    Noel is the man

    Noel pays very close attention to detail. He doesn’t skip a beat. He is very professional when he is working and very kind and easy going when you get to know him. You can tell photography is more than just a job for Noel.

    Excellent addition to our day!

    I cannot recommend Noel del Pilar livestream services enough. He was great and easy to work with and an absolute gem. We were so glad to have the livestream for those who could not join physically. It also gives you high quality images immediately while you wait for photography. Additionally, we loved being able to watch the ceremony from different perspectives and see a lot more than we could that day. Looking forward to re-watching on future anniversaries and relive this day.

    Beautiful, lifetime-lasting pictures and video!

    Noel was a true pleasure to work with. His personality, professionalism, and warmth made our wedding photography/videography experience perfect. I was truly blown away by the amount of pictures he took and how phenomenal they look - it's so hard to choose our favorites. His photography style was romantic, candid, and fluid. His team captured every moment we wanted and the 1.5 hr video of our wedding will be a forever lasting memory to share with generations. We are so grateful for Noel and his team - I highly recommend him as a photographer/videographer for your wedding!

    We are so thrilled with having chosen Noel Del Pilar as our wedding photographer and videographer!
    Everything was done professionally and beautifully! The turn around time for the photos and videos was amazing! He let us work out a plan for what we dreamed about having in photos and videos which was a huge plus! He was so sweet along with his team! We would hire him again in a heartbeat for Puerto Rico photos!

    Top Live Streaming Service!

    We contacted Noel at the last minute to inquire about the live-streaming service for our wedding and we were so lucky that he was available. The live-streaming service was amazing and a high quality transmission. We got married in the middle of a COVID surge and we were so happy that our friends and families were able to join our ceremony virtually and celebrate with us. Noel was very profesional, responsive and diligent. In less than 24 hours we had our contract signed and the link for the live transmission. Every person that joined the ceremony virtually was amazed about how good the live transmission was. They said they even felt like they were watching a TV novel! Noel’s services exceeded our expectations!! Best decision ever!! We recommend his services for any type of activity. Thank you Noel for your amazing job!

    Gorgeous, Professional Photos

    We hired Noel for our wedding photography and videography. As part of our package, we also took some Love Story photos in Old San Juan about six months before our wedding. I had no idea that we were getting this level of photographer when we hired Noel, but let's just say we were EXTREMELY pleased with what we saw. We haven't gotten our wedding photos/video yet, but our love story photos came out better than we could have ever hoped. Noel has true vision so when he has you stand a certain or make small movements, you should absolutely listen. He is a professional who truly knows what he's doing and the result was absolutely perfect photos for us to keep for the rest of our lives. Don't hesitate for a second if you're thinking about hiring Noel. He's the perfect choice!

    We didn't knew how valuable Noel was

    I'm a woman of many words so please bear with me. The bottom line is that hiring Noel was just a brilliant decision and if I could convince you to do just one thing for your wedding is to hire his livestream service. 
    We were engaged in March 2019 and by May, we already had booked "all our vendors". Noel was not one of them. We had scheduled our wedding for Summer 2020, but along came the pandemic and we postponed it to May 2021. The Puerto Rico government executive orders kept changing and we had to bring our guest count from 230 people to 70. It was such a painful thing to do given that we both had big families and a lot of friends that would not be able to be there on our big day. 
    Months went by and when we decided to finally go forward with the second date, we started to entertain the idea of having a livestream. I'd seen them on Instagram stories and our coordinator sent us the information of a livestream service that wasn't Noel either. They only covered an hour of the ceremony and the price was super steep. I slept on it for too long and my coordinator notified me that they got booked for our date, and then she sent me the quote for Noel's services. Life has a funny way of steering you into the right people.
    Immediately I felt a hunch that it was meant to be and even lobbied with my now husband to select the biggest package which included footage of the ceremony and part of the reception. Done deal. We reached out, paid the deposit and I must admit that neither me or my then fiance knew exactly what we were paying for, we just wanted to include our loved ones that were not going to make it to the event.
    Noel was very communicative since we hired him. He prepared a slide show with our photos from our love story as an introduction to the ceremony video and sent us the youtube links for both ceremony and reception. We added those links to a virtual invitation that was sent to all the people that wouldn't be able to attend physically. From then on, we just trusted the process. On the day of the wedding, we saw Noel and his team, and that was that. They were very discreet, they set up nicely, they moved along with the photographer and videographer. 
    On the day after, I knew that hiring Noel was probably one of, if not the best investment we made for the whole wedding. My aunts, uncles and cousins were able to watch from North Carolina, Missouri, and New York. My friends from all over the states, Canada, Colombia, Mexico, England and Spain tuned in to watch. An aunt of mine called my dad during the wedding asking him to say hello to the camera. It was awesome!
    My husband's family, which is beyond huge (he has 35 first cousins) joined in to see the livestream. Friends and family sent me photos of the watch parties and it was the most beautiful and endearing thing in the whole wide world.
    The best part was that I could re-watch the ceremony and part of the reception on the day after. I woke up and went to re-watch our vows, our first dance, the toasts, the priest's homily, which was so beautiful and catered to us, the dancing, my walking down the aisle with my dad and it has been a magical experience because although we had a photographer and a videographer, their deliverables take up to several weeks or even months to be edited and ready, and the wait can be crazy. We stayed at our hotel for a couple of days, but when we arrived home, we ourselves had our own watch party and cried and laughed and danced along to the video. It's been two weeks since the wedding and I've probably re-watched the whole footage 7 times.
    I sent the links to the attendees too, and they've been able to capture themselves in the videos. I've had telephone calls with family members that were at the wedding and with some that weren't recalling moments from the livestream. Watching the unedited version of our wedding has been so amazing because we spent such a long time looking forward to that day and now I have it at the reach of my phone, incredibly accessible. 
    About 5 days ago, I watched it for the first time on a computer, instead of the youtube app of my phone and I was able to read the live comments that I was not able to see in my phone screen and I cried tears of joy because I almost didn't hired this service and it was such a godsend, such a marvelous high quality amazing service. 
    A few days after, Noel sent us the links to download the videos, and I still haven't, because I have them saved in the "watch later" part of my youtube library and every so often, when I need a pick me up because work is crazy and I re-watch a little bit again.
    Do yourself a favor and hire Noel. Even after the pandemic, even if you can invite all the people you wish to have with you there, give yourself the gift of being able to re-watch it the day after. If you enjoy it half of how I've enjoyed it, you'll have a blast. 

    Ps. the photos I'm attaching were taken from people that were not physically at the wedding, from their phone's/TV's. The quality of the video is superb.

    Noel was terrific on our wedding day. He was very professional and kept the flow moving before the ceremony and after. He knows how to direct people to get the best angles and pictures and does it quickly so more pictures could be taken overall than if a lot of time was wasted setting up shots.
    We recommend him 100% to anyone!

    Amazing Team & Experience

    What an amazing service Noel and team did at our wedding! We could not be happier with the end product!! Due to Covid, a lot of our guests were not able to attend our wedding, therefore we needed a live streaming service, in order for them to be a part of our day. The streaming quality was excellent and they were there with multiple angles at all times so that nothing would be missed. Totally recommend Noel and his team for any event, as their quality and service is amazing. He is very responsive whenever you have questions, or whenever you need something to be changed. 100% satisfied with the service and would totally recommend or use Noel again.

    Noel arrived earlier than scheduled and we can tell that he has professional experience that he has passed down to both his kids. They are a family business and he should feel proud to lead by such an impressive sample and role model❤️

    The consummate professional and incredibly gifted photographer

    I hired Noel de Pilar to photograph my wedding at Condado Vanderbilt, which was a destination wedding. I met Noel in Old San Juan a few days before with my husband, and he took a creative photo array of us. Not only did we see some beautiful spots in the City, it was a great insight into his artistic talents. Plus, he found the way to make us feel comfortable with him and relaxed when having posed pictures taken as a couple. Of what he showed us on his camera, the shots were stunning. Even more impressive, was his work on the day of the wedding. When I was getting ready with the bridal party, his presence was barely known - he caught wonderful candid shots. At the Vanderbilt, his work was tremendous. He knew all the best spots for photos and how to best pose us. We felt so relaxed in his presence, as did all our guests with him. And when we wanted to request additional photos, he was immediately and graciously accommodating. He showed us a photo taken of us on the staircase and it was breath-taking. Now, we are so eager to see the final work product, which we know will be phenomenal. Everyone should have such a classy and talented photographer at their wedding.

    Professional Photography with a Personal Touch

    Noel and his team really made my wedding -- they were so professional, they thought of everything, used any down time they had to grab so really priceless photo, and were great when giving direction. They worked through my shotlist and gave great suggestions to manage/balance photo time with reception time. Noel even helped my mom button my wedding dress (my dress had clear buttons with hard-to-see lace holes), all while getting the perfect mother/daughter shot. Thank you so much!!

    The best wedding photographer!

    Noel and team were an absolute pleasure to work with. Noel always made himself available every time we came to Puerto Rico during the planning phase. Post wedding as well, he was great to work with through the photo and album edits. We are extremely happy with the wedding photos. I highly highly recommend Noel!

    I always thought people were a little full of it when they’d say their wedding was the best day of their life. I was completely wrong. Our wedding was so full of special moments, and Noel’s photography is making sure that we never forget a single one.

    We met Noel in San Juan and were so impressed with the quality of his photos from previous weddings. His attention to detail and ability to capture the little things made him an easy choice.

    Leading up to the wedding, Noel was always in communication with us. Even when one of the most catastrophic hurricanes in San Juan history went through, he let us know that he was ok, and that he was still going to help us with our day.

    On the day of the wedding, we had to make some last minute adjustments due to rain. Noel was quick to communicate, and had a backup plan for first look pictures that worked wonderfully. We have received his photos, and we can’t believe how amazing everything looks. It’s like being back in that day every time I open up the album. We feel so lucky to be able to go back and relive the best day of our lives. Thank you so much, Noel!!

    Noel made our special day even more amazing. He listened to what we wanted, he gave us flexible options and did not rush thru the photo or video sessions. The end result of our wedding album and the videos where amazing! Thank you Noel !

    Noel is very talented and professional. He was very easy to contact leading up to our wedding, was very professional and efficient on the day of the wedding, and delivered beautiful photos quickly after our wedding. He was flexible when I asked him to take certain photos at certain times throughout the day, and we are so happy with the almost 2,000 photos we got from the event! Thank you, Noel!
