Jose is an absolute gem and is one of the most talented photographers!! He is the nicest human you will meet and the work he does is beyond five stars. My wedding photos are absolute perfection! Jose came recommended by my wedding planner among a few others and I originally passed on him because I had seen some work of his that was a bit darker and less modern for my style (which now I know was his older work). However, after seeing my wedding planner post recent work of his on IG which was very light, bright and airy I fell absolutely in love and we booked him right away. His photography style is unique and so beautiful and he captures everything so eloquently. From our first initial consult to our wedding day, Jose was an absolute pleasure to work with and he captured our day so perfectly. He is very responsive and plans the day so you won’t have any stress from his end which is even more important when you’re planning a destination wedding. He makes you feel comfortable behind the camera and I promise you’ll be wowed by the result. An added bonus was waking up the day after our wedding to instagram photos I could share and an entire sneak peak album!! I don’t think he slept that night but it was the most amazing thing to relive the big day that next morning with my husband through his gorgeous photos!! We now consider Jose a friend and know if we ever need more photos we’ll be traveling back to Puerto Rico!

Jose Ruiz and his team were absolutely amazing as our destination wedding photographers. From the moment we reached out, their responsiveness was impeccable. They were always clear and concise, communicating through the online portal with ease, which made the entire process smooth and stress-free. Their professionalism was evident in every interaction. Our contract was communicated clearly, leaving no room for confusion. We were especially impressed with Jose's online portfolio, which beautifully showcased his exceptional work and made us confident in our choice. We opted for the highest package, and we do not regret it one bit. Jose and his team provided exceptional service and delivered stunning photos that exceeded our expectations. On our wedding day, their flexibility was remarkable. Despite the usual wedding day chaos, Jose and his team remained calm, cool, and collected. They ensured a seamless process from getting ready at Hotel El Convento to the ceremony and reception, capturing every precious moment without missing a beat. What truly set Jose apart was the genuine care he showed for us and our special day. He met with us two days before the wedding to go over the timeline, asking us about our expectations and ensuring he highlighted the most important moments. This personal touch made all the difference. Jose Ruiz has not only been our wedding photographer but has also become a lifelong friend in the process. My husband and I could not be happier with our decision to hire him. Jose captured every detail so flawlessly, and we are incredibly thankful to have these memories to cherish forever. Thank you, Jose, for making our wedding day so special and for providing us with such stunning photos that we will treasure for a lifetime.

Jose is an extremely talented and professional photographer! But most of all, he’s an amazingly kind and fun person. Your photographer will help set the mood for most of your day, so to us it was very important that not only they were talented, but also they had that magic touch and attitude to help you through your day. Jose is an all-in package!

In our case, when tensions ran high at the beginning of our love story shoot (because the groom and I were running late) Jose kept us cool and immediately turned our moods around. We knew then that our wedding day would be amazing, and it was!

The wedding was perfect. Jose integrated seamlessly to the fun mood in the bridal suite and kept it up through the whole night. All our pictures turned out great, from suites to ceremony to the reception, and Jose had all the right prompts to get us variety of poses without feeling inauthentic. For us, it was most important to have pictures together, and the rest to be candids with our guests. Jose captured it all perfectly. When we got to our honeymoon, we already had a preview of so many beautiful pictures, and he definitely over-delivered on the final count, which we got less than a month after. We can’t thank him enough for taking such care in preserving the memories of our big day!

Jose's skill and talent speak for themselves, but beyond his undeniable ability to capture special moments, what this review is meant to convey is how amazing it was to work with him. He took the time to get to know us through engagement photos and coffee ahead of the wedding, which made us feel like he genuinely knew that the photos would be better if he took the time to meet us beforehand and he was absolutely right! We have told everyone, that Jose was the best decision we made in regards to our wedding (and 2 months later we still feel that way!).

Jose's amazing! He's personable, gives great direction, takes amazing photos, and delivered everything within a month of our wedding!

Where to start? I was nervous about the photographer for so many reasons... I don't know how to pose, I don't speak Spanish, everyone tells you not to pick the wrong photographer. Jose made all my worries disappear. First, he's so personable and took time to get to know us before our wedding day so that we didn't feel awkward with him on the day. The day of he gave simple instructions that made taking the photos easy and fun. And now that we have the prints, we are obsessed! I look like I know how to pose! We told him our vision for our photos and he delivered. He was also fun to work with and surprised us with how quickly he delivered quality products! If I ever need a professional photographer again, I'm booking Jose.

We had Jose photograph our wedding and our love story photos. His level of technique and skill is superior to the point that he makes it looks super easy! Jose was genuine, personable, patient, and overall so easy to be relaxed around. We had top highlight photos in our inbox before we even ended the reception! He will leave you with breathtaking photos to last you a lifetime! I’m already looking for an excuse to book him again!

Dicen que una buena imagen vale más que mil palabras, y mi esposa y yo les podemos decir que las imágenes de Jose valen más de un millón!

Uno de nuestros miedos era no poder capturar los momentos más especiales de nuestra boda, pero Jose hizo un trabajo fuera de serie y nos ayudo a asegurarnos de tener recuerdos muy muy especiales de nuestro gran día! Jose y su equipo hicieron un excelente trabajo guiándonos durante el photoshoot de novios en los mejores lugares de nuestro venue de manera muy eficiente gracias a su gran experiencia en esta industria, capturando unas fotos mejores de las que nos hubiéramos podido imaginar!

Ellos demostraron mucha creatividad y buena actitud en el proceso, y se aseguraron de encontrar los mejores ángulos, iluminación, naturaleza, y aun mas importante, hicieron que nuestras fotos se vean muy naturales, y capturaron esa emoción de felicidad y amor en nuestros rostros.

Durante el evento en sí, tomaron unas fotos espectaculares y muy naturales de mi esposa y yo disfrutando nuestro gran día con nuestras familias y amistades. Ellos siempre estuvieron disponibles y en nuestra vista para cuando deseábamos tomarnos fotos con cualquiera de nuestros invitados.

Podemos decir que gracias a Jose, nosotros recordaremos nuestro gran día de una manera aun más especial debido a tantos momentos muy significativos para nosotros que él ayudo a capturar. Un millón de gracias Jose!

Jose is so incredible! He exceeded any and all of our expectations. Our photos are unbelievably gorgeous. He was efficient, cool, and such a pleasure to be around. He was flexible and captured every single one of our dream shots! As a shocking bonus, he sent our reception photos to us within 12 hours, and the wedding gallery was sent 3 days later! Can’t sing his praises enough.

I first saw Jose Ruiz’s work on Instagram. His style and aesthetic are what drew me to his work. My husband and I first met him during an engagement session a few months before our wedding. Jose made us feel comfortable in front of the camera and talked us through poses to make us look natural. On the wedding day, he brought a very positive and exciting energy! He notices all the small details and documents them well. Much to our surprise, Jose provided us with 200+ highlight photos the morning after our wedding! We are truly thankful we chose Jose to document our wedding day!

Jose worked with us in rebooking our wedding on 4 different dates due to Covid and each time he was incredibly professional and understanding. On the day of the wedding he was amazing at guiding us through what photos would look good while also making sure we were relaxed and the process was as natural as possible. He gave us a preview of our wedding pictures on the night of which was so incredible to be able to see so quickly! The quality is amazing and he really captured every part of the day. Highly recommend Jose for your wedding or special event!
