Ruben, thank you so much for everything you were exceptional and you went above and beyond. The bonus pop studio that you brought over to the venue was such a delight for everyone. Especially for families that don’t really take family photos at all. It was such a treat for everyone to have photos to take home as a treasured gift & keepsake. ✅ Arrived early to set up! ✅ Personable and funny (had everyone cracking up) ✅ Kind and courteous. ✅ Shared all of the raws & included edited! ✅ Photos we’re shared super fast! Everything was exceptional and appreciative. Your objective was to come and capture moments & candid memories of the event. You did that. And then you exceeded that by bringing a pop-up studio where everyone was able to have portrait take home. Again, thank you. Xx, The siblings: Jenny, Karen, Paul & Amanda

Amazing. I was in a real bind looking for someone. Everyone was extremely overcharging and it looked as if I was not going to have a wedding photographer. Luckily Ruben reached out! We exchanged a quick “what I was looking for” and what he is able to do (everything if you’re wondering). He did not charge much and he was a solid half hour early to check the venue out and scope! I have to give credit that my wedding went smoothly BECAUSE OF RUBEN. I do portrait photography on the side/hobby and have little to no experience with people (other than friends and doing favors for them for photography). It was great to have Ruben take the leadership role and help guide the entire day. He ensured we had every group and couple shot possible. My husband and I were relieved he was available and booked about 50hours before our wedding!!!! After the wedding, he went to check the sun to see if it was in a spot that was best for us and our photos! He’s very easy to work with. He is really all about making sure everyone is happy with photos. He is kind, informational, relaxed, understanding, and overall excellent on excellent. Our families raved about what a gem he was and how lucky we were to find him!! It was meant to be. We will be booking/working with him for our reception and other events to come!
