Working with Rolando was great. I shared my Pinterest board with him and he was able to capture every shot I wanted. He took soooo many pictures and shared them all with me. 10 out of 10, would book again.

I can’t say enough good things about Rolando. He was such a joy to work with! He messaged me back immediately when I reached out to him, he was on time on the wedding day, he took such beautiful, creative photos, and he had such a kind, calming presence on such a hectic day. Our wedding was very small, and required a lot of travel, and he was incredibly accommodating. We also got married in a Catholic church and he was very familiar with the etiquette and rules, which was amazing since sometimes churches can be a little picky about what is or isn’t allowed. As a plus sized bride, I anticipated only finding one or two photos that I liked, and having to crop them or pay for further editing. With Rolando that was not the case at all! I love each photo I see more than the last one, and couldn’t pick a favorite because there are so many incredible ones. Overall, our experience with him was delightful, and when we have our second, bigger wedding we hope he’ll be available for that as well.

Details: Couples portrait • Traditional / classic (looking directly at the camera) • Natural / environmental (photographed in an outdoor setting) • Outdoors • Digital or online download • My home, venue, etc.

Ronaldo was fantastic to work with! We had a family reunion (30 people). He was warm, patient, flexible and more than anything, was in constant touch with us before and after and did a great job with the photo shoot. We have memories that we’ll cherish a lifetime!

Cannot speak more highly of Rolando! A last minute request for a next-day wedding was met with an immediate reply and incredible enthusiasm. Very communicative, he showed up early, was easy going and relaxed despite our logistics changes and delays. A friendly and easy-going photographer, he is zero stress and a seamless vendor to add to your wedding day. He turned around photos in just a few days and they are truly stunning - from family shots to candids and details, he mastered it all! Thank you Rolando!!

I cannot say enough good things about Rolando! He was quick to respond, punctual, he was soooo incredibly nice and made the entire experience comfortable and fun and went with all the silly pictures we asked him to take! Such a wonderful person to work with if you need a photographer he is the one!

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I will include the price of what I think will include EVERYTHING so that you don't get any surprises after our agreement. I price fairly, I don't believe in overcharging the customer. If you have any special request, 99% of the time I am very flexible. Also I don't rush or look at my watch, I am very flexible with time and capture any additional detail.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I like to go over all the details, location and prices prior to the shoot. I'm MORE than thrilled when someone wants to schedule a call or a meet in person because it's really nice to connect and understand each other. I usually show up early and be prepared.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am self taught as well as one-on-one training with experienced photographers and videographers filming love in Tropical Costa Rica.
