Look no further for the best wedding photographer!

Rueben was an absolute dream wedding photographer! I could not be happier with our wedding day photos, and working with Rueben and his team was such a pleasure from start to finish. From the get-go, Rueben was incredibly communicative, professional, and easy to work with. He was attentive to what I was looking for and came more than prepared for our big day with a clear plan and timeline.

I think what truly sets Rueben apart is his calming presence and ability to make you feel completely at ease. Rueben made my husband and I feel so comfortable and confident—every pose felt natural, and he captured all the emotion and joy without anything ever feeling staged or forced.

The quality of the photos is amazing. Rueben has an incredible eye for light, composition, and detail, and he managed to catch so many beautiful candid moments that we’ll treasure forever.

His turnaround time was fast, and the final gallery was thoughtfully curated and beautifully edited. You can tell he genuinely cares about his couples and takes pride in his work.

If you’re searching for someone who is talented, kind, dependable, and truly invested in making your day unforgettable—look no further. I could not recommend a better photographer.

Best Decision Ever!

We recently had the pleasure of working with Rueben for our June wedding in Mission San Juan Bautista, and we can't express how thrilled we are with our experience! From the moment we met him, we felt an incredible sense of warmth and professionalism. Rueben took the time to get to know us, making us feel at home and truly important throughout the entire process.

The photos and video turned out absolutely stunning! Each shot perfectly reflected the emotions of the day, from the laughter to the joyful tears. We’ve received countless compliments from our family and friends on how beautiful everything turned out.

We wholeheartedly recommend Rueben and his team to anyone looking for a wedding photographer and videographer. Their talent, attention to detail, and ability to make you feel cherished truly set them apart. Thank you for making our special day unforgettable!

Loose Tie is a Must!

Rueben was very timely and professional, but also knew how to have a fun with his craft! He is so helpful with any questions you have and is very willing to work with you if any problems arise. Pricing was just right with a substantial amount of memories captured at a highly professional quality. My husband and I couldn't be more happy with the product he gave us. Thank you Rueben; thank you loosetiephotography!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

Rueben with Loose Tie is awesome! I absolutely love when a client comes to me and says that Loose Tie is doing their photography & Videography package. Just knowing that Rueben is on board gives me the peace of mind that everything having to do with the photos will be perfect for my clients. Rueben (and his talented team) photographed my Niece & Nephew's weddings (one year apart) and I still use his photos to advertise on all of my web sites. Did I mention that he also does videography? Sam & Julie's wedding video is a testimonial to how much of his spirit and love he puts into his work- the music and client character he was able to portray in their video reminds me how much I miss that crazy and fun couple! Ruben, I hope we are able to work together again in 2018- I will be sending clients your way...
