Cruz was absolute perfection. Her detail was right down to a T and we couldn’t have asked for anything more! Cruz stepped me through the whole process being from Australia we didn’t know much but we had Cruz communicate to us each step. She made our elopement so perfect and the previews we have received are perfection to the point I started crying! We were so lucky to find Cruz on tik tok and would 110% recommend her to anyone wanting wedding photos in Vegas!

We are beyond thrilled with the work of Cruz and her husband! They captured every precious moment of our wedding with such care and creativity. From start to finish, they were an absolute pleasure to work with—professional, attentive, and genuinely passionate about their craft. The final photos are perfect, each one bringing us right back to the magic of the day. We couldn’t have asked for a better team to capture these memories. Highly recommend!

Where do I even start?! Cruz was SO amazing to work with throughout the entire process. She was super communicative, super helpful with any of my questions, and for the day of, we were so comfortable with her immediately. She really helped lay out a schedule for us and plan out wedding day / Vegas elopement and it couldn't have gone any better. Our photos are to die for and everything we could've asked for. She got our sneak peeks to us so quickly and they are STUNNING. As not very photogenic people, she is a miracle worker haha.
Love Cruz, 1000/10 recommend her for your day!! -
Cruz was absolutely phenomenal! She ensured that our vision for our special day came to fruition through consultation, surveys, and chats. She was extremely friendly and professional and immediately helped us feel comfortable throughout our ceremony and photos. Our photos were absolutely beautiful and perfect.
