My husband and I cannot say enough amazing things about Carlos and his team that captured our 11/4/23 wedding in Brooklyn! Right from the beginning with our engagement photos we knew we chose the perfect photographer to capture the best day of our lives! Carlos is so incredibly talented. We could not be more obsessed with how all our wedding photos came out! If you’re even hesitating think again because you won’t be upset in the slightest when you hire Carlos!!

I’m not exactly sure where to start… I booked Carlos two years before my wedding. As soon as I got engaged I came across his photos on social media. I was drawn to the dramatic look and vibrant colors. His way of capturing action shots also stood out to me. After our initial call I knew he was our guy! It was the best decision, Carlos was always just a phone call away. He was super responsive, worked within our budget and very friendly. It has been 5 days since we got married and we already have highlight photos and the most beautiful 30 second video that brought me to tears. If you are looking for your photographer please book Carlos! It will be the best decision and you will be so happy you read this review! :) trust me!

Hands down, no question, I can say with absolute most confidence that Carlos is the BEST photographer out there. My fiancé and I wanted our wedding pictures to be creative and dramatic, and that is what Carlos delivered, plus more! Carlos is extremely personable and easy going which made us fell comfortable during engagement shoot and even more so for our wedding day. If you’re looking for a wedding photographer look no more and you even hit the jackpot if you’re looking for someone that’s creative and will capture the drama. Carlos is a master at lighting and it shows in all of our pictures! Carlos is not the run of the mill wedding photographers that gets only all the obvious and stereotypically shots. Carlos has an eye and was able to capture moments in such a creative way. 10/10 would recommend. Carlos got to know us as a couple and knew exactly what we were looking for and even delivered more! Also, super fast turn out time. Grateful to have Carlos and Carlo for our big day.

I wish I could put into words how amazing Carlos and his team are. They showed up and I felt no stress whatsoever, even when we were inching on running late. Carlos himself has such a calm presence, even when he is commanding the room. The team he brought was awesome, fun, talented, and it was like watching a ballet seeing them all work together. They knew each other's every move. The photos- omg. They speak for themselves but I love talking about them too. I knew I wanted photos and videos that would last a lifetime, that I could show my kids and gush over when I'm older. I didn't want light and airy photos, I wanted more realistic and showcasing the beautiful fall colors for our November wedding. We had an engagement session included in our package but I wanted to do a second one and he was so accommodating. Getting to know Carlos and work with Carlos was a highlight of my wedding, he is one of those vendors you want to stay friends with after. I can't remember who recommended him to me, but I owe them a huge thank you.

I decided to book Carlos for my wedding this past March 10, 2023 and I DO NOT regret it one bit! In the past, I have always criticized my photos, but shockingly when I received my photos (received fast) I LOVED EVERY photo Carlos took! I was shocked! Carlos and his team make you feel comfortable, secure and relaxed so you can enjoy the process! If you need assistance, he directs you and is so patience while doing so! Both his assistant and himself were so professional, calm and genuinely nice ! They are the best and I would suggest Carlos photographer to anyone who wants to enjoy and feel their best while taking their wedding photos because we did ! Thanks Carlos

If you're looking for a photographer who can capture all the magic and beauty of your special day, look no further than Carlos. From the moment we first met him, we knew we had found someone truly special. Carlos's passion for photography was evident right away, and we were blown away by his portfolio of stunning images.He did our engagement shoot & wedding!To be honest I love my engagement shoot a bit more than the wedding, only cause the location ?!!On the day of our wedding, Carlos arrived early and immediately got to work capturing all the special moments leading up to the ceremony. He had a great eye for detail and was able to capture all the little touches that made our wedding unique. Throughout the day, he was always there, ready to snap a photo of a special moment or offer a word of encouragement.But what really sets Carlos apart is his talent for capturing the emotion of a moment. Looking back at the photos he took, we're transported right back to that magical day, with all the love, joy, and excitement we felt at the time. His photos are not just beautiful, they're full of feeling, and that's what makes them truly unforgettable.We can't recommend Carlos highly enough. He's an incredibly talented photographer, and a truly wonderful person to work with. If you're looking for someone who can capture the essence of your wedding day in all its beauty, look no further than Carlos. Thank you so much for everything, Carlos!!

My husband and I used Carlos Alvarado Photography for our engagement and wedding photos and I wish I was able to say that both occasions were seamless from beginning to end, but unfortunately, we cannot. Our upfront conversations and appointments were optimistic and joyful, but most recent we have been very disappointing.Last winter, we used Carlos for our engagement shoot and everything was honestly amazing. The experience, the location, the photos went all as expected. We were very happy with the results and we were so excited for our wedding.For our actual wedding day, we were sad to not have Carlos himself do our photos, but we had Lilian and Josh and they were both professional, friendly, and such a pleasure to work with. We had an awesome experience with both and truly had not a single complaint to say about our day.Once we received our wedding photos is when we felt like there was a disconnect. We understood in our contract that we had a maximum amount of photos being delivered to us, but we felt some of our most important photos were left out. We did provide a shot list and felt that some of it was not followed. For example; I know I took many photos with my mom but there was not a portrait of my mom and I in my portal. Another example; I know I asked for portraits of my husband and his/my father, my husband and his mother and these shots were not included. There were quite a few missed, which was upsetting. We also felt a large amount of the photos were not edited to the best of Carlos/his team's ability. Majority of my edited portraits have sun or shade across our faces. Some coloring looks off, some night photos seem very dark.When I expressed my feelings about the missing photos to Carlos, I asked about the raw photos. He replied I can purchase the raw photos for an additional $600. Why should we pay a pretty decent additional amount for photos we asked for from the beginning? We would have been happy to give up dancing or guest photos over photos with our own parents.As business owners ourselves, we had a difficult time making the decision to post this review, but we felt we were not given any real solutions to our concerns and it's been upsetting.To be clear, in the end, we did receive what was contractually obliged, however, we are very disappointed with the quality of the work.

My wife and I had Carlos as our photographer for our wedding. What an incredible experience. A few weeks before the wedding, we had spoken to Carlos on the phone. Carlos gave us a great incite on what to expect and what his vision was for getting the shots that were needed, and in a timely fashion.On the day of our wedding, Carlos was on point! As was evident in the photos we received, Carlos took beautiful photos and was a joy to work with. He is professional as well as personable, which made this experience so much more perfect. We couldn't have asked for a better photographer and we look forward to working with Carlos again! Thank you so much for being such an important part of our day!

We used Carlos for our wedding and now my sons baptism this past weekend. He and his team is so wonderful. Friendly, professional, considerate, and always capture the perfect pictures of my family. I would recommend Carlos 1,000 times over and over. He even fixed my veil every 10 min for me on my wedding day. He’s the BEST!

I had my first shoot with Carlos several years ago. I was starting a new chapter in my career and needed professional pics for social media profiles. The results were incredible. More compliments than I could count. Recently came back to Carlos to update my portfolio, as I needed pics for press. Once again, he delivered the goods. He's got a great eye and knows how to make you feel comfortable enough to let your personality come out. And it all shows up in the pics. I'm sure i'll be back again next time I need a refresh.

I have hired Carlos quite a few times professionally and my company loves his work. This is the first time I hired him personally for my wedding and I was completely blown away. I decided to move forward with a minimony and embraced a pandemic wedding. The attention to detail of every photo and moment made me feel like my wedding was on a much bigger scale. I didn't want to think about capturing the moments of our special day and trusted that Carlos would do all perfectly and I'm so glad I did. I didn't set expectations for him and trusted his creative side. The result were photos that were absolutely jaw-dropping. Everyone thought I had the biggest wedding ever when all that were in attendance were 10 immediate family members from my side and my husbands side. I could not pick a favorite photo from all the photos that he took. Afterwards I knew I wanted to order a wedding album with him, but really thought it would be just an ordinary album. Boy was I wrong! This album was AMAZING and beautifully put together. As a matter of fact, I don't allow anyone to touch my album without washing their hands first. :) The quality is beautiful and I'm so happy I trusted Carlos to capture all the beautiful moments of this once in a lifetime celebration. Thank you Carlos!
