LOVERS WHO LOVE US

Words cannot describe how incredible Roge and Fernando are. In our first call with Roge, she made us cry when she detailed how special this day should be – every other vendor we spoke with focused on money and needs, but Roge made our wedding day feel important. Then, we met Roge and Fernando for coffee to talk through the look of our Studio 54-inspired wedding, and from that moment they were IN! We worked with them first for an engagement photo package on Coney Island, and I can’t suggest doing this enough! We were able to work with them in an intimate setting, which made us feel at ease when it came to the wedding day. The photos - just WOW! They captured pure joy that day! Everything was free-spirited and fun. Onto the big day: with a disco wedding, our guests boogied DOWN, and Roge and Fernando were right there with everyone. They were up on risers, down on the floor, in the mix, whatever they needed to do to get the perfect shot they DID! The photos we have are UNREAL! Please look no further and book with Warm Up Lab!

It is hard to even express how incredible it was to work with Roge and Fernando, and our wedding pictures are beyond our wildest dreams. We are not comfortable in front of the camera. Roge and Fernando made us feel so calm, from the progression of the day, to getting our candid moments like first loo. We really appreciated meeting ahead of time to discuss the game plan. They organized the time before hand so that we have so many great shots of getting ready, just us, our wedding party, and family, in addition to the ones at the actual event. It was an incredibly special treat to receive around 70 edited photos the morning after our wedding. Even just in that selection our whole day was captured and the joy and magic of it all. Going through the entire collection makes us relive each special moment. The images captured how comfortable we were with them. They were so professional and truly artists, the images show us and our wedding day in a gorgeous and artful way. We could not recommend Warm Up Lab more!

One of the best decisions we made for our wedding was hiring Roge & Fernando as our photographers. These two helped us remember our wedding day forever in the most beautiful way. Their talent and skill is evident in every photo and Fernando's use of light is just one of the many, many reasons we were drawn to them. Their attention to detail is impeccable and they were so, so thorough in their documentation of our wedding. We asked for a lot of shots of the party and guests (rather than mostly just us) and they managed to capture the sweetest moments that might've passed us by in the commotion of the day. Of course I cried when they delivered our massive album because it was everything we ever hoped for in our wedding photos. We didn't have a videographer and after seeing these shots we definitely don't regret it. Their style and skill managed to capture the emotion and energy of the day in every photo. We have already recommended Roge & Fernando to several couples, and will continue to recommend them any chance we get. We truly adore you two and know every other couple you work with will, too!!!

Roge and Fernando are amazing people, brilliant artists, and incredible professional and personable. From their website, my (now) husband and I knew we wanted their aesthetic and style for our photos. Right away, Roge followed up with our outreach, we had a delightful conversation, and immediately felt comfortable. We took advantage of the additional engagement photo session package as well. This actually served us as a, pun intended, warm up session to familiarize ourselves with Fernando. He is approachable, warm, and intelligent, and had a way to help both of us get comfortable and relax. On our wedding day, their team was on time, relaxed, humorous, and creative. A bonus, they also worked really well with our nutty family members. When we received our Preview the following day, we (well I) cried. Highly recommend, and WILL recommend them to our connections in the future.

Roge and Fernando are both true artists who chase after the craft and not the trends. They made us feel so comfortable during our engagement shoot and wedding day. They were able to capture all of our and guests emotions - when I look at the photos I know exactly what what happening/song was playing. We had rain in our forecast and Roge had a plan for every scenario and really focused on making the day special for us. They even proactively scouted out all the places around our venue for photo ops. And the speed that we received our photos! Photography was super important to us and warmup labs delivered.

From start to finish, Roge and Fernando surpassed every expectation we had. We worked with them for our engagement photos, our wedding ceremony in 2020, and finally our wedding reception in August of 2021. Each day we worked with Roge and Fernando, it was like having sunshine beaming over us. They made us feel warm and comfortable, and caught deeply intimate moments that we will hold dear to us forever. They are true artists, but have an ability to perform their art in such a personal and touching way. They never forget that they are capturing people, not objects, and our photos came out even more beautiful than we ever imagined they would be. My husband and I feel truly fortunate that we were able to book them for not just one, but two of our most special days.

From the moment we reached out to Fernando and Roge we felt their passion for their work and true love for their clients. I had only one request from our photographers, and that was to capture beautiful moments but let us “do our own thing”. Little did I know, that was their mantra! They staged photos with family when needed, but when it came to my husband and I it was like they felt when to give us space and when to join in on our little moments. And I know I haven’t even gotten to the main reason why you’re probably reading this review: their work. And that’s because all I have to say is WOW. They master the non wedding wedding photography feel. Our photos did not just capture our most intimate moments, but they also honored the light, texture and beauty around us. If there is one thing I can recommend everyone for their wedding, it’s to have these two genuine and loving souls by your side!

Our experience with Warm Up Lab Weddings was nothing short of AMAZING! In all seriousness, we were overwhelmed with how beautifully and artistically Warm Up Lab captured and documented our wedding day. The perspective and light of each photo is simply phenomenal and awe-inspiring. It is truly a joy to review the photos and remember the day in such detail and beauty. Fernando was so wonderfully skilled at capturing the important and interesting moments - not just the big ones but the often overlooked little ones. Roge was nothing but lovely and helpful to work with and offered guidance throughout the process that was indelible and meaningful. THANK YOU! Choosing Warm Up Lab as our wedding photographer(s) was, without a doubt, the best wedding decision we made. From the very bottom of both of our hearts, thank you thank you thank you!

Roge and Fernando are unlike any other photographers I have ever met! They captured our wedding in the most natural yet classic way. They made us feel like old friends the entire planning process which helped keep us calm even despite some disasters that occurred with our venue. They are extremely professional and they take the time to make sure your photos end up being perfectly about you and your loved one. Our guest are even talking about the photos we shared and how much they loved Roge and Fernando! They are happy to oblige and take an necessary portrait style photos (need to have a few with mom and dad!) yet the magic really happens when they are capturing the moments in between the staged photos. I would have paid 10X more for these photos. Some of my favorites are the ones at the church as they captured so many incredibly intimate moments between my husband and I. We love you guys!

I have so many amazing things to say about this husband wife duo its hard to know where to start. From the moment I spoke to Roge on the phone I knew I wanted to work with her. She was professional, down to earth, warm and someone I immediately felt comfortable with. Before even booking them Roge gave talked me through critical photography decisions and helped me understand how to best organize the day. On the day of they arrived early, planned their shots and most importantly helped keep everyone on time, (removing all the time keeping off my plate- THANK YOU!) This alone is a reason to book them. It is also extremely rare for multiple people to come up after the wedding and compliment the photographers, before they have ever seen a photo. I had family members and friends notice how hard Roge and Fernando where working, and how they were everywhere. Less then 24 hours after they left the wedding, they sent me a sneak peak of BEAUTIFUL pictures they had taken. This is such a wonderful gift to keep the wedding buzz going. I would recommend them 100 times over!

This husband and wife duo is the real deal! I have been in 15+ wedding in my life I've seen just about everything. They absolutely exceeded every expectation. The pictures are just on another level. Their ability to efficiently pose large groups is the best I've ever seen. I seen other photographers waste so much time trying to do this but they nailed it in no time at all. The intimate photos getting ready before the ceremony look like they belong in a fashion magazine. They litterally got better and better as the night went on. Our reception was action packed, my wife and I danced a good 75% of the time and every time I looked up from the fun they were there capturing all the genuine happy moments with friends and family. The candid photos are so good , looking through the mountain of photos they gave us feels like living my wedding night over every time. Not to mention they gave us like 100 pictures the day after that we shared immediately on social media. Then gave all the rest to us 1 month after the wedding. I can not recommend them enough... for what they gave me I honestly feel like they should have charged me double.

I can't emphasize enough how happy I am that we chose Warm Up Lab Weddings for our wedding photographers. Roge and Fernando have an excellent eye for natural, beautiful and intimate photography. I knew instantly when we looked at their work that this is the type of photojournalistic style I wanted. Roge and Fernando are lovely people who truly make you feel like you're their only clients. Our engagement photoshoot was 6 hours long and we walked all over NYC, pausing to take photos in classic and also off beat locations. They are so responsive via email and phone and their presence put me at ease on my wedding day. They are organized and know how to divide and conquer so you have amazing photos of every aspect of your day. We would recommend them wholeheartedly to any couple who is looking for authentic, gorgeous, and FUN photos and memories.

Roge and Fernando photographed our wedding at FEAST at Round Hill in Washingtonville, NY. They are SO talented and incredibly easy and fun to work with! I can't begin to explain how awesome it was to actually see quality images the very next day and already begin reliving how much fun our wedding was. I also really appreciated how, once all of the formal photos and ceremony were over, they stuck by us and made sure that if we were talking to a guest and wanted a posed picture they were right there to capture it. At the same time, they were also taking candid, in-the-moment images. They both have an eye for capturing special moments and exploring unique angles. On top of all of that, they were extremely responsive and organized. We will forever treasure our wedding memories and are so lucky to have the beautifully artistic images from Roge and Fernando. xoxo!

I took a chance on Warm Up Lab, without any personal recommendations, because I truly fell in love with their portfolio, and I am so glad I did. The communication was easy, the photographers were truly interested in previewing the venue and meeting us to understand our personal style and needs. Roge and Fernando are very hands off and are able to foster a very natural and comfortable environment which is why the product is so special. The turnaround time for pictures was about two weeks, and we love our pictures. I must add, the most special part of going through our wedding album was being able to see all of the captured moments of our friends and family that we didn't personally witness!

We feel so lucky to have found Warm Up Lab - Roge and Fernando - to shoot our wedding. First, the quality of their work is excellent. We were drawn to their photo-journalistic style and ability to capture beautiful, unique moments -- the big ones as well as the small, behind-the-scenes moments you could easily have missed. Between Fernando's incredible artistic skill and Roge's creative eye, we have an amazing collection showing our love and excitement on our wedding day. Roge did an amazing job coordinating our large wedding party and families into gorgeous group shots that feel spontaneous and lively. Looking back at our photos, we can truly relive each moment of the day. Beyond the excellent quality of their work, they are the loveliest people to work with, putting us at ease throughout the process. We are so happy they were part of our day. Finally - they are so fast! They sent us our "sneak peek" link of incredible photos the very next day which we absolutely loved, and finished photos within a month of our wedding. Being able to relive these moments while we are still feeling the energy of that incredible day has been so much fun. Without hesitation, we highly recommend Warm Up Lab!

Fernando and Roge are documentary photographers whose photos told the story of our day in a way that went beyond our expectations. They captured beautiful personal moments between our guests and managed to get up close, but in a way that never felt intrusive. In a short time, they engendered a great deal of trust - this reflects in the intimate nature of all the portraits and how at ease our guests felt with them. As a couple they respected all our wishes and boundaries, and we were deeply moved when we received all our pictures. You don’t get to participate in many things that happen at your own wedding day, but through their work we got to experience them. Thank you Roge and Fernando, we are so thankful life brought you both our way.

Our friends' recommendation of Roge and Fernando was definitely the best wedding gift we received. We could not be happier with the photos and the experience. It's difficult to put into words how thrilled we are with the images, both for the incredible moments and emotions they captured--many of which we hadn't remembered or experienced firsthand--and just as art. We knew we liked Roge and Fernando's style from their website, but we were still floored but how beautifully they were able to document our wedding day. And we've treasured the experience of working with Warm Up Lab as much as their quality work. Roge has remained just as kind and responsive after the wedding. Fernando, in addition to having a remarkable eye, was a wonderful presence throughout the day (especially for a couple not so comfortable being photographed). We all--our families included--felt incredibly at ease with him, even in the most emotional moments. Roge and Fernando were also incredibly flexible and understanding when our plans changed at the eleventh hour due to weather. Working with Warm Up Lab was definitely the best wedding planning decision we made.

Working with Fernando and Roge was a great experience all around. They are very genuine people on an individual level and absolute professionals when it comes to their work. Fernando has a great eye for photography and uses his professional judgement when taking photos and Roge is great at organizing everything and keeping things moving throughout the day. Together, they were extremely accommodating with our day of schedule and were able to fit in a ton of family portraits which my family wanted and some photos shot in our home in Brooklyn. My family and friends also commented how they really enjoyed their presence during the wedding and how they were very unobtrusive when taking photos. Thank you Roge and Fernando for all of your genuine hard work and effort! Our Snapshot photos came out wonderful, especially they ones at the Beekman Hotel and we can’t wait to see the rest!

Roge and Fernando are simply amazing. The photographed our wedding on May 12 and were so professional and a pleasure to work with. The photos are just absolutely exquisite and they seem to really understand the romantic artistic vibe we were going for as opposed to cookie cutter wedding photography. They were also very flexible in terms of schedule and just really easy to work with on the day of. Roge really keeps the schedule and checklist on point and Fernando is the artist - a dream team!!!

We have nothing but wonderful things to say about Fernando and Roge from Warm Up Lab! We recently hired them for our May wedding in Brooklyn. They first caught our eye due to the artistic and candid style of their work but we knew we were going to hire them within the first half hour of meeting them as we immediately felt comfortable and we knew we would be well taken care of. Fernando and Roge have a great rapport and balance each other well. Fernando is the photographer and the artistic eye while Roge handles the scheduling, daily communication, and makes sure that all of the important people, moments, etc... are captured on the day of. Not only were we so incredibly happy with the way our photos turned out and the little moments that (we were shocked) had been captured but we continue to hear rave reviews from all of our guests about how professional and hardworking our photographers were all night. A lot of photographers will cap the amount of photos they will take or charge you for a specific number but Fernando kept shooting all day and night and we now have an amazing album of over 1500 photos to look back on from the day. All of these were cleaned and sent to us within a few weeks of the wedding. We were so impressed! What's not to love?? We have nothing but positive things to say about Fernando and Roge and highly recommend them.

Warm Up Lab Weddings was one of the best parts of our wedding. Out of all the vendors from our wedding it really felt like Roge and Fernando knew the importance that our day had for us and this not only translated in the photos they took but also in their attention to detail during the wedding. They were such an important part of our day not only because they were capturing the moments but they really became part of the festivities and the family. I would recommend them wholeheartedly if you want to feel that your photographer cares as much about the day as you do and that comes through in the photographs in a very tangible way.

Fernando and Roge were great to work with! We knew right away that we wanted to hire them for our wedding when we met. They were punctual, knowledgeable, and very receptive to what we wanted. We were appreciative of their communication leading up to the wedding, and their responsiveness after the wedding while they were editing the pictures/video. Fernando goes to great lengths to get a great shot; at one point he went up a rickety 15 foot ladder to get a phenomenal photo of us overlooking the city from the roof. Actions like that really show you how passionate Fernando is about photography and taking advantage of a space. We loved the sample of the photos in our inbox the day after! All around we are really happy with Fernando and Roge and are glad to have had them be a part of our wedding day!

Roge and Fernando made sure I don’t forget a single moment for my wedding day. Every second was beautifully captured. Amazing photographers. We had Roge and Fernando cover our rehearsal dinner and the entire wedding day. We received the wow photos the day after the wedding, and they look amazing! We highly recommend working with Roge and Fernando. They are incredibly kind, talented, communicative, and will make sure that good photos happen!

Can not say enough great things about this wonderful couple. Roge and Fernando go above and beyond to get the most beautiful shots. I am not someone who is comfortable in front of the camera but they did such a wonderful job of putting me at ease and making it fun. They were an absolute delight to work with and the pictures were STUNNING! I would highly recommend them to anyone

I just got married in early September 2017 and working with Roge and Fernando was fantastic. They are utmost professionals, prompt, organized, responsive, easy to work with and go above and beyond for their clients. They made great suggestions the day of, and our pictures are just stunning. We could not be happier with the way the day flowed with Roge and Fernando or the final result. They cherry on top is they are warm and lovely people, it was truly a pleasure working with them. I cannot recommend them enough. Any couple would be luck to work with this incredible pair. Thank you Roge and Fernando!

We could not be happier with our choice of Fernando and Roge to photograph our wedding in NYC at the Nomad Hotel Rooftop. They are a wonderful, extremely talented couple with such a positive and professional approach. From perfect coordination with timings and locations, to their patience and adaptability to working with our busy family and friends, to their final finished product of absolutely stunning photos – they are a perfect choice for any wedding. They had promised to get us some WOW photos by the next day and as promised we had a link to share with our overly joyed family and friends. We have not stopped receiving compliments on their photos and even their overall presence at the party. Words can not express how grateful John and I are for Roge & Fernando who helped make our special day even more magical. Thank you again!

Roge and Fernando were an absolute pleasure to work with! They have a beautiful eye and captured the day amazingly. It was an absolute pleasure having them photograph our wedding. They made wonderful suggestions, kept us on schedule, and really made us feel so comfortable. It was truly special to receive a sneak preview the morning after the wedding. Our family and friends are swooning over the images and cannot wait to receive the rest of the photos. We are so lucky to have worked with them and to have such amazing pictures from our day
