Where do I begin? My husband and I were initially skeptical about the wedding industry, feeling it was full of dishonest people. That was until we found JOSE and the other vendors we ended up booking, including our wedding venue, Rock Island Lake Club. Within five minutes of our initial consultation, we felt comfortable and confident in Jose's ability to capture our wedding photos.

Jose is kind, easy-going, and flexible, which made our wedding planning less stressful. On the day of our wedding, Jose and his videographer arrived earlier than expected and got straight to work. Throughout the night, he captured all of my photo wishes!

Not even two weeks after our wedding, he sent us our sneak peek photos, and they were amazing! His prices are unbeatable for the quality he produces. I would hire Jose again for any future needs (no, not another wedding!).

Our wedding was on March 24, 2024, at Rock Island Lake Club. We started with our engagement session and we both can get camera shy, but Jose made it so fun and easy to get comfortable in front of the camera! He was so patient with us and really listened to us and our inspirational pics. We got all our photos back super quick which was awesome since I really needed to send out our Save the Dates.

Moving forward to the wedding, Jose was very easy to contact with a quick text and was so knowledgeable about everything! I felt so confident going into the wedding day. On the wedding day, Jose & his videographer showed up early and excited! As we were getting ready, he did all his detail shots and I could tell from just looking at how they were setting up they were going to be beautiful! I had a box aside with everything he would need for those photos. We had plenty of time to take all the photos plus more!! Our venue said we had one of the largest albums she has seen in a long time! I loved how he would stop and pause us to get a shot because the lighting was perfect. It really showed how he cares about the details.

We got all of our photos and videos back super quick - now we did get married in an off-season so that probably contributed to the quick turnaround. (but I was so thankful!) They were all so beautiful, the reception photos made us laugh and the video made the whole family SOB way too much! the passion in his editing work is OUTSTANDING!!! I catch myself watching it multiple times a month.

I can't recommend Jose enough and if you are lucky to secure him you will be in amazing hands! (it was very difficult to only upload 20 photos to show off his amazing work!)

Jose was the best at making us feel comfortable and confident about our photos. He included an engagement photoshoot which was not only very sweet of him, but also very helpful for my husband and I to practice taking formal photos before the wedding. Everything went smoothly.
