Shaun 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 an amazing pair who captured my partner and I in a beautiful way. We did a photo shoot for our engagement. Went to DUMBO and the Brooklyn Botanic Gardens. They fun, talented and a pair that you must work with!!!! I wouldn't look any further. You'll get gorgeous images because of their great eye. I felt really lucky to have found them! You will be 100% glad you chose them. I promise. -

My wife and I can not recommend Warm Up Labs more highly. Fernando and Roge are both exceptionally talented, as well as exceptional humans to boot. We fell in love with their beautiful style that combines fine artistry with photojournalism the moment we found their portfolio. It was the perfect combination of qualities that my wife and I both hoped to find with our photographers. Some months after initially contracting them, they offered to come out to our neighborhood and meet for drinks and lunch. We had a great time getting to know them over a few hours, and the fact that we were able to have that time went such a long way in making our wedding day as perfect as it was. Both Roge and Fernando played integral parts in setting my wife and I at ease from the moment the day began, with the fact that we already knew them playing a huge role in that. My wife gets tense and awkward in front of cameras and she almost entirely forgot about being photographed the whole day because of the connection we already had built with Fernando and Roge. They were flexible, attentive, and present at every step along the way. It even began with a flurry of back and forth emails in the week leading up to the wedding as our timeline became finalized and we worked to find the perfect spot in Prospect Park for our private and intimate first look. On the day, they continued to be all those things - from the getting ready photos with each of us in the morning, to the first look, to wrangling our family members through group photos all the way through to the end of the reception (which they were not expected to see though but went out of their way to do so anyway). The photos they took are breathtaking and encapsulate our day so perfectly, exactly as we knew they would - they're everything we could have hoped for and more, and we couldn't be more thankful to have them as treasured memories for the rest of our lives. If you're looking for the perfect wedding photographers, look no further. Fernando and Roge will help make your day and your memories more beautiful than you can imagine and my wife would go so far as to say that hiring anyone else would be a mistake. -

Deirdre Sent on 10/30/2024You can't go wrong!
We worked with WarmUpLab Studio for our wedding at MyMoon in May. From the start, we clicked with them and they made the whole experience which can be at times stressful a total breeze. We appreciated their genuineness and authentic. You could also tell you were working with a couple in love which was an added bonus! Not to mention...our photos were incredible! We were so happy with all of our shots. You can't go wrong with WarmUpLab. -

Molly Sent on 10/28/2024Roge and Fernando are the absolute best!!!!
We were absolutely in love with all of our wedding photos—they exceeded our highest expectations! Roge and Fernando are INCREDIBLY talented, and their creativity is truly unmatched. They made us feel so comfortable and at ease, allowing us to enjoy every moment of our special day. They captured not just the key moments but also the little details that made our wedding unique. Their warm personalities made the experience even more enjoyable! We can't recommend them highly enough to any couple looking for exceptional photographers for their wedding day!

Jessica Sent on 10/27/2024More than the Incredible Photography
We fell in love with Fernando and Roge's photography - their style, their eye, the way they see and capture light... then we fell in love with them too! Roge and Fernando were an absolute pleasure to work with and we feel so blessed to have had them with us throughout our wedding day. We just received our wedding photos and love each and every one. -

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. -

Lauren Sent on 10/20/202310/10-the best!!
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. -

Terrill Sent on 04/24/2023Captured our day perfectly
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! -

Eric Sent on 12/14/2022Could not be happier, these pictures are perfect!
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. -

Tina Sent on 12/08/2022True artists!
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. -

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! -

Katherine Sent on 11/21/2022Incredible photographers with unmatched skills
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. -

![Leigh]()
Leigh 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. -

Joanna 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. -

Jessica Sent on 01/24/2020Perfect! In Every Way
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! -

Rachel 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 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! -

Elizabeth Sent on 09/23/2019The Best Decision We Made For Our Wedding!
Asking WarmUp Lab to shoot our wedding was the best thing we could have ever done. Not only were they incredible at communicating with us before the event, but they took better pictures than I could have ever imagined. I am uncomfortable taking pictures and Roge and Fernando made me feel so comfortable! We got over 1500 pictures back from them in our digital album and they even got our sneak peek photos back to us THE NEXT DAY!
There is really no other option when it comes to picking a NYC wedding photographer. -

Jason Sent on 09/23/2019Great team to work with!
We really loved working with Roge and Fernando from our first meeting over a couple of drinks, all the way through the wedding and beyond to when we got to see the final product! I'd highly recommend Roge and Fernando to any couple looking to book photographers for their wedding. Couldn't be happier! -

Jackie Sent on 08/13/2019Best wedding photographers!
Look no further for wedding photographers!! Roge and Fernando photographed our wedding at FEAST at Round Hill on 6/16/19 in Washingtonville, NY. They are SO talented and incredibly easy and fun to work with! I remember meeting with them initially and they described their guarantee to provide a "sneak peek" of photos the day after your wedding and I can't begin to explain how awesome it was to actually see quality images the very next day and already begin reliving how much fun our wedding was. I also really appreciated how once all of the formal photos and ceremony were over they stuck by us and made sure that if we were talking to a guest and wanted a posed picture they were right there to capture it. At the same time, they were also taking candid, in-the-moment images. They both have an eye for capturing special moments and exploring unique angles and set-ups for both formal and informal photos. On top of all of that, they were extremely responsive and organized and reached out to us leading up to the event to ensure they answered any lingering questions or requests that we may have. We will forever treasure our wedding memories and are so lucky to have the beautifully artistic images from Roge and Fernando. xoxo! -

User4502807 Sent on 06/12/2019The PERFECT photographers
Roge and Fernando were one of our first hires when it came to wedding planning. We knew right away their style was what we were looking for. They're not the cookie-cutter style photographers - they have an artistic eye and a moody, romantic style that stands out. They were incredibly responsive through emails and just super lovable people! They got beautiful shots throughout the entire night and delivered the photos SO quickly.
We would love to hire them again for a vow renewal haha! -

Christopher Sent on 06/03/2019Stop Looking, Book Warm Up Lab!
If you are reading this you are probably browsing and searching through the endless amount of photographers listed on Wedding Wire. My husband & I set up numerous calls, reviewed portfolios but nothing compared to the passion, dedication and creativity that Warmup Lab put into our special day. Wedding planning is stressful…decision after decision. The best decision we made was hiring Warmup Lab, Fernando & Roge were incredible throughout the whole process and I couldn’t believe how many people noticed their dedication and coverage throughout the entire night. It was great to relive the nights moments the next day when they send a preview link. I can go on and on about these two…save yourself time and frustration, BOOK WARMUP LAB FOR YOUR WEDDING! You won’t regret it.
