Nestor was wonderful to work with from start to finish. He made us feel comfortable, guided us naturally throughout the day, and paid attention to every little detail so we could simply relax and enjoy ourselves.

The experience felt easy, personal and fun, and the final images beautifully captured not only how our wedding looked, but how it felt. Looking through the gallery truly takes us back to those moments.

We are so grateful for his patience, professionalism and warmth, and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer who creates both beautiful photographs and a beautiful experience.

Thank you for being part of our wedding day!

We couldn't be happier with our experience with Nestor! From the very beginning, he was incredible to work with. His attention to detail was unmatched, and he had so many creative ideas that resulted in the best photos.

He made everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera. Not just us, but our entire wedding party and guests.

When we received our pictures, we were blown away. Every photo perfectly captured the little moments, and joy of our wedding day. We truly couldn't have asked for a better photographer.

If you're looking for someone who is talented, creative, professional, and genuinely great to be around, we can't recommend Nestor enough. Thank you for giving us memories we'll cherish forever!

We had Nestor photograph our personal 20 year vow renewal. We did the trash the dress package. He was so friendly and kind. He led us through regular photos, drone photos, and underwater photos and we will be forever thankful. He gave us something that I hope my children, grandchildren and great grandchildren will cherish on day.

I recently hired a photographer based in Curaçao for my engagement proposal, and the experience exceeded our expectations in every way.

From the start, communication was effortless. I found him on Google and was impressed by the solid reviews, which turned out to be well-deserved. He replied promptly on WhatsApp, was clear about pricing and expectations, and kept everything transparent and honest.

What stood out most was his flexibility and professionalism. We had a few last-minute changes, and he accommodated them without hesitation, which eased a lot of stress on our big day.

Most importantly, he made my partner feel incredibly comfortable. He gently guided her through multiple poses and offered insightful tips that helped capture natural, beautiful moments. The resulting photos are stunning and truly reflect the emotions of the moment.

If you’re looking for a reliable, personable photographer in Curaçao who can handle proposals with grace and deliver gorgeous photos, I highly recommend this photographer. Thank you for helping us preserve such a special moment.

We recently had the pleasure of working with Nestor during our family vacation in Curaçao, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the moment we met, he made us feel comfortable and relaxed, which really came through in the photos.
The location he recommended (Cas Abao) was breathtaking— He also gave us some tips from a local’s perspective: vibrant beaches, colorful streets, and hidden gems we wouldn’t have found on our own. Nestor had a great eye for lighting and composition, and captured both candid moments and beautifully posed shots that we’ll treasure forever.
Turnaround time was quick, and the final gallery was professionally edited with a warm, tropical feel that perfectly matched the vibe of our trip. We especially appreciated the attention to detail and how he worked so well with our child, keeping the session fun and stress-free.
If you're looking for a photographer in Curaçao who combines talent, professionalism, and a personal touch, we highly recommend Nestor. These photos are now some of our favorite keepsakes!

We had the absolute best experience with Nestor during our vacation in Curaçao. From the very beginning, he made us feel so comfortable and at ease—it truly felt special and personal. He captured our maternity, gender reveal, and family photos beautifully, and even created a cinematic video that is beyond breathtaking.

Not only were the results stunning, but he was also timely, professional, and genuinely caring throughout the process. These are memories we’ll treasure forever and one day share with our daughter, and we couldn’t be more grateful.

If you’re considering working with Nestor, do it—you will not regret it. The cinematic video especially was worth every bit extra; it brings the moments to life in a way photos alone can’t.

Thank you, Nestor! May God bless you and your family.

We were delighted with Nestor's work. From the very first moment, he was very professional and attentive, listening to our ideas for the proposal and providing creative suggestions that made all the difference. During the shoot in Curaçao, he captured the magic of the moment: every look, every gesture, and the landscape were captured authentically and naturally.

The photographs have incredible light and color, and the video managed to convey the emotion we were experiencing; watching it again gives us goosebumps all over again. We were fascinated by how he told our story through every frame: from the moment we got ready to my partner's "yes." Furthermore, his kindness and simplicity made us feel comfortable and relaxed throughout.

We would definitely recommend Nestor for any special occasion: his passion for photography and his ability to connect with people guarantee an unforgettable memory. Thank you for helping us preserve that unique day forever!

Made a marriage proposal at Baoase on Curacao this week. This in combination with a photo shoot. The photo shoot went very well. During the photo shoot, Nestor ensures that you are very comfortable. He is also very critical of attitude and position. This ultimately creates very beautiful pictures!

In addition, we received the photos the next day. Which was very nice and fast!

I decided to celebrate my birthday on the island of Curacao in the best hotel on the island. I love to celebrate beautifully, and then I decided to find a photographer on the island to capture my holiday more chicly early in the morning. Yes, I was very lucky that I found this wonderful photographer Nestor. Was so comfortable to work with him cheerful, positive, polite that I invited him to do another photo shoot for us on the same day at sunset before dinner. And yes, I hit the mark again 🍾 It was a super experience. My husband really doesn't like photo shoots, but he was delighted with Nestor's work. Definitely the best photographer in the Caribbean. I advise everyone to spend an hour of pleasure with this professional. And you will not regret it, I promise.

I had the pleasure of having the services of Nestor Zavarce and his incredible team to record my baby's gender reveal, and we couldn't be more satisfied with the result. From the first contact, Nestor demonstrated exceptional commitment and dedication, ensuring that every detail was perfect for this special moment.

The atmosphere during the recording was unbeatable. The passion and professionalism of Nestor and his team were evident in every shot. They created a relaxed and fun environment, allowing us to fully enjoy the experience without worries.

What impressed us most was the rapport that Nestor achieved with us. His ability to understand our expectations and translate them into his work was outstanding. They captured the essence of our moment in a way that exceeded all of our expectations.

I recommend Nestor Zavarce and his team without reservation. Their commitment, dedication and ability to create a wonderful atmosphere make any event become an unforgettable memory. Thank you for making our gender reveal a magical moment!

When planning my wedding destination in Curacao, it was critical to find the best photographer. From day 1 of contacting Nestor, he made the process so easy and exciting to plan our event. When it came time to taking the wedding photos, he used so many different techniques and poses to capture us in the daylight, sunset and nightfall. The photos are impeccable and so is his work ethic. Nestor and his wife are the team that you want for your most precious life moments.

When we booked our trip to Curacao, I knew I wanted to have pictures taken for our 15th Anniversary. We didnt know any photographers on the island, and Nestor came referred to us by a local. We could not be happier that we chose him for our anniversary photo session! Not only was he communicative during the early process, he was patient, gave fantastic beach recommendations for the shoot (and ones to visit during our trip), he graciously picked us up from our hotel, and provided a fun and memorable experience. Amazingly pictures were delivered within 4 days and were more than I could have hoped for! I would highly recommend to anyone looking for keepsakes!

BEFORE YOUR SESSION

A few simple tips

Coordinated outfits work better than perfectly matching outfits.
Neutral and complementary colors usually photograph beautifully.
Avoid large logos or very distracting patterns.
Opt for light, breathable fabrics and comfortable clothing. In Curaçao’s warm climate, colors and materials that help minimize visible perspiration are recommended.
Schedule young children around naps and meals whenever possible.
Bring water and any small essentials your children may need.
Let children be themselves — there is no need to rehearse poses beforehand.
