Cannot recommend Carlos enough!

Carlos photographed our engagement last summer, and recently shot my bridal shower as well. He always does an amazing time and is great to work with! I cannot recommend him enough to capture your memories and special moments.

Great experience

My fiancé and I had such a great experience with Carlos for our photoshoot. He was so professional and easy to work with. We loved that he was able to direct us through a variety of poses and made us feel very comfortable throughout our session. He took us to multiple locations within Central Park so we could have a variety of photos to choose from for our Save the Date. We loved how all of our photos turned out. 10/10 would recommend, Carlos is a fantastic photographer!

Engagement Session

Carlos was an absolute pleasure to work with and made our engagement photo shoot so easy! During our introductory phone call, we discussed my desired location to make sure that it was safe for all of us to be socially distanced due to Covid-19 restrictions. I was nervous about going into Manhattan so he came to us in Queens. He was very responsive over email and text to the questions I sent prior to our session. Carlos showed up super early (way before us) to scout locations within the park and also asked us for our ideas so that we all agreed on a theme.

This was our first time working with a photographer and he calmed our nerves by showing us poses that we can try and telling jokes so we could smile more effortlessly. He made sure that we were picture-perfect by offering us lint brushes and oil control sheets throughout the session. He even carried my sandals around when I had to swap out into my heels as we walked around. During one pose where my fiance wanted to lift me, he directed him on how to execute and pick me up, so that I was never dropped or injured (that could have been a disaster!).

By the end of our session, we hadn't even noticed that Carlos gave us an additional free half-hour to our time slot to make sure that we got the perfect sunset light.

Photos were available in the gallery within 1-2 business days. He is so talented! He took over 500 photos and they're all so great; it's hard to pick which ones to have him retouch.

We couldn't be happier and are looking to shoot with Carlos again soon. Hit him up; you won't regret it!

Carlos was great! We did a two hour engagement photo shoot with him in DUMBO and he knew all of the great spots to shoot at. He provided some direction, and showed us pictures off his camera so that we knew the types of photos he was getting. As it got dark earlier than expected, and we still had time left in our shoot, instead of finishing up that day, Carlos offered to finish the shoot another day (without extra charge!) so that we could get natural lighting. It was so nice that he cared more about the quality of the photos as opposed to just getting the job done. We ended up finishing our photo shoot two weeks later. The pictures he took came out great and he gave us access to all of the photos within a week! I would definitely recommend him.

Carlos was incredible!! He was so flexible with us and always quickly responded when we spoke. He took beautiful pictures of us in Dumbo and knew all the best spots for photographs. He sent all 300+ photos back to us within 48 hours! I highly recommend Carlos as a photographer!

We loved working with Carlos on our engagement photos! He was incredibly efficient and professional (despite our being incredibly awkward and nervous). Our pictures came out beautifully!

Carlos was amazing. He was patient with our family and took us all over NYC to great spots for my daughters graduation portraits. I would definitely recommend him other people and use him again personally.

Carlos was amazing! We took an "organized chaotic" family photo and he was great positioning us, capturing the light, and taking the perfect shots of everyone in one picture (including my one year old). We also took picture of just my fiancee and myself in our condo complex and they came out incredible. Looks like we're in Central Park. We received about 110 pictures back from just and hour of shooting.

Our experience with Carlos was wonderful! He was very flexible with scheduling and was accommodating as we wanted our puppy with us for this event! Throughout the shoot he even went so far as to make noises and shake his keys while taking pictures to keep our dog's attention! Additionally, turn around time between taking the photos and having them for review was very quick. He does a beautiful job and we highly recommend.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
