Amanda Sent on 12/13/2023Dream wedding photos
I can’t stop gushing over our photos. Roge and Fernando are so talented. We wanted an editorial style that felt very Brooklyn with a lot of candids. Not forced, overly posed moments but capturing the day as it naturally happened (i.e. interacting at cocktail hour with guests vs more photos) This is what they do best. They didn’t miss a moment. Plus, they’re so fun and sweet and just fit in perfectly with our guests and the vibe we were going for (one big party). I can’t imagine anyone else photographing our day. -

Roge & Fernando are not only insanely talented, but they are professional, organized and overall incredibly KIND humans. It was clear from the beginning they understood the gravity of our day and were able to beautifully capture the entire vibe. You can really feel the emotions and re-live the day through our photos. On the day of the wedding, they were organized & kept everything running smoothly. They were somehow everywhere all at once, but seamlessly blended in. We got so many compliments about how great our photographers were by our guests before anyone saw a single photo. In addition to their AMAZING work-they returned a 50-shot preview before noon the next day and turned around our entire wedding album of over 1800, edited photos in ~3 weeks. Every single shot is a work of art. I would recommend them 10X over. Best choice of our wedding BY FAR. -

Roge and Fernando listened to everything we were looking for. They balanced taking amazing portraits with our families and getting us back to the party! They knew which moments we wanted to capture and were sure to prioritize those. From other people's photos, if we look carefully we can spot them in the background, maneuvering around us to get great shots. Often we had no idea they were even there! The photos we received from them the day after our wedding were such a treat. We couldn't imagine working with anyone else! -

Roge and Fernando are amazing people, brilliant artists, and incredible professional and personable. Warm Up Lab Weddings was listed as the top preferred vendor for our venue, MyMoon, in Williamsburg. From their website, my (now) husband and I knew we wanted their aesthetic and style for our photos. Right away, Roge followed up with our outreach, we had a delightful conversation, and immediately felt comfortable; we were relieved to hear they knew our venue immediately and knew how to photograph in the space. We took advantage of the additional engagement photo session package as well. This actually served us as a, pun intended, warm up session to familiarize ourselves with Fernando. He is approachable, warm, and intelligent, and had a way to help both of us get comfortable and relax. On our wedding day, their team was on time, relaxed, humorous, and creative. They were also open to our ideas and suggestions. They also worked seamlessly with our wedding coordinator. A bonus, they also worked really well with our nutty family members. When we received our Preview the following day, we (well I) cried. They were exactly what we wanted. Exactly. So pleased! Highly recommend, and WILL recommend them to our connections in the future. -

Shaun E. Sent on 10/04/2022Unbelievable Artists with Heart and Passion
Words cannot describe how incredible Roge and Fernando are. Not just in their art, but in who they are as people! In our first call with Roge, she made us cry when she detailed how special this day should be – every other vendor we spoke with focused on money and needs, but Roge made our wedding day feel important before she even knew us.
Then, we met Roge and Fernando for coffee to talk through the look of our Studio 54-inspired wedding, and from that moment they were IN! They pitched looks, lighting, mood, inspiration - they were there to make our vision come to LIFE!
We worked with them first for an engagement photo package on Coney Island, and I can’t suggest doing this enough! There, we were able to work with them in an intimate setting, which made us feel at ease when it came to the wedding day. And the photos - just WOW! They captured pure joy that day! Nothing was forced, everything was free-spirited, fun, and they captured who we were as a couple.
Onto the big day: with a disco wedding, our guests boogied DOWN, and Roge and Fernamdo were right there with everyone. They were up on risers, down on the floor, in the mix, whatever they needed to do to get the perfect shot they DID! The photos we have are UNREAL and they captured the energy of the night! It’s like I can hear the photographs - the exact song that was playing.
Please look no further and book with Warm Up Labs - you will feel the love in all of your photos!

Roge and Fernando are both true artists who chase after the craft and not the trends. They made us feel so comfortable during our engagement shoot and wedding day. They were able to capture all of our and guests emotions - when I look at the photos I know exactly what what happening/song was playing. We had rain in our forecast and Roge had a plan for every scenario and really focused on making the day special for us. They even proactively scouted out all the places around our venue for photo ops. And the speed that we received our photos! Photography was super important to us and warmup labs delivered. -

Roge and Fernando are extremely skilled, professional, organized, and most importantly, considerate and compassionate photographers. They were extremely communicative throughout the months and days leading up to our wedding day and perfectly executed the day-of. We are so happy with our photographs as they captured the essence of the day through a raw and unique, yet elegant lens. -

Can't recommend enough!!
Roge and Fernando were so wonderful to work with, from our initial consultation to working with photographer Fernando on our wedding day, their approach was both professional and personal. Our priority was to hire a photographer that could artistically capture the candid moments from our wedding celebration as well as direct some portraits of us and our family. Fernando was exceptional – he provided just the right amount of direction to make us feel comfortable and confident during our couple and family portraits, then during the ceremony and reception, he operated without being intrusive and somehow perfectly captured the overall vibe of the day; the happiness, my wife and I, our closest loved ones, and our venue. It was so thrilling to relive our wedding day after receiving our photo gallery, these are treasured memories that we will cherish for a lifetime. Finally, our preview came the day after our wedding, and the rest of the gallery followed very shortly after, we couldn’t believe it! We’re so grateful to Warm Up Labs, couldn’t recommend enough! -

Leigh S. Sent on 10/13/2021The best in nyc.
Wow. From start to finish, Roge and Fernando surpassed every expectation we had for our wedding photographers. We worked with them for our engagement photos, our wedding ceremony in 2020, and finally our wedding reception in August of 2021. Each day we worked with Roge and Fernando, it was like having sunshine beaming over us. They made us feel warm and comfortable, and caught deeply intimate moments that we will hold dear to us forever. They are true artists, but have an ability to perform their art in such a personal and touching way. They never forget that they are capturing people, not objects, and our photos came out even more beautiful than we ever imagined they would be.
I would hire WarmUp Labs over and over again, and without hesitation recommend Fernando and Roge to anyone. My husband and I feel truly fortunate that we were able to book them for not just one, but two of our most special days. -

The most incredible photographers you'll ever work with!!!
If you're scrolling through reviews, trying to figure out THE BEST photographers for your wedding (or really any special event) you can STOP because you simply cannot do better than Roge and Fernando! My husband and I are worked with them for our wedding in Brooklyn, New York this summer and just wow... they were absolutely incredible. Aside from being insanely supportive, flexible, and accommodating even after we had to push our wedding because of covid, they took the time and care to meet with us multiple times ahead of our wedding day to scout out details around our venue. On the day of our wedding, they were even more gracious and incredible than we could have ever imagined. They kept my husband and I the focus of their world on our wedding day and even kept US relaxed when the weather started to turn a bit. The day was so hectic, but no matter what we could turn to them to steady us. They were truly our rocks throughout our wedding process and delivered impeccable and unforgettable photos and memories of our perfect day. We simply cannot recommend Roge and Fernando enough and can't imagine any photographer(s) outperforming them, in photography or day-of vendor demeanor. We are so grateful for their friendship and help throughout our entire process and we're still OBSESSED with our wedding photos, many many months later. Hard stop, no better photographers out there. -

What can we say about Roge and Fernando? They are the absolute best! They went above and beyond for my wife and I. The pictures came out beautiful and they made everything completely effortless on the day of our wedding (and before) so we could soak up every minute of our special day. Highly, highly recommended! -

Joanna M. Sent on 09/20/2020Memorable, fun and super special - perfect pair
When it came time to choose a photographer, I knew I did not want anyone that was too much in your face, and someone who truly captured genuine small moments and expressions throughout. I remembered seeing a duo hubby and wife photographer at my friend's wedding who was so friendly towards the guests and ended up capturing some amazing photos of my now fiance and I on the dance floor. My friend had nothing but wonderful things to say. When I called Roge, I instantly knew we wanted to work with her for our wedding. She was kind, calming and made us feel excited about our wedding instantly. To top it off, Roge and Fernando traveled to Scituate, Mass for our engagement shoot - a place very special to us for a very great price. We even had to reschedule once due to a sprained foot I had, and they were so easy to work with. Although super nervous about doing an engagement shoot and not knowing what to even expect, Roge calmed us down a few days before over the phone. When we met the couple in person, they were filled with warmth and just good vibes overall. Fernando took our photos while Roge directed and also entertained my future father in law who was around to help watch our dog during the shoot. Fernando and Roge allowed us to let all nerves go away and have such a fun day - during a very insane year. Fernando has a way of making you feel super special yet totally relaxed during a shoot. He pretty much said thank you anytime we followed his direction, which I thought was insanely sweet as we should we thanking them. Also, given the current state of the world, they wore masks and took proper cautions for a very socially distant activity and we truly had the best day with them. I thought maybe we'd be tired of taking photos after an hour, and I instead wanted it to last all day - they were very flexible and allowed us to go to all 4 of our favorite places in town - including the beach! When we got our photos back - I cried. Fernando captured such beautiful angles and intimate moments I forgot even happened during our 3-hour day together. We were truly sad to see them hit the road and can not wait for them to capture our wedding day. They are an incredibly talented duo who give you photos you will always want to look back on. -

Rachel R. Sent on 12/17/2019Beyond our Wildest Dreams, Perfectly Candid
It is hard to even express how incredible it was to work with Roge and Fernando, and our wedding pictures are beyond our wildest dreams. We are not comfortable in front of the camera, and were dreading the photo part of the wedding, and anxious about capturing images where we look our best. Roge and Fernando made us feel so calm, from the progression of the day, to getting our candid moments like first look, and making sure to get all the posed groups we needed to. We really appreciated meeting ahead of time to discuss the game plan, and it made us lead into our wedding day not anxious at all about making sure everything would be captured or when. They organized the time before hand so that we have so many great shots of getting ready, just us, our wedding party, and family, in addition to the ones at the actual event. It was an incredibly special treat to receive around 70 edited photos the morning after our wedding. Even just in that selection our whole day was captured and the joy and magic of it all. Roge and Fernando captured so many amazing candid shots that are so us, so natural, and so full of happiness and love. Going through the entire collection makes us relive each special moment. The images captured how comfortable we were with them. They were so professional and truly artists, the images show us and our wedding day in a gorgeous and artful way. We could not recommend Warm Up Labs more! -

Ashley B. Sent on 10/14/2019Great Documentary-style Wedding Photographers!
Roge and Fernando photographed our May 2019 wedding and were extremely buttoned up from our initial conversations to receiving the final photos. We chose them for their documentary-style images and they didn't disappoint. They did such a wonderful job keeping us organized leading up to the wedding and delivered the photos much more quickly than we anticipated - we had them all by the time we returned from our honeymoon a few weeks later! Would highly recommend Roge and Fernando! -

From our first meeting to the weeks following our wedding, Roge and Fernando were fantastic! They are so easy to work with, so genuine to be in the company of, and so skilled at everything they do. We had an engagement shoot that really helped us get comfortable in front of a camera and the day of the wedding could not have gone any better! They are two of the nicest and easiest people to work with and I am in love with their photos!! Their style is just what I wanted, artistic, alternative & so timeless. They really captured the day beautifully. I am still impressed with how quickly they turn around edited photos & how many they send! Great job you guys, we will forever have our memories captured with your beautiful work. -

Angelica Sent on 12/30/2019Beautiful Photos
Roge and Fernando provided excellent wedding photos for us. The day after the wedding we received about 75 highlight photos and a few weeks after that we had our whole lot. All the photos were excellent. We love their style and professionalism. They took great candid shots we didn't even know they were there. For the first-look and scheduled photos they kept us on pace and made sure all our family members were involved. One thing we really appreciated is that although we had not scheduled on going around to all the tables, when it happened Fernando noticed and was there with no problem, making sure we would have those memories of seeing everyone. Roge and Fernando love textures and as we were walking, they would be on the lookout for textures to take pictures in front of. When we saw the result it was well worth it. They have a great eye for textures, contrast, color, and composition. Every shot is a work of art. Thank you Roge and Fernando! -

The most beautiful way to remember our wedding
One of the best decisions we made for our wedding was hiring Roge & Fernando as our photographers. These two have helped us remember our wedding day forever in the most beautiful way. Their talent and skill is evident in every photo and Fernando's use of light is just one of the many, many reasons we were drawn to them. Their attention to detail is impeccable and they were so, so thorough in their documentation of our wedding. We asked for a lot of shots of the party and guests (rather than mostly just us) and they managed to capture the sweetest moments that might've passed us by in the commotion of the day. Of course I cried when they delivered our massive album because it was everything we ever hoped for in our wedding photos. We didn't have a videographer and after seeing these shots we definitely don't regret it. Their style and skill managed to capture the emotion and energy of the day in every photo. We have already recommended Roge & Fernando to several couples, and will continue to recommend them any chance we get. We truly adore you two and know every other couple you work with will, too!!! -

The BEST Wedding Photographer(s) in NYC!
Our experience with Warm Up Lab Weddings was nothing short of AMAZING! In all seriousness, we were overwhelmed with how beautifully and artistically Warm Up Lab captured and documented our wedding day. The perspective and light of each photo is simply phenomenal and awe-inspiring. It is truly a joy to review the photos and remember the day in such detail and beauty. Fernando was so wonderfully skilled at capturing the important and interesting moments - not just the big ones but the often overlooked little ones. Roge was nothing but lovely and helpful to work with and offered guidance throughout the process that was indelible and meaningful. THANK YOU!
Choosing Warm Up Lab as our wedding photographer(s) was, without a doubt, the best wedding decision we made. From the very bottom of both of our hearts, thank you thank you thank you! -

Photographers that capture those special moments
Photography was one of the most important decisions to us in wedding planning. Understanding that photos are lasting memories of a day that goes by in a flash, we wanted to be sure we picked the right photographers. Roge and Fernando were everything we could ask for in a photography duo. They are incredibly collaborative and put great emphasis on getting to know the couple-to-be. On the day-of, they were prompt, and a calming force during a whirlwind of a day. For a bride that does not enjoy her pictures taken, they made me feel comfortable, which was evident in the beautiful final product. Not only did we receive a sneak peak the following day, we had a full album just 6-8 weeks later. We could not be more pleased with our choice and highly recommend to anyone looking for photographers that capture those special and authentic moments. -
