Words can not express how happy my husband and I are with our pictures that Mark and Crystal took. There are so many great shots that we are having a tough time trying to decide which ones to chose for the cd because we want them all. They were professional and were happy to work with our ideas and creativity to produce exactly what we wanted. Thank you Mark and Crystal for everything. My husband and I recommend Gamboa Photos to anyone that is looking for a great photography service in Hampton Roads and beyond!

I searched all over Hampton Roads for a great photographer that I loved and I am so glad that I choose Mark & Crystal! They made our photo session effortless and they were such a joy to be around. Our photos are unbelievable… they are better than what I was hoping for! I can’t wait for them to shoot our wedding!

Gamboa Photos are awesome!! My husband and I had unexpected changes to the wedding and Mark & Crystal were very accommodating. Mark and Crystal made my simple day turn into a beautiful fairytale. The pictures were so natural and beautiful. They caught precious moments not just staged pictures. I really enjoyed working with them. I would definitely recommend them to all of my friends and family. Thanks again

My family asked Mark and Crystal to come to our house for the photo shoot. They were on time, friendly, and extremely professional. They listened to our ideas as well as had amazing ideas of their own. They were extremely patient with our newborn son and made it such an enjoyable and memorable experience for everyone.
Mark is such a talented photographer and his photographs were nothing short of jaw-dropping. I will recommend him to all my friends and family. Thank you Mark and Crystal for capturing our new family.

My fiance, Frank received unexpected and last minute orders to deploy to Iraq. We didn't have a lot of time to plan but wanted to capture great memories of our engagement. It was important that we had a photographer that could do this for us. When the one you love is 7000 miles away pictures are sometimes the only thing you have. I had originally scheduled another photographer but something just didn't feel right. After looking around online, I found Mark and Crystal. Their professionalism and quality of work impressed me! So much that I canceled the other photographer and went with Gamboa. They did a fantastic job and captured memories we will cherish for a lifetime. We appreciate all of your hard work. You guys are awesome!!!

Words cannot describe how incredible it has been for us to work with Mark and Crystal. They are extremely talented and extremely easy to work with, which is a rare find! We have done two important shoots with them so far, our wedding and engagement photos, and each one exceeded our expectations. Crystal even made us an awesome, user-friendly website! They were able to listen to our requests, follow our instructions, and add on an artistic flair. The results have been outstanding. I have recommended them to everyone I know, and would highly recommend them to anyone who wants quality photos of themselves, regardless of the occasion. Since meeting them, we've decided that we'll never use another photographer again.

I had a lot of fun! I have never had profesional pictures taken of me outside of like those boring family shots, so in the beginning it was sorta awkward but that soon was gone because everyone was laughing and smiling and it was a lot of fun.
They are very nice and are willing to make your photo experience enjoyable. My sister and I had a hard time picking the photos we wanted because we loved all of them!!! And i was suprised to find a lot of the photos already online the next day, I would have expected it to take them a while to get them edited and posted. It was a great experience, and the photos turned out a hundred times better than the ones Lifetouch/ Prestige took of me. These guys actually care about how your photos turn out, and let you see them before you purchase them. You wont be disapointed :)

Wow! Where do I begin? My husband and I decided that I would undertake the task of finding a photographer for our wedding and, when I met Mark and Crystal, I knew I would definitely hire them! They are very professional, their work is phenomenal, and I felt extremely comfortable around them. Every moment spent with them was a blast, and the quality of their work continued to surpass my expectations.
When our engagement shoot had to be moved from its original beach location due to overcrowding, they found a new location within the hour, and our portraits turned out better than I would have imagined! It was an absolute pleasure having them at our wedding. They photographed every single detail, and I had to keep myself from crying when I viewed the photos for the first time. The photos and wedding website are AMAZING!!! Some of our friends who were unable to attend the wedding actually shed tears watching the slideshow! I cannot thank
them enough for their hard work. I recommend Gamboa Photos without hesitation, and I look forward to working with them again in the future.

I want to thank you guys for help launching me as far as you did in my modeling. With your work I already have agencies interested in me, and I am already excited to see the future work we do!
— Jeff D., VA
Our experience with Gamboa photos was a memorable experience. With this being our first maternity shoot, we were quite unsure of what to expect but meeting with Mark & Crystal made us feel more comfortable and informed about what was expected. They encouraged us to create an atmosphere that would make us would feel relaxed during the shoot, such as incorporating our style of music. We also were able to share our ideas that in turn created photos better than we imaged. We definitely recommend anyone to check them out for a photo shoot, especially for maternity.
— Sha'Tara & Terry, VA
We had an outstanding experience from beginning to end. Mark & Crystal made everything easy, they were extremely flexible with scheduling and offered excellent suggestions for location and working with our 10 month old son. When the day of the shoot came they had tons of patience in working with our little boy and managed to get more than 200 pictures of a baby in a little more than an hour. The photos themselves exceeded my expectations as they captured split second moments that I will cherish forever. I would highly recommend Gamboa Photography to anyone and I will definitely be using them again in the future!

Michael and I were driving after the wedding and we were just talking. We were discussing how professional and awesome Mark and Crystal & the team were. We also discussed how successful the photo booth was, everyone loved it! Everyone who attended the wedding said how fun the photo booth was and how great of an idea it was. We did not notice Mark and the team at all, they weren't in the way of the wedding. Michael and I were extremely pleased of all the results of the pictures and recommend them to everyone and anyone who needs professional photography. They were unbelievable! They will definitely be people we will grow with when we have future important events. Thanks Mark and Crystal and the TEAM for making the most important day of our lives, the sweetest day!
— Michael and Janel, VA
We had a wonderful engagement session with Mark and Crystal. They made us feel very comfortable and it definitely shows in our pictures. Matt and I had many questions about posing, camera angles, different scenery, etc., but we were put at ease when Mark and Crystal gave us positive feedback. They are fun to work with and very professional.
We are thrilled with our engagement pictures and can't wait for Mark and Crystal to capture the special moments at our wedding. Thank you both!
— Michele and Matt, VA
Working with the Gamboa team was amazing. Everyone was so helpful in making both shoots a success. Their enthusiasm on set is incredible. They keep you entertained while creating stunning images. It doesn't even feel like work because we have so much fun. I would definately recommend them to anyone in need of fabulous photos! You'll love what you get.
— Janet, VA
...As always, the dynamic duo AKA Mark & Crystal far surpass any expectations! Better to have no expectations & just let them go is the best way to see them work their magic. I love their approachability & admire their professionalism. They are wiser than their years.
My son, who is pursuing modeling, worked so well with Mark & Crystal. He was so comfortable with them & felt right at home. Which definitely shows in the pictures. If & when you decide to have your child's portfolio done, Gamboa photos is the place to call! Kudos to both of you for the expertise you place in everything you create...

... I had no expectations. If anything, I was clueless and terrified- not the most comfortable feeling. Mr. Gamboa and his partner in crime Crystal made the whole experience one for me to remember. They made being in front of the camera very easy for me. YES! I was surely rough at first but Mr. Gamboa was very down to earth and relaxed that he made it impossible for me to worry about how I was going to perform or how anything was going to turn out...
I would like to publicly thank you for one of the "funnest" experiences I've ever done. It's one off the "to do list" and I'm glad I was able to share it with you both. And as Sir Ceasar said, “Veni, Vidi, Vici.”

I was very happy to find Mark and Crystal and they were truly the perfect photographers for my family portrait. I have two little ones and one is just a baby. My older one is camera shy so you can imagine how hard it can be to get a good family portrait. On top of that, I had all this image and I was very specific about what kind of pictures I wanted. Although we had never met Mark and Crystal in person until the photo shoot, I found them very friendly and easy to work with, and they never "pressured" us to do anything- they were very patient with the kids as well and they really made us comfortable. Prior to the photo shoot, we exchanged numerous e-mails discussing what kind of family photos I was looking for and locations, and all that, and they were very understanding and willing to work with me, and they were also very helpful.
And oh boy, after I saw the retouched photos... they were just so perfect! They did an excellent job and my family truly appreciate their work. I already recommended them to several friends!

We had lots of fun doing this photo session. We didn't know what to do at first but Mark made it seem so easy. They were very professional but fun at the same time. I'm glad they gave us some ideas because we were clueless at first, but then we got to do some of the posses we wanted. Our families were so excited that the pictures turned out amazing. Thank you Gamboa Photos.
— Ana M., VA
My husband and I hadn't a photo shoot in a while so when I stumbled accross Gamboa Photos I was really excited. I didn't really have any pictures of pregnancy before the shoot, so these photos are more than I could ever ask for. Now I can keep these pics forever and they are of such great quality. Thanks so much, Gamboa will be taking care of all my photography needs in the future
