From the beginning, we knew how important it was to work with a photographer that made us feel…read morecomfortable on our special day. I remember reaching out to a few photographers and immediately connected with Lucia. Lucia was nothing short of extraordinary. She ensured that we felt comfortable and at ease as she photographed us. The fact that she is bilingual also made our families so comfortable in being photographed. We experienced first hand how patient and kind she is. These qualities highlighted how she enjoys capturing people's moment. I 110% recommend you booking Lucia for your special occasion! She is very professional, experienced in navigating the city clerk office, transparent, and excellent communicator. My only regret is not taking a picture with her because she was one of the many highlights of our day.

He was very…read moreresponsive and made helpful recommendations about our day of timeline to ensure we would have enough time to take all of the photos we requested. We really appreciated the check-in calls leading up to the wedding where he took the time to really understand what we were looking for. Tony is great at posing and giving instructions to look stylish instead of awkward and to create some natural-looking variation between photos. He took a variety of photos ranging from individual to large group (~30 people) as well as from formal to fun. He was patient with the little kids and the wind although ultimately my hair had to be pulled back for a bit. He scouted our venue for the best locations and got our photos back in under 3 weeks. Tony did an amazing job capturing our wedding day and gladly recommend his services!

Recently, I went to him for my maternity shoot with my significant other for our bundle of joy. Ricardo and his team helped us to feel comfortable and we had fun doing it.

This review is long but it is the truth. Please read as I would not want this experience to happen…read moreto anyone else. Do not. I repeat DO NOT WORK WITH THIS GUY. He is a scammer and a liar. I was super excited to do a boudoir shoot for my birthday, and since I had purchased it off of Groupon since September, I didn't want to let it expire so about 3 weeks ago I called Ricardo to set up an appointment. When I got to the building, I buzzed the apartment number, and then I opened the gate. The inside building door was open and I walked in. Out of nowhere this girl starts yelling at the top of the stairs saying, "why does someone keep buzzing for no f****ing reason?" and in my head I'm just like, "am I in the right place?" And she turns to me and asks if I'm here for Ricardo and I'm like yes. In my mind I'm thinking the makeup artist is someone he hired on payroll or something but as she's doing my makeup she tells me that she's Ricardo's daughter. Weird. Thankfully I brought my OWN foundation just in case because she tells me that she doesn't have my shade. Rule of thumb: as a professional makeup artist you should have EVERY SHADE. Another red flag. Not only that she sent her friend, sister, whoever to get lashes since that was another request from me (and it shouldn't be). After she did my makeup she asked how I'm paying and then she charged $75. I told her that I was told $50 when I spoke to Ricardo. I was furious. She did a good job but I personally know other professional makeup artists who wouldn't do that and still do a better Job. After the shoot he tells me to come back after I change and take a look at the photos. He tells me to rate the ones that I like 5 star but doesn't tell me that if I go back then all the photos I selected get removed and I have to start the WHOLE selection process again. As I'm going through the photos, he's on WhatsApp videochat with his family with children literally yelling in the background and just being extremely unprofessional. As I'm going through the photos, the last photos he took did not appear on screen and he's looking at me clueless like this never happened to him before and turns out it wasn't on his memory card. So I went to go change and do the last pose again. Then after selecting, Ricardo asked me, "Am I the best photographer you ever had?" And I tell him "no, but this is one of the cool shoots I've done". Then he asks which other photographers I've worked with, and as he goes through the photographer's profile he criticizes the photographer who has done superb work and says that their photos are "too retouched" and that he works with different agencies, blah blah blah. Bullshit. You don't criticize someone else's work just because your own work is subpar. What frustrates me was that after he redeemed the Groupon (which was $79) he said that to get the edited photos and the gallery it was going to be $500. $500?!? I told him I'm not paying that, then he said that he'll "throw in 10 edited photos" and that he'll only charge $200 (additional to the $79 since he said that price was only to book him which made no sense). Looking back I shouldn't have given him anything. Not even a dime. He preys on women's vulnerability and does things in the moment and does not keep his word. He also makes people rate him on the spot in front of him just so they can feel pressured and lie then takes their money. The unedited photos were nice but he doesn't give you the full online gallery as other professional photographers actually do. He gives you a Google drive link (via text, not email) to only the photos you selected. Just unprofessional all across the board. Update: The Groupon only said 2 professional photos (which isn't even fair either). Ricardo sent me the 10 edited photos (plus 2 that I didn't ask for and were not my favorites either.) He did a TERRIBLE, half-ass, lackluster job editing. I could've done a better job editing them. In one photo he edited my left hip but not the right hip and I'm like why was that edited at all. He then used some beauty skin retouching effect that made my lips and body smaller. That's not editing or retouching photos. He doesn't know what he's doing and I'm surprised why he's getting so many rave reviews about his work because it's trash.
