Javier was a pleasure to work with for our destination wedding in Costa Rica! He was creative and thoughtful with his photos, and we received exceptional quality photos in a timely manner. We have received so many requests for copies of his photos from our wedding guests after seeing how they came out!

We loved Javier! He is so genuine and made us feel so at ease and comfortable the entire time. Sometimes he would just ask us questions and take pictures of us telling him a story, and those pictures turned out to be some of my favorites. He makes a real effort to get to know the couples that he shoots so that he can truly capture their love and story in his photos. I’m obsessed with all of our wedding pictures! I would highly recommend Javier for your wedding!

Javier is a true artist- he takes the task of wedding photographer very seriously but also managed to make me laugh and enjoy the whole process. 
From our very first meeting to the last photo snapped at the wedding, Javier made me feel comfortable, beautiful and at ease, knowing we had put the most important job at our wedding into expert hands. 
Javier was professional, open, flexible and kind throughout and helped me and my partner feel at ease and happy.
