Absolutely amazing experience! They helped me plan the most beautiful engagement, even better than I anticipated! From beginning to end! I would absolutely recommend! The pictures came out gorgeous!-MelanieView Photographer profile
Great experience! Great photographer! We love pictures that we got!

Thank you!!-LisaView Photographer profile
Clay was absolutely amazing! She was a clear communicator and when we accidentally went to the wrong place to meet. She met up with us rather than asking us to walk to her. She saw the beauty in all the details and made us feel comfortable.

We also got the best recommendations from her on where to eat, drink, and explore.

Our entire trip was better because of her local expertise and kind nature. She is the absolute best photographer and guide you could ask for.-TookaView Photographer profile
Carlos was perfect to work with for my proposal photoshoot! Even before booking he offered me lots of options for shoots, went to checkout the location for me ahead of time - he really went above and beyond. He even organized a friend to come hold the spotlight for us and help translate to English - adding to the quality of the photos he took. My partner and I felt very comfortable during the shoot, he worked with us and helped us capture the vision we had. We would highly recommend him for any photoshoot in Cartagena!-AkashView Photographer profile
Hello! My photographer was wonderful, friendly, easy to talk to very understanding, and professional.

She delivered what I asked & so much more I highly recommend her for your vacation sessions in beautiful Cartagena her name is Clau, my friend!-RosaView Photographer profile
My family and I give Paola Sanchez 5 stars! From the moment we reached out, she was incredibly responsive. She was the first to reply to my request, and once we booked our sessions, she quickly reached out on WhatsApp to schedule a consultation. During the consultation, we discussed locations, the overall theme, and she thoroughly prepped us for what to expect. I left the call feeling fully prepared.

Tip: I recommend booking a morning session around 6:45–7:15 am to avoid the heat—Paola gave us this suggestion, and it made a huge difference!

On the day of the shoot, she arrived early and was so patient with our two small kids. She was great at capturing both group and individual shots. We were thrilled when we received our photo gallery—Paola truly brought the essence of our trip to life, with the colors of every photo popping beautifully....-ChenikaView Photographer profile
Clau exceeded our expectations! She was extremely kind and professional with so many great ideas for shots. We were so impressed with the quality and composition of her work. I would highly recommend Clau to anyone looking for a photographer in Cartagena! Thanks again for everything!-AshleyView Photographer profile
When looking for a photographer, Clau's portfolio immediately caught my eye and I knew she would be perfect for our engagement photos. Clau was very responsive and when I told her where we were staying, she came up with a great route that captured Cartagena like I wanted. It was our first time doing a photoshoot, and Clau helped us feel comfortable the entire time. On top of that, Clau shared the history of Cartagena and recommended places to visit during our stay. I cannot recommend Clau enough!-CamiloView Photographer profile
We are so thrilled to have found Clau through Local Lens! Communication leading up to the shoot was great, and we absolutely loved getting to explore Cartagena as the sun rose. Our time with Clau was fun and relaxed, and we are so thankful for the beautiful shots she captured, which we will treasure for always.-Amanda & RobertView Photographer profile
