What an amazing experience.

I have never felt so comfortable having my picture taken. Oscar really captured the feeling of our day, not just the posed moments.

An amazing photographer, who delivers stunning results.

We chose Oscar to photograph our July 2022 wedding after meeting him via Zoom. He had the most admirable personality, and was curious about us and our relationship, as well as genuinely interested in our outdoor ceremony venue. We knew very early on in the meeting that he would do the best job.

One thing about Oscar- he runs his business like a business. This is a huge plus. He is professional, responds to emails quickly, and communicates precisely what he needs from you.

On the day of the wedding, Oscar and his partner (who was the second photographer/videographer) were so lovely and it was obvious they had studied the venue closely in order to take the photos that so many others would've missed.

They made us feel special and weren't shy about asking what they wanted from us in terms of poses, kisses, etc. This is important for any newlywed couple, but for us (a same sex couple), it was that much more significant.

First looks came the very next day and within 5 weeks we had edits from about 400 photos. We were stunned.

Thank you so much to Oscar and Mena.
Much love, David & Francis

beautiful Baby photos, ็พŽ็พŽๅ“’ ๅฎ่ด็”Ÿๆ—ฅ็…ง็‰‡

If you want to have your babiesโ€™ precious photos, look no further! Oscar and his partner captured the best moments of my daughterโ€™s one-year birthday with his keen eye. They worked amazingly with my little one and they knew how to make my baby laugh. When we saw the photos, my whole family was amazed and satisfied. We are sooo happy to see how the photos were beautifully taken and precious moments were captured. We can not help flip them over and over again! Thank you Oscar

most AMAZING wedding photos!

If you are looking to have the most AMAZING wedding photos, look no further! Oscar and his team captured the best moments of my wedding in a very real and beautiful way. I didnโ€™t know about documentary wedding photography before and Iโ€™m sooo glad thatโ€™s how our wedding was captured. Oscar is always one step ahead, foreseeing special moments. His specialty is documentary wedding photography, but he also accommodated all our requests and posing ideas (and helped us improve them!). Since the very first meeting he listened and understood what we wanted, he was on time and prepared with all his equipment, always super professional. Also, he delivered our photos quickly, we didnโ€™t have to wait for months like most couples I know. I also loved the details, the beautiful USB box, digital invite, website with photos that he built for us, etc. Everything went smooth and easy, one less thing that we had to be stressed about and went perfectly! Thank you Oscar!!!

Documenting to keep your memories alive

Oscar's keen eye captures your memories through the lens of his authentic creativity. He engages professionally and documents different points of view of your 'story.' His final product goes beyond what you could expect. I highly recommend his documentary photography services. You will be amazed, and won't forget your significant life events; they will remain not only in your memories but also in your photos.

Incredible Service and Amazing Pictures

Oscar, Mina, and their assistant photographer Diego were amazing to work with. They were on the ball with planning, response times to questions were exceptionally quick, their work is stunning, and they were fun, kind, and courteous on our big day. Couldn't have asked for a better team.

Beautiful photography by beautiful souls

Words can't accurately express how wonderful of an experience we had working with Oscar and his lovely wife Mena. Oscar's portfolio speaks for itself and the quality of his work initially drew us in. We interviewed a few photographers already, but Oscar had this calm presence which immediately put us at ease. Oscar was professional, organized, funny and friendly. Mena captured some video highlights, and was so friendly and caring. Although they're professionals through and through, it was inspiring to watch this loving team of spouses work together. And it felt perfectly fitting for us to have them capture our big day. From our enagement photos to the big day - all went off without a hitch. We had a few major changes to our venue and location which was stressful, but again Oscar put us at ease and quickly maneuvered to accommodate our change of plans without hesitation. They helped us organize the day's timeline to ensure all required photos were captured. They were meticulous to ensure all important details were captured right down to the little details. Our wedding guests even commented how much they enjoyed having Oscar and Mena as well, noting their friendly demenor and stealthy ways of being in the right place at the right time. We loved our enagement photos, loved the few sneak peaks of the wedding that we reveived the next morning (wow!!), and are eagerly awaiting the rest once they're ready. THANK YOU Oscar & Mena, it was a pleasure!!
