5.00Rafael is AMAZING! So professional, so much fun. My husband and I met up with my parents and grandma in Galway, the first day we all got to see each other in Ireland and he captured the moment perfectly. The pictures he took will absolutely be cherished forever by all of us. I highly, highly recommend setting up a photo session with him if you're in Galway. Whether it be friends, couples, or family, you wont regret it!
Great photos + experience!

5.00My (now) fiancée and I met up with Rafael in the center of Galway for what I can only describe as a photo shoot for the memory books. Rafaels communication was on point and went perfectly as planned. He guided us as we walked through the city and even filled us in on cool local spots. Once we got to our spot he made us feel naturals in front of the camera, the when the time came to pop the question he knew exactly what to do and caught the moment perfectly. We will remember that day for the rest of lives thanks to Rafael.
Best experience ever!

5.00Absolutely perfect! My partner and I did a couple photo shoot in Galway with Rafael, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the very first contact, Rafael was incredibly attentive, professional, and warm, making us feel completely comfortable throughout the session. He has an amazing eye for capturing natural and spontaneous moments, while also gently guiding us with poses — which was so helpful since we’re not used to being in front of the camera. The choice of locations, the lighting, the angles… everything was spot on. The photos turned out stunning — beautifully edited with great taste, enhancing the natural beauty of each shot. Delivery was fast and well-organized, and the quality of the final gallery exceeded all our expectations. We highly recommend Rafael to anyone looking for a professional yet personal and heartfelt photo experience. This was such a special moment for us, and thanks to him, it’s now beautifully captured forever. Thank you so much for everything, Rafael!

5.00I was in Galway and needed some photos for PR purposes, and I'm so glad I got Rafael to take them. He was so easy to work with and fast. I don't really enjoy being photographed but he made it a breeze. We walked to two different locations and he took some great shots. He edited them and returned them to me quickly and even was able to make a vertical shot of a horizontal one when I requested. He sent photos sized both for social media and high rez photos suitable for my other needs. Thanks, Rafael!

5.00My wife and I often book local photographers during our travels. After seeing Rafael's portfolio on Viator, we decided to hire him, and it was a great decision. Rafael captured a mix of posed and candid shots along the River Corrib, the beach, and the canal. He also showed us some excellent pubs in West End, away from the usual tourist spots. Communication was smooth; Rafael worked with us to ensure we got great photos. We received nearly 50 high-quality images a week later. Rafael’s insights and skillful photography really enhanced our Galway trip.

5.00Our family trip to Ireland was our dream vacation - one that we had waited a very long time to take. We wanted to make sure we had some group photos to commemorate the occasion and Rafael was amazing. Communication before, during, and after was great and the turnaround for photos was very quick. Rafael's photos were unique and we loved that they were a mix of candid and staged photos. We are very happy with the end result and can't wait to share them with friends and family. We would highly recommend his services to anyone who wants to remember their trip of a lifetime!
