Raves – Thanks Mrs.Saavedra

Sunday, January 22, 2012 Posted in Raves

“My future husband and I were not going to compromise our wedding photographs with just anyone. So, we began our tireless search for that perfect photographer. After much time passed we were disappointed that we would possibly be without any photos of our special day. It was so important because we needed to capture those once in a lifetime moments with our loved ones, especially my mom who was facing a battle with cancer. Finally, someone recommended Carlos Garcia, not knowing much we took a chance and meet with him! Carlos offered us so much insight and was very upfront and honest with us. We had only met him once and he had quickly gained our trust in him and confidence in his work. We were so ecstatic to have finally found our photographer. With only a few months before our wedding we never expected to have an engagement session. But, sure enough Carlos made it happen! He made us feel very comfortable with having our pictures taken, which we had never done before! Carlos paid attention to every detail to make certain he captured the perfect shots. He has great passion for his work and it translates so well! On our wedding day he was so focused and made us feel like naturals. I also have to say that he went over and beyond for us with any request that we had. Little did we realize that he had taken past wedding photos of a total of five couples from our wedding guests. It was such a beautiful day with beautiful moments which we are able to re live each time we see our wedding photos.”
Romantic Weddings at San Juan Bautista Mission“Some even more precious since my mother sadly past two months after we married. That was one of the last times we gathered to celebrate and my mom was so proud and happy. What a blessing it is to be able to look at our album and remember all the love we shared, and see her smiling is the best! That day was so perfect, and will forever be in our hearts. As will you Carlos because you made it possible to be able to hold on to them always and we will forever be grateful. That day we met you we didn’t only hire a master photographer, but made a great friend in you as well. I highly recommend Carlos Garcia to anyone and will look forward to working with him again in the future. Thank you Carlos! May you and your family be blessed in the new year and always!!”

Trash The Dress – Espera lo inesperado

Thursday, January 12, 2012 Posted in Trash the Wedding Dress

LOVE | EXCITEMENT | HAPPINESS – {15% OFF de su Trash The Dress Album | Enero y Febrero solamente}

Hoy quise hacer algo diferente con estas imagenes de hace unos años. Es la sesión de Brenda y Sam de San Jose, California. Mi lema para la sesión del “Trash The Dress” es, “espera lo inesperado.”

En las platicas que tuvimos les comente la idea de realizar un “TrAsh-ThE-DrEss” después de la boda. Ellos con gusto aceptaron.
El domingo, un dia después de la boda nos citamos en mi estudio y recorrimos varias locaciones, Brenda y Sam son una pareja joven, increíbles…confiaron en mi talento para realizar estas imágenes que complementaran el álbum de boda.

Para realizar un “TrAsh-ThE-DrEss” es que usted se decida a recibir algo diferente, algo que ni sus papas, ni su amiga o vecina tiene en su álbum de boda.

Es mas, si usted quiere hacer un “TrAsh-ThE-DrEss”, podemos hacerlo. No tengo que haber sido yo el fotógrafo de su boda. Aun que hayan pasado meses o un par de años, aun podemos hacer esta sesión del “TrAsh-ThE-DrEss”.

Para mas información, contacte a Carlos Garcia Photography and Video al 831.724.8156 o visítenos en el 11 East Lake Ave. Watsonville, Ca 95076
