Best decision ever! Amazing photos and so much fun with Hector & Tessa!
I cannot say enough amazing things about Hector, Tessa, and their team!!! From the very beginning, they were an absolute dream to work with.
We first met Hector during our engagement shoot, and he immediately made us feel so comfortable and natural (which we needed). Then on the wedding day, we got to meet the beautiful Tessa, and this husband and wife duo is EVERYTHING. They are so fun, kind, and bring the best energy.
Their style was exactly what we were looking for: movement-based, in-the-moment, and capturing real emotion while still getting stunning portraits. We are truly obsessed with our photos.
Throughout the entire process, they were responsive, thoughtful, and worked seamlessly with our planner to keep everything on track. I had zero stress when it came to photography.
They made me feel so confident and beautiful, and I will be recommending them to everyone I know. They are worth every single penny. If you can book them, DO IT!

A Dream Team Who Captures Pure Emotion
Hector is truly the best, and Tessa is the perfect complement, together they are magic. I fell in love with Hector's work and booked him once we confirmed the date with the venue. During our engagement shoot, Hector made us feel instantly comfortable and captured photos that were beyond stunning. On the wedding day, they both helped us look and feel our best while keeping everything natural and fun. They have a rare gift for capturing genuine emotion; our photos and video are filled with joy, love, and the exact energy of the day. Looking at them brings us right back into those moments. If you’re considering them, don’t hesitate - they are exceptional.
Héctor es realmente el mejor, y Tessa es el complemento perfecto; juntos son pura magia. Me enamoré del trabajo de Héctor y lo reservé en cuanto confirmamos la fecha con el lugar. Durante nuestra sesión de compromiso, Héctor nos hizo sentir cómodos de inmediato y capturó fotos simplemente espectaculares. El día de la boda, ambos nos ayudaron a vernos y sentirnos en nuestra mejor versión, manteniendo todo natural y divertido. Tienen un don único para capturar emociones genuinas; nuestras fotos y video están llenos de alegría, amor y la energía exacta de ese día. Verlos nos transporta de nuevo a esos momentos. Si están considerando contratarlos, no lo duden: son excepcionales.

Thank you!
Photos have always been deeply meaningful to me, so choosing the right photographer felt personal from the start. When I reached out to Photos by Hector, something just clicked. They are the kind of husband and wife team that makes you feel cared for right away. I connected with Tessa instantly, especially over our love for our pets, and talking to her felt like talking to a friend. Hector photographed our wedding and captured moments that I will hold close forever.
I am still going through all the photos. There are plenty of those “ugly smiles.” Brides, you know exactly what I mean. You swear you are going to serve face all day, but when you are that happy, Vogue can wait, lol
One of the things I appreciate the most is having such incredible photos of our guests. That is often overlooked, and seeing every single person we love having the time of their lives is more than I could have asked for. Hector’s work is a true expression of happiness, and that joy shines through.
My only regret? Not hiring Hector for more hours. 4 was not enough.
Thank you again for capturing our day with so much heart and honesty. I wish you both all the best. (Your team, too) ❤️

The Best Experience!
When I came across Hector’s page, I instantly knew his style was exactly what I wanted for our engagement shoot. Still, I was a bit nervous to reach out — he was in another country, and the whole idea felt so foreign to me. Thankfully, my fiancé encouraged me to go for it, and I’m so glad I did! Hector replied quickly, answered every question I had, and before I knew it, we were on our way to Puerto Rico.
The photos turned out even better than I imagined, especially the candid shots. I’d never done a professional photoshoot before, but Hector made us feel completely at ease. He guided us effortlessly while still giving us space to enjoy the experience and even take a few of our own photos.
If you’re on the fence about booking, don’t hesitate — just do it. You won’t regret it.

5+ Star Artist Dedicated to his Craft
Hector is an absolute genius and artist in his craft. Incredibly talented. Before I was even dating and engaged I had stumbled across Hector's work and fell in love with his style. His shots capture a beautiful candid light of his subjects with such an almost cinematic touch to his photos. He was so helpful and kind with all our communication. I wanted him to take our wedding photos but unfortunately I live in Florida, so making a mid week far wedding work in between two weekend wedding shoots is super difficult. However, that for sure will not stop me and my soon to be husband from booking all our future milestone photo shoots with Hector every time we go back to PR.
Our engagement photo shoot literally exceeded our wildest dreams and we couldn't be more happy. Hector deserves way more than 5 stars. He genuinely made us both feel so comfortable and we had a great time with him! I couldn't recommend Hector and his wife more!

Our wedding photos are a masterpiece!
Normally, my husband and I are remarkably unphotogenic. The moment a camera is pointed in our direction, we look like we’re being hunted for sport. But you’d never know it looking at our wedding album.
Hector and Tessa are true artists and professionals. They have a unique talent for making you feel completely at ease in front of the camera while capturing your true essence. They were so kind, fun, and went out of their way to get the perfect shots.
I still can’t believe these are my wedding photos. We will cherish them forever. I couldn’t recommend them enough! 10/10

Just Fantastic!
Working with Hector was a dream! He truly cares about the work he produces and puts his ALL into capture the most special moments of the day. He was thoughtful, kind and intentional with all of his efforts, planning and communication prior to the wedding and day of. He calm energy and "behind the scenes" vibe allowed us to be super present during our wedding day and not have to worry about too many "posed" moments. I would definitely recommend hiring the second photographer for a few hours during your most desired times of capture. We did that - and it was a great decision! His prices are super reasonable and the value + gallery size you get is unmatched! He captures great candids and magical moments. Just make sure you fill out his survey prior to make sure you get the best and most important shots you want! I would definitely recommend him as your wedding photographer!

The Best in PR
Hiring Hector and Tessa was the best decision I made for my wedding! They were so easy to work with and played the perfect role in capturing our perfect day! They were professional and knew who and when to take pictures without much direction. Hector sent our sneak peak within 2-3 days of the wedding and we got our album before 2 months which is incredible!!! Our pre wedding shoot was sooo fun. Hire them! Worth every penny.
Thank you Hector and Tessa! We’ve spend hours going through our photos and talking about all the amazing moments you guys captured. Can’t wait for the video!
