    Incredible Photography Team!!

    Words can't describe how incredible our experience with Hastain Davis Studios was. Greg and Frances are more than just wedding photographers. They are storytellers and true artists! From the very beginning, they were communicative, reliable, personable, outgoing, passionate and most importantly, SO comfortable and easy to work with. We wanted to make sure our wedding photos were going to tell our story in a unique and creative way, as well as evoke every emotion from our wedding day. After looking at their portfolio, we knew their artistic style and creativity was just what we were looking for. On the wedding day, we knew when they were taking our photos that we would be extremely happy with them, but Frances and Greg surpassed every expectation we had! They captured every moment perfectly. They truly take pride in their art and love what they do. It shows in every single photo! We highly recommend Hastain Davis Studios for your special day!

    I can't say enough good things about Frances! She was super flexible with us in everything! We did an engagement and wedding photography with her. All of our photos look amazing so far! We have had a sneak peak of a few and love them! Couldn't have asked for a better person to do our photos! PS she also suggested having a shared Pinterest board where she could learn about what we liked, this was awesome! I loved when she would also pin ideas for us. Frances was super flexible and affordable, we would recommend her to everyone!

    Last minute Halloween wedding

    Greg and Francis were absolutely amazing. I was so lucky they were available; I was in a horrible pickle.

    My wife and I had decided, 2 weeks prior, to get married on Halloween. I'll spare the details of why we needed it to a Halloween, in 2020 of all years, but we were determined.

    I had been unsuccessful in locating a photographer all the way up to the day of the wedding. My wife-to-be was in tears, and I had thought I had exhausted every lead. A Google search, and another professional's referral later, Greg and Francis called me to let me know that they were available. Greg was quick to provide the answers that I needed, regarding their work, their social distancing processes, and their pricing.

    Greg and Francis met my wife where she was having her hair and makeup done; when they showed up to the venue, they not only fit in with our friends and loved ones, they melted into the background. There are photos of us from angles that surprised me, only because I was so sure that both of them had been taking photos somewhere else.

    I waited to write this review until I got to see the final product, and I absolutely didn't have to. The photos are spectacular, and everything we could have hoped for.

    I don't normally write reviews. This is because either my opinion ends up being expressed by someone else who wrote a review already, or I don't have an opinion strongly enough to care to write it down. Point being, I would be hard pressed to voice any criticism, I cannot say enough good things about Greg and Francis (and Hastain Davis Studios), and I believe it strongly enough to say so for anyone looking for a professional photographer.

    Amazing!!!!

    I can't even begin to describe how amazing these two are. They recently shot our wedding and I have to say, I've never been so excited for photos! They spent the entire day tirelessly working to get the most amazing creative shots of our unique wedding and were so fantastic to work with!! I would highly recommend them to anyone needing a photographer. Their creativity, humor, professionalism and attention to detail are bar none. Reach out to them! You won't be disappointed!

    Invest in your photography- you won't regret it!

    Hastain Davis (ie- Francis & Greg) were by far the most important vendor that we decided on for our wedding. We had the opportunity to see their handiwork at a brothers' destination wedding and knew that we simply had to hire them when it was our turn to get married. Any photographer can capture the basic shots- but Francis & Greg capture the moments: the drama, the excitement, the emotion- all of it. They love finding unique ways to capture the day - they are clearly passionate about their art- and that is exactly what they produce: art. We have only seen some of the sneak peeks so far (the wedding was 3 days ago), but we already know that this was by far the most important investment of our big day- we will cherish these photographs for the rest of our lives.

    True talents

    I am continually impressed by the work of Hastain Davis. They are true professionals and talents who elevate what it means to take wedding photos (I say this as a professional wedding planner). I highly recommend their work!

    Wedding Photos

    Our experience with this dynamic duo was above and beyond. They added so much to our wedding experience and captured our moments perfectly. The price was very reasonable for their skills, and pure awesomeness.

    Thank you for everything!!

    I can’t even explain how much I loved our experience with you two and our photos. Every single time I look at my photos I feel like I am reliving one of the best days of my life. A little story of my journey to the people who may be considering them as your photographers: My husband & I had two cancelled wedding dates before we got married in NY (originally planned to marry in Puerto Rico) Frances & Greg stood by us for each date and traveled to photograph our wedding in NY. By the end of our time they were family and I was sad to see them go! So if you are thinking about choosing them, I say YOU NEED TO CHOOSE THEM. True artists, and two amazing people. I can’t say enough how much I love you guys and can’t thank you both enough!

    Beautiful Photos

    We loved our photos from Rincon Images for our wedding in Rincon. They were unique, beautifully timed and in the moment. Our guests also loved the images. Frances and Greg were available before the wedding to meet with us and chat about where we were going to take photos and the schedule. And, the album included in the package is worth it! It’s a timeliness memory of the day. We would definitely recommend Rincon Images.

    Frances and Greg from Rincon Images photographed our wedding like no one else could have. After planning a wedding, and having looked at hundreds of wedding photos, we would have to say, hands down, they are the best photos we have ever seen. The photo’s they took are absolutely breathtaking – they have a very distinct style and the ability to capture the feeling and emotion of the moment.

    This was our second opportunity to work with Frances and Greg. They photographed our marriage proposal in Puerto Rico last year and since then we knew that we had to have them photograph our wedding.

    From the time that they arrived at our destination wedding in Mexico they were already scouting out photo-shoot locations. The two of them did everything they could to make sure our wedding photos were going to be perfect. They spent multiple days researching the area, driving to potential locations for photo-shoots, testing out those locations, and then giving us feedback so we could decide on exactly what we wanted. They were there to help us plan our ceremony timing, making sure that we had the optimal lighting.

    Frances and Greg not only took the time to get to know us as a couple but they also got to know all our friends and family. We had multiple guests comment, and compliment on how warm and friendly they were.

    Because of the time that they took getting to know our guests, everyone felt comfortable getting on the dance floor – even while being photographed.

    We have had countless people tell us that our wedding photos are not only the most unique ones that they have ever seen, but that they are the most beautiful. We truly couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. You can tell that this is not just a job for them- this is their true passion.

    We haven't even received the photos yet, but I can tell you from the "sneak peek" they sent, that they are going to be magazine-worthy! Frances and Greg were great at communication, the price seemed fair, they showed up on-time, were VERY patient and calm, they didn't get in the way, and it seems like they covered EVERY aspect of the wedding and venue, families, flowers, EVERYTHING! I could not be happier with their service! The only tiny negative is that it took a LONG time after the ceremony for them to be done with the bride and groom. However, the photos are all worth it. If you want more time at the reception and less photos, just set a time limit. They were so respectful...they would listen!

    They were fantastic! So responsive, helpful and flexible. I asked them many questions not even related to photography while planning our wedding and they were always helpful. Frances and Greg blended right in to our wedding as well. Got right in the mix of dancing and celebrating to capture the event.

    ??????HIGHLY RECOMMENDED EXCEEDED OUR EXPECTATIONS ??????

    We found Rincon Images on weddingwire and after browsing their website and liking their featured work, we committed to hiring them as our destination wedding photographers.
    We made arrangements to meet them at their studio and instantly fell in love with them.
    Frances & Greg were both warm, friendly, easygoing, genuine and the ultimate professionals.
    They were qualified, knowledgable, informative when asked questions and
    demonstrated an interest in our vision and zeal to realize it. They were just as excited as we were about our big day.
    They showed us some of their impressive and vast collection of beautiful and artistic photos and paintings which convinced us that we had made the right choice in entrusting Rincon Images with our wedding memories.
    On the big day, they arrived on time, enthusiastic and ready to work.
    They literally covered every single aspect of the wedding from details (I worked so hard on) to entertainment and emotions and did it gracefully, with a smile on their faces and interacting with everyone.
    They were an absolute joy and pleasure to work with, true professionals and great people.
    They even provided sneak peek photos a day or two after the wedding which were breathtaking!!
    Rincon Images did esquisite work and for quite reasonable rates. They are worth every penny. So much so, that we have
    booked a trash the dress session with them.
    We were very fortunate to have found them and had the opportunity to work with them.
    Very grateful to Rincon Images.

    Frances and Greg are the absolute best! They are professional, personable and extremely great at their craft. My husband and I got more than we could have hoped for. The photography experience was seamless and fun. They certainly have an eye for the shot and at times we forgot they were there. 2 thumbs up for the execution and delivery. We love our pictures!! They definitely captured the full essence of our wedding day. We can't thank Rincon Images enough for providing us with a lifetime of memories.

    Working with Rincon Images for our Vow Renewal ceremony was a complete joy. They told me what to expect and delivered over and above! This was a surprise vow renewal for my wife and I and as a guy planning this, it was awesome to have the perspective and support from Rincon. We worked with Frances and Greg who are a real treat. They captured the surprise perfectly ... all the emotion and expressions of the moment. Their creativity provided a product that captured the event and the moments for a lifetime!

    I know this ... we will use Rincon Images anytime we need professional pictures while in Puerto Rico and have already talked about using them here where we live should we ever need a wedding photographer for our kids!

    Top notch photography, service and people!

    Our wedding day was absolute perfection and we could not have picked a better team than Rincon Images to capture the moment to cherish forever. They definitely have a passion for photography that you do not come by often. After speaking with other photographers, we felt that Francis and Greg were the only ones that gave us the impression that they actually cared that we got great images. It wasn’t just another job to them and they used their creativity for some of the best wedding pictures I have ever seen. They gave incredible direction to make sure we were posed properly and were excited to take even a few silly pictures we wanted. During the wedding, they were not obstructive and captured great shots of all of our guests and family. We still cannot believe that we have pictures that belong in the pages of a magazine! They work so well together and the quality of work they provide is second to none. We are exceptionally impressed by their work and believe that this was the best money spent on the entire day.

    We TRULY CANNOT say enough about Frances and Greg!!! I will start with the fact that they are like family, they take their job seriously and mix within the group. You don't even realize they are there taking pictures because they are blending in with your guests...as well as socializing with your guests...and our guets LOVED them.They made our whole trip/wedding an experience of a lifetime...not only for myself and my husband, but for ALL of our guests!! I feel blessed that they were our photographers for our trip and wedding...and I feel even more blessed to call them our friends. EVERY post you read about Rincon Images IS true...THEY ARE THE BEST in every way!!!! I can't wait to visit Rincon again...we will call Frances and Greg just to take them out for dinner and drinks!!

    Generous, versatile, great listeners, artists, Frances and Greg are a great team that weren't just our wedding photographers but a wonderful component of our wedding.

    They took time to set up a Skype call well in advance to get to know us and what we were looking for. Out of that conversation came an adventurous sunrise photoshoot the day before our wedding. We are a quirky and self- conscious couple but they put us at ease and revelled in our silliness.

    They were so unassuming and flexible during the ceremony putting in tons more time than was agreed upon.

    As they put together the album we got lots of sneak peeks and less than two months later we received all our gorgeous photos free to download Unwatermarked for anyone we send the link to as well as a personal flash drive. Their photos of us capture who we are because Frances and Greg took time to know us. Their images cover all the emotions of our wedding, from dramatic and profound black and whites to hilarious, joyful candid shots of our friends. They are true artists, and have done something very special for us.

    I can't say enough great things about Frances and Greg! We don't like doing professional photos, but they made us feel so comfortable at our destination beach wedding. The first photos we've seen are nothing short of amazing - artistic, romantic, and gorgeous. Frances is an ace at lighting, and Greg was so chill - it was great to have him around to hang with the boys while I got ready with my girls. Overall, 10/10 - I'd recommend Rincon Images to anyone and everyone.

    Our wedding was on Sandy Beach in Puerto Rico. Greg was an outstanding photographer with amazing ideas! We had so much fun with him! We would highly recommend him for a photographer! We couldn't be happier with our photos and we thank him so much for the great memories we will always get to enjoy through our lifetime together! He is literally the best photographer we have ever had and would definitely use him again when we get the chance!

    Thank you again!

    Rincon Images was recommended to us by Wilson at 8th and Ocean and once I saw their portfolio I was blown away. Frances and Greg were so great to work with, it felt effortless, easy and fun. The photo's we saw so far are amazing! We couldn't have asked for anything more.

    Frances and Greg are outstanding! We had a private elopement ceremony at the Royal Isabela in PR. I kept wondering how the pics would turn out because she was so unobtrusive and relaxed--how could she get good shots? She's an artist! She captured me, my husband, and daughter perfectly. She's especially gifted at lighting. I wish we could fly her back to the States to take pictures of our wedding celebration :) Highly recommended.

    We used Frances for two events on a beach in Rincon. The first request was for her to pretend she was playing on the beach with her dog while our friend proposed to his girlfriend. It was PERFECT. She had no idea that Frances was there for her and we now have the most precious pictures of the very tender moments between our friends. She then took the most amazing engagement photos for them. I wish I could give 10 stars for flexibility...for all of the categories actually.
    Then we had her come back the next day to photograph our twins on the beach. She was again so flexible, working around their nap time, and the pictures are so unbelievable. You would NOT go wrong with Frances. No chance.
