Cristian was very responsive over messages and gave us good direction while taking pictures. We absolutely loved the gallery. -Anisa

We took a family vacation to Puerto Vallarta and to commemorate the trip, we hired Cristian to capture family photos! We hadn’t gotten professional photos taken in over 8 years! Cristian made everyone feel super relaxed and comfortable. He gave the perfect blend of direction and letting everyone do what felt natural. He was super attentive and timely, and was easy to communicate with once we were in PV. I would highly recommend Cristian to help capture your vacation memories! -Haley

We absolutely LOVED our pictures! Cristian delivered the best family candid/and portrait shots I could have imagined.

I asked for them to be beachy airy/light/breezy and he delivered! Our vacation at PV was beautifully captured in the shots.

Cristian was so warm and gentle that my toddler automatically felt at ease. My toddler also happened to catch a cold the day of our shoot, and Cristian somehow managed to capture her in the best light, you wouldn’t even think she had a cold.

Thank you SO much -Azadeh

Cristian was fantastic to work with! He was great at communicating, punctual and so patient!

Our pictures turned out amazing. Highly recommend Cristian. -Ashley

Hi Cristian, Thank you so much for all of the lovely photos! You managed to capture all of our giant crazy family and get so many "frame-able" images :). Exactly what I wanted! You were so kind and easy to work with and made the process so simple! Thank you!! -Ashley

Cristian was very professional and fun to work with. Would recommend! -Jennifer

Cristian was really great to work with! He gave us a lot of direction to get the best shots and they turned out very well.

We will treasure the wonderful memories of our beach vacation captured by Cristian! -Rachel

So thankful that Cristian so beautifully captured this moment in time for our little family. We had a great time and are really happy with the outcome. -Chandni

We had a Family Photoshoot in Bucerias to capture memories of our family reunion! It was wonderful! Cristian did a fantastic job keeping our large extended family group moving between shots. He was professional and kind and helped make the whole experience seamless and comfortable. -Erika

My fiancé and I took these photos for our save the date we’re suppose to get engaged here last year but due to covid we canceled our trip! It was well worth the wait The photos are beautiful and our photographer Christian did everything he could to make this a wonderful experience even before the shoot he was so helpful and accommodating. I can not say enough good things about Christian he really went over and beyond to get the shot he wanted. -Raven

We went on an extended family vacation in PV. We wanted to get professional photos of the whole group (12 people). We felt a little hesitant about trying to book a session until we found local lense! The whole process was so easy and professional. Our photographer, Christian, was amazing!! He met us at our condo and walked to the beach with us. The beach was busy but he was able to get amazing shots. He posed us very well and was open to doing whatever we wanted! He worked quickly and effectively. His English is great and we got amazing photos! We are so glad we went with him for our photos! -Mallory

The shoot went great! Cristian got some amazing pictures even though it was raining on and off. I'm happy with results. -Karthik

We didn't do anything to prepare for this photoshoot besides packing some coordinating outfits and quickly booking through Local Lens. Cristian met us at sunset at our resort's beach, and was so amazing to work with! You could tell right off the bat that he knew what he was doing, and his photos still managed to exceed our expectations. The beach was gorgeous but we were blown away by how it all looked in his photos! -Rukaya

After spending the pandemic apart, we traveled as a family to Vallarta and wanted something memorable. We are a BIG family - over 20 people, including a grandma and two babies. Cristian was amazing! He accommodated to all our requests and made sure we got group photos, nuclear family photos, couples, cousins, brothers, etc. within the 90 minute time frame. We are really glad we did this. -Diana

For our maternity shoot! The photo shoot was amazing and so much fun. Our photographer Cristian was the absolute best. -Jessica

We wanted to have memories from a great trip - we have too many selfie-only style pics from traveling together over the years and wanted better photos to capture the moment! Cristian did an amazing job capturing us on our honeymoon! He made us feel comfortable taking photos (easier said than done for a couple of lens-shy engineers), and we love so many of them. He had a great idea of several different places shoot, so the whole process went smoothly and efficiently - so many different scenes/poses, we got a wide variety that we really felt like captured the city and our trip. It was an absolute pleasure working with Cristian! -Amy

Maternity + family photo shoot by the beach. I was initially nervous about doing it since it’s my first time booking a photoshoot away from home. Christian was perfect, he was the sweetest, most informative, and most communicative photographer. So I chose him. He did everything he could to ease my fears and was very accommodating. Even better still, the photoshoot itself was so much fun. It was like he wasn’t there. There was the right amount of direction given vs free flow. We loved the entire photo package, I would recommend him to anyone who wants a fuss-free amazing experience. -Joanna

For the bachelorette party! It was sooo incredibly fun! Way more fun then I thought I could have on a photoshoot! Christian was exceptional, sooo easy going, funny, and his photos were uploaded promptly and turned out amazing! -Shelby

We are getting married next year and decided it would be nice to get professional photos done as a couple. We had planned to go to Puerto Vallarta for vacation and decided that it might be nice to take professional couple photos that we can use for "save the date". We decided to pick Cristian because we liked the type of photos he takes and the final product. He was in constant contact with us before our appointment and gave us recommendations on the best time to take the photos and also the locations. He was very patient and help guide us throughout the whole process. He was very easygoing and was open to any ideas that we might have for photos. He also turned around the photos very quickly. Highly recommend. -James

The pandemic has made us realize that every moment with family counts. We need to capture these precious memories. Our Family of 13 finally vacationed again after over 2 years of not being able to travel together. We decided to do a photoshoot as our family activity for this trip. It was awesome! Our photographer, Cristian, was amazing! He captured such beautiful photos! -Cecile

We booked a shoot because we wanted some memories in a great location. It was great, cristian was on time, fun and so caring towards my kids and family. He posed us, snapped pictures when we weren’t looking, and made it 100% stress-free. He was also a great communicator! -Kylie

My girlfriend and I blended our families and wanted to capture our new family in professional photos.
I was hesitant to pick a photographer online. I wasn't overly confident that I would get what I was about to pay for. After researching Local Lens, I felt more at ease as I was able to read reviews and view the photographer's work. We Chose Cristian, and we were so happy we did. He welcomed us over email and shared his contact information so we could make plans prior to our photoshoot. We communicated through WhatsApp over WiFi while in Puerto Vallarta, eliminating costly roaming charges. This was so great, as I was able to inform Cristian that I would be proposing in front of our children while on the beach. We met in our hotel lobby, and Cristian immediately took over. He suggested capturing both posed and candid pictures at many different locations on the resort, before hitting the beach. Cristian read the room if you will and adapted to our family's needs. Cristian captured our entire family in moments that we could only dream of, including an amazing proposal (she said yes by the way). Thank you, Cristian! PS. TIP YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER!! -Jordan

Thank you, Cristian! Our family photo shoot of 14 last week was wonderful! Your photos are so fun and captured our enthusiasm as a family on a long-awaited family reunion. You took the time to listen to us and get to know what we wanted. You were efficient with time, which is important with little ones, and staying neat and tidy, too. The quality of pics really captured each person’s style and personality. Your cost is reasonable, and we can’t wait to see the finished product! Thank you again! -Kathleen

Cristian is very professional and knowledgeable. He was great at communicating with us and was flexible to accommodate our needs. He understood the vision we had for our pictures and provided the place and direction to make it happen. We love our pictures and are very pleased with the experience. Highly recommend him! -Gaby

Absolutely stunning to say the least! Cristian did an amazing job and captured exactly the idea I had in my head! Wonderfully perfect, and I could not say enough good things! He was so great with my baby too I felt super comfortable the whole time! -Alaina

Our family wanted a photographer to take pictures of us while we were all together at a family reunion. Cristian was helpful and flexible, kept his cool photographing a group of over 30 people (half of whole were children), and delivered a gallery of beautiful pictures! I would HIGHLY recommend. Thank you, Cristian! -McKenzie

Cristian was amazing! He was super helpful with planning a surprise engagement photoshoot. He knew the area well and was very communicative with ideas on where to meet. He was flexible with plans, nice, and obviously took great photos. He did a fantastic job of being there for the moment and being able to capture the surprise. The photoshoot after came out with wonderful pictures and he was very helpful in guiding us for posing. I would give him 10/10! -Eric

I enjoyed having Cristian take our family pictures in Puerto Vallarta. This was my first time using Local Lens. It was very simple to set up. I had extra questions for Cristin pair to the shoot, and he was very prompt to answer them. He is professional and accommodating. I love the final edited pictures. I would recommend Local Lens and would definitely recommend Cristian! -Teri

Cristian was an absolute gem! From the moment we met him, his professionalism and friendly demeanor put us all at ease. He managed our group of 8 in the heat with such grace and patience. He effortlessly organized a lot of different shots and outfit changes, making sure everyone felt comfortable and looked their best.

The photos exceeded all our expectations—they captured the spirit of our time together, and we couldn't be happier with how they turned out. Plus, Cristian got them back to us so quickly! We were thrilled to see our team retreat so beautifully captured. If you're looking for a talented, attentive, and efficient photographer, Cristian is your guy. Highly recommend! -Teresa

Christian was absolutely amazing. We had scheduled a photoshoot on the beach to celebrate our 10 year wedding anniversary and the forecast had rain for our original date. He was so accommodating and rescheduled so that we could ensure clear skies. He gave us such great direction and we had a blast on the shoot. He was so kind and got us our photos that same evening. We love the pictures and are so grateful! -Samantha
