My husband and I recently got married (Feb 19th, 2011). We attended the wedding of my best friend, Michelle, last August 2010 and after seeing her engagement and wedding photos, my then fiancee and I knew instantly that we wanted Miguel and Solana to be our wedding photographers. When we first met with Miguel and Solana they explained everything in detail and were very professional. They presented many different options and also worked with our budget and ideas.
On the day of our engagement session Miguel was very helpful in showing us how we should pose for the pictures and we had so much fun with him! Miguel doesn't hesitate when he is taking pictures. He will do whatever it takes to get a great shot. He even laid down in the middle of the street to take some of our photos!!!
The night before the wedding, Solana called me and discussed with me all of the important details. It was nice to know that they had everything under control. The day of the wedding, Miguel and Solana made everyone feel really comfortable. They were really patient with all our family members, especially the ones wanting to take pictures with their own cameras. : )
Because it was pouring rain on the day of our wedding, Miguel was super nice and offered to do an extra photo shoot for us a couple of days later. It was great because we were able to take photos outdoors, which we wouldn't have had the chance to take on our wedding day because of the rain. We are so happy with our engagement and wedding pictures. Miguel and Solana are the best!!!

Where do I begin? Miguel along with his wife Solana are the best team you could hire to photograph your special events!! My husband and I hired Miguel for both our engagement and our wedding photos and we couldn't be happier with the results! The day of our engagement session Murphy's Law was in full effect. Everything that could go wrong did! Horrendous traffic on the fwy making me late to the appointment, forgot accessories to my wardrobe, bad weather, etc. It even started to lightweight sprinkle on us and I was wearing a sundress! I was getting so sad thinking about how our beachside pictures would not turn out good because of the bad weather but the whole time Miguel kept reassuring me that they would get the shots that I was looking for. Miguel had so many great background ideas and poses. When we received the Engagement photos my husband (fiancé at the time) and I were blown away!! You couldn't tell the weather was overcast! The pictures were beautiful!!! We used several in our montage for our reception and we enlarged two on canvas to display at our wedding.
The day of the wedding Miguel was totally on point again! Our wedding pictures were the types of pictures you see in wedding magazines!!! I never imagined that I could have such amazing wedding pictures! I couldn't believe how they came out! Miguel takes so many pictures so you have several styles or positions to choose from. My husband and I had so much fun looking through our wedding pictures!! We can't wait to display our pictures in our new home! Everyone that I have shared the pictures with are blown away! They think I must have paid a fortune to hire Miguel but not so! Miguel was very affordable and willing to work with our budget! We are soo grateful to have been referred to Miguel! We look forward to hiring him again for our other projects and events and we highly recommend him to everyone!!! If you are debating which photographer to use LOOK NO FURTHER trust me when I say Miguel is what you are looking for!

Miguel is an amazing photographer and will do just about anything to get the perfect shot! One of my favorite pictures from our engagement session was taken from a tree he climbed! He has a great eye for pictures and sees beauty where the rest of us may not have imagined it! I absolutely LOVE all of my pictures and I got them back in record time!! I would highly recommend Miguel! He has a love for his job and an enthusiasm that is contagious! I don’t normally like having my picture taken but Miguel made me feel so comfortable and took some amazing shots along the way! He gave us so many ideas and worked with us on pictures we really wanted to have. I can’t say enough good things about Miguel! All of my friends and family who have seen his work are amazed at how beautiful all of my pictures turned out! I would hire him again in a heart beat!
When I was first told by my soon to be Mother-in-Law that she was organizing an engagement photo session for us, I really didn't know what to expect, aside from maybe my Fiance and I wearing matching turtlenecks and doing some cheesy poses. Miguel seemed to have more of a modern take on our engagement session photo shoot - of course we didn't have anything specific in mind for the shoot. We were open to whatever he had in mind for us - afterall he is the expert. Miguel was very creative and found great spots all over Venice to shoot us. Miguel and his wife Solana, made us feel comfortable immediately, and were wonderful about giving us direction - since neither of us are models and have never done anything like a photo shoot before. My fiance Jared and I don't consider ourselves to be photogenic - especially our profiles...But Miguel worked his magic and even our profile shots look great! The finished product of the photos with just the right amount of retouching and color correction are stunning! I'm SO glad that finally my Fiance and I have some great photos of us together! Miguel and Solana made the experience so much fun and we can't wait to have them shoot our wedding photos next year!

We booked Miguel after we saw pictures from a friend of a friend's wedding that he shot….we were very impressed with the pictures! When we first met him we were blown away by his personality, he made us feel like we’d known him for years. Not only does Miguel make everyone feel comfortable and at easy he is a very talented photographer! He is a hard worker and will do almost anything to get the perfect shot ;-) He captured our day so beautifully and made everyone feel at ease around the camera, he is an absolute pleasure to work with. Can't wait to hire him again for another special moment! Thank you for all the amazing photos....you ROCK!

I cannot say enough good things about Miguel and Solana, they make a great team! They were so professional and fun to work with at the wedding, my guests were commenting on how cool they were! Our pictures turned out so beautiful!! I also highly recommend the fun photo booth, it was the hit of the party. Thank you Miguel and Solana!
Professional, Affordable, High Quality, Easy going, The Family approves :) What comes to mind Miguel Torres... I met Miguel when my sister was planning her wedding. Miguel was outgoing, energetic and full of life. I really liked Miguel's work and the work he did on my sister's engagement and wedding. I went ahead and hired him for my engagement session which turned out superb and my wedding. Miguel caught all the memorable moments during the event. He was everywhere; I was impressed by all his shots. He was really accommodating and didn't mind all the other cameras flashing away; Miguel still managed to get the "picture perfect shot." Thank you Miguel for all your hard work and can do attitude. Highly, highly recommend him. :)
Hands down the most incredible pictures I have ever laid my eyes on. Miguel was easy to work with, energetic, and told us exactly what he was looking for. The photoshoot was easy and he was direct and exact with his words and ideas on where we should be at any given moment. Super professional and you really can tell that this man loves his job. It was not Miguel's first rodeo, that I could tell right from the start!
Great photographer, friendly, and amazingly creative! Thanks Miguel and Solana!
Miguel and his staff are the ultimate in professional. Due to short timing we were not able to meet with Miguel before our wedding however we could sense we were in good hands. Miguel and his assistant arrived on time and took amazing photos. To say we love our wedding photos would be an understatement. The photos are unique and artistic, no canned poses or arrangements. Since our wedding many of our friends have hired Miguel for their wedding and family photos.
Miguel of Miguel Torres Weddings Photography was an absolute delight to work with. He is such a super sweet guy and is so talented and creative! I am so blessed that we were referred to him and we wouldn't have wanted anybody else to shoot our Wedding. My fiance and I met with many other photographers during the wedding planning process and they all told us how much they were going to do for us and offered several different services, etc. But once we met Miguel in person, we knew right away that he was "the one." You should have seen him on our Wedding day, he was everywhere..all the time, photographing every momentous moment. Our pictures are beautiful and I am so grateful that we chose Miguel as our Photographer because he truly understands the beauty of expressing love through his photos. Miguel is so genuine and absolutely LOVES what he does and his passion for photography and capturing all the "special moments" shines through his work. I highly recommend Miguel of Miguel Torres Weddings to be your Wedding Photographer -- you won't be disappointed. He is the best of the best!
