Elihu was a great photographer, and the photos/video turned out amazing! He helped me come up with a detailed plan of how to propose to my girlfriend. Everything went smoothly, and he was able to show us different ways to pose, since we're not very confident in front of the camera. Would definitely book again!-Teddy N.View Photographer profile
Rubén hizo un trabajo maravilloso, estaba un poco nervioso por la session pero ya que llegamos Rubén nos ayudó con las fotos. Nos recomendó un buen lugar y me gustó como hizo su trabajo.

Ruben was amazing. Definitely recommend 👌-DeniseView Photographer profile
TLDR - Would recommend Ruben 10/10!

I wanted to set up a surprise engagement at Teotihuacan and one of the friends on our Mexico City trip was able to book a private tour for us and get the tour guide onboard - easy.

After that, I decided it would be awesome to be able to find a photographer who could capture the moment for us, which is how I ran across Local Lens and Ruben.

As I was looking for availability, I realized that I probably should've looked a bit sooner, as there was only about a week or two before the date, but luckily Ruben quickly responded that he was available on the date, and was flexible enough to arrive early morning to beat us to the spot to be ready for the surprise!

Ruben always quickly responded, and even suggested that I connect him directly with our tour guide so that they could coordinate e...-BradenView Photographer profile
I am so glad that I found Ruben! I can’t say enough about how professional Ruben is and the quality of work that he provides. I was so pleased with my session and final photographs, that I will continue to use him in the future.

I would definitely recommend Ruben. 10/10!!-SahitView Photographer profile
Ruben was an amazing photographer, and we couldn't be happier with the pictures he took of my fiancé and me. His punctuality, professionalism, friendly demeanor, and ability to direct us were above and beyond what we expected. He offered several suggestions and locations for our shoot and we loved the results.

Thanks Ruben!-IvanView Photographer profile
Carlos was an excellent choice for our anniversary shoot. He was immediately personable, and we felt comfortable with him right away. Also, his knowledge of places that are good for shots is great. We trusted him completely.-CoraView Photographer profile
Ruben did a fantastic job of capturing our proposal. He suggested a great, quiet location and acted as a “tourist”, so that I could surprise my now fiancé. The pictures he took turned out great, and he really knows how to use the lighting!-CoreyView Photographer profile
Great photographer and session! I would recommend Ruben to anyone looking for photography!-CodyView Photographer profile
I hired Ruben for a photoshoot for my Bag brand to take shots of models all over Mexico City.

I sent a clear brief, and he took the most incredible photos that showed the product in so many ways.

He worked so hard, guided us to the best locations, and turned the edited film around in just a day.

He gets a 12 out of 10. Amazing photographer and such a nice guy to spend time with. Highly recommend him!-PamView Photographer profile
