    Emilio was the best ally to have for our elopement

    We eloped in Costa Rica, alone with our three kids of 7, 14 and 19, and planned everything ahead of time from Canada. We chose Emilio based on his portfolio, artistic approach and communication skills. We could not be happier with both the pictures themselves but also with having him by our side for our very special day. He was approachable, kind, funny and so talented. He was both present when needed but also "disappeared" the rest of the time, behind his camera - catching everything from various angles, in a very discreet way. He met us in our San Carlos location (an AirBnB an hour from La Fortuna) the night before to get to know us and get a sense of what we wanted and what was important to us. He helped pick specific spots for a memorable "trash the dress" session in a nearby river. We trusted him completely to understand what we wanted and our style. After 48 hours, we received a very generous first round of pictures, which we were so happy to share with friends and family since we eloped abroad. Many mnay thanks Emilio, we will think of you everytime we look at our beautiful pictures :)

    Wedding in Paradise

    Words can’t express my experience with Emilio! He was willing to go above and beyond for my wedding. Making sure we get the perfect setting and angles. He arrived on time if not early. Positive attitude and personality. Make sure you book him and experience what I’ve experienced!!!

    A lovely experience

    Emilio was helpful from the very beginning. He was responsive, quick to reply, polite, flexible and very helpful. He offered very good value for money and we have been extremely happy with our photos. He helped us to feel relaxed with the photo taking and many of the pictures are natural and not posed for. Which is great because it shows how we felt and our experiences during the day. Would certainly highly recommend him for your special day.

    Stunning Engagement Photos by Talented Photographer Emilo

    I recently had the pleasure of working with Emilo for my engagement shoot, and I couldn't be happier with the results! From the moment we met, Emilo made us feel comfortable and at ease in front of the camera. His warm and friendly personality made the entire shoot feel like a fun and relaxed experience.

    What stood out to me the most was how Emilo took the time to get to know us as a couple before the shoot. He listened to our ideas and preferences, and worked with us to create a shoot that truly reflected our personalities and love for each other. Emilo was also incredibly professional and organized, which made the entire process seamless and stress-free.

    The photos themselves are absolutely stunning! Emilo has an incredible eye for detail and knows how to capture the perfect moment. The photos are vibrant, full of life, and truly capture the essence of our relationship. We've received so many compliments on our engagement photos, and we can't thank Emilo enough for creating such beautiful memories that we'll treasure for a lifetime.

    Overall, I highly recommend Emilo to anyone looking for a talented and professional photographer who truly cares about their clients. He is an absolute pleasure to work with, and his passion for photography truly shines through in his work. Thank you, Emilo, for an unforgettable experience and stunning photos!

    Engagement photos

    The experience shared with Emilio as a photographer was magical. For us it was a very important moment because they were going to be the photos with which we were going to announce our engagement. It was a beautiful morning, walking the streets to choose the best photos. The way he guides you in the photo session is very professional as well as jovial. The photos were beautiful and he delivered them to us very quickly. I highly recommend Emilio's work, because in addition to being some excellent photographs, the session was a magical moment.

    Emilio did our pre-wedding photo session and we couldn’t be happier with the end result. Emilio is very friendly, open minded and has great ideas on how to setup the photos.
