We were fortunate enough to have Carl Bringas do our wedding photos in July. He was so amazing we could not have asked for more. He kept a very great line of communication available-even before we booked his services. He always replied promptly and was happy to answer any questions via email-text-phone. The days leading up to the wedding he was so supportive and understanding. He gave his clear and concise opinions of timelines and opportunities. He was never pushy or demanding. He held my wife and I ideas and opinion with great respect and value. The day of the wedding he arrived early and gave great direction to all parties involved. Even though the day flew by in the blink of an eye we are so grateful to have the proof of magic in his photos. He was very professional and relatable all at the same time. Which made spending most of our wedding day with him a delight. It's hard to find people out there that can relate to you and find comfortability with complete strangers but Carl was able to blend in and become part of our family on our wedding day. That in itself is priceless. read more

It was an absolute joy working with Carl for my daughter's graduation photo shoot. We did the shoot at my home and his photos are amazing. He was on time and patient since we weren't quite ready. He made really good suggestions for my daughter and we are super happy. Can't wait to use him again! He tells some really good DAD jokes!! read more

I met Carl through the venue we had intended to use in San Diego. After we found out my mom had cancer we moved our wedding to Idaho to be closer to her. Carl was on board from day one! When we were only two weeks away from our big day, we found out the Owner of our SD venue was trying to take advantage of us. Carl again, stood by us. No Hesitation! From the moment we first spoke I knew I could trust him. And man, He didn't disappoint. In fact, Carl Bringas was one of the best parts of our day! He captured so many amazing memories for my family and made sure to highlight all the special moments with my Mom. He was kind, flexible and so much fun! We haven't seen our final photos yet but I know they will be amazing! If you're looking for a highly experienced and talented photographer that will bring joy and beauty to your day, then look no further. Carl Bringas is THE guy! read more

Carl is AMAZING! He has to be one of the best photographers in LA! Not only did he take amazing shots of me, but he made the entire experience easy and fun! I have shot with him two times already and he has always made me feel extremely comfortable in front of the camera. He is very relaxed and funny and engages in conversation with you during the shoot, but at the same time he is very focused and aware of all of the little details. Like the precise lighting conditions, makeup condition, a hair out of place etc. He seems to take great pride in what he does. If you want amazing pictures, Carl is the guy! read more

I couldn't be happier with our choice to make Carl Bringas our wedding ppotographer. Through the whole process Carl was a big help with his years of experience.

It is amazing if you have someone with such a great personality taking your wedding pictures because it helps you enjoy the day and not worry about anything. When we got our pictures we were thrilled. They look so amazing and everybody loves them. People constantly ask who took our pictures and then want his contact information.

One person that will always stick to me on my wedding day will be Carl. His patience, his kindness & most of all talent. From our first conversation over the phone up until my big day, Carl put my mind to ease. He was so patient with photographing the kids and every once in a while he would stop by my chair as I got ready to see how I was feeling and reassured me that everything will be fine. Everyone in the bridal party was busy getting ready and kids running around, I just needed that, someone to tell me to relax and take a deep breath. He could have just been set with the photography fee and snapped away. The fact that he went above and beyond his job to make sure my wedding day went smoothly really stood out to me. My images are clear, beautiful and the turn around time was fast! My family & friends even noticed how caring and awesome Carl was, asking me if they could all get his information down for future events. Also I highly recommend you have him edit the photos as well as the album. My husband and I are very happy. I can keep going, but please take it from me, YOU WILL BE GLAD YOU CHOSE CARL AS YOUR WEDDING DAY PHOTOGRAPHER!!!!!!! Carl if you are reading this, thank you, thank you, thank you. I will forever be grateful for your hard work, care & great images captured on our special day. read more

It was such a pleasure to work with Carl for our wedding in San Diego. He put everyone at ease and was able to get so many wonderful candid shots along with the posed.

Carl is an amazing photographer! Not only did he take amazing modeling photos for me but made sure I was comfortable. You can tell he has a lot of experience because he knows how to keep a comfortable energy the entire shoot, which not a lot of people are able to do. Not only that but he is also a very fun guy to work with who will produce great quality photos you want to cherish forever! Thank you Carl, you're the best :) read more

Carl did an amazing job for my wedding! We found him through our venue, the Temecula Coach House, and he even did our engagement photos. He's very personable and makes you feel very comfortable in front of the camera. He does an excellent job framing photos and accounting for lighting (if you know a thing or two about how important that is to pictures). The thing I most liked about Carl was his knowledge about how a wedding is done. He's clearly done this before and can help you plan out the wedding day by accounting for the photos to be taken. I definitely plan on using him for future life events, such as anniversaries, and referring him to my family and friends. PS--I noticed in some of the reviews that he may have failed to appear for events. While I can't explain those occurrences, they all look to have happened around the same time, which means there must have been something serious going on that would have interfered with his business. I don't think those reviews accurately reflect Carl as he is now, and I don't think they should be influential when considering him as a photographer. read more

Carl was amazing from the moment he entered the suite where I was getting ready. He was fun & creative and just a pleasure to work with. Each time I wanted a photo taken he was one step ahead of me. He knew what we wanted and he was able to capture the moments. You will not be disappointed. read more

Scam - I would recommend staying away from this photographer. My husband and I booked Carl Bringas Photography for our wedding on Friday and despite communication via email, phone and text, he did not show up to our wedding and did not call or return any calls. The day after my wedding I attempted to call him and after hearing my voice he hung up on me. He has not reached out to us at all or issues any sort of an apology. The worst part of it all is that we paid in advance which leads me to believe this may be a scam. I should've know when about a week prior to the wedding Carl texted me claiming we owed more money and he had not received payment. I emailed him our contract and prior communications regarding payment. He then assured me that it was a mistake on account of his assistant and that all was well. So much more to say, but most importantly we are extremely disappointed that this man not only took our money, but took away the opportunity for us to formally capture our big day. Update: every year our anniversary is bitter sweet. I am reminded that we have no professional photos to enjoy, none to hang in our home truly it is a devastating experience. Having Carl choose not to show up to our wedding and not to call or answer calls from our wedding planner on our special day. He's never apologized nor given us a reason as to why he missed our wedding. So unprofessional. I'm guessing he actually may be a photographer or pay people to write reviews for him because others seem to have had better experiences with him. I wouldn't advise anyone take the chance of booking him because he just might now show up! read more

Carl recently photographed our wedding and it was an amazing experience! From the moment we met him, we knew he was the best person to do our photos. The excitement he had for our day was contagious! He was a great resource and calming influence during the planning stages. Then on our wedding day, he was a fantastic combination of in charge and sweet. Wrangling family members can be hard and Carl had the right balance of giving directions and keeping people attentive and in line with the right sincerity to be sweet and kind. He was such a joy to work with and we had no doubt in our mind he understood and shared the specialness of the day. He clearly shares your joy and is a holy human being. That goes a long way to project patience and kindness!! And the results were fantastic!!! Such great photos to remember the best day of our lives. I cannot believe we were lucky enough to have Carl do our wedding!! read more
