An amazing artist with an eye for the details!

Ruben did our engagement photos and our wedding day, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. He has a truly artistic eye and knows just how to direct people to get everything looking perfect. We trusted him 100% because he’s been in the industry for a long time and know what he’s doing! He has a variety of flexible packages and we were able to make last minute changes to include a second shooter. His prices were incredibly reasonable especially for this area. He’s an amazing photographer and we’re so glad we found him!

Beautiful Pictures!

Ruben did an outstanding job for our wedding!! During our first meeting with him, he didn't try to high pressure sell us; he just let his work speak for itself, and it did. Throughout the process he was professional and reliable and responsive. On our wedding day, he not only managed our requested list of photos, he added an artistic touch and found excellent backdrops for the pictures. He also suggested some additional pictures, which ended up being some of our favorites! During the ceremony and reception he did a great job capturing the event without being intrusive. Finally, we ended up going with his package that included the photo book. We just picked it up and couldn't be more pleased! We highly recommend Ruben!!

Ruben was our photographer for our wedding on December 10, 2016. He captured amazing photos and memories of the event. I liked working with Ruben because he was very responsive, quick to answer questions via email or text. If you want to see some of our photos, check out Real Weddings on his website and then click Downtown DC. Those were just a few of the several fabulous photos he took for us!

It is my pleasure to give this endorsement to Ruben who I have worked with on many events over the years. Not only is he a true professional at the top of his game but he is also a delight to work with. He has a gentle personality and at all times recognizes that his MO and that of the other vendors should add to the overall enjoyment of the client’s special event, whether it is a wedding, corporate event or even a memorial service. Take a look at his portfolio and you will see the stunningly beautiful results from the various events that he has covered. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to any client looking for quality work and appropriate social skills – two attributes that I believe are essential for most event vendors.
