I am so glad I hired Adam for my surprise proposal to my girlfriend. Living in SoCal and having…read morenever been to Monterey/Big Sur, I planned my whole proposal based on google searches, reddit threads, and word of mouth. Being a Big Sur/Monterey local, Adam provided extremely helpful insight and feedback for my proposal. He definitely helped relieve a lot of the stress during the planning phase of my proposal. On the day of the actual shoot, the day-of jitters was overwhelming at times, but Adam's energy and demeanor was very centering. He was patient and gave my new fiancee and I space to calm ourselves, and also knew when to take charge and guide us with our poses. He also had amazing and creative ideas for how to pose and brought us to local, reclusive spots to take intimate photos. Best of all, Adam always had a smile on his face and he made us really think like we were supermodels walking the runway haha. If you're going to do any photoshoot, especially a proposal or engagement shoot, in the Big Sur/Monterey area, I would highly recommend getting Adam!!

We were a large group of 20 people and of varying ages. Ed and Nancy were patient and had fabulous ideas on how to pose and look natural. They also suggest a great spot to take the pictures. Warm and friendly and super responsive all the way from setting up the appointment to showing up on time and delivering the pictures way before the date we were expecting them.

They gave us samples of a variety of colors which would suit the scenery and this was so helpful. They were very quick in responding/communication before during and after the session and we felt that they not only considered our ideas about the session but truly understood us as a family. We are so so happy with their work and highly recommend them. Their professionalism is clear in everything they do. We are grateful for the experience and the memories to last a lifetime! Hope to have more sessions with them again in the future!

I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Cat! My husband and I met Cat during our amazing…read moreengagement shoot. During this experience, we were able to capitalize on the natural fall beauty in Burlington, Vermont and Cat captured every sweet moment we had together. My husband and I were not used to being photographed but her sweet demeanor and fantastic ideas made it an unforgettable experience. I used several of the shots from our engagement shoot for our save the dates and put them on our wedding website. Cat was able to get the photos to us really quickly and we were floored by how beautiful they were and loved the variety of shots we had to choose from. I even framed several of the engagement photos and used them to decorate our barn at during our wedding reception. When it came time to our wedding, Cat made our experience even better than I could have imagined! I knew my wedding day pictures would be amazing, but what absolutely surprised me were the special moments Cat captured. From the loving way my husband and I looked at each other at our first look to my dad dipping me on the dance floor, Cat captured all of the moments that made our wedding unforgettable! Cat not only documented these incredible moments, but she also used her artistic eye to photograph every inch of our beautiful barn wedding. She documented each of our meticulously planned wedding areas which meant the world to me, especially because some of the details were gone before I even saw them, such as our delicious donut wall that was eaten up immediately! Words cannot express my gratitude for Cat and her incredible eye. The photos she took will be hanging on the walls of our home forever!

My experience with Ronnie Esparza Photography was downright unacceptable. During my daughter's team…read morevolleyball photoshoot, she had an individual picture taken while still wearing her sunglasses. My wife immediately noticed and politely asked Ronnie to take a quick retake once she removed them. Before my daughter could remove them, he snapped another shot and flat-out refused to take another one--claiming he only took two shots per kid. The issue? My wife personally watched him retake photos for several other girls moments later. That kind of inconsistency is unfair and unprofessional. If he's going to enforce rules, they should apply to everyone, not selectively! While he did issue a refund, that does nothing to make up for my daughter missing out on a proper photo to remember her season. Sports photos are supposed to be meaningful keepsakes, but his dismissive attitude made the entire experience feel rushed and impersonal. It would have taken him seconds to retake the picture and show even the slightest care for his work or his clients but he didn't. Ronnie Esparza Photography clearly lacks basic customer service skills and fairness. I won't be using his services in the future, and I strongly advise others to look elsewhere if you value professionalism and respect.
