“If you're looking for a great photographer, look no further. We are from TX, and it was our first time visiting Trinidad, CA. I knew I wanted to propose here but had no idea where to start, so I took a shot in the dark and reached out to Tex. From the start, Tex was friendly and communicative, and he ultimately helped me pick an awesome spot for my proposal. At proposal day Tex was even better, he was warm and seemed genuinely happy to be there with us. I'll add that my (now) Fiance and I do not normally take a ton of photos, but Tex somehow had us completely comfortable and laughing through different poses for the entire hour session. He truly captured the surprise (this moment was 4 years in the making), excitement, and joy of the moment in a way that you can feel, even just looking at the photos. Go to Tex! I don't know him personally, but I will say this, this guy is the real deal, a kind hearted person and top notch professional who really seems dedicated to his craft.”
