Proposal Photos

Great value for the money. I did not know Costa Rica at all. Maria helped me pick a perfect spot for the proposal and was super flexible with timing and location until the last minute. I needed someone I could trust to help me plan the proposal, and Maria is the perfect person

Absolutely Incredible!

I couldn't be happier with the amazing work from Maria and Alex! They captured every special moment so beautifully, from the big highlights to the small, emotional details. The photos are stunning, and the video brings the whole day back to life. Their professionalism, creativity, and calming presence made the day even more memorable. Highly recommend!

Great experience! I love the way our photos came out!

Loved how my engagement pictures turned out! My fiancé had been working with them for a little bit, and they were very responsive and easy to communicate with. The day that was originally planned for the surprise engagement got rained out, but they were super helpful and were able to work out a time to reschedule. The turn around time for all our pictures was super quick and I absolutely loved how they turned out!

From start to finish, they were kind and informative.

I honestly have nothing but GOOD things to say about these two. They were kind, fun, respectful and just delightful to work with ion our very intimate wedding day. We just had our family but I wanted it to still feel like a wedding. They were awesome. WE LOVE OUR PHOTOS. ❤️

We love Reef!!

Our experience with Reef Photography was nothing short of magical. We used Reef Photography for our engagement photoshoot and wedding and it worked out incredibly well. From start to finish, every moment captured went beyond what I thought was possible. What stood out the most was their impeccable attention to detail and their humanness in all our interactions. The team's creativity and seamless communication made the photo session feel like a fun adventure tailored just for us.

Our experience with Reef Photography was overwhelmingly positive. The pricing was exceptional for the quality of service provided and aligned well with our budget. Additionally, the editing process was WAY FASTER than expected and the final results were stunning.

Our favorite aspect of the Reef Photography team (besides the amazing quality, pricing, and ease of communication) was how personable they were. It felt like we had hired our own friends for the job. Posing for the engagement shoot felt relaxed and natural and it was reflected in the photos. They were very friendly in conversations between shoots and they even involved themselves in our rubber ducky theme by wearing their own duckies!

In terms of negative aspects, I don’t have any!

Overall, we feel incredibly grateful to have found Reef Photography for our special day. They truly captured the essence of our wedding in the most beautiful and creative way possible. Despite a few minor delays on our wedding day, they were able to adapt and the end result far exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend Reef Photography to any couple looking for a talented and dedicated team to document their love story.

Perfect surprise proposal

We had a lovely experience with Maria! She was very profesional and communication was perfect. The engagement pictures were lovely. The surprise proposal went as plan and my fiancé did not even notice she was there. Would definitely recommend!
