My Son Mason is graduating from SDSU in May 2026. Our photographer fell through and Alberto saved the day. After some research I called and messaged him. First off I want to say he responded quickly and professionally EVERY time. (I still have photographers that havent gotten back to me)! His communication was amazing and left me completely confident in the booking. Second I'd like to say his pricing is amazing and quite frankly he could charge so much more but glad he doesn't. Third he met my son ontime on the campus. Alberto was patient with the photo taking on the crowded campus. Fourth my son stated to me how easy Alberto was to work with and how he really wanted to get the best picture. Took his time with each photo and din't rush. (Refreshing for a mom who lives out of state and having to just trust the process). Fifth the turn around time was outstanding. We got our photos in a timely manner. Sixth the photos were amazing and captured everything I requested and more. Do not let Alberto's amazing prices deter you. The quality is outstanding and so are his services. You will NOT be dissapointed. read more

Alberto truly exceed my expectations!!! I contacted The Glare Photography when I had to get some professional headshots taken and Alberto was EXTREMELY responsive. He quickly set up a time for us to meet & provided a ton of helpful information up-front. I get a bit uncomfortable while getting my picture taken but, Alberto truly put me at ease and walked me through everything every step of the way. He showed me previews of the photos and explained WHY he chose the lighting, backdrop, pose, etc. I actually learned a lot and left with a ton of wonderful pictures to use on my website. He made amazing edits to the photos, as well, and the whole process took less than 2 weeks from when I initially contacted him. Highly recommend!!! read more

We are absolutely thrilled with our family photography session we did recently and this was the second time shooting since he also did a wedding themed shoot. He made us feel at ease, capturing genuine moments that showcased our connection. The resulting photos are stunning and will be cherished forever. Highly Recommend! read more

Alberto was incredibly well versed in how to pose and best use the light available! So happy I chose him for my grad school photos.

Alberto is awesome- he is kind, courteous and professional, and took some great headshots for me on short notice when another photographer bailed last minute. He put me at ease even though I was nervous, and gave me a great selection of backgrounds to pick from in our short session. His prices are reasonable, and he delivers a great product and sends you a dropbox link where you can easily download all your photos afterwards. I would not hesitate to call him again for an update, he did a fantastic job! read more

Alberto was phenomenal to work with! I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a professional (+ friendly/personable) photographer. He is very communicative, detail-oriented and TALENTED! I'm so grateful to have found him available for a last minute outdoor headshot/ family shoot. I was impressed with his flexibility and that he was incredibly thoughtful and brought back-up equipment just in case it could be helpful for additional photos. I could go on and on, but to put it simply, yes - you should book Alberto if you have the chance to :) read more

This review is a bit overdue, but im glad I have time and remembered to write it right now! Alberto did my graduation pictures at SDSU.

We cannot say enough positive things about Alberto and the Glare Photography. Alberto made Kelly and Amy's day so special. Alberto was so creative and professional in our short time together at our beach elopement. The pictures were delivered just as Alberto promised. The best surprise was the pictures came with beautiful enhancements. I cannot say enough good things about Glare Photography. Thank you Alberto! read more

I can't say enough good things!! Alberto took amazing photos of my son on SDSU campus in his graduation clothes. There were several stunning backgrounds, and he captured my son's smile perfectly. He was super easy to work with , great at communicating, and price was fair. Def if you want gorgeous pics of your grad on the SDSU campus, this is the guy!! read more

Alberto did my college graduation pictures a few weeks ago, and he was awesome! This was my first time working with a photographer, and he made me feel so comfortable and confident. He sent me my photos in a timely manner and did a wonderful job editing the pictures. I am so thankful I found him to do my graduation photos. If you're a SDSU student, I highly recommend you choose Alberto as your photographer for graduation. read more

Excellent value and very professional. Appreciated that Alberto opted for shooting in a number of locations for my headshot as the spot I least expected produced the best photos. Highly recommend! read more

Alberto is probably the nicest photographer I've ever dealt with. He is so nice, so professional, and so willing to go above and beyond his obligations to provide you with the best level of service. I needed to take some photos for my law firm, so I decided to call Alberto. He came and met me downtown took about 100 pictures, and I liked about 10 of them. That's a pretty good conversion rate if you ask me! Usually, out of 100 photos, people only pick 1, 2, or maybe 3. I picked 10, so needless to say, I was very happy with his skills. In addition, after you pick the pictures you like, he "touches up" your favorite photos as a part of your package. Best value photographer you will find in San Diego. Great prices, and great results. Enjoy Alberto San Diego! read more

Alberto is just fantastic!!! Loved his professionalism, loved his personality and loved his work! Completely recommend him again and again ... can't wait to have our family photos taken again next year by him! Thanks Alberto!!! read more

Alberto is simply amazing! Originally, my wife and I just wanted to ask for his help for our wedding ceremony and reception, but he went above and beyond and offered his services regarding engagement photos. He met with us before the shoots and made it clear that he will do his absolute best for each picture that he takes. It's so nice to have someone reliably on time and ready to work. Besides his timeliness and preparedness, Alberto is personable and relational in how he does his work. He captured many of our candid moments as well as our posed moments. He worked with our price range, understanding that we were the sole people investing in our wedding. If you want a great photographer with quality skills, fun personality, and affordable prices, call or e-mail him today. If we have more family photos or friend's events, we will definitely be recommending him left and right! read more

I couldn't have asked for a more professional, understanding and amazing person to be my photographer. My wife and I were married on 11/15/2014 and we were lucky to have won a package from Alberto that we were able to add on to. He worked with us to accommodate time and planing for the types of pictures we wanted. He is very interactive, extremely knowledgeable, cool under pressure and produces top notch work. If I ever had cause to need a photographer again, I would use him in a heart beat. I truly can't say enough good words about him, if he is available for your needs, book him. read more

Alberto is such a great photographer. We were introduced to him by a friend and we knew instantly we found something special. He is such a pleasure to work with and he always goes above and beyond. Whether it's going way over time to get a few extra shots or sending printed photos cutely arranged in a collage with our digital prints. I am always so impressed with the experience we get when we work with him. He does a great job of letting you view the pictures in real time as the session is happening to get yours thoughts and ideas and make sure you are getting the pictures you love. He is so patient and great with kids, our daughter can take a little while to warm up to people and he was great at being silly and making her smile which is no small feat. By the end of a family photo session he had our two year old say boing! Pictures fun! Alberto will always be our first choice when taking photos. I look forward to working with him again for all of our family's special moments! read more

We got our wedding photos back and loved them too. He did a great job. Seriously, cannot be more satisfied with the service, product, value, and quality we got from Alberto.

Definitely will be keeping him around. read more
