that can describe your work of art! There is finesse, and an artistic instinct coming from you that is difficult to describe. You knew exactly what to capture from this significant moment in the life of proud parents like us! All accolades and recognition you have received are well deserved. Thank you so much for allowing us to give our only daughter the perfect memories for years to come.

    Once again Thank you for your hard work and professionalism.

    Very Truly yours,

    Brenda Valentin -Mother of the Bride

    BEST DECISION EVER!!! We could not be happier with Alucinarte Films and Claudette Montero. There are so many many great things to say! When I was planning my wedding the most important thing in my planning list was the photographer. We had seen her galleries online and were very impressed. We adore our photos and are so happy we worked with such a talented photographer. I would highly recommend Claudette to anyone. She really knows how to capture the perfect moments and the emotions of the big day. To say the least our pictures are absolutely breathtaking. We are in love with our pictures as are many of our guests. I hope this review was helpful. Serioulsy, this is a once in a lifetime experience don't settle for less.

    We decided to get married in Puerto Rico never been to the area I told my coordinator you have done hundreds of wedding therefore who would you choose for your wedding to do videography. Without a doubt she said Alucinarte film they are the best in the industry! Claudette is so professional and courteous always answered all my calls and emails immediately. During the ceremony and reception she captured every single detail and true emotions. She is a true angel, with so much talent and dedication to her work that there is no surprise that all the professionals in the wedding industry rave about her. Don't hesitate or look further if you want to capture your dream wedding then book Claudette/Alucinarte Films now.
