    Smile Loud helped to capture the best day of our lives. They photographed not only our wedding, but our bridal portraits and engagement pictures. They captured all of our big moments and even the little ones that we missed. They are down to earth, and extremely professional. Being that we live in Houston, we were worried about finding photographers that could work around our travel schedule. But Smile Loud was completely flexible and made our experience delightful. We plan to use them as our photographers for all of our other milestones down the road.

    I can not say enough good things about this team of professional photographers. They were truly a delight to work with and made everyone feel incredibly comfortable. I am not photogenic and am really uncomfortable around cameras, but the positive and friendly attitude of these two made me feel comfortable and relaxed - even among all the wedding day chaos! The pictures are fantastic - they captured every detail, every smile, every beautiful candid moment perfectly. Our guests and family are still raving about the photos! We and our family & guests really appreciated the sneak peeks that were posted on Facebook. They were so fun to see just days after the event =) The digital photo album was amazing - It was personalized, absolutely gorgeous, and something we will cherish for a lifetime. We loved every moment working with them and I can't thank them enough for the incredible pictures. Professional, reliable, timely and friendly. Highly Recommend!!

    Alma and Paul were awesome to work with. They communicated with us well and always kept us well informed of what was going on and what we needed to do. On the big day they were extremely helpful and were very non-intrusive. We just recently received the final copies of our photos as well and couldn't be happier. The wedding turned out just as we wanted it and Smile Loud was able to capture all of it. We searched high and low for an affordable photographer and I honestly believe these guys provide the best bang for your buck. You will not be disappointed.

    I have been friends with Paul and Alma for years now, but I've never had my picture taken by them. I knew they were good, but it was something else to witness it first-hand and to be the subject.

    I cannot say enough about the professionalism and quality service I'd received for my wedding pictures. Alma and Paul have a natural knack for putting one at ease when it gets to that awkward moment when you have no clue how to pose. They were extremely flexible with us and our large party. I love the custom case, and my pictures are phenomenal! They were able to capture each moment. Thank you guys for making my wedding all the more special. <3

    My husband and I live in Houston and planning a wedding in a different city (South Padre Island) proved to be a big challenge. Smile Loud Photography went above and beyond through the entire process. They were great about communicating, very professional and most of all, they are very creative and artistic when it came to capturing the moments. They even took a huge risk and went out of their comfort zone for us because we got married on a boat. My favorite part about the two is they made us feel like we knew them forever! Overall, the entire experience with them was amazing and the end product is everything I hoped it could be and more!

    We will be going out of our way in the future and travel down to the valley just to have them capture our family milestones! :)

    Amazing pictures, amazing albums, amazing photographers!

    Smile Loud Photography provided great, friendly customer service before, during and after the wedding. They are well-organized, easy to work with, and always kept us updated on the status of our photos/albums. Alma and Paul are a great team who listen to your ideas, all the while they add their artistic flare to them.

    We couldn't have been more happy with our choice of photographers :)

    Alma and Paul are some of the most amazing photographers you'll have the pleasure of working with. They take their job very seriously and go above and beyond for their clients!!! They make you feel like a friend, not just like a customer that they're doing business with. There is so much comfort and trust when working with them!

    Smile Loud Photography did a spectacular job with my engagement shoot, bridal shoot, and wedding day. My photos were so admired to the point that even other people decided to recreate them!!! That's how good my pictures were! ;)

    Alma went out of her way and was always easy to get a hold of. Every minute of our photo shoots, was a blast! Not only are they creative and patient, but they are FUN and easy to get along with. My husband and I are very pleased with their work. The quality of their pictures is AMAZING & they are always on time. Family, friends, and even strangers are always raving about my pictures, and telling me how lovely and beautiful they all came out. I am absolutely in love with all of my albums and can't wait to take more pictures with them, in the future!!!

    I had no doubt that they would create some beautiful memories for us, and I am so lucky to have found them! Not only am I a happy customer, but I will be a returning customer!!!! We definitely recommend them! To sum it up : THEY ARE AWESOME!!!!!!

    Smile Loud Photography is simply the best! It is run by two of the most caring and humble people I have come to know. They have fair prices and let you keep all the photos they take. So you don't have to pick and chose.
    I had scheduled my engagement photos with them but tragedy stuck and my future mother-in law passed away. Alma and Paul were so kind hearted that the offered to reschedule. The day of the shoot they offered there deepest condolences and made us feel really at ease.
    They were 100% on board with all my ideas, I wanted old cars and hay bales with lifted trucks, they admitted they had never done a photo shoot like that before but they were willing to try and the photos came out amazing!!
    I also had my bridal photo shoot I wanted a horse and carriage! Again they were both right their with me! I was so blessed to have Alma their that day because my maid of horror canceled on my last min. so I didn't have anyone to help me change and get dresses. Alma stepped right in she didn't have to but it ment the world to me that she did. Working with animals isn't easy but they took really great shots that now my whole family wants.
    They also did my wedding. The pictures came out spectacular!! From start to finish they were there 100% they even helped adjust the lighting to help improve the photos. The photos were delivered in this beautiful case a few weeks out after the wedding.
    Im so pleased with them and their work I will always hire them for future events and continue to recommend them to anyone. If your looking for amazing photos, responsible people whom show up on time and honest people that love what they do then Smile Loud Photography is for you!

    I could not have made a better choice when choosing who to photograph my wedding. The quality of work is fantastic. Both Photographers made us feel very comfortable and they just gave us 150% all the time!!!! They were patient and kind something a bride needs on her wedding day!

    Our engagement photo shoot was also an amazing experience. They took time and made sure that every shot was a "Kodak moment" we loved the photos so much that we used them as our pew decor instead of the traditional flower arrangements. After our ceremony, our guest were complimenting on such great photos and took them to display in their home.

    Thank you Smile Loud Photography for capturing one of the most important days of our lives!

    I was so pleased with Smile Loud Photography. They were easy to work with and their pictures were amazing! They also cost about half of some other photographers that we checked out. They are so professional but so fun! I will defiantly be using them for any photography needs in the future.

    Smile Loud Photography provided excellent service for our wedding. I was so pleased with their work, and felt they captured every special moment. Alma and Paul are such a pleasure to work with; they are very patient, accommodating, and professional. With their creativity they made the shots work, and incorporated our ideas in as well. We recieved many compliments on the outcome of the photos. I would definitely recommend to others :)

    Smile Loud Photography did an excellent job with being prompt, communicating with me on every detail, they were very professional and know exactly what they are doing. No need to worry because they are very good at what they do. Any questions or concerns and they will give a helpful answer or suggestion. They let you call the shots and decide what poses you would like to do and they don't limit you to only a certain amount of pictures, you can take as many or as little as you desire.
    They are very reasonable with price and have excellent customer service! I felt very comfortable and relaxed because Smile Loud was so friendly and helpful every step of the way. I absolutely loved Smile Loud Photography and I am so thankful I found them because they made the memories I have of my wedding perfect. Pictures mean so much to me and I wanted a photographer who was going to capture every big moment in my wedding and Smile Loud did just that. I made the best choice going with Smile Loud because thanks to them I have beautiful pictures that I can look at from my wedding and I love them all. I would choose Smile Loud Photography every time.

    Both photographers from Smile Loud Photography understand how to make shots work. I was very pleased with the amount of photos given to me, the quality of the photos, and the creative eye which the photographers used in making my photos seem like a fairy tale.
    They were very flexible in traveling to be a part of my wedding, and their price was the best I found (Including travel expenses.)
    I would definitely recommend Smile Loud Photography for weddings, parties, and portraits. It was a pleasure working with them!

    Alma and Paul were the best. They helped me capture every moment of my engagement and wedding in the best way. The pictures came out AMAZING, everyone compliments my pictures and tell me that they wish their photographer had been as good. Alma and Paul sat with me and asked for my ideas and gave me theirs as well. Before the wedding they were always just a call or email away and on the wedding day they were with me every step of the way. I'm very very happy with my choice in choosing them as my wedding photographers. =)

    Planning my wedding was a bit challenging being that I live in Houston and was getting married in South Padre Island. I spent MANY hours online looking for photographers and right when I was going to settle on a photographer out of Edinburg, I found Smile Loud Photography’s website and fell in love with their work. All I wanted was breath taking pictures of my wedding day and Smile Loud Photographers did exactly that! When I first received the photos I found myself looking at them for hours! They captured everything I could and couldn’t imagine…. Smile Loud Photographers are now taking our family Christmas pictures and will be our life time photographers!!!

    Alma and Paul were a great choice for our wedding! They have an artistic eye and gave us some great shots to keep those memories alive for years to come.

    Just a couple things we would change if we had the chance: they only snapped one pic of each pose and apparently didn't check them because there are several pics we really wanted where our fam has their eyes closed, or (in the ONLY one w/my dad's fam) my dad wasn't even looking at the camera! This could have been caught w/just a little more care, or even taking several snap shots of each pose (even if they just choose the best to give to us). Also, we wish they would have positioned us for the posed pics, rather than saying 'it's up to you...however you want!' b/c most of the church pics are off-center and could have come out a ton better.

    There's nothing that can be done about those now, but they would be simple to prevent at your big event. Also-they throw in attendance to the the rehearsal/dinner for free! All-in-all, they were the right choice for us and we would recommend them to our family and friends.
