"As an event manager for a nonprofit dedicated to serving youth, I’ve had the pleasure of working with many vendors—but Rafa truly stands out. He has been absolutely phenomenal in capturing the energy, joy, and emotion of our major fundraising events. Beyond his incredible eye for photography, Rafa brings an unmatched level of professionalism, warmth, and charisma to every event. He’s not just a photographer—he’s a part of the celebration.
Rafa’s friendliness makes everyone feel at ease, from shy teens to high-profile donors. He has a remarkable ability to connect with guests and make them feel seen, resulting in photos that are not only beautiful but genuinely authentic. He’s consistently punctual, prepared, and adaptable—no matter the scale or chaos of the event, I can count on Rafa to deliver stunning results without ever needing direction. His presence is always a calm, positive force.
We are so grateful to have Rafa as part of our events. His work doesn’t just document our events—it amplifies the spirit of our mission. I couldn’t recommend him more highly."

"Our experience with Rafa photographing our courthouse wedding was great in the sense we were able to have an awesome friend and positive energy be part of the day, And it was executed better than we could have imagined. Rafa made everyone feel comfortable, and even got the family members who are insecure about their smiles to laugh and show genuine joy. His direction was easy to follow and still allowed everyone to be naturally themselves. The photos are beautiful, and we are so grateful to have had Rafa capture our special day"
