Petra Photography in Key West

Dear Marcela and Solaris,

We were concerned about using a photographer and videographer that we had never seen prior to the day of our wedding in the Keys! You not only helped us via phone and email, you captured photographs and video of our special day far exceeding our expectations.

Both of you have a great talent!

We would like to acknowledge as well how smooth and professional it was to deal with you.

Thank you,

Petra and Dean Barley

Dear Marcela & Solaris:

We want to express our sincere thank you to the both of you and for the wonderful job you did last week on our special day. You guys really made our day so memorable. You both are so easy to work with and really made us feel comfortable, it seemed that we knew each other for a while, even my friends commented the same, you are really nice people. MARCELA, you really had patience with me, and helped me with all the changes I had from my vows to the flowers… from decorating my cake to finding a nice restaurant. (By the way, the flowers for my hair were Perfect!!). The ceremony was beautiful, the way you conducted it and the sound of your voice really made the ceremony soft and romantic. SOLARIS, you are amazing at taking pictures. I can’t thank you enough for all the effort you put into making our pictures unique, and giving us lots of different shots. The lighting and the takes were exceptional, and your creativity really helped to create all of those beautiful poses. Marcela thank you for helping Solaris too. You both make a great team!! Good job guys! We are definitely recommending you.

(PS: Solaris, next time we are visiting, we will visit your dad’s gallery and take you and Marcela out for a drink) : )

Thank you,

Marcela,

I cannot express to you how much Phil and I appreciate all that you and Solaris did to make our day special. While it might not be the biggest or most complicated day, you still did your best to ensure that we were happy. We are very happy. Both of you are professional, warm and easy to interact with. I know that you will both continue to be successful in your respective careers. While we didn’t have too much interaction, I would be delighted to serve as a reference should you need one. I have nothing but positive things to say about you both. Best wishes to both of you!

Dear Marcela,

We did get our pictures and our video and everything was absolutely beautiful. We could not be happier with the way things went. Our day was perfect and I can not thank you enough for the role you played. I am so glad we went with the video. Everyone had a great time and I am so happy that we have that keepsake.

Please let Solaris know that the pictures are absolutely amazing! We are so happy with everything.

I did pass your information on to our travel agent in case there is anyone thinking of getting married in Key West that goes through him and I have another friend that I am trying to talk in to getting married there on the beach. Thank you so much! I feel very lucky that I found your website. Everything was perfect!

idea and you did an awesome job at mixing the sound and shots.
Originally I didn’t really want to get the video, but I’m very glad we
did. Thanks for all your efforts.

Marcela and Solaris,
Thank you so much for a perfect wedding day!!!! Every last detail was exactly as we had discussed–we didn’t have to think or worry about a thing. The flowers were exquisite, and the sand ceremony added a wonderful personal touch. We are thrilled with the pictures, and we can’t wait to have a DVD viewing party for the friends and family who couldn’t be with us that day.We love Key West, and we wouldn’t change one single thing about our wedding day.

Warmest regards,

Dana & George

Marcela,

We received our video yesterday and of course had to watch it as soon as we got it. It is great, everything that you and Solaris did for our wedding turned out amazing and we could not have asked for anything more. The video goes along with that, you caught the best of everyone and it is great to have a video to watch to go along with the photography.

We can’t wait to play it at the reception and be able to show all of our friends and family the wedding and the amazing scenery.

Again thank you for everything and best of luck to you both.

Hi Marcela,
We just wanted to say thank you to you and Solaris for making our wedding day absolutely perfect. I think it far exceeded our expectations as we had never been to Key West. But we were confident in your abilities right from the start as you were always so prompt and professional in answering my many many emails over the 6 months prior to the wedding. The ceremony ran so smoothly and the sound of your voice made it so romantic. My mum also commented on how intuitive you were in knowing what people wanted from their body language, so you were always there to help or take a quick photo for someone.We were also so surprised to get our photos back the next day!!! And there were so many of them!!!! They were beautiful and the sunset was beyond words. Brian and I liked how Solaris made us feel so comfortable and would show us and our guests the photos as he went along. He was also very flexible in quickly driving us up to the next set of rocks when the closest one was occupied. I’m glad he did, because those photos are amazing.

Thank you so much Marcela and Solaris!!! I wish we could do it all over again!!!

OMG!  I can not find the right words to describe how much we LOVE our pictures.  Solaris, you are amazing.  I’m pretty sure there are a few that could easily wind up on the cover of a magazine.  We can’t thank you enough for giving us such great memories!!!!Absolutely perfect!!!!!!

We will definitely tell everyone that will listen how wonderful you and Marcela are.

FANTASTIC!!!!

Nicole & Joel

Marcela and Solaris,

Thanks for everything you guys were absolutely great. Everybody commented on how much of a hustler Solaris was. He was in every spot, at every moment, catching all of the shots!   Thanks again, we can’t wait to see the pictures.

Carol & George



Hello,

Solaris, the pictures are beautiful, stunning, perfect.  The only problem we had was picking our favorites.  You captured so many touching moments throughout the ceremony for us to remember.  We love the different lighting and backgrounds you used, it feels like we have several sets of wedding photos, going from palm tress, to beach, to the rocks and the ocean and from daylight to dusk and to a lovely sunset.   The colors are amazing, and we will always appreciate having such a beautiful record of our special day.

Marcela, thank you for your help in coordinating it all, and answering all my questions.  I’m glad we had a chance to meet you.

Best wishes and thanks again,

Laura and Malek



Solaris and Marcela,When planning our wedding, we received lots of loving advice : )

“Your photographer and videographer will make or break your wedding”

We definitely hit the jackpot with you both!!!!

From the moment you started to take our photos, you were non-stop action trying to capture every moment of our special day!

Your eye for lighting coupled with your knowledge of the area made our photos amazing!!! AND you made us feel so at ease – it almost felt as if we were hanging out with long lost friends.

Our wedding went by so quickly, but thanks to you, we have memories that will last a lifetime!!

P.S.  My Husband HATES getting his photo taken, but after the wedding he told me how much fun he had while we were taking photos : )

We will never be able to thank you enough for making our wedding day so special!!  Even though we had rain before the ceremony, you were able to transform that into the most spectacular and unique photos that we will treasure forever!!  We plan to throw a party soon and show off your creative pics to the guests.  You truly have a gift!  The love you have for photography shows in the enthusiasm you display when you are blending the subjects with the setting!  Thank you so very much for everything you did!!!  We have the best memories now, because of you!!
Please never stop the photography business!!
Our Highest Regards,
