“I needed professional photos taken for an online application. So I did a google search of nearby photographers and found Carlos. I gave him a call and was able to make an appointment right away. He is very professional and kind. Easy to work and get along with. We took a number of shots and viewed them on the computer. He gave valuable input into which photos I should choose from. After choosing the final photo, he did his final edits and was ready within the same day. Very happy with the outcome. His portfolio is excellent and I highly recommend him for any event!”

“Thank you Carlos for blessing my family with your God given talents. In my 40 years as a photographer I have never recommended anyone till today. Once again thanks - VGPHOTO ...”

“Carlos was amazing right from the start just for the fact that we needed someone so last minute. I spoke with him through facebook and asked questions and he answered all of them immediately and had an excellent price! On the day of the wedding he was at the location before I got there already taking photos of the groom and scenery. During the wedding he was there capturing every moment but was never in the way which I always think is super important in a photographer!! Afterwards we took photos with friends and family and then went off by ourselves to take pictures of just the two of us. Carlos was willing to take some of my suggestions in what I wanted for photos (even my suggestion for photos on the train tracks!!) and also had plenty of suggestions himself which made the photo taking quick and efficient! He was fun and easy to work with and was personable and kind. The best part of all of this was the end result!! He got the pictures up and ready to view on his page in THREE DAYS!! which was very exciting for me and the pictures were absolutely STUNNING!! Every single picture was breath taking and beautifully executed!! I would absolutely use his services for future photo opportunities!! Thank you Carlos!!!”

“Carlos was wonderful! I needed a photographer with less than 24 hours notice and Carlos was ready to tackle the challenge. He was prompt, kind, and willing to work with me while trying to coordinate pictures for two very busy co-founders (a lot of “hurry up... and wait”!). When I needed the pictures next day he without hesitation had them ready for me by the morning and was very willing to make any changes I had requested. I highly recommend Carlos for any of your future events, you won’t be disappointed!”

“I knew from when I first started planning my wedding that I was going to hire Carlos as my photographer. I have seen his work before and his pictures come out so beautiful. He has a balance of taking the traditional pictures and also pictures with a creative or unique touch. Both of my engagement photos as well as my wedding pictures came out amazing. I am so happy with him and his work. I could not have asked for a better person to have as my photographer at my wedding.”

“Dear Carlos,

I was uploading the images we shot during our workshop together onto my computer. During a quick retouch of one of the photos, out of nowhere, I suddenly became overwhelmed with a profound feeling of joy and satisfaction!

I am so excited because I was able to compare where I was two years ago and the struggle I was having with off camera flash. The improvement in just our two hours together from two years ago (find image attached, nephew grad pic and samples) are astounding! I cannot wait for the opportunity to apply these techniques very soon!

I must reiterate, THANK YOU for a fantastic workshop!

All the best,
Betty”

“Thank you sooo much for a great job tonight at Mikaela’s Sweet 16. Everyone was so comfortable around you and you were a pro!!”

“We both loved working you! Munir usually don’t like taking pics but he was very good with you so definitely like to work with you again soon!
Thank You again for your wonderful work!”

“There’s nobody better!

I looked at the portfolios of many NYC area photographers and thought many of them were excellent, but then I came upon Carlos.

No comparison!

His work was immediately superior.

Carlos is a true artist in capturing a special spark in each and every one of his subjects. His photos reflect a super attractive authenticity, genuineness, and charm that is missing from other photographers’ work. He discovers each subject’s unique gift and makes it come alive in a huge way.

Plus, Carlos is really fun to work with. He makes the session effortless and easy. (And he’s quick, which is a big plus when so many of us are maxed out on our schedules!)

I consider myself totally non-photogenic, but after a session with Carlos, I was ready to offer myself as a 60+ model! Everyone has been raving about the photos, and they only saw proofs. BTW: I come from a family of professional photographers (none of whom still live in my area, which is why I had to find someone else), so I’ve been around top pro’s for years.

You can’t go wrong with Carlos.

I warn you, however: Once you have one session with Carlos, you’ll be wanting him to capture every single photo-worthy event in your life! He’s THAT good. And it’s that fun.

Don’t tell me later that I didn’t warn you!

“Dear Carlos,

Thank you so much! The pictures are amazing. John and I just finished looking through them and we loved it. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I’ll be singing your praises all over Facebook and recommending you to everyone I know.

Thank you again.

“We used Carlos for our wedding and were so happy with the results. He listened to what we wanted and how we wanted to enjoy our wedding but also have great pictures. He and his partner were such a delight to work with and we could not be happier with our pictures. Our guests all loved him too! We would highly recommend Carlos and his work.
