I hold Ivan as one of the top photographers I have ever worked with.

“Event planning has countless moving pieces and Ivan is one of those pieces I never have to worry about. He’s the best photographer I’ve had the pleasure of working with. He has the ability to take limited direction and run with it to create stunning photos that capture the moments perfectly. He captures even the smallest, yet very important, details – things I never had time to stop and observe during a busy grand opening of a restaurant. And somehow he manages to do it all within the natural flow of the event, without interrupting a thing. I barely notice he’s there! That takes immense talent and professionalism.”

— Ashley Davidson, Senior Director, Media & Industry Relations, Fish Consulting

I got my digital photos immediately and absolutely love them!"

“Ivan is the best of the best in the Miami photography industry. He's extremely knowledgable about his field, so friendly and willing to answer any questions and guide you through each step of documenting your special day. He is extremely responsive; when I first inquired as to his services via his website late one night, he called me early the very next afternoon to book our meeting. For his expertise, he is extremely flexible in his timing and pricing and will work to get you the very best for your budget, like he did for my husband and I. We were so pleased and ecstatic with our final photos and the flawless album he put together for us. I would truly trust no one else with photographing such an important day. We look forward to being return costumes when the time comes for maternity photos. Trust Ivan! You can't go wrong!”

— Vanessa Oviedo, Bride

“Ivan is amazing. Very professional and creative. Loved how he captured all our special moments from the engagement to the wedding. I would recommend using him in a heartbeat!”

— Dayanna Ramirez, Bride

“There are no words to describe Ivan but awesome. He more than a photographer he is a friend. From the first time you meet him you will not be disappointed. He is a visionary. His work will leave you breathless. I am so glad we met him and I urge all future brides and grooms to use him for not only your wedding but also your engagement photos. You will not be disappointed. Thank you Ivan for everything.”

— Cynthia Palanquet Taylor, Bride

“Our photos are nothing short of amazing. Other photographers have set cliche places where they take photos of ALL of their clients. Not this photographer. Ivan takes your personality and vision into account to give you exactly what you want. He is a true artist. The knotty bride even featured our photos on her blog. Everyone has been extremely impressed with our photos, and we absolutely love them. Thanks, Ivan!”

— Katie Villalobos, Bride

“This was one of the easiest decision we made for the wedding, my fiance fell in love with him and so did I! He's so down to earth you feel relaxed when he's around. He's so flexible and his work is outstanding - it really speaks for itself. We wanted something fresh and young, because we're young and we got exactly what we wanted. Final images pending, I did get to see shots on his camera through out the night and I was amazed. He's really the best of the best and I cannot be happier with him!!
Our engagement sessions were more than I ever could have imagined, it was really a wonderful experience.”

— Tiffany Michelle, Bride

“I wouldn't say that I chose to have Ivan photograph our wedding. Rather, we met him and I decided I NEEDED him there. It was reassuring to feel that I could trust him completely in regards to our photographs. Our package included two engagement sessions, something I didn't think we needed, but am now so glad we did. The engagement sessions provide you two an opportunity to get used to Ivan, and vice versa. I'd recommend them to anybody. I've already had an opportunity to view some of our wedding day photos (Ivan blogs all weddings and sessions within a few weeks), and I cant wait to see the rest of them. They came out beautifully, and I'm so happy I'll have these photos to cherish forever.”

— Kim Astacio-Murphy, Bride

“Ivan's work is absolutely beautiful! He is a great person to work with and definitely knows what he is doing! I have not seen the final product for my wedding, but if it is anything like our engagement photos, I know they will be beautiful! Our photo book we made from our engagement session was used as our guest album and it was great! It was a hit with our guests and we now have it to keep forever.”

— Amy Vaspasiano, Bride

“Ivan is exceptional! Our weddings photos are stunning, better than I could have ever thought. We had a tight budget for photography, but he worked with us anyways and was so generous with his time and talent. I felt like he was just as involved with the planning as our wedding planner! We were always talking about venues and picture ideas, and his input really helped shape our day. He even spent a few hours with us and our wedding planner at our "pre-wedding meeting" to make sure that our schedule for the day allowed us enough time to get the best pictures.
In addition to being a talented photographer, Ivan is also a wonderful person- definitely the kind of person that you want with you the day of your wedding. He did us so many favors along the way, and this made us feel like our wedding was really important to him (even though he does tons of them!) Thanks Ivan! Edit- I have to add one more thing to my review. It's been a few weeks since we first saw our wedding pictures on Ivan's blog, and everyday my husband and I still look through them with the same excitement we had when we saw the pictures for the first time. Ivan captured our emotions very well, and I feel like I'm right back in that moment when i look at the photos. What more could a bride want?!”

— Stephanie Bacik Adamczak, Bride

Ivan did a nice job with my headshots. He showed up to my house on time and set everything up quickly. He advised me on what to wear, and we got thru the photo shoot very efficiently. That same day he sent me the proofs and asked me to choose 3 for him to touch up. And the very next day he sent me 4 touched up photos. Very happy with the process and with the photos.
