Our memories will fade away. Wouldn't be nice to have pictures to help us remember those days? Wouldn't be nice to have images to share with our grandkids? Images that will have a story to be shared. Would you like a professionally done family portrait? Give me a call, I can help you create that piece of family history.

    Comments about Carlos Garcia.


    Mrs. Saavedra from Salinas said:


    “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.”
    “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!!”

    Rebeca from Watsonville said:


    "Just wanted to share my experiences with everyone who treasures pictures as I do. The first time I saw an album done by you, you literally took “my breath away”, it was a big WOW! My first thought was, “this photographer does know what he’s doing”. One day, I finally had the courage to call your studio, or should I say a couple of hours before my daughter’s First Communion. This was the first session you did for us. Our intention was to only take pictures of my daughter. The session ended in a family session, which I really appreciate that it turned to be that way. We now, have GREAT and professional pictures taken by a VERY HIGHLY recommended photographer. And that is you…Carlos. I have to thank you for the session that you just recently did for all my family. The pictures once again are fabulous. Once again you made me cry with these images that forever and ever will be in our homes and in our hearts. I want to share with you and tell you that you took the first family picture of three generations. It will probably be the first and last time that I will be able to get us all together. I will eternally be thankful for this because you made it possible!!! We now have a FAMILY PICTURE! I know you love your job and I think this is the secret to a very successful career as a photographer. I think this is also the key of success for anything that we do in our lives. If we love what we do the result is always good. I very much and truly appreciate your professionalism with my family and me as I am sure this is what has kept you in business. I admire not only your professionalism but that you listen to your clients. You listen to our ideas… and our ideas… with your ideas and your imagination the results are: high quality pictures “master pieces”. You are always on time, you are fast and precise, you have the eye to create great and memorable moments through your eye and lenses. I remember in one of our conversations I told you that this is a gift from God, not everyone has it. You have a unique quality that helps you be what you are: A GREAT, fabulous, professional photographer! Thank you Carlos for those special and unique moments that you have captured with your lenses for all my family for years to come. Thank you and God bless you and your family".

    Anna from Watsonville said:


    "Dear Carlos, I'd like to thank you for the service you provided us at our daughter Erica Quinceañera in November 2011. Both, my daughter and family were very pleased with the photos. I couldn't have asked for better quality. Again, thank you very much. We will definitely recommend you to friends and family. Thank you."

    The Sanchez Family from Fairfield said:


    "Dear Carlos, We wanted to take this opportunity to offer you our sincere appreciation for your excellent service. One year ago, when we were in the beginning stages of planning our daughter’s quince we saw some of your photographs on the Internet and we just knew that we had to see more of your work. We drove several hours to your studio and we were impressed with the quality. We were confident that you would do a fantastic job. Natalie’s Quinceanera photographs are absolutely beautiful. You managed to capture some truly amazing images that simply melt our hearts. She will cherish these memories forever. We were so fortunate to have chosen the right photographer for our special occasion. Everything went as planned on the day of the event, there were no surprises or disappointments. You have always been very patient, responsible and prompt in responding whenever we had any questions or concerns. We will certainly recommend you to all of our friends and family. Thanks again for your excellent service. It was pleasure working with you and we look forward to working with you again in the future."

    Mercy from Sunnyvale said:


    "Dear Carlos: A Few months ago my husband and I decided to get married, so we started the search; in this process we found Carlos García. When we went to his studio to talk more about what we wanted. He dared us to do something different, unusual. He told us about a photo session called "trash the wedding dress" judging by the name of the session we inmediatly implied a challenge coming. Seeing such creative ideas there were no doubts left. We inmediatly decided to hire him...and let me tell you how was his work in just two words ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE!! He is certainly an excellent photographer and human being. he ain't disappoint you! Carlos: You are really amazing. We can't find beyond this words the right ones to express what your job means for us...YOU ARE THE BEST!! Gracias Carlos por hacer que esos momentos tan especiales que vivimos queden plasmados en tan bellas fotografías, sin duda alguna tu trabajo es el mejor!"
