Reviews for Peardon Carrillo Photography
GUEST




Alberto and Lisa were/are fantastic! From the moment we met them, we knew they were the rare mix of talent, professionalism, and fun! They helped us get comfortable in front of the camera (not an easy feat) and I strongly recommend the engagement shoot prior to the wedding day - it helped us out a lot! And it helped them learn more about us and what kind of pics we wanted on the big day and how to work with us to get the best shots. They scouted out the venue in advance and came up with great ideas for angles and locations, as well as incorporating our ideas and suggestions. They kept us laughing and having a good time the entire day. We've only seen a few peeks at their wedding day pics, but we are thrilled with what we have seen. And of course, we have the engagement shots, too, which we love! I recommend Peardon Carrillo to anyone looking for high quality photographers who listen to you and bring great ideas to the table - and are fun to be around all day!!! Thanks Lisa and Berto!!!

These two are EXTREMELY easy to work with and I can't stress that enough. They put you in the position and enviornment to capture the best version of you. Rather than the photos looking like just photos, they are very efficient at truly creating a moment in time that doesn't look posey or artificial. You feel like your with a couple of friends who just happen to be amazing photographers. They make sure to provide you with an easy going vibe while at the same time paying strict attention to the necessary detail required to make your shoot a success. I really couldn't imagine using anyone else.

I cannot say enough positive things about Lisa and Alberto at Peardon Photography!!!! From their creativity to their professionalism and genuine care to make the bride and groom happy (and families in between), this dynamic duo is who you want behind the lens to make your wedding pictures a dream come true!! Their photos are beautiful and they captured so many emotions throughout our entire day!! It brings you right back to the day every time we look through them!
They are extremely patient, flexible and responsive and will aim to accommodate any request.
I've had the privilege of working with them for over a year. They met with me before my wedding several times and after my wedding several times and I so appreciated that they took time out of their busy schedules to meet with me. They are truly genuine people who set themselves apart from the competition!
Thank you Lisa and Alberto!!

Alberto and Lisa completely captured our wedding day. Everytime we look at our photos from our engagement and wedding, we feel as if we are reliving the day all over again. The quality of the pictures is amazing, you can not get amazing pictures like these, which were captured by Lisa and Alberto, anywhere else! From the moment we met Alberto and Lisa, we felt completely comfortable with them. We knew that no one else would sufice in being our photographers than Lisa and Alberto. Alberto and Lisa were there for us always. They were there always for our questions and concerns. They made out engagement shoot amazingly beautiful and fun to do. We had our engagement shoot in Mexico and it was truly a wonderful experience we will never forget. Lisa and Alberto had the best ideas and chose fantastic locations for us to take photos. After a person marries the one they love, all you have is your photographs, and we love them! All this because Alberto and Lisa were our photographers, and that is one decision Juan and I will never regret!

Breathtaking shots, wonderful people: You just don't get better than Lisa and Berto!!
Top 10 reasons why we love Peardon Carrillo Photography:
10) Super Accommodating: They went out of their way to meet us at our convenience, which is great for a busy working couple. They were mindful of what WE wanted, and made efforts to make it happen
9) Talented!: They got the shots, they told our story in pictures, and they made us look good!
8) Great communicators: open and responsive to emails, calls, even text messages!
7) Great planners: they worked with us on the schedule and venue of our big day, to figure out where they needed to be, and how they could set up the photos
6) Creative! It rained a little in the area when we were getting married--from the photos, you can't tell at all! They somehow improvised and worked around mother nature, and we couldn't be happier. Also, from over 1500 photos, we chose more than they originally recommended for the wedding album. Lisa and Berto didn't let us down: they figured out a way to include all the photos, and we just LOVE the album!
5) Warm, and Down to Earth : Lisa and Berto made us feel at ease, but more than just as professionals with their clients. They are just really nice people, and make it fun and comfortable to work with them. Our guests and other vendors commented on how nice they were as well!
4) Dynamic style of photography: they both come with a solid background in Fashion photography, and know how to compose cool shots, and build a story for the viewer. When we had our engagement photos, they walked us through the whole day--and after that we really knew how to work with them on our wedding day
3) Focused and attentive: Lisa and Berto didn't watch the clock, they never rushed us, and the photos turned out great. We didn't ever feel like we were on a schedule.
2) Experienced: the thing about Lisa and Berto, they've been doing this a while, and they are a great team--efficient and effective. They know *what* they have to do, they figure out the *best* way to do it, and they work with the bride and groom to get it done with the best results. When things don't go as planned, they pick up and figure out another way to get those gorgeous photos.
1) Totally Professional: When Lisa and Berto signed on to shoot our engagement and wedding photos, boy, they delivered! They gave us their best effort, and their work did not disappoint. We love our album, we love the engagement shots, and we're just so glad we got the right people to photograph our wedding.
Oh an extra, FINAL reason: You know they love what they do. And when a person loves what they do, they bring passion, energy, and fun. It makes for a great experience, working with these two awesomely talented photographers. They made sure our shots were cool, creative, and what we wanted. Lisa and Berto, we couldn't recommend you two any more!
Another thing they do, which speaks alot to their work ethic: after we shared our wedding plans, they went to the hotel and wedding venue, to scope out the best locations, to make the most of the big day. That alone set them apart from the other ~15 photographers we interviewed. Kudos!

I got married last August and Lisa and Alberto were a big part of it being the best day of my life. I promise you that they are the best photographers you will find. They have what you want at heart and are completely responsive to your vision while also giving you their creative opinion. It was a great collaboration with them always being open to what I had to say. I still haven't stopped getting compliments on my wedding and engagement photos. I've had people say they want a coffee table book of our photos. Lisa and Alberto will put so much effort into giving you the best photos. They took extra days out of their very busy schedule to scout locations for both the wedding and the engagement session. They ensure that the locations they choose are what you want and are what best represents and compliments you as a couple. I would without a doubt say that they came through the most for me out of all my vendors. I was so happy with my photos and will always cherish them. I highly recommend these two. I promise they will give you the most special and beautiful memories of your magical day.

Our experience with Peardon Carrillo could not have been better, and our photos are incredible. Lisa and Alberto bring a tremendous amount of experience, professionalism and creativity to the sessions, and also the ability to make you feel natural, which allowed our photos to be true artwork that also depict who we really are. Our photos are us, and even more so they are one of a kind. After this experience, Peardon Carrillo will be photographing our family for years to come.
GUEST




Alberto and Lisa were an absolute joy to work with. They helped us come up with creative ideas for photos and made sure our personal style was reflected in the shoot. They were very professional and helped put us at ease right from the very first shot. If you need photos for your engagement or wedding give Peardon Carrillo a call. You'll be glad you did!
GUEST




Words cannot describe the quality of their work. Simply beautiful, one of a kind photography. Very impressed by their professional high quality work. They have a great eye for detail and have a unique and creative style. Peardon Carrillo Photography are dedicated, professional people with a pure passion for photography. They care just as much about the final product as you will and do everything they can to make sure you are happy. It was a pleasure and an honor to have Alberto and Lisa shoot these pictures for us. It definitely won't be the last time we use them!
GUEST




All I have to say is WOW. I had the good luck and fortune of having Alberto and Lisa shoot my wedding and engagement photography. I stumbled onto their website while I was planning my wedding, and I immediately loved their photos. Their photography is artistic, romantic and a little edgy. I booked them for my wedding hoping to have pictures as beautiful as the ones they showed me from their portfolio. What they produced far exceeded my expectations. They are true artists and know how to capture the best possible shots and very unique moments. My pictures are fabulous, I honestly did not recognize myself in many of the photos. These are the best pictures that have ever been taken of me in my life. They made my husband and I look amazing, if I do say so myself. I don't know what kind of magic cameras they use, but I kid you not, they will make you look better than you ever imagined. My husband is very camera phobic, and hates to stand to pose for pictures. Lisa and Alberto are very easy going and true professionals, they are very easy to work with and are great at making you feel comfortable. After a few shots, Alberto showed us some of the pics on his camera and we were so amazed. My husband actually warmed up to the camera after seeing the great shots we were getting. I have so many beautiful photos from the wedding and engagement session, now my only problem is deciding which ones to put in the album and display. I have so many beautiful pictures to choose from that it's actually hard to decide...there are too many great photos then I have space on the wall for. I cannot thank them enough for capturing the most important day of my life....and making my husband and I look so good in the process. I will cherish these photos for the rest of my life.
If you are looking for outstanding photographers and amazingly beautiful pictures, then look no more!

Alberto & Lisa from Peardon Carrillo Photography are the MOST amazing and professional wedding photographers you can ask for. They not only love what they do but they make it a point to understand exactly what you want from your pictures. We cannot be happier with both our engagement and our wedding photos. They truly captured my husband and I in so many special moments... as well as the spirit of our wedding. It was a pleasure working with Lisa & Alberto, and we definitely recommend them to everyone. They are OUTSTANDING photographers and the most easy going people you can ever work with. It is extremely difficult to know prior to your special day the ifs ands or buts. With Alberto & Lisa, they are so detailed and talented that the comfort/trust is a given. All a couple can be eager for is the amazing moments they will capture. Thank you Alberto and Lisa! We have moments that we can relive with our kids, grand kids and so forth. :)
GUEST




Best thing is to know what you want because Lisa & Alberto will do it for you!
GUEST




Alberto and Lisa where amazing. Because it is a husband and wife team, I was happily surprised that they would shoot at the same time in differerent angles, not only did we get shots that were aticipated but we got shots that were candid and very unexpectedly warm and real. Also Lisa and Albertos dynamics put my wife and I at ease by working together and guiding us through the shots becuase they where able to relate to us as a couple because they themselves are a couple.
We highly recommed LISA & ALBERTO! Our photographers and now our friends.
GUEST




We had an amazing experience with our photographers. They were professional, affable, understanding, open to ideas, and brought very unique ideas of their own to capture our relationship in unique and traditional ways. Their style is incredibly beautiful, artistic and stand-out and yet with sensitivity to communicating almost three dimensionally the love, respect, friendship and admiration we share for one another in our relationship. The colors and the textures captured were magnificent! Everyone that sees our photos say it's almost like they captured our essence in the middle of an interaction, a capsule of our best moments in time that we get to relive and share every day. Simply stellar work!
GUEST




I don't think I could say enough good things about Lisa and Alberto. Quality of Service: Top notch! Out of all the photographers I chatted with, these two stood out among the crowd in so many ways. First, they come from a fashion photography background, so your pictures will have that dynamic quality about them where they all look like they could be found in the pages of a magazine. Their pictures create a story, and evoke emotion, and because of their commercial background, they can find these compositions, and see these stories effortlessly and translate them in their photography. Secondly, they are INCREDIBLY thorough. They will scout out locations for your shoot ahead of time (or your chosen location), so that on the day of the shoot, they already know where to go, and the best times of day to get the best shots so as to make the shoot go smoothly.(To me, this was very impressive -- no other photographer I had spoken to did this) When they are done taking the photos, they will take a few of their favorites and do their photoshop magic on them to suit the style and mood of your pictures. For us, they immediately posted a few online to give us a taste of what was to come! What I find really special about Alberto and Lisa is that they don't restrict themselves to specific package deals. Most photographers I interviewed charged for a specific number of hours of shooting time on your wedding day, and for a specific number of photos, and charged additionally for each retouched photo. Alberto and Lisa will stay throughout your entire wedding day, provide you with all the best pictures, and will retouch any photograph that inspires them. They treat their photography not just as a business, but with care and passion. To give you another example of their passion and commitment - after they compiled our wedding photos, they weren't satisfied with the types of pictures they had taken of the two of us before the ceremony that they offered to do another shoot with us in our wedding garb for free to try and fill in the gaps!! amazing!!
A third reason I believe Lisa and Alberto can create such quality work is that they work together as a team. This allowed them to get the same shots from multiple angles, and allowed one to take pictures while the other set up impromptu lighting. I also think having a male/female team gives them a more well rounded vision. On top of all this they are great communicators. They were able to direct my fiance and I well enough to get some natural, and pleasing poses. They are fun to be around, and made us feel very comfortable in front of the camera. We had so much fun doing our engagement shoot!
On the topic of responsiveness: Alberto and Lisa were incredible. I went onto their website and left them an email requesting their rates and availability for our wedding day, and I received a call from Alberto within hours. We chatted for over an hour (he's so friendly and funny!) and scheduled a time to meet in person so that we could see more of their work and discuss their contract. We talked numerous times before our engagement shoot, and before the wedding day bouncing ideas off of each other, and discussing what we wanted out of the pictures to make sure we were 100% satisfied. They even called after the pictures were posted to follow up and discuss our thoughts and to make sure we were happy with everything.
Alberto and Lisa are very professional and have their craft down to a science. Our shoots went smoothly and efficiently. I was amazed how easy it was to take pictures with them. They take the guess work out of it for the two of you as non-professional models. They'll suggest good poses, adjust your hair and outfits if needed, and make it fun and easy. These guys even brought us waters, and held my purse while we were taking pictures! :)
Value for Cost: these guys are a STEAL! They will make you look like a million bucks and feel like a celebrity. They go above and beyond the call of duty as photographers. They will treat you like you are their only client, and a good friend at the same time. They even picked up our flowers from the florist the day of the wedding and offered to do anything else they could just to make our day go smoothly!! I was truly touched and blown away. These guys are amazing.
I would recommend Alberto and Lisa a hundred times over to anyone looking for a photographer. Hire them! You won't regret it!
Thank you guys for capturing our personalities, our wedding day, and our friends and family with such skill and beauty. We will treasure your pictures forever!!

I would highly recommend Peardon and Carillo Photography. From the first meeting until the end, both Lisa and Alberto have been timely, responsive, professional and most importantly they treat each bride and groom differently. My husband and I are more on the shy side and we felt completely comfortable with Lisa and Alberto. There was a strong sense of commitment and they even went to our rehearsal dinner to meet the family and to see who are the most important people. The pictures were spectacular and they captured every moment.
GUEST




Honestly we couldn't have asked for more. The pictures were awesome and the professionalism of both of Alberto and Lisa were outstanding.
Whenever I have the opportunity to applaud Alberto & Lisa of Peardon Carrillo Photography, I do so gladly. I first met Alberto & Lisa when they (literally!) saved the day for a couple whose original wedding photographer dramatically failed to meet expectations. No only did Alberto & Lisa step into a situation that could have been troubling, they were PHENOMENAL with the couple. And that doesn't even begin to cover how amazing the resulting photographs were. Since that extraordinary introduction, we've had occasion to collaborate numerous times, and every time, their level of professionalism and graciousness leaves the client with a wonderful experience, followed up with the "wow" factor of fantastic images culminating from their innate talents. When recommending event professionals, we proudly feature Peardon Carrillo Photography on the list.
FlorUnique had the opportunity to work with Lisa and Alberto at a recent wedding. We just viewed the photos online and what an amazing job they did!
Their passion for photography as a true art form is clearly visible. The composition, angles and use of light, give meaning to the bridal couple’s special moments and tell the story from preparation to the final moments. Lisa and Alberto was able to capture the love between the bride and groom, the sincerity of the ceremony and all the joyfulness at the reception, in a very special romantic but yet contemporarily way.
If you are looking for create artistic and contemporarily photos to capture your special day, we highly recommend Lisa and Alberto! Check it out for yourself! We are honored to showcase these photos in our portfolio.
Alberto and Lisa are awesome photographers and we highly recommend their services for your wedding! I was immediately impressed with both of them the first time we worked together. Not only were they very professional and patient with the client's specific needs, but unlike a lot of photographers out there, they were both down-to-earth and were so easy to communicate with. This is important because although there are a lot of photographers out there that have a great portfolio, you really want someone that is not only going to produce stunning photos, but also be fun and easy to work with! On top of it, their experience and work speak for itself- they are truly the complete package. Give them a call- you'll be very happy you did!
Lisa and Alberto are amazing!! I am writing this endorsement not as a fellow vendor that has worked an event with them but as a client. My husband and I were looking for a photographer to take our first family pictures in which I had a specific vision. I looked up countless photographers on here, checked out their websites and read review after review until I came across Peardon Carrillo Photography and fell in love with their work! After speaking with them I knew they would be able to capture my vision. They were so easy to work with and so accomodating. I called them last minute trying to book them the very next week which happened to be the day after Thanksgiving and was actually pretty shocked when they said they were available to take the job (on a day when most people would turn work away to sit and relax). They met us at Travel Town in L.A. where we took our pictures and I must say they were awesome with helping our 2 year old feel comfortable and were more than helpful with ideas for poses. They made the "shooting" time go smoothly which is pretty incredible when a 2 year old and a 6 week old baby are involved. We received the pictures in the mail the other day and wow are they amazing! They completely caught our vision on film for us to have forever...I absolutely LOVE our pictures. I posted a few of my favorites on my facebook page and the comments are endless from my family and friends alike saying they are some of the best pictures they have ever seen. Thank you Lisa and Alberto for bringing our vision to life!
A Bride and Groom couldn't ask for a better photography team. Peardon Carillo clearly take their Commerical Ad & Fashion experience and hit it out of the park for couples. Their eye is fine tuned and always provide several "WOW" shots!! They are Dolce's go-to with their timely follow up and attention to detail...they are true seasoned professionals.
Alberto and Lisa are an amazing team. They're able to capture priceless, intimate, real-life moments that impress each and every time. They are professional, classy and creative. I highly recommend Alberto and Lisa to anyone looking for photographers who think outside the box and create a final product above and beyond anything you ever expected.
