Elmer Escobar

We had the pleasure of working with Elmer on our engagement shoot and the day of wedding photos and he is just so awesome! First of all, what a cool guy. He makes you feel so comfortable it’s like working with your best friend. My hubby and I are both super camera shy but by the end of the shoot we felt like super models, almost. He takes beautiful photos and captures natural moments which we loved. The way he works with light you dont even need to filter or photoshop. He really brings out the best in you. I will definitely be calling Elmer for all of our photography needs in the future. He just ROCKS!

Working with Elmer was a true pleasure. He was highly responsive ever step of the way, always answering and addressing every concern and question I had. He was incredibly creative and came up with excellent ideas to make sure my engagement shoot was personal and unique. On the day of our shoot, my fiancé and I were a little shy. Elmer put us at ease and helped us have so much fun with the experience. He has a truly exceptional eye and is a magnificent talent. I’m so happy with how he captured our special moment and I plan to use him for many years to come!

Elmer was a great photographer! He was a joy to work with and went out of his way to make sure our engagement photo shoot was a success! We wanted to hire him for our wedding but unfortunately he was booked. But I cannot recommend him enough. The photos turned out wonderfully, and he made the entire experience very fun and relaxed. We were very lucky he happened to be in NY and was willing to meet us up in the Hudson Valley for the shoot. Truly willing to go the extra mile for his clients.

We worked with Elmer earlier last week when he was in New York for another event and I had to jump on the opportunity! I knew I was going to get beautiful photos — but I was blown away by the final product! Elmer’s work is done so exceptionally well that other engagement photos in my timeline /​newsfeed seem mediocre compared to mine :) I am so happy the way they came out and hope that he will be available for our Puerto Rico destination wedding in march!!! I highly recommend his service — you will not be disappointed!

I don’t really like taking pictures but I had to get some headshots done for my Co. Elmer made it very easy for and took AMAZING pictures. I have gotten may compliments and my co is going to be using him now to do everyone’s head shot. I was told he is the best in the business and he proved them right!
Thank so much Elmer

I booked Elmer to shoot my wedding this past October, in Mexico. From the day I met with him, I was so confident in my decision, he definitely gave me one less thing to worry about.
Both he and Angelique, who assisted, went above and beyond. They captured every single detail, moment, everything. As a bride, that’s all I wanted. I was so preoccupied, I didn’t even notice the details I personally spent months making — the pictures they took, tell the story of our special day perfectly. I couldn’t be happier!!!
So look no further, Elmer is amazing!

LOOK NO FURTHER IF YOU WANT THE BEST PHOTOGRAPHER! Elmer and his assistant are by far the most profesional and talented photographers that we worked with for our wedding. We had two different engagement sessions before our wedding (with two different photographers) and the quality of the work was night and day. If you plan on only getting married once and are serious about having the best day of your life captured in a beautiful what that you will remember forever then you just found the right photographer. Do not waste time and effort looking to book a photographer becasue of the price (as i sure was) becasue you will ebd up with pictures that you dont even want to share with family.
If you want a unique perspective on photography and beutiful pictures that will leave you amazed then Elmer is your guy. I have seen many fotos of frineds and family of mine who have gotten married in the last year yet none of them come close to the work done by Elmer.
Elmer worked with my wife and myself via email and assured us that everything would turn out well. I was very skeptic having someone i have never met be the main guy shooting the pictures at my wedding however, not only did elmer blow me away wth his work he also made a schedule of how the day should look for us that truly eased things throughout the day. Elmer’s Assistant not only does the photography she is also a fashion designer so having her take pics and helping the groomsmen look sharp was awesome and truly helpful.
Another great thing that Elmer did was ask for the locations in which we decided to take pictures at after the wedding. Once Elmer knew the location he went ahead and reaserched the location and best places to take pictures. Elmer went above and beyond to make sure that we loved our photoshoot and made it extreamly easy for us on our big day. ATTENTION TO DETAIL is what elmer is great at which is key when taking fantastic pictures.
The only regret that we have is that we did not book Elmer for our engagement session becasue we know that those pictures would have looked awesome as well. Dont waste your time online looking for photographers Elmer is the guy that will make your big day one to truly remember. Elmers fotos will be on full display in our home and i guarantee you will do the same if you book him. Good luck and i hope this helps.

Let me simply start by saying WOW! There are no words to explain how amazing and phenomenal Elmer’s work is. Before I go on, if you are in search of the best photographer out there who’s work will just leave you speechless and having you and everyone else in love with the work seriously seriously look no further. Elmer’s work is simply one of a kind and sensational in every aspect to say the least! My name is Beatriz, and I live in Northern California and I got married 3 weeks ago. From the very beginning of my wedding planning I knew that if there was one thing I was going to be very picky about was going to be the
a wedding yes there are so many things to think of and chose from, but at the end of the day everything is going to go by so quick and it is only going to last a day. all you get to keep for the rest of your life are memories, and pictures to remind you and make you relive one of the best days of your life. Anyone can take pictures, but there are very few who make the pictures magical and come to live. hard to describe. Those that leave you speechless and take your breath
about seven months ago while I was in search of a photographer for my wedding, I went to wedding expo’s around my area, searched countless of times online for wedding photographers and I just wasn’t impressed. Don’t get me wrong, they were pretty but just not breath taking, not the pictures that I would want to go through twenty years from
husband would say «They r just pictures and you are not going to find that something that you are looking for, I don’t even know what you are looking for in pictures. You are so picky. You should just pick one, they are all the same.» But knowing me he knew I was’t going to settle with any photographer. So one evening at the gym I decided to search wedding pictures on pintrest. While scrolling down, there was one picture that caught my eye immediately! So I clicked on Elmer Escobar Photography and oh my god! I fell i love with his work instantly! As soon as I saw that Elmer is from Arkansas I got bummed out and was so devastated, I for sure thought he wouldn’t come out here to shoot my wedding, but I called him the next day to ask anyway. Turns out he doesn’t mind going out of his way to travel to capture your wedding. Let me just say this, from the very first time we spoke on the phone to the emails we exchanged regarding the wedding he was very polite, and extremely professional to the max, not only that, he loves working with you to make your wedding dreams come true. You tell him what you are looking for and he makes it happen. He emails you right back, answers all of your questions and he works with you if you have any requests, he also works with you to get a package under your budget. He is definitely a professional photographer who goes above and beyond for the bride and groom. As the day got closer he kept me posted letting me know who was going to be his second shooter, letting me know what time his flight is, the time he will meet with you, not to mention he send me an Itinerary of the whole wedding day, before I made one myself. He is super organized all around, not to mention he flew in from Arkansas the day before the wedding because he didn’t want to cut it close. That day of the wedding he was with us from the moment the whole bridal party was getting ready which was so much fun having him there. He is very easy going, a very sweet genuine individual that makes you feel very comfortable and wants nothing but the best for you. He makes it so much fun to be around. All of his attention and urgency is on you. Right when we all started taking pictures literally all of the groomsmen and bridesmaids were saying that they really liked him, and felt super comfortable around him. as the day passed by he would show us some pictures on his camera and of course everyone was telling me, telling him, or I would hear conversations about how good he was and how amazing the pictures
husband has thanked me more than 5 times for finding him. So many people fell in love with his work and even said that they want him to be their photographer for their wedding. He captures the whole wedding day like a love story, He captures every little detail, every single moment that is worth a million dollars. I got my photos more than a week ago and my husband and I are obsessed with our pictures! I have shown a few of them to some friends and they are all obsessed and in love with his
many things didn’t go as planned the day of my wedding but the only two things that I will never regret and am proud as could be is the man I married and Elmer being my photographer the day of my
words can describe how happy I am with Elmer’s work. He really makes your dream day come true, professional to the max, and the most talented photographer there is out there to say the least. Not only is he our wedding photographer now, but also a very loved family friend of ours.

I wish there was a 10 star button! This review may be a little long but when making such big decisions I highly value reviews and read all of them, even the long ones so I hope this helps people and I hope it gives Elmer more lovely people to photograph and capture special moments for because he’s amazing. And I hope you read my whole review and don’t skip it because it’s long.
There are thousands of photographers but not very many that can take photos that take your breath away or make you feel something when you see them. But Elmer’s photos do that. they are definitely really different from any I’ve seen out there.
My fiancé and I are both very into photography so lets just say we had high standards and were very picky. I searched for months and when I saw Elmer’s photos I knew instantly he was going to be our photographer. No one else compared to him.
From the very first emails we exchanged he was very kind and professional. He was willing to customize a photo package for us and he always paid attention to every detail and answered all my questions. Most of the time when I’m communicating with people they seem to skim emails or not answer everything.
For our engagement shoot he was early and took his own time before to scope things out. He had a way of making you feel at ease and comfortable. It felt like he was a good friend we had known for years. The shoot was amazing. He took his time and even showed us pictures as he took them.
He would give direction when needed but there were also times he would shoot from afar and tell you to just be yourselves and act naturally how you want.
Elmer is truly doing what he was born to do and he’s gifted beyond his years. As he was shooting and switching lenses and lighting, and working with natural light he did it with such ease as if he has been shooting for a really long time. And of course his pictures speak for themselves. I kept saying I can’t believe this guy is not a famous photographer. He’s just a humble kind guy with amazing talent doing what he loves. I’m pretty confident within 5 years he will be doing something big though.
He always paid attention to the details when shooting. like how your arms and legs are positioned or if your shirt or dress needed fixed. Any photographer knows that’s basics but I’ve worked with many and when you get in the moment and you have so many things you’re thinking of it’s easy for the photographer to forget to look for those things. You can have an amazing picture but if your legs are not right and it looks like you only have 1 leg then it ruins it. For Elmer these details were just second nature.
There is so much more to shooting photos and especially for something as big as a wedding you really want someone that has it all and is very creative and personable. And he definitely has a creative eye. He said he’s always trying new things, even if it’s a location he’s shot many times before.
And last comment that I’ll throw in is he showed us pictures as he was taking them which was really cool and he does very little editing if any. And that in my oppinion is one of the biggest tests of how good a photographer is. Sure anyone can edit. You can take a crappy photo and edit the crap out of it and make it look like it’s not even the same photo or location but sorry that’s not photography. I want a photographer not a photoshopper. And someone that can pull off a photo as amazing as Elmer’s without editing is truly a gifted photographer and perhaps a rarity in the world of thousands and thousands of textbook taught photoshopper photographers.
I could rave more about how amazing the photos are but check them out, they speak for themselves. And he captured so beautifully our relationship and love for each other. I even had a friend comment (who’s never met Joe) about how she could feel through the photo how much Joe loves and treasures me.
The whole experience with Elmer has been so good and I can’t wait for him to photograph our wedding. I’ll write another review after that :) I keep looking at our engagement photos and think I can’t believe that is us and that is our photo!
If you made it this far what are you waiting for… go call Elmer and book with him. I promise you will be thankful you did and that you were able to get such an amazing photographer.
