Working with Juan was an absolute dream!!! He's professional, fun, and so incredibly talented. From our first conversation, we could already tell he really cared about the experience as much as the final product!! First, Juan made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. He gave just the right amount of direction so we knew what to do, but everything still felt natural and easy. Nothing was overly posed, and the photos came out stunning! They captured the style we wanted, which was warm, emotional, and true to who we are. Also, he has an amazing eye for detail and composition. You can tell he notices the little things that matter (some things I hadn't even thought of!) and every photo felt intentional and thoughtful. Juan also has such a calm presence, which made the whole day feel even more grounded. A few of our guests even thought he was a close friend because of how easily he blended in and made everyone feel at ease!! If you're looking for a photographer who's not only talented but also deeply genuine and invested in your day, Juan is it. 5 stars is not enough! read more

Completely obsessed with his work! He was extremely helpful when I told him I have never done a photo shoot before and didn't know how to pose. He walked my husband and I through all the different poses that look great. Juan was professional, on-time, a great communicator and quick with returning the digital photos. We even got a few photos back the next day for a sneak peek! It made me even more excited to get the rest. Pay the extra fee to use his client closet! It is so worth it and one less thing to worry about on picture day! read more

5/5 stars for Juan. Juan is very professional and easy and fun to work with. He captures your vision and helps make it 10x better then what you imagined it to be. I originally reached out to Juan when my husband and I wanted to have our engagement photoshoot fairly soon after he proposed. The location was in Malibu but he wasn't available because of the short notice. I decided I loved his work so much that I reached out shortly after because my husband and I decided to elope in Santa Barbara. Juan was more then willing to travel out of his area to caption our wedding through his camera lens! He also worked with us and recommended we do our engagement photoshoot in another beautiful location and he was booked for both! Follow his Instagram his work is amazing, he captures more then just couples and weddings! read more

He kept an open line of communication throughout the whole process. We had such a blast at our wedding and he was there to capture it all.

Working with Juan was seamless from start to finish. He was responsive and helpful in the booking process as much as in coordinating our shoot. He shows mastery over lighting, couples poses, and showcasing earth tones. He made us feel comfortable during our shoot and helped us try out a lot of different combinations of poses and backgrounds to find the right ones. I especially recommend him for the Joshua Tree area since he is a local expert in knowing the secret spots to capture the desert magic. He quickly delivered preview photos and the full gallery, and the photos are just incredible. We already have lots of family and friends asking about who the amazing photographer is who captured these shots! We're so grateful that Juan worked with us to capture our engagement and lifelong memories! read more
