Javier is amazing! Best wedding photographer!

We loved Javier! He is so genuine and made us feel so at ease and comfortable the entire time. Sometimes he would just ask us questions and take pictures of us telling him a story, and those pictures turned out to be some of my favorites. He makes a real effort to get to know the couples that he shoots so that he can truly capture their love and story in his photos. I’m obsessed with all of our wedding pictures! I would highly recommend Javier for your wedding!

Incredible photos

I am beyond grateful for the incredible experience I had with Javier as my elopement photographer. From the moment we met, they radiated warmth and professionalism. He made us feel completely at ease throughout the entire process. His patience and kindness were truly remarkable, and it made all the difference on our special day. Not only did they capture breathtaking images that perfectly encapsulated the magic of our elopement, but they also made me feel absolutely beautiful in every shot. Their attention to detail and creativity shone through in every photograph, and I am forever grateful for the memories they captured. If you're looking for a photographer who will not only deliver stunning images but also make you feel like the most beautiful version of yourself, Javier is the one for you. I cannot recommend him highly enough

Best decision you'll make for your wedding!

Javier is a true artist- he takes the task of wedding photographer very seriously but also managed to make me laugh and enjoy the whole process.
From our very first meeting to the last photo snapped at the wedding, Javier made me feel comfortable, beautiful and at ease, knowing we had put the most important job at our wedding into expert hands.
Javier was professional, open, flexible and kind throughout and helped me and my partner feel at ease and happy. He had wonderful ideas for locations and poses and, most importantly for me, blended into the wedding, never distracting or detracting from the magical feel of the moment. Do yourself a favor and hire Javier for your wedding- he is a true master of his craft and a joy to work with!
