Pablo and his team were incredible! We were so comfortable and had such a great time taking the photos. He was even able to entertain our toddler so we could capture photos of just mom & dad.

We more than got our money's worth and now have photos we're obsessed with to treasure from our first international family trip.

Alma is a brilliant photographer and truly made our time in Puerto Vallarta memorable…read more We scheduled a family photo shoot while on vacation. Bad weather forced us to reschedule and Alma worked with us to ensure we got it done before the vacation was over. We planned for sunset shots and once the sun set, I was worried that the images wouldn't be good, but she reassured us. With 3 kids under 5, She managed to get all 3 kids to cooperate and the end results were simply stunning! Family photos to cherish for a lifetime!

Carlos met us at Xel-Ha and was very patient with our family of 16. He went well over the agreed time and did it with a smile.

I highly recommend Carlos and Pixtore for any photo shoots, they are AWESOME!!!

You could also tell that he spent time editing the photos and did so within just a couple of days. This was a great way for a busy family to get our family photos (that we would love to do every year, but don't come close to getting that done) in a unique setting. Nothing felt rushed with Alejandro and he really worked to get lots of great poses. The whole family highly recommends!

I 100% recommend Diego and his team. I picked Chas Studios after a lot of online research for a…read morephoto shoot where I did a surprise proposal for my GF (now Fiancé) in Puerto Vallarta. She knew about the photo shoot but did not know I would propose during it. Diego and I had agreed to a signal to each other so we would both know the best time for me to pop the question and he captured the exact moment beautifully. He even captured 2 whales in the ocean behind us right after she said Yes. We absolutely love the photos!! We had done a photo shoot before and that prior one did not feel natural and the pics were not very good. Diego made us very comfortable and he was able to gently suggest several scenes for us (not poses) that turned out great in the pics. All the advance planning was done via email - I did not meet Diego until it was time for the photo shoot at the Puerto Vallarta Marriott. During the planning phase, the Chas Studio team was very responsive and prompt with my several questions. They also provided some great recommendations for PV restaurants that I made advance reservations for so we could celebrate in Zona Romantica during our trip. I wanted a surprise bottle of Champaign and 2 glasses - Diego offered to pick that up himself but I had the hotel pack it in a bag that Diego covertly picked up before he met us so that my GF would be surprised with it after I proposed. He carried that bag around with all his equipment for the first half of the session without complaining. It was a great experience working with Diego and his team and I am very happy that we chose Chas Studios.

I HIGHLY recommend Evgenia for your capturing your special moments!!! We absolutely loved working…read morewith Evgenia and Alina (and so did my mom), and we're in love with the photos!!! As a wedding photographer myself who has photographed many weddings, and looked through countless photographers for my friends weddings, stop looking, you need Evgenia!! The things I look for in a photographer are - Do you feel something from the photos? Can you feel the love, the joy, the joke your uncle cracked about having 10 kids? - Are the colors timeless? When you look at your wedding photos 10 years from now will you still love how they look? This is personal preference, but in my opinion Evgenia nails the colors and tones in her photos, especially the skin tones (If you're Asian, sometimes the skin tone comes out orange if a photographer doesn't know to correct for it) And after working with Evgenia I have so many things to rave about! - Her attention to detail- she'll spot that sunlight is hitting one person's face in a group photo and correct for it - She's on your side!! When you're roasting under the sun, and family members from both sides are asking to take photos with you and your "kitty timer" of tolerance for more photos goes off, Evgenia can recognize it and redirect the madness away - She's a pro dress fluff-er to make the train drape perfectly - She's there to tell your story through photos, document the candid, but also gives great instructions and posing cues - So very helpful. I had a day of request of taking instax film photos throughout the day/ceremony and Evgenia and Alina went- no problem, and knocked it out of the park - She has great vibes. I spent 10 hours over 2 days with her, and you just feel like you're in excellent hands. - The turn around time for the photos are crazy fast. Coming from Austin, TX where the standard delivery of a gallery is 4-6 months, being able to have the full gallery of almost 1000 photos within weeks, and being able to print off thank you cards with a photo, so amazing.

Puerto Vallarta was my wife's and my first international trip and everyone told us we needed to do…read morea taco tour. We balked at this because so many are tourist traps operated by non-Mexican large companies, but then we found Vallarta Local and decided to give them a try as they are locally owned. I'm so glad we did. We did the Breakfast Tacos tour and it was one of the most memorable tours we've ever done. AnnaLo was a fantastic guide and educated us not only about the city itself, but the history of different tacos and local cuisine. We visited six taco stands owned by local families, all of which have perfected their own meats and styles. Every taco was better than the last. And the sauces! My gosh, the varied and delicious sauces that each stand offered were unlike anything I've ever had before. It's hard to find sauces like this in America because everything is either not fresh or watered down, and I will never forget the nuances of flavors that every sauce added to every unique taco. Afterwards, we visited a fresh fruit popsicle shop and the place where most local tortillas are made. We both got a freshly made tortilla and a bit of salt and rolled it up to enjoy like a snack while AnnaLo told us about the importance of tortillas and how eating tortillas as a snack reminds most Mexicans of their childhood, picking up tortillas on their way home from school. It was truly a journey and we both left full. By the end, AnnaLo felt less like a tour guide and more like a friend that we've known for a while. Getting to know her was a highlight of the trip in itself. We hope to return to Puerto Vallarta soon, and when we do, we will absolutely be booking another tour.

This company scammed us. We booked a family photo shoot in Nuevo Vallarta. They took a 50% deposit…read more For the shoot, they told us to meet them on the beach, a ten minute walk from our hotel. Went through the hassle of getting all dressed up for the photos and walking our three small kids to the meeting point in extremely hot weather. Long story short, their photographer never showed up. We sent messages and emails asking for their status and finally, after about an hour, their photographer responded without apologizing, offering to meet up a different day. We told them we wanted my $ back. They ignored us. We kept following up for a refund and they eventually responded that if we wanted a refund, we would need to send them our bank account routing and account number. These guys are scammers. Avoid at all costs.
