Thelma M. Married on 01/06/2023
Engagement Session
Carlos was an absolute pleasure to work with and made our engagement photo shoot so easy! During our introductory phone call, we discussed my desired location to make sure that it was safe for all of us to be socially distanced due to Covid-19 restrictions. I was nervous about going into Manhattan so he came to us in Queens. He was very responsive over email and text to the questions I sent prior to our session. Carlos showed up super early (way before us) to scout locations within the park and also asked us for our ideas so that we all agreed on a theme.
This was our first time working with a photographer and he calmed our nerves by showing us poses that we can try and telling jokes so we could smile more effortlessly. He made sure that we were picture-perfect by offering us lint brushes and oil control sheets throughout the session. He even carried my sandals around when I had to swap out into my heels as we walked around. During one pose where my fiance wanted to lift me, he directed him on how to execute and pick me up, so that I was never dropped or injured (that could have been a disaster!).
By the end of our session, we hadn't even noticed that Carlos gave us an additional free half-hour to our time slot to make sure that we got the perfect sunset light.
Photos were available in the gallery within 1-2 business days. He is so talented! He took over 500 photos and they're all so great; it's hard to pick which ones to have him retouch.
We couldn't be happier and are looking to shoot with Carlos again soon. Hit him up; you won't regret it! -

Alana A. Married on 08/27/2022Cannot recommend Carlos enough!
Carlos photographed our engagement last summer, and recently shot my bridal shower as well. He always does an amazing time and is great to work with! I cannot recommend him enough to capture your memories and special moments. -

Stephanie Married on 10/27/2018Carlos was wonderful! He was very responsive as well as easy to work with. When we first started taking our engagement photos with him, we were a little awkward (as neither of us like being the center of attention), but he gave us great tips and helped us get the most out of our photos. We also brought our dog, and he worked so well with her too.
Carlos was patient, flexible with timing, and sent us the link to our photos in record time. I know people that had to wait for months for their engagement photos, but we only had to wait a few days. We have so many beautiful pictures that it will be hard to choose which ones to use. I would recommend Carlos to anyone looking for a photographer, especially one near NYC. Thank you Carlos! -

Christine Married on 05/19/2017Carlos was the photographer for our City Hall Wedding in NYC. He did a phenomenal job! He was on time and extremely knowledgeable of the City Hall process. He captured very special candid moments between my husband and I and all our family and friends. My grandmother was running late and he was very considerate of this fact and showed that he cared to capture my grandmother in this special moment.

Alice Married on 11/26/2018We found Carlos on Groupon and he worked with us to tailor to what we needed for our wedding day on a very short notice. Carlos photographed our first look, Ceremony and family / friends portraits. Very professional, easy to work with, organized and delivered the negatives to us very quickly. Exceeded our expectations and the ten touched up images came out great- very detailed. Thanks Carlos! -
