“Upon recommendation by numerous other Aussie families, I reached out to Oliver and hired him as a holiday photographer to take beautiful photos of my family exploring, discovering and experiencing all the magic of LA and the OC.
There are things which can make or break a holiday and I can honestly say that Oliver MADE our holiday. Our children loved him and so did we!
He was a wealth of knowledge and helped me with our itinerary to maximise our time and tailor it to what would suit US best. I preferred this option over doing a set tour on a time limit. During our stay we explored from Malibu down to Laguna Beach. We visited Crytpo Arena, Griffiths Observatory, The Hollywood Sign Trail, The Walk of Fame, Beverley Hills, The Grove, The Farmers Market, Santa Monica, Venice Beach, Venice Canals, Malibu, Universal Studios, Disneyland, The California Adventure Park, Laguna Beach, Huntington Beach, Manhattan Beach… And even a mad dash to Walmart!
Nothing was too much trouble and he was ALWAYS very accommodating. He knew all the best spots for photos as well as the best time of day to be there. I took plenty of photos myself but it was a real joy to be able to be ‘in’ the moment and know that it was still being captured. We ended our trip with a huge collection of beautiful edited photos, both posed and candid, and we can now look back and relive those special moments while we save to go back!”

“My sons, 18 and 21, are flying back to the UK as we speak from a 2.5 week trip to LA. It was their first time flying without me and I was a little apprehensive. I joined this group to see if I could arrange an airport transfer for them, so they wouldn’t have to wait around for a taxi etc. I came across Oliver Rio Barbosa and lots of good reviews, so I reached out to him to arrange an airport collection and return transfer. He was responsive and friendly and booked them in. He gave me the details of his car, where exactly he’d be parking etc and instructions to pass onto the boys. They text him when they landed and it was such a smooth process. Oliver kindly messaged me once he’d dropped them off, good job he did, as my boys were too excited and forgot to tell me! They extended their stay by 5 days and thankfully Oliver was available and rescheduled the return transfer with no trouble. My boys are in the air now, and again, Oliver messaged to let me know he’d dropped them.
Honestly, as a parent, I couldn’t have asked for a more communicative and caring experience. I am so glad I joined this group and found Oliver and we would absolutely recommend.
Thank you Oliver”
