Get Started
First time user of Local Lens, but a vouch for this service and a huge shoutout to Raul, our photographer.

We hadn’t done a shoot since our wedding - he was awesome! Made us comfortable, was prepared, and got us the shots we needed. Thanks Raul!!!-MikeView Photographer profile
Estamos encantados con la Local Lens y en espeial con nuestra fotógrafa Claudia. Desde el primer momento en que nos contactamos todo fue muy fluido y sencillo; Claudia me ayudó a organizar un momento único para la propuesta de matrimonio que quería. Estuvo atenta desde el primer momento, tomó unas fotografías espectaculares y nos llevó a locaciones donde esa magia se dió. Sencillamente encantados.-JoseView Photographer profile
I selected Orlando using Local Lens to photograph our surprise engagement and he captured our special moment beautifully. We were traveling to Barcelona from the United States and I was very nervous about planning an engagement at a location I had never been to before.

Orlando literally made it all happen! We connected in the weeks leading up to our trip and planned the time, meeting point, and vision. Upon arriving, I could see Orlando and he made sure my fiance did not notice him, pulling off the perfect surprise engagement. Orlando captured the entire proposal with beautiful angles, perfectly capturing our happiness and backdrop.

After the engagement, I would definitely recommend reserving time with the photographer as we had a full hour with Orlando. He had great ideas and was able to shoo away tourists and get the perfect shots. I H...-AndreiView Photographer profile
Kristo was amazing. Very professional and meticulous for the important shots.

Furthermore, he played a huge role in my surprise proposal but pretending to be a an ordinary tourist who was able to capture the moment naturally.-JakeView Photographer profile
I’ve used other travel photography services but was beyond impressed with the professionalism, quality and turnaround times of Local Lens. Gaylin was helpful in suggesting lots of different locations around the island for us to take photos and even ended up driving to meet us on the South side the morning of our shoot when she realized the weather wasn’t ideal on the North side where we had originally planned to shoot. I couldn’t believe we had fully edited photos back within 24 hours, and I am really happy with how they turned out! Will definitely be booking again!-VanessaView Photographer profile
Silvia gave us such a gift by shooting our surprise engagement photos in Venice! I knew I wanted to propose to my girlfriend Faith during our Italian vacation, and when I reached out on Local Lens, Silvia provided several excellent suggestions on locations and ideal times (sunset, golden hour, etc.) during our stay in Venice.

After reviewing her suggestions for gondolas, bridges, and canal locations, I settled on a perfect bridge that she suggested, which was outside the main tourist district. It was the perfect location for Silvia to covertly capture our special moment as it happened (and Faith even said yes ;D).

After the proposal, we hopped in a gondola with Silvia for some additional photos, and at my request, she even brought along a bottle of bubbly for us to have a toast while cruising on the canal (with Silvia there to capture i...-JoeView Photographer profile
Proposed to my fiancé during photos. Such a great photographer! Highly recommended.

Local lens was easy and quick. They turned a hard and difficult task into something magical.

He really takes the time to understand his lighting and environment and has a great sense of design. Amazing experience and beautiful photos for my fiancé and my engagement session.-EliView Photographer profile
Bruna and her partner (I believe Nicola, sorry if I'm wrong!) were the most amazing couple to work with. We had such a breathtaking experience with them, from start to finish. My proposal was on Sat 18th Jan 2025, where the weather in Lake Garda is very questionable.

Both Bruna and her partner remained super flexible, making suggestions on different locations, and even moved the day to only 24 hours to go so that we could have the most amazing sunset ever (and avoid the rain), and it was the best decision. It would not have been possible without their kind, considerate, and detailed approach.

The setting was beautiful - although I selected the location, they truly captured the scene of Malcesine castle and really took the time to make sure we could capture one of the most sentimental memories to us. We had arranged for Bruna to also sel...-HakanView Photographer profile
Omg where to start! We were two families traveling to Hawaii for vacation but then our friend decided he wanted to propose to his girlfriend, also my best friend while in Maui. I thought a photo shoot would be amazing so that the special moment could be captured.

I found Local Lens through a Google search and was very skeptical in the beginning because no photographers were reaching out. I was planning this a week before our vacay so I was stressing and decided that I needed to have a back up plan just in case. But then Gaylin reached out to me and we messaged back and forth on what our idea was for the proposal. She was so sweet and really helped plan this proposal, she gave me good pointers and ideas which I shared with the soon to be fiancé to get him prepared.

I must say, I was still so nervous leading up to that morning because I w...-ErikaView Photographer profile
We came in from TX and I was looking to book a photographer in CDMX. A friend had recommended Local Lens and after looking at photos from available photographers, we landed on Ruben.

Our shoot was nothing short of phenomenal. Ruben was so fun to shoot with and was very professional and a great guy. He went out of his way to take great shots from angles we never would have thought of and they turned out amazing. Everyone we know was blown away with how great the pictures turned out.

If you’re looking for a engagement photographer (during or post the actual engagement), this is your guy. Can’t recommend him enough. 10/10, will recommend him to anyone and everyone. Thanks Ruben!-AustinView Photographer profile
