My husband and I recently used Ruben Ramos Photography for our wedding in May. Ruben and his wife/assistant Dawn are extremely professional, fun, and beyond creative and we absolutely love our pictures! He has a keen eye for what will create a good shot and was extremely patient with us as we hurried through different locations and sites for our pictures. Our pictures were delivered to us in an extremely timely manner and the quality was fabulous! I would absolutely recommend Ruben for photography services!

Quinceañera party

I want to share our honest experience with Rubén and his wife because I would not want another family to go through the same frustration, especially for such an important event as a wedding or a quinceañera.
We hired Rubén and his wife to photograph and record my son’s quinceañera. It was a beautiful and very special celebration. From the beginning, we gave them a deposit and explained exactly what we wanted for the event. However, from the moment we paid the deposit, we constantly had to follow up with Rubén. We were always the ones calling and asking questions because he never properly coordinated anything with us—not the schedule, not the timeline, and not the details of the event.
By that point, we were already very dissatisfied with the lack of communication. The only time he made sure to contact us was when it was time for us to make the remaining payment.
On the day of the celebration, Rubén arrived late to the venue. He did not record or capture many of the things my son and our family had specifically requested. When we finally received the video, we were extremely disappointed. The video has serious quality issues—it moves excessively while recording, and there are sections that are completely black where you cannot see anything. It was not the quality of video we expected or paid for.
Our event was in April, and we are still waiting for our photos and album. Despite this, Rubén insisted on receiving the full payment, saying that he had had bad experiences with clients in the past. Unfortunately, in our case, the bad experience ended up being ours. We paid him in full, and we feel that he did not fulfill the service he promised.
My husband has been extremely patient with Rubén throughout this entire situation. He has given him plenty of time, contacted him repeatedly, and tried to be understanding and give him the opportunity to make things right. But at this point, I am done. We have been more than patient, and we feel that Rubén has been far from professional throughout this entire experience. In our opinion, his work did not meet the standards we expected from a professional photographer and videographer.
We have tried contacting him regarding our photos and album, but he has avoided us and has offered only $200 back instead of completing what we originally paid for. We also understand that he is no longer at the photography location where he previously worked.
I will also be posting screenshots of our conversations and other documentation on the Facebook quinceañera group so that people can see the proof and understand that everything I am sharing in this review is based on our actual experience and communication with him.
For us, this was a very important moment for our family, and it is heartbreaking to feel that those memories were not captured the way we were promised.
I am sharing this review simply to make other families aware of our experience. If you are planning an important event such as a wedding, quinceañera, or another major celebration, I strongly recommend doing your research and making sure you are completely comfortable with the photographer/videographer before making a full payment.
Unfortunately, based on our experience, we would not recommend Rubén for photography or videography services.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
