Sacramento Wedding Photographer | El Dorado Hills, Granite Bay, Roseville, Auburn, Bay Area, San Francisco, Tahoe, Napa

A testimonial from my friends Nallely & Erick

“We were planning a wedding and we were looking for a photographer who:

• Spoke English and Spanish
• Whose photographs were of the highest quality
• Had reasonable prices

We had the opportunity to meet Carlos Valentino at the Dream Wedding Show at Cal Expo. We entered and won a free engagement photo session and we had a meeting concerning the packages they offer. On that day we were convinced that Carlos and his wife really loved what they did. In no moment did we feel pressured by them and they were willing to listen to what we wanted for our wedding. We always had the dream of having two weddings. The first would be a civil wedding near the sea and the second in the Cathedral. At the meeting we explained our dual wedding intentions and Carlos gave us good ideas on how it could be possible. He suggested we go out and shoot the engagement session to see how we felt working with him; we agreed. We told him how we had our first date at Inn & Out and he said that we should begin our session there. Then he took us to other places were great for perfect photos. It was fun and wonderful and our pictures came out fantastic and he made us feel like Hollywood stars.

Since we met we realized that Carlos had the chemistry that other photographers lack. Carlos did not just fulfill the requirements we were looking for as photographer he surpassed it. Carlos Valentino is not just any photographer he loves his job and is passionate about making you happy. It’s not just a special day for the couple but for him also, the evidenced is in his actions.

Our civil wedding was on June 4th in Tiburon, Ca. We were super stressed a few days before that wedding because the plan was to have our ceremony next to the sea but weather forecasts predicted rain for the weekend. We met with Carlos a few days before the wedding and gave us suggestions and the day of the ceremony he bought us 2 big clear umbrellas so that we didn’t get wet. This was a nice touch that another photographer would not do. It was raining heavily on our wedding day and our plans to have the wedding at sea seemed to be going nowhere. I was very stressed and Carlos asked me if he could take over as coordinator, I agreed. He went over to Guayma’s, a restaurant right at the edge of where the ceremony was going to take place, and spoke with the manager. He convinced the manager to allow us to hold our ceremony on the second floor of the restaurant. I believe no other photographer would have done all the work that Carlos did for us, he also photographed our church wedding on October 8th.

Carlos, we are very pleased with all your work and we know that our day was wonderful because of what you did. Honestly, I feel blessed to have known a photographer who really loves his work. Carlos Valentino is a photographer who gives himself to his profession. I really recommend Carlos Valentino for your special day. Thank you Carlos for all your efforts to make our wedding very memorable! “
