Val is amazing! I have hired him 3 times and have been so pleased with each occasion...he did a wedding, a family reunion and now a house we are renting out. (I had my own photos up for the house on Zillow and didn't get any response, I hired him and the day I put his photos on Zillow in place of mine, I got two calls of people that wanted to rent it) His work is outstanding and second to none. He is so nice to work with and gives you lots of time and is never rushed or looking at the clock. I recommend him 100% and will continue to use him for all of my professional photographic needs!

Val was absolutely amazing! I was very picky when I was choosing photographers, as I have experience in the media arts, but I was very pleased to find Val through wedding wire. I read all the reviews and saw his images and I knew he was just what I was looking for! The pictures came out more perfect than I could have ever imagined! My husband and I were super impressed with the creative and beautiful shots he did. He captured the day perfectly! Super nice guy! We had a specific picture in mind with Cigars and we couldn't find them, so Val stayed extra time until we were able to find the cigars so we could have our cool shots! We are so thankful to have had him as our photographer. Our family and friends were also blown away by the beautiful shots he took of the day when we showed them. Thank you so much for capturing our special day Val! You're the best! More...

I couldn't be happier with Val's pictures for my listing. He is very responsive and I received the finished photos within 24 hours! Val is the only person I use for all of my deals, and I would recommend him to anyone who wants fast quality service. More...

Val has been our family photographer for a few years now. A friend of ours recommended him to be our wedding photographer and we sure are glad she did! I only trust his artistic eye to capture our special moments, big and small. Recently, he did an incredible photoshoot of our newborn, not an easy task to position the baby and capture the "awwwwwww" moments. He did EXACTLY the close up details as I wanted them. Just the other day, I asked him to restore a picture I took ages ago with an iPhone 3 (you could count the pixels!) and within few days he produced a printable version for free! It was a gift for our mom and she absolutely loves it. Val's talent is extraordinary and he'll be our family photographer until he retires, wherever we are! More...

Professional, charismatic and with a special gift to capture the right moment. Second year we had the pleasure of having Mr. Dostalek as our official photographer at two annual galas plus smaller events. 100% recommendable. Thank you for your excellent work. More...

Val is AMAZING. Not only are his pictures incredible, he's super easy to work with. Val is open to any and all ideas and directed us when needed.
His eye for a great shot is beyond me. And he's there to snap candid moments you didn't know happened! I would absolutely use him again. My friends and family already have his info :-)
We are 100% happy and excited with his work.

Val was absolutely the best! I was searching for a photographer and found him on yelp. I let him know my situation and how soon I needed a photograph and he instantaneously mentioned me, not to mention the value for the service you receive. We are a big Mexican family, at times chaotic and u organized but he was able to work through us and capture the best part of our celebration. We highly recommend him. More...

Val was everything we were looking for and more! He was very flexible and willing to work with what we wanted, then offered his own insights and ideas to make the shoot 10x better than we expected. He was also very generous with his time and services, and VERY quick. He had our entire shoot edited and we had our pictures back in less than a day. Definitely worth it! Highly recommended! More...

Val was great. He took so many pictures, it was awesome. Only thing I would change is I wish he spoke a little louder and gave more directions as to what he needed us to do to get certain shots. But he was amazing with my family.

My husband and I are so happy we chose Val as our wedding photographer! He was friendly, polite and professional throughout the entire experience. Val showed up on time and did a great job capturing all of our favorite moments from the big day. When we asked if we could meet separately for extra shots he gladly did so to make sure we got what we wanted. His photography is simply beautiful and he captures great candid shots!! More...

There is no other choice, Val is the best! I would highly recommend him to photograph your special day. He was very professional and great to work with. He's so friendly you forget he's there to take the photographs, he was part of our wedding party. We were extremely lucky to have such an amazing photographer for such a reasonable price and we got our photos sent to us quicker than expected. I can't wait to have another event to hire him for, the pictures he took are absolutely stunning works of art. Thank you so much Val! More...

Val is wonderful!!! He helped us with our wedding; which was somewhat of a destination wedding since we are from Nebraska and it took place in beautiful San Diego. In addition to his creativity, he is a very kind and patient man. Every time I sent an email he responded in a timely manner and worked wonderfully with our coordinator, they worked together in reviewing the time line and discovered that we would have no Pics of the cake cutting with what I had set up originally. You'll never guess he offered to stay and at no additional cost. NOT to forget to mention his packages were amazingly priced!!! AMAZING! In addition to his creativity & wonderful personality; if anything you should AT LEAST meet him and get a quote. You won't be sorry... I promise. More...

Val has such an amazing eye for detail! He and his wife captured our wedding in ways that we hadn’t expected. From both posed shots to candids, there were so many memories that they captured! There was this one shot that we had showed him of another couple and he not only found that spot but replicated the photo using us instead!!!! We couldn’t be happier with the way they turned out and we absolutely recommend him to anyone! More...

Val is the best photographer I've ever met and had the pleasure of working with. I couldn't have asked for better wedding pictures. He was everything I've ever dreamed of for a photographer. I feel so blessed that he was a part of the biggest day of my life. Our work together isn't finished yet. We will always use him for any pictures we need... forever! He so artistic with his work, it's incredible. I'm forever grateful. More...
