    Couldn't Ask for Better!

    Romulo was everything I wanted in a photographer! Our photos are more beautiful than I could have imagined. I absolutely adore them. My favorite aspect was that he didn't only focus on the bride and groom, but got amazing shots of our family, wedding party, and friends. The candid shots are everything I hoped they would be. He was so easy to work with, and I felt so comfortable during the entire process. If I ever need photos for any other event, I will not hesitate to contact him!

    Thoughtful Photographer with Incredible Skill!

    Working with Romulo was an absolute pleasure. We came from out of town to do a very particular engagement photo shoot at The House on the Rock in Spring Green, Wisconsin. Initially I had to reschedule last minute because our flight was cancelled - Romulo was reassuring and totally understanding. Once we had rescheduled to the following week, I ended up being late and forgetting to alert staff we would be taking pictures. Romulo never missed a beat - he was there early, was patient, helpful, and incredibly understanding. Neither my fiance nor I had had our pictures taken by a professional photographer before, but Romulo easily calmed our jitters and made us comfortable and confident. He was professional and accommodating every step of the way through the process. Our pictures turned out phenomenally and we received some truly amazing and thoughtful compliments on what are definitely the best photos we've ever had taken of each other together! If you want a professional, thoughtful photographer, look no further than Ueda Photography.

    Artistic photos, amazing photographer!

    We worked with Romulo Ueda for both our engagement and wedding photos. He's an amazing photographer! Our officiant had worked with him before and told everyone to "do exactly what Romulo says because he is an artist," and she was correct! His photographic style is photojournalism, meaning you'll get incredible photos that candidly capture the spirit of your event. His photos are dynamic and interesting in a way that I haven't really seen before, which is what really interested us in working with Romulo for our wedding day.

    Our engagement photos turned out extremely well, and we were comfortable knowing he'd take excellent photos during our wedding day. We've received many compliments from family and friends on the photos. I'd definitely work with Romulo again for any of my photographer needs in Madison!

    Also, Romulo is extremely quick to respond to email and other forms of communication, which is a huge plus when working with any wedding vendor.

    Beautiful timeless photographs from a professional

    When we began looking for a wedding photographer, we saw the portfolios of many photographers that used a ‘dark’ or ‘moody’ style and many others that used an overexposed dreamy style where half the image is washed out. Neither style appealed to us. We didn’t know how to describe (or google for) what we wanted, beyond that we didn’t like those styles and aren’t into posed photographs. After meeting Romulo, his ‘photojournalism’ style was exactly what we were looking for!

    As is immediately obvious from looking at the portfolio on his website, Romulo is technically and artistically an excellent photographer. We couldn’t be more pleased with the photos we got from him. They capture the scene as we remember it. He worked in and among the crowd perfectly and some guests even commented that he seemed to be finding great places to shoot from and used lighting creatively.

    Romulo was also a delight to work with at every stage of the process. He stayed in touch in case we needed something from him (but did not get in the way). He was okay with some ambiguity about what time we wanted him to arrive (due to our lack of planning). We got our pictures from Romulo electronically very quickly and the high quality digital files (with full printing rights etc) on a USB stick a few days later.

    I would recommend Ueda Photography to anyone who wants beautiful timeless photographs!

    Absolutely amazing!

    Romulo was amazing! I can't say enough good things about him. He caught so many special moments, was extremely professional, and the final results were even better than I could have ever hoped for!!!

    Reliving the Moment: Madison's Best Wedding Photographer Beyond Doubt

    Romulo Ueda is an absolute pleasure to work with. He is relaxed, friendly, and a perfect professional. We hired him to photograph our wedding and he went above and beyond to capture each special moment in our day. His work is done in the photojournalism style, so every time I look back at the photographs from the day, it’s like I’m experiencing the moment as it happened all over again. We were blessed to work with such a creative individual. Thank you, Romulo!

    Great photographer!

    Romulo did an amazing job at our wedding, always seeming to be in the right spot at the right time. He also was great at directing our family during the group shot time.

    Honest, Expressive Moments Captured

    Anyone with an expensive camera can take a decent staged portrait, but it takes a gifted professional to truly capture the energy of an event. This is where Romulo shines. His eye for creative, candid, and emotion-filled shots is unmatched. Years later I look at our wedding photos and am filled with the joy of that day, not because every detail and hair is perfectly placed, but because you can see just how much fun and love were wrapped up in it. Romulo's photography is honest and expressive. He is an artist in every sense of the word.

    Fantastic experience overall, from the first meeting to engagement photo session to recieving the final wedding photos. Engagement session was scheduled for an hour at two different locations and Romulo was able to work magic in that hour and we ended up with a great variety of amazing pictures. Wedding photos went great as well, captured everything we had requested and more including fantastic candid shots of the wedding party, friends, and family as well as the ceremony and reception locations. Romulo has a fantastic eye for event photography and fully captured our wedding, exceeding our expectations in a polite and professional manner. He's a pleasure to work with and we can't recommend him enough!

    The most important thing I wanted for my wedding was a good photographer. When I was looking through other photographer's websites after I got engaged, they all seemed mediocre until I was suggested by another Madison photographer to check out Ueda Photography. I could tell a difference right away when I saw Romulo's website. His pictures had a unique view and different way of capturing a moment. I set up a meeting with him and was impressed with his warm personality and the pieces of work he brought to the meeting. I immediately made the decision this was going to be the photographer I was going to hire.

    The day of the wedding he was everywhere we wanted him to be and more. He was capturing every moment from the big ones to the small ones. He has a unique ability to capture the whole night in his series of pictures. Multiple guests told me that they would look up and Romulo would be there snapping away.
    He checked in with me throughout the night to make sure all the pictures I wanted were taken and had a very quick turn around time to get me my sneak peak picture and all the rest. Investing in your wedding photographer is one of the most important decisions you will make on your big day. You won't regret hiring Romulo!

    Wonderful experience - we love our wedding photos and have received many compliments about them truly being a cut above the rest. Provided us precisely with the natural, photojournalistic feel we wanted, worked very discreetly (which put everyone at ease), and no part of the day lacked coverage. Received photos back promptly as well. Highly recommended.

    What can we say about Romulo that hasn’t already been said? He gave us everything we asked for and more! After my wife met Romulo during a bridal show, she could not stop talking about how beautiful his pictures albums looked. What caught her eye was his style of work. Although some pictures were of couples doing typical wedding poses (as you would expect), many of the pictures were impromptu. This was exactly what we were looking for – a photographer that captures the moment.

    What we appreciated the most was that Romulo was very professional throughout the entire wedding planning process. He constantly followed up with us to answer any questions we had, and made us feel at ease if/when we looked nervous. When we received our wedding album, both of our families were thrilled with how well the pictures came out. It was truly a masterpiece that we will treasure. Highly recommend Romulo for any and all important events. You will not be disappointed.

    Absolutely wonderful experience. My pictures came out beautifully!!!! The photographers were attentive and went above and beyond for amazing shots. All of my guests commented on how nice and polite the photographers were. I got my pictures back in only 23 days and the packaging the flash drive came in was gorgeous. I would recommend Romulo and his photographers for ANY event. He is truly an artist. I wouldn't ask for one thing to be changed when it came to the pictures. I am so thankful and grateful my amazing day was captured in such a wonderful way. Thank you again. I could never thank you enough.

    Ueda Photography provides a fantastic service and product. My wife and I hired Romulo tho shoot our wedding this year, and we were blown away by his work. He combines great composition and lighting with an artistic style and unassuming presence. We hardly knew he was there, yet the album he produced suggests he was everywhere. Not only that, Romulo is a nice, professional person to work with. I'd recommend him to anyone who wants top-notch photos for their event.

    Working with Romulo on our destination wedding was a wonderful experience! He did an exceptional job of being everywhere, yet so discreetly that it never stole from any of the moments he was photographing. The end result was incredible: the photos he took really captured the mood and liveliness of the evening and we couldn't be happier with the collection we received!

    Ueda Photography was the first wedding vendor we booked- and we are so glad we did! Romulo came highly recommended to us and he did not disappoint. He is a creative professional who captures stunning shots- whether posed or candid. We purposefully did not request many posed shots and when we saw the final photographs from our day, the candid ones were our favorites. Everyone who has seen our photographs has commented on how wonderful they turned out.

    His artistic ability is outstanding and it comes through in the details of his photography. If you are looking for a professional, easy to work with, and incredibly talented photographer, look no further than Romulo and Ueda Photography!

    We are so happy that we chose Ueda Photography to photograph our wedding. We researched many Madison-area photographers, but it was Romulo’s photojournalistic style that drew us in. We could not be more thrilled with how everything turned out. Romulo did an amazing job of capturing our personalities perfectly. He caught even the smallest moments in such a lovely and unexpected way. Our posed family photos and the candid shots he captured are equally beautiful. We have received countless compliments from wedding guests on not only the final photographs, but also on how amazing Romulo was during the ceremony and reception. He was everywhere, but never in the way.

    From a customer service standpoint, our entire experience working with Romulo was fantastic. He responded quickly to emails and phone calls. He listened to all of our ideas and was quick to offer suggestions when we were unsure about how to execute them. We ordered prints and a photo book from Romulo and were thrilled with both the quality and how quickly we received them. The photo book is absolutely gorgeous and is something we will always cherish.

    We are beyond happy that we chose to work with Romulo and Ueda Photography. We could not recommend him more highly.

    What can we say about Ueda? Romulo was an amazing photographer who produced images that we will always treasure.

    Our first meeting with Romulo was in a coffee shop where he spoke to us for about an hour to get a feeling for the sort of photography we were looking for and was extremely personable and friendly.

    On the day, Romulo was amazing at blending in and taking images that look great in colour and black and white. He was very good at communicating set up shots to the wedding party, and the bride/groom, as well as taking impromptu photos whilst the event occurred.

    At the end of the night, I had the idea for a photo in the rain and, even though it was almost the end of his shift, Romulo took us outside and set up the scene. He then disappeared into the darkness and was calling out what to do and taking photos. I am sorry for getting you wet Romulo but the photo has brought out the best exclamations of appreciation from our friends and families.

    The images were available on a gorgeous wooden pen drive and online. They were also available for web and printing with suitable size differences in the images.

    I would recommend Ueda for any event and would love to hire him again in the future. Thank you for being part of our day Romulo.

    It was fantastic to have Romulo at our wedding. He seamlessly moved about the day capturing people when they did not know they were being photographed. The staged photos were fantastic as well and everyone has complimented us on our collection. We would highly recommend Romulo and would love to work with him again.

    We chose Ueda Photography based on his photojournalistic style and ability to capture so many moments that could be missed during a big event like a wedding. He was incredibly professional, so lovely and nice to work with, personable, and definitely made everybody feel comfortable. Most of the time, our guests didn't know where he was because he was like a photographing ninja, but we got our photos back and couldn't believe some of the shots he got without our even knowing it. Romulo was respectful of our requests for formal family photos to be taken, and applied his amazing photojournalistic style throughout the rest of the day to capture wonderful moments and memories for us. I would highly recommend him for your wedding day!

    Romulo was professional, discreet, and he captured our day perfectly! We had a somewhat aggressive relative who went paparazzi and refused to put her camera away; we were afraid she would get in Romulo's way. He handled the situation gracefully and still managed to snap us astounding pictures. I would hire this man again in a heart beat!

    We worked with many quality professionals during the entire wedding process, but Romulo was far and away the best. He was very responsive and easy to work with. We took engagement photos during a blizzard and they turned out spectacularly. On our wedding day, Romulo did a fantastic job of getting beautiful photos with his ninja skills. He had such a good time as the evening went on we had to remind him that his time was already up. Of course, he didn’t mind staying a little later because he was committed to being the best throughout the entire process. When it comes to weddings or photography, I couldn’t recommend anyone else nearly as much as Romulo. Thanks, Romulo. You are amazing.
