Abel has such an amazing talent for capturing ‘moments’ which is exactly what you want on your special day.And for me that was a plus. It’s not the formal photos that remind you how great your day was – it’s the natural fun and excitement that is so important to be documented. Abel’s ability not to miss a moment is incredible, and his energy and passion comes across in the photos. He is able to blend in so well that you literally will not realise they’re being photographed. I could not recommend Abel Riojas more.

MCALLEN HEADSHOTS - There is something quite spectacular that happens when Abel ducks behind the lens of his camera. Cherished memories are treasured more when captured with the gift of a truly talented photographer. It was a joy to have my portrait taken by Abel.

Everyone has given us compliments on our photos. They turned out better than we could have ever imagine. Thank you very much for the amazing job you did with our daughter Alyssa’s Quinceanera and with our family pictures. Thank you for capturing the memories of our daughters special day. Abel has the eye for just the right pose, capturing beautiful and unique with a fresh look, the right lighting and the perfect locations. He listens to the client and is willing to try new things. Most of all he has fun and puts everyone at ease, catching the natural and hidden moments that are usually lost when you work with a photographer who likes to pose and direct. We had a great time working with Abel due to his professional and humble attitude , creative ideas and comfortable atmospheres. We look forward in working with you on all our future events. Thank you so much for absolutely everything. We will be sure to recommend your services and put the word around about our beautiful photos you took for us.

I've been lucky to work with Abel over the years and on several projects. He is so talented and above all easy and wonderful to work with. Highly recommend !

Abel Riojas was the professional photographer for the 40th Annual Collage Gala for the International Museum of South Texas. He photographed guests as they arrived, efficiently snapping couples and groups before they joined the event. Abel made them feel comfortable and relaxed, capturing them at their best! He also captured candid moments throughout the evening, Abel is extremely professional, and courteous and very in-tune to being in the right place to capture the major moments of an event! I highly recommend Abel Riojas Photography!
