When Shayla contacted me she was concerned with selecting the right photographer for her wedding.  With so many options now a days, I honestly feel her pain.  But, my goal is to make it easy for my clients and we hit it off right away!  Shayla is a planner and I LOVE that from my clients.  If you have a vision, my goal is to make that vision a reality.  Shayla sent me a Pinterest board with some samples of images she would like - with that in hand, and with my own spin of artistry, we went off to explore Plant City with her super cool fiancee Preston.   

The weather was perfect for this nature walk engagement session on a nature reserve in Plant City - an area where in talking to Shayla and Preston, was owned at some point by Preston's family!  We are so glad that it's now a place where people can enjoy the beauty of Florida and not filled with houses or development.  We walked to a creek for the first set of photos where we got some beautiful sun rays through the big oak trees.  Then we headed to the tall grass for some final sunset moments.    Overall we had a blast chatting about the wedding, life, and random stuff lol  After Shayla and Preston received their gallery, they said:  "OMG Jose saying they are amazing is an understatement!! We couldn’t be happier with them!!!!"  Thank you Shayla and Preston for trusting me for your engagement and wedding photos.  Can't wait for your big day at Cross Creek Ranch in Dover, Florida! 

Take a peek at some samples of the photos of the engagement session in Plant City below!

Hi!!! Next month we have the wedding of Alex and Katie at the beautiful Sunken Gardens in St. Petersburg, Florida.  For Alex and Katie, St. Pete is their home town and they wanted to have an engagement session with some of the amazing murals found in St. Pete.   

We met at Sunken Gardens and took some photos at their sign, then we drove over to the "Greetings from St. Pete" mural by Derek Donnely from Saint Paint Arts where it started to rain on us, but we came prepared with some lighting equipment and umbrella for a cool shot.  Then we headed to Bandit Coffee for another cool mural.  By then the rain stopped and we were able to relax a little more without having to get wet lol.  I had a blast with Alex and Katie and can't wait for their wedding coming up soon!

Hi! Last Sunday we set out on an adventure at the beautiful Cypress Grove Park in Orlando to capture Gabi's sweet sixteen portraits.  The weather had us nervous since there was a storm going on - typical Florida afternoon lol - but we kept the faith and nature helped us clear the air just in time for our session.  Since the family was also available, we took advantage and got some family portraits too. 

Gabi looked stunning in her beautiful dresses and cheer outfit.  Take a look at the video so you can see a little of what happens behind the scenes on my sessions.  Also, there are some sample images in the video and I included some additional photos below.  Although Photo Harp focuses on weddings, we also capture beautiful images for families!

This weekend we met up with Carolina and Ryan at Lake Mirror, in Downtown Lakeland for an engagement photo session experience.  The weather looked like it was going to rain, but we still made it.  Knowing how Florida is with it's ever changing weather and afternoon storms, I came prepared.  Once we got to Lake Mirror, the sun had hidden behind the clouds and we got a little rain.  We still made it through with some pretty epic photos!  I've learned to always bring a clear umbrella for our sessions, especially if we are photographing in the afternoon.  I'm glad I did on this one and was able to get a nice photo for Carolina and Ryan. 

Take a peek at some of the photos from Carolina and Ryan's engagement session!

When Lizelle reached out to us about their destination wedding in Anna Maria Island we were super stoked!  The Anna Maria Island and Bradenton Beach area has amazing sunsets and we loved the opportunity to capture their celebration of love.  

The ceremony and reception was organized by Beach Breeze Weddings of Sarasota.  The decor was perfect for a sunset beach wedding!   Lizelle and Johnny decided for a very intimate ceremony with family and friends.  We couldn't have asked for a better weather.  After we the ceremony, we took photos with the sunset then everyone continued the celebration at Bridge Street Bistro for an intimate dinner.  

Amazing memories for an amazing couple.  Thank you Lizelle and Johnny for letting us be a part of your day!  Enjoy the slideshow and photos below of their beautiful destination wedding in Anna Maria Island Beach.
