I have known Sergio for a while and have always been familiar with his work. So when my husband…read moreproposed in May of 2011, we hired Sergio literally the next day. I knew my husband and I didn't want the stereotypical 'posed' wedding photos - we wanted a collection of photographs that really captured the moments as they unfolded. That being said, Sergio was our obvious choice. Sergio stayed in touch with me during the planning process and was even a resource for me for everything from wedding colors to ceremony locations at our venue. We had a Skype meeting (my husband and I live in Dallas) and I would send Sergio my ideas and inspiration as details started to fall into place. My husband and I were married a year later in May of 2012 just outside of New Orleans, LA. I knew Sergio would take fabulous pictures, what I didn't know was how significant his 'eye' and input would be the days leading up to our event. The florist had a hard time understanding our concept. In addition, she didn't order enough flowers and her solution was to 'borrow' flowers from the two other weddings occurring that weekend. The wedding coordinator was just going through the motions and the whole dress rehearsal was sort of an unorganized mess. Sergio really took the bull by the horns and basically redirected the ceremony rehearsal so the pictures would have a better background. He also took it upon himself to handle our florist, answering her questions and providing suggestions so I could relax a bit the night before. About 15 minutes before our outdoor ceremony, it started to downpour. The coordinator delayed the ceremony in hopes the rain would stop. Eventually, Sergio pushed to move the entire thing indoors and then supervised the very quick set up at the rain out location. Your wedding can be such a whirlwind of emotions and it really pays off to have vendors with experience that you can trust. I literally don't think our wedding would have been what it was without Sergio's presence. I leaned on him so many times throughout the weekend and he more than delivered. Not only was the whole experience that much more enjoyable - but our pictures were breathtaking. I almost struggle to even put into words how thrilled my husband and I were with the outcome. The images are visually stunning and something we will treasure for years to come. Sergio's photo journalistic approach caught parts of our wedding that we would have otherwise forgotten or missed. The overall attention to detail and lighting really makes his work stand out from other wedding photographers. His talent is second to none and we are constantly complimented on our wedding pictures. Needless to say, my husband and I highly recommend him to anybody looking for an exceptional wedding photographer.

Summary: DON'T HIRE HIM. We got married nearly five years ago, and we're still waiting on a DVD of…read moreour photos and a refund for the album he decided he couldn't complete. He is totally unprofessional, and he has made the post-wedding photo process an absolute nightmare. Long version: We decided to hire Sergio for our wedding after we met him while he was a second shooter at my friend's wedding. His prices seemed reasonable and we loved his style. Because we were having a traditional Indian wedding, we talked to him at length about how the ceremony may be more complicated and different than what he was used to - he assured us this would be fine. This was all five years ago. Sergio was great to work with at the wedding. The nightmare begin afterward. He was initially quite prompt getting us a draft of the album (within a few months), but it was quite short. We wanted something bigger to capture the many ceremonies of the day. It took us about a year to get back to him (after consulting with various family members), but we eventually got back to him with a very detailed list of the photos to be included to capture all of the important moments of the ceremony and some ideas for how we could include them in the spread. After that, he promised to get it to us by a date - that date came and went, and we never heard from him. We called, emailed, Facebook messaged and heard nothing. After nearly a year of this, we contacted the photographer who had hired him as a second shooter, and Sergio finally responded to us after that photographer intervened. He apologized and again promised to get us a draft of the album. But, yet again, that date came and went and he stopped being responsive. Finally, he emailed us and said he wouldn't be able to do our album because it was more complicated than the style he is comfortable with and promised us a refund. This was about two years ago. We never received a DVD from him and we are still waiting on a refund of the money he owes us for the album he failed to provide. He did give us a Dropbox photo with all of the photos he took for our wedding, but this was only after months of unreturned calls and emails and finally leaving a voicemail that my grandmother had broken her hip and uncle had a stroke and I wanted them to see our wedding photos before they died. (This was true.) I have reiterated to him many times that I'd like an organized DVD of our photos so that we can create the album he didn't, since we IDed photos by their number. He doesn't seem to care. I have also reiterated that we were never that mad about his missing deadlines or even his inability to complete the album. What has been completely disrespectful and unprofessional is his almost total lack of communication. He only deems us worth responding to when we involve other professional colleagues or post comments on his facebook page that make his negligence public. It's really too bad that the memories of our wedding day has to be marred by our terrible experience with Sergio. I am looking forward to one day receiving our photo DVD and our money so I can put all of this behind me, but given his track record, I'm not holding my breath. Please - learn from our experience and save yourself the misery - it is NOT worth hiring Sergio, no matter how nice the photos look.

After experiencing what great work Carl Petersen did for our friend's wedding, I knew I would have…read moreto hire him at some point. When I found out I was pregnant it was the perfect opportunity for maternity photos. It's a tricky thing when you're hiring a photographer because you never know if they are going to capture that feeling/ ambiance you are looking for. More importantly you never know if you'll work well together. If you don't feel comfortable with the photographer or if they don't give you enough direction, the pictures won't turn out. Being a sometime photographer myself, I am pretty picky when it comes to photos. Carl was thorough in giving tips for before the shoot like what to wear, making a Pinterest board, etc. He was very relaxed when we met which made it easy to spend the next 1.5 hrs together. What I appreciated the most is that he took the time to make sure the pose and lighting was just right. He also paid attention to details like my hair or if something was on my dress or patting down weeds. Most importantly, he has the eye for creative shots. He nailed the vibe I was going for. Just look at his photos and you'll know that Tacoma has just scored one of the best photographers out there. Loved my photos. You'll love yours too!
