I hired Diego to capture my engagement proposal and he was absolutely amazing. He captured some amazing shots for us and provided us some cold copies to share of with our family and friends within an hour. My fiance and I were extremly impressed and happy with the poses and the results of his photos. Highly recommend to use him!

Diego was incredible! We had him take family photos while we were visiting Santa Barbara. It’s no easy task dealing with a determined 18 month old, but Diego was so patient and so kind. I couldn’t have asked for a better photographer. He knew the area well and made great suggestions for photo locations. He also was so understanding with my son who kept trying to run towards the pool area. We got our photos back within days and the quality was incredible! I would definitely recommend Diego and hire him again. Absolutely no critiques or complaints! Wonderful guy!

Diego was an exceptional choice for our wedding day! He was thorough and professional and made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. Everyone who was with us for the ceremony commented on how skillful and friendly he was. He even made helpful suggestions for places we should see in the Santa Barbara area over the weekend. If we ever need photos again, Diego is our first pick!
