Great photo excusion - We had a great outing. The photographer was very friendly, professional and easy to work with. The photo shoot went well with good locations and we received a lot of pointers about posing. We haven’t received our final prints but the pics on the back of his camera looked great we had a great experience and would definitely do this again

Honeymoon Photos - We took photos around Old San Juan, hands down one of the best photo experiences me and my husband had! Emma was amazing, he was very professional and knowledgeable as to why certain spots capture the best photos. We didn't know what to expect because 1. We are NOT photogenic and 2. The heat wave was occurring, but even with those worries, Emma made the experience memorable. We were not great models, but Emma provided tips and demonstrations for us to feel comfortable and squeeze in some laughs in between sessions. With the heat, as women we get worried that our makeup will drip, pour sweat, or even worse our hair frizzes with the humidity, but once again as the professional that Emma is he made sure to find the perfect spots for shade and stay hydrated. I would recommend bringing water for sure to stay cool. It was a great feeling after the tour for my HUSBAND to say, “Wow that was fun, I enjoyed that”. In that moment I knew Emma provided us with a memory we will forever cherish. Once again thank you Emma for your patience and hospitality, we will be seeing you SOON.

GREAT EXPERIENCE - The photographer was excellent and so patient. I did this for my daughter high school graduation present. This was definitely out of her comfort zone but he made her feel like a princess. Book this for sure.
