Photographer Who Quickly Became a Friend!

Where to start... Rocio was AMAZING to work with, not to mention that her photos were everything we hoped for and more! She was so flexible with our engagement pictures and rescheduled with us when it started raining a little while in. She took us to two locations that we LOVED and were so colorful and fun. We do not live in Charlotte and she researched and found exactly what we wanted. She captured our wedding beautifully as well. She was so calm and comforting the entire day and had so many creative ideas on where to go that photographed so well! We cannot say enough about her and are so grateful that we had her capture our special day and gained a friend in her as well! THANK YOU!

Happy Bride

'The Best' doesn't even come close to describing how awesome Rocio and her husband were. They were easy going, professional, comedic when needed and all around a pleasure to have. Even my guests loved them! She arranged each posed photo effortlessly and caught great candids as well. At one point I was a lil frazzled getting ready and having everyone else get ready but she jumped in and calmed my nerves without missing a beat. She will always be my photographer because I refuse to use anyone else from here on out.

Rocio was an absolute blast to work with. She was up for trying all sorts of poses, places and came prepared with pose options as well. She spent time with our family as if we were part of hers! It was such a great experience working with her, and can’t wait to do another shoot with her when we renew our vows!

We had the pleasure of working with Rocio when she shot our wedding in 2012. Rocio was very professional and got to know my husband and I well on our one on one. She exceeded our expectations! She was so hands on and creative with our poses and photography locations. Such a great positive attitude throughout the entire occasion. The pictures we will cherish forever. We recommend her to all friends and family. If you’re looking for quality work, professionalism and someone that truly cares about making your day special she’s your girl!!!!

Today, we had our engagement photo shoot with Rocio. We are super happy! She was so sweet and professional. Before our session, she shared pictures with me and ideas. Rocio cares about the details. My fiancé doesn’t like pictures, but with Rocio everything was perfect, and she knew to handle the situation. Also, Rocio was special with us, and she made a sign for our photos with our names and the date of our wedding. Moreover, in less and hour Rocio shared a picture with us. I can’t wait to have my wedding pictures with Rocio. I recommend all the brides to call Rocio for her photo shoot.
Hoy tuvimos nuestra sesión de fotos de compromisos con Rocio. Nosotros estamos muy felices. Ella fue súper dulce y profesional. Antes de nuestra sesión de fotos ella compartió conmigo fotos e ideas. Rocio cuida los detalles. Mi fiancé no le gustan las fotos, pero con Rocio todo estuvo perfecto y ella supo manejar la situación. Rocio fue tan especial que nos regaló un cuadrito con nuestras fotos y la fecha de nuestro matrimonio. Además, en menos de una hora Rocio nos envió una foto de la sesión para que la pudiéramos compartir con nuestra familia y amigos. No puedo esperar para tener las fotos de nuestro matrimonio con Rocio. Yo le recomiendo a todas las futuras novias que llamen a Rocio para sus fotos de compromiso y matrimonio.

Rocio, is a superb photographer and my engagement photo session with her was amazing. Her attention to detail was excellent in terms of poses to background content in the photos. She is extremely personable and put my husband to be and I at ease during the engagement photo shoot. Rocio has a powerful combination of not only having her own vision for photos but also has the flexibility to incorporate other ideas into this vision or completely change this vision based on requests. When I saw the engagement photos I was not only happy and proud but also amazed at their beauty. Rocio truly captured the essence of my husband to be and I. I am looking forward to having Rocio as my wedding photographer where not only will I get a seasoned professional taking these photos but also an extremely wonderful person to be around as well. I highly recommend having Rocio as your photographer for many types of events!!!
