    Best decision you'll make for your wedding!

    Javier is a true artist- he takes the task of wedding photographer very seriously but also managed to make me laugh and enjoy the whole process.
    From our very first meeting to the last photo snapped at the wedding, Javier made me feel comfortable, beautiful and at ease, knowing we had put the most important job at our wedding into expert hands.
    Javier was professional, open, flexible and kind throughout and helped me and my partner feel at ease and happy. He had wonderful ideas for locations and poses and, most importantly for me, blended into the wedding, never distracting or detracting from the magical feel of the moment. Do yourself a favor and hire Javier for your wedding- he is a true master of his craft and a joy to work with!

    Great quality and professionalism!

    Javier was a pleasure to work with for our destination wedding! He was creative and thoughtful with his photos, and we received exceptional quality photos in a timely manner. We have received so many requests for copies of his photos from our wedding guests after seeing how they came out!

    The best experience!

    Javier is a pleasure to work with. He made planning so much easier!
    We can't thank him enough for capturing our big day! He made us feel so comfortable during each picture. The family couldn't stop talking about how professional he was! I wanted to take photos at a few spots around the venue, and Javier made it happen!! (At the time I asked) some of the lighting wasn't the best, so he made sure to bring us back to the spots we liked once the lighting was better! During our reception, we took a number of family and friend photos, and he was always prepared to capture everything! I was blown away when he showed me some of the photos he took! We can't wait to see the full gallery!

    Excellence at it's best!

    The moment we contacted Javier, we knew we had made the right choice! Prior to even arriving at our venue, his diligence in contact, guidance, and direction was comforting! We, our family and guests will always cherish Javier's ability to capture raw love and emotion.

    Prompt, relatable and professional photographer!

    Javier was a pleasure to work with. Despite looking at several photographers, his photos are truly the perfect artistic blend and are exactly what we were looking for. Our own wedding photos could not have been more perfect. These are the moments we will cherish for the rest of our lives. The day after our wedding, we did the trash the dress activity. It was a lot of fun and the pictures were amazing. On the evening of our wedding, he took so many amazing photos that we didn't even notice that he was there.

    Fantastic experience and beautiful photos!

    Although I know I wanted a simple elopement, I also knew the photography was one of the more important elements for us. He was so laid back and easy to work with. Our wedding day photography was more than I could have asked for!

    Kind and professional

    It was a pleasure to work with Javier. He was on time, very professional, and got everyone to laugh so we got some great pictures! He was excellent at directing people to stand in the right spots so that the photos were even and perfect. He made sure the lighting was also perfect. The majority of my friends receive their wedding photos in 8-12 weeks. Mine arrived in 4 weeks! Thanks for making our day memorable.

    Most incredible photographer

    Where do I begin? Javier is AMAZING! The pictures we received FAR SURPASSED our expectations. Words can never describe how INCREDIBLE and DREAMY our pictures came out. The angles, the coloring, the natural poses. The pictures are natural, candid, and captured who we are completely!

    The Best Choice we could make

    Our wedding took place on Guanacaste, Costa Rica last month. Javier was recommended to us by a friend, and we are very pleased with the way he captured our wedding day. Besides being friendly and warm, he is a great professional who is passionate about what he does!
    Thank you very much, Javier!

    Perfectly captured our day

    Javier was great to work with! The meeting with him was very flexible and he provided us with all the information we needed. He was very helpful throughout the planning process. Our family is quite large, so having all the family portraits taken on the wedding day can be quite stressful, but he was amazingly calm and patient with everyone. Several of our family members and friends even commented on it to me. We could not be happier with the final product! Our photos are beautiful and full of emotion and excitement. He perfectly captured our memories from our wedding day.

    Beyond my expectations!!!

    Unreal talent and truly cares about your vision! Javier went above and beyond finding places to shoot! We had to postpone during the pandemic and we couldn’t be more grateful that Javier is who we went through the hurdles with! He even texted me just to check on me! More than just a photographer! Javier was so amazing! We can’t say enough great things! Thank you Javi!

    Absolutely Incredible!

    As soon as we spoke with Javier, we knew he would be the photographer for our destination wedding. He was responsive, dedicated, and genuinely cared about our event. After that, we had nothing but amazing experiences with him - from the moment we met him, we let his artistic side flow and we're so glad we did.

    Lovely work and personality

    Javier was a great choice as our wedding photographer. We loved his editing style but our photos were far more beautiful that we had ever imagined. As a person, Will was so enjoyable to work with, kind and very personable. It felt like spending the day with an old friend. Professionally and personally, Javier was the perfect addition to our wedding day!
