Great service!

Jesus was great! My wife and I both approve of his work on our special day over nine years ago! Thank you Jesus!

Highly Recommend!

518 Photos was the photographer for our wedding...5 years ago! I forgot to write a review back then. However, the fact that I remembered to do it now is a testament to how much we loved working with this vendor.

Our anniversary is today, and I am reminded of all the love, fun, and chaos of our wedding, which was almost ruined by a lousy DJ. However, Jesus and his team, along with the coordinator at our venue, made sure that our day was amazing. We not only remember the specials moments thanks to these great photos, but also because of the professionalism and kindness that Jesus and his team showed.

518 Photos was always quick to respond, professional, kind, and FUN! They made me feel comfortable during our engagement and wedding photos, which is not an easy feat for me.

I highly recommend them. The price cannot be beat for the quality you will get. You will NOT regret your choice!

We had the best experience with 518 photos! He was patient with us. It was freezing outside in January and he didn't mind. My pictures were beautiful and he was so reasonably priced. We hired him last minute and he accommodated us. We would recommend him to anyone. We are having him do our maternity photos in April.

Jesús Rivas (518Photos) was amazing! He offered great package options, was very engaging and fun during our wedding, and he produces a very high quality of work. He will be the first person we call for future events.

We LOVED having Jesus capture our wedding day for us! He is very talented and creative! He was able to get wonderful shots.  He was very professional and pleasant to work with, he made us all feel comfortable in front of the camera. My guests all thought he was friendly and courteous. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer for their special day. Jesus has also taken pictures of my newborn twins and did a lovely job with them as well.

Jesus Rivas is a phenomenal photographer, he pays attention to detail and captures the most precious moment of your event. He was my wedding photographer and he spent most of the day dedicated to capturing our special day. He made my entire family comfortable and he felt like a part of the family. He is very professional and very reasonably priced. I recommend 518 Photos for any event.

My fiancé and I had our engagement photos done at Thatcher Park by Jesus of 518Photos. He is very professional and knew all of the good spots at Thatcher. It was a great experience and the photos came out great. The value was also second to none. We could not have been happier with the service provided.
