Wonderful Photographer

Jose Luis was responsive and professional. He captured the intimacy of the special moments and also the fun of the day. He was great to work with, making us all feel comfortable. He was flexible with the time when we had to adjust a bit for the rain. And his pictures turned out beautiful! Thanks for helping to bring our families together Luis! 💝
