Photography By Adolfo

This review is really late but I like to give my input for those other brides struggling with their wedding planning! Adolfo was great the day of the wedding! He brought his son to shoot with him, and at first I was a bit put-​off by having a teenager there, but I think he did a good job too (and at one point had all of us laughing by just doing something SO teenager-​y!). We got all our shots in (and I had a BUNCH) and he made everyone comfortable by joking with them and making them laugh. He didn’t mind when my grandmother hijacked him to basically take some family portraits for her (you’re welcome grandma!) and he was really good at getting my husband to relax and give some genuine smiles. My favorite picture EVER of my husband is one Adolfo took! The reason I’m giving him 4 stars though is because scheduling was a bit difficult and I prefer to communicate by email while he prefers text. Otherwise he did a great job!

I couldn’t have asked more from Photography by Adolfo. From the moment my husband and I met Adolfo we knew he was the man for the job. He was very polite and professional. Wasn’t pushy at all, which is a huge plus when shopping around for a photographer for any event. He showed us a lot of his work from the past and it was exactly what we were looking for. Adolfo isn’t the type of photographer that has you stand in front of a backdrop and just smile. He incorporates the beautiful scenery that is around you and comes up with fun poses. He is very energetic which was great because he kept all of our guests smiling and posing for pictures. He took this amazing group picture of all our guests right after our ceremony. How he got everyone together so fast and got them to stay still for a couple of pictures I don’t know, but the outcome was incredible. He took a ton of candid photos during our wedding day which was amazing to look at two days after our wedding when he got all of our pictures back to us. He worked with our budget big time and he was there for just about the entire wedding day and night. I would definitely recommend Photography by Adolfo to anyone who is looking for a great photographer for any occasion.

We feel very fortunate that we found Adolfo! We wouldn’t trust anyone else with our most special time — our wedding. Adolfo is extremely professional and clearly an expert at his craft!
For our engagement photos, he really understood our personalities. My husband is a rock musician and Adolfo recommended we take photos in Venice. It was just perfect and talk about dedication… Adolfo stopped people in a restaurant to participate in our shots. He had an entire patio of people from a restaurant involved, interacting and yelling… it was awesome! If Adolfo had a vision of a great photo, the man would stop at nothing to fulfill the vision. He actually stopped a woman in an old VW bus to let us use it for the photo. And he even whews the people he stops. They were all so excited to help and be involved. His personality is just infectious, he is so fun and inspired.
For our wedding, he was one of the first people at the venue to make sure he didn’t miss a moment. He really has the energy to be everywhere all at once… he was with me (the bride), my husband, my family, my husband’s family, our friends… I don’t think Adolfo took a break the entire night. He was very creative but also listened to what we wanted. His personality was so important during these photos because sometimes they can drag on but he made everyone laugh. Everyone at my wedding asked me where I found Adolfo and commented on how fantastic he was. We were married over a year ago and every time I speak to my family and friends about my wedding they all talk about how memorable Adolfo was.
The end results are stunning! We would recommend Adolfo to everyone! We would also strongly recommend letting Adolfo take charge and use his creative license. He recommended some things we never would have never thought of and they turned out stunning! The man made us look like rock stars. We took another trip to Venice after the wedding, dressed in our full ensemble… and people thought we were famous! I will never use another photographer for any event, Adolfo our exclusive photographer for every event.

Adolfo was hired to be our wedding photographer, but ended up being almost part of the family. He is extremely good with people, extremely talented at his craft, and overall a wonderful person. We used him for our engagement photos as well. He really goes the extra mile and ensures that he captures everything in breathtaking detail. I would recommend him to any person in need of a professional photographer. His photos are amazing in their clarity, but more important he has a wonderful vision that gives a great perspective to any event. I am fully recommending that you meet this man before deciding on a photographer for any event; you’re going to be glad you did.

So much more than we could have asked for in a photographer! Adolfo is so fun to work with! My husband and I fell in love with him and his work during the engagement shoot and cannot wait to see how great our wedding pictures will turn out!
Adolfo is so personable. He’s fun, he keeps the energy level high, and he takes great pictures. When our venue recommended him to us they told us that he’s the kind of photographer that really loves what he does and that it shows in his work and they couldn’t have been more right.
We didn’t want our pictures to look too cliché and Adolfo really understood what we were looking for. Our engagement shoot was in West Hollywood and, although we had some ideas of what we wanted, Adolfo came with so many of his own that were perfect fits for us! We ended up loving the end results and could not wait to work with him again at the wedding.
We could not believe all the work he put in at the wedding last night! He was there ALLLLLL day with us (from 1:30 to about 11:30) and his energy never went down. He had my nephews (all under the age of 5), who I cannot get to listen to me ever, doing all the poses he needed from them which definitely speaks to his ability to work with even the most difficult subjects!
We had several people comment on how great he was to work with… I even saw people hugging him as he left because they were so excited about having him as a part of our day!
I told my husband today that we need to hurry up and come up with another reason to use a professional photographer ASAP because we definitely know who we are going to call… Adolfo!
